Actually skin color is why I always create my custom factions with my own faction generator. I like my factions to have either blue or green skin most of the time. Don't know why.
[quote who="davidabc66" reply="4" id="3130034"] I like in part, but dislike it being an "all or nothing" approach. Yeah, using WMD's is likely to piss off a lot of people, but not to the point of everyone else declaring war, no exceptions. The more evil races would likely be cool with it regardless, and others would see it as justified against those races, and regardless of moral leanings allies would be more understanding when dealing with a mutual foe. If there oth
I really want to say that I prefer gameplay over eye-candy, but I think that the visual differentiation as well as the stat differences will make this game much more enjoyable. Looking forward to trying the new factions out.
Heavenfall, thanks for the fix. Just curious, what is the primary problem when designing your own sovereign with these factions?
Looks like the Ice Giants (at least the sovereign) have a strategic movement bug. After a battle they get a large increase in strategic movement. After the 1st battle I had 18 moves, after the 2nd I had 26. I haven't played with any of their units yet to see if that is related to immovable glacier or something else.
Played for 20 mins last night (:grumble kids taking my playing time: :) ). Looks good so far, no problems. I'll play a bit more today. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Wohoo! I'll try it out at lunch (assuming my work laptop can handle the memory requirements). Great job!
I am certainly willing to step in to help this effort if it is needed. I'll keep an eye on this in particular once we get "The Spreadsheet" .
I like the look of the multi-tile cities, but I think from a game standpoint I would really prefer the 1 tile cities.
[quote who="Tasunke" reply="10" id="3117221"]Murteas, that is a pretty cool 'Elemental' Flag ... perhaps a take on the Naga design? I really think there should be a flag like that I'd select it for at least one Custom Civ. [/quote] I got a cool plug-in to Gimp that lets me make flags for elemental, and then I took one of the elemental art pictures and took the Ignys out of it. If you are interes
They usually don't remove options. I think they are trying to decide which to have on by default.
Really like the different races you are coming up with here. Looking forward to trying this out.
Great idea!
Fair enough. I'll probably still have the random faction creator make "balanced" factions though.
Sure, I can do that. I tried to guess what most people would want, but I can add more. How many do you think you would want? (5 positive and 3 negative should be the max). Maybe I'll just change it to the checkboxes like the in game editor. Do you want it to enforce the 2 point max, or do you just want to be able to go crazy regardless of the imbalance?
Yeah, it's an Ignys. I was playing with making some new flags/logos for some custom factions and I liked this one in particular. I'll probably put another picture up of my son once I get his 4 month pictures. I'm always open to avatar switching, but I probably shouldn't do it too often, it's good to be recognized sometimes. :)
Yeah, as sean said we are going to get an Excel spreadsheet with some heavy duty macros that should allow us to make changes to a lot of things, but for now, I use this for all my custom races. I may make an item creator as well, or a logo creator. I'm still deciding.
Updated this to have a few abilities I was missing from FE. Added a tooltip to the abilities so you can see their description.
I made a faction editor back for the WoM beta, I've updated it a bit for the FE beta. It works so you can mod all the colors of the faction. It will even generate random factions. Feel free to try it out: https://forums.elementalgame.com/416167
The things you mention as basic framework, are actually something that is relatively easy to change, and will get smoothed out in the balance and polish passes. IMO, I think the game is in the high 7's range for me. It needs some interface love and the aforementioned balance and polish passes to get to the high 8 or 9 level. Honestly I love playing it, and choose it over other games I have on my computer right now. I want
No reason at all to not use Win 7 64bit now, unless you have some piece of expensive equipment that simply won't work with Win 7 64 bit. I have 3 computers at home and only 1 of them is vista 32 bit, the other 2 are Win 7 64. So I say bring on the 64bit requirements, bring on the mulit-core requirements and the modern OS requirements.
Looks promising. I'll check it out. good job!
Awesome! Despite my own efforts of creating a quest editor. I am so (!!!) glad they are going to release one with the game. Hopefully we'll get it sooner rather than later, but I understand the concern. Perhaps they can flag crash reports if they happen while a mod is in use. that way they don't chase phantom bugs. I guess they could ask modders to not release mods for a while, but give us the tools to start working o
Tried a new game and didn't experience the same problem. Odd, guess I was just "lucky" or I really needed to know what way was north. :)
I'm getting a ton of compass drops now (Like 4 in 50 turns), any idea if that could be due to this mod? I looked at your modified coreitems and compass is at likelihood 37 so I don't think it is messing it up, but I don't know. I am using the alchemy mod as well, which I'll turn off and try a new game to see if it affected it.
