[e digicons]:omg:[/e] - Okay, well, I'll keep this around. I also noticed you can't change the building colors, etc in the Stardock editor. It just uses a single color. I'm not sure if that was intentional or just to make it less cluttered. I'll keep things around for now. BTW, the tech tree in this editor does work correctly. :)

In the Day 0 patch notes: + Faction Editor “Faction Creator” hooked up Looks like this project may not be needed anymore. If anyone disagrees after tonight's patch let me know and I'll see what we still need. I'll move on to another mod project if not.
+ Faction Editor “Faction Creator” hooked up Great. Looks like my editor can RIP. :)
Hey, if you remove all the seed maps, it does generate a random map . It just checked it works. Try it. Just move any files with the words seed in the title from the game map directory ( \data\Maps), then start a new game. Voila random map. Try it you'll like it. They won't be balanced (but you do start with fertile ground close by at least in all mine I did). Good luck!
maniakos, I fully hope that we get the official faction editor soon. As this is really only a temporary fix. If we need it to be more permanent, then it will need a lot more effort for it to be usable by everyone (i.e. explanations for each characteristic, display the logos, etc.). However, there seemed to be a need and a lot of people didn't want to edit their own XML and I could do something about that. I intend to support this as much as needed as
Found a new hosting location. Should work for a while. Edited first post with new download location.
Yeah, my goal is to put some tool tips in there so you know what things do. I just have to find time to actually do it. Plus with the patch coming any time this will probably change again. If someone has a better place to host the file let me know and I'll put it there.
You could include the Faction editor if you want to: https://forums.elementalgame.com/390184
Quick update. I'll update again after the Day 0 patch goes live (assuming there are changes to make).
I'll look into it. I really want to wait to release for the day 0 patch so I don't have to change values again for the xml, but I check and see what might have broken. any specific bonuses/flaws that aren't working for you?
That is intentional for the campaign. As you progress other technologies/spells will become available. The campaign plays a lot differently than the sandbox mode. edit: Ninja'd [e digicons]:ninja:[/e]
Purple Paladin, Frogboy said in a post last night that they have been convinced to add tact. battles back in to MP. It will be coming in the future.
The faction editor does allow you to change the color of your faction (clothing, houses, skin, hair, metal, etc.) I can add some newlines to the xml, however any good xml editor should be able to do that as well when you open the file. In either case, I'll add the newlines so that it is more readable. New version coming soon. It will also have an ability modifier area (i.e. faction gets a 25% increase to strength or a 50% mana regen bonu
[quote who="Nktalloth" reply="2" id="2725555"]No race or faction editor huh[/quote] There is one available in the mods section. If it doesn't have the features you want, write a comment. I'm sure the author would be happy to take suggestions. ;)
Thank you for the great support. The game is excellent. It is fun to see the improvements from beta 4 to the gold ++ version. Looking forward to being in the group for the long haul. Thanks to the whole team!
This should still work for the released version. I will update once we get the day 0 patch.
Also, make sure you are not modding the original files, but instead making a mod file and putting in the mod directory. I think they pre-loaded the xml, and if they don't see a new file to load, it will assume the existing xml is the same (could be wrong on this, but it might also be contributing to the problem).

/signed Thank you so much Stardock, you guys are really amazing at the effort and dedication you put forth. Really looking forward to the great journey that is just beginning with Elemental.
Great story. That was an epic battle. This makes me so happy. Looking forward to next week.
Download archive....good to know. I ran into this problem when I moved to a new computer. I just redownloaded everything, but I'll try the download archive option. (That way on Monday or Tuesday, I can download it at work and bring it home and install it here at home :) ) Less downtime before playing FTW.
So awesome. I am really excited to play. Quick Question: So are you happy with how Yithril played, should they have crushed you? Is there something else that was preventing them from striking at your capital? Great AAR. Looking forward to part 4 (and making my own once we get the game ) :)
Awesome. This just makes it that much harder to wait for release. Thanks for sharing Frogboy!
Indeed, I have been a stardock fan since the original galCiv saved me from MOO3. :) I've not regretted a purchase from Stardock yet.
Hopefully, this will be a moot point sometime in the near future when custom servers are available. I agree, can we go back to the "we all love each other" forums that we used to have? [e digicons]:inlove:[/e]
