[quote who="Naidrev" reply="29" id="3385911"]The reason I mention this is because right now, most of the summons' levels are not directly linked to amount of shards controlled. Some of them are, and the decision seems to be random.[/quote] Yep that's a fair point. Initially I had it setup so that (almost) all the summons got +1 level per shard, so even the Shrills etc. So in the early days it was consistent, you knew you'd pretty much always get a level bonus f

Not me personally, I haven't gone to it because of the issue reported so far. I guess it's possible 1.3b has affected the level up somehow... certainly seems possible given the other weird behaviors reported.

It seems redundant with everything having prerequisites?[/quote] It was added a few versions ago in LH. I could be wrong but I think that's what is now used to determine when to hide stackable abilities - like when you have dodge1 and dodge2, only dodge2 is displayed on the unit card.

Yeah, you'd have to get HF to make you lots of low poly models of the other races, since he's pretty much got the market cornered on that front ;-)

Reply to remove/disable abilities in LH Modding Elemental Forums

BTW just with #1, you should be able to use a Unitstat to present 2 options for the tinker ability... one for mancer and one for everyone else. They'd both appear though, you'd have to have them in different locations on the path. The one that is not available would be disabled. You'd have to give all mancers the unitstat.

[quote]1) Is there a way to make an ability vanish using any of the 'restricted'-Types or a workaround to query if something is NOT true? [/quote] To the best of my knowledge (and i'd love to be proven wrong), the only thing that works this way is the Allegiance prereq (like the Wisp/Lightbringer/Summon Skeleton abilities). I don't think it's possible to hide/show an ability depending on race or AbilityBonusOption. Real

Reply to Citizens of villages and cities? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

I don't believe that's possible. My understanding is that they're all individually placed props in each tile/building. I don't even think there is props for non humans. You could probably make them... and then manually place them on a new tileset.... tons of work. Someone more knowledgeable that I will no doubt correct me if i'm wrong.

Reply to Lord of the Rings Total Conversion in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I think FE/LH would work pretty well for a LotR conversion, although having said that there is already lots of options around for playing LOTR mods. You'd probably be better off going with LH though as most people seem to have moved onto it.

[quote who="Brainjuggler" reply="25" id="3385537"]Isn't this exactly what the Summoning Pool was invented for? Maybe the pool needs to go way down and the mana costs removed completely?[/quote] Yep! Though I still want the summons to have some maintenance cost also. So I think it's all about getting the mana vs summon pool balance right. With the dragon example, another way to tackle it would be to (greatly) increase the summon pool cost/maintenance...

Great feedback guys thanks. Couple of things... [quote who="Brainjuggler" reply="23" id="3385443"]The problem with lots of mana maintenance is that then your empire can't cast anything else.

I agree though, that if the dragon stays (and i'm toying with getting rid of it) increasing th

@Brainjuggler - yeah maybe a fluke. I wonder what level other factions were at that stage. L14 does seem rather high for 130 turns in. Let me know things go next game, appreciate the feedback.

Reply to DoubleText in Descriptions in LH Modding Elemental Forums

It might actually be giving you double the benefit to, i.e. it could be more than a cosmetic issue. Regardless it's not "normal behavior" even for a mod. I'd suggest you move this thread out of LH Support (because Stardock won't help in any case if you have mod's installed). If you move this over to the LH Modding section you'll probably get feedback from the guys who created the mods. I think you can move the thread via the edit button.

Thanks Brainjuggler, yeah I just really wasn't into the direction they took the Mage path. I think/hope this mod provides a more interesting alternative. I haven't had as much time to actually play it as I would have liked (still working on mod stuff) so the balance is probably all over the place. Let me know how you go and if you spot any problems, cheers.

Strategic spell targets, global type spells? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Hi all, I'm guessing this might have been asked in the past but I can't find anything. Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to have a strategic spell (say an enchantment) target: 1) all friendly units (globally) 2) all friendly units in your zone of control 3) all friendly units stationed in cities 4) something remotely similar ? Thanks.

Yeah the path selection screen is horrible from a modders perspective. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to at least put next/previous buttons on it so you can click to see the next lot of paths. I've got some other mods in the pipeline that add more paths so need to try and find something better. @sjaminei/Victor5 - can you elaborate on the icon problem.... are there icons missing.. ability icons or spell icons? Or is it that the trait trees are

No particle effect for tactical summons? in LH Support Elemental Forums

Is it just me... or are the particle effects not showing for tactical summons? As far as I can tell when I cast Summon Shadow Ward in tactical it is supposed to play the "Y_SummonDeathDemon_Particle" particle... but I see nothing? Similarly all other tactical summons spells have effects specified in the xml. Can anyone else confirm whether they do or don't see any particles for any of the tactical summons? Thanks.

If you take a look at this mod (which is an old one for FE not LH): https://forums.elementalgame.com/436540/page/1/#3293827 I believe it mucks around with water percentages for random maps. This definitely used to work in FE because I used to have water percentages reduce on my random maps. I'd be surprised if it's not possible to reduce the percentage in LH the same way.
