Please fix the Defense Rating issue that currently Bogs the Tactical battles down once units with 15+ Defense ratings (most any stack) hit the field. Can we please have Stacks Offensive and Defensive ratings reduced as the Stack whittles and then dies. The current special abilities afforded those units with Essence, even small amounts, are simply wasted when facing De
A Copy and or Save as Option would be ideal as well. If I create a 3-peice (wall segment for example), I should be able to both select the 3 and Save that as an NEW Object for use later on or copy it whole for use immediately.

Well done, so BUMP! :)

It always seems a bit unfair to compare any 2 games, and there AI's, when one is in its 5th iteration of build versus one that is in its 1st and running on a brand new Engine. Are there any other NEW (as in, not version 4 or 5 or 12) Empire building/4X games coming out in the near future based on NEW engines that will have to have new AI's created? I
Raven X, how many enemies did you place? I have found that the more there are and the longer they get to grow/build the more memory gets consumed. Try and take out a couple of Factions, raze their cities, Save and restart and see if that helps extend the # of Turns in game. My last game went 900 turns but had to be restarted a couple/five times until I found and eliminated a couple larger factions on the map.</span
What I would like to see is enemy stacks, as they die off, get their defense values reduced. Currently, you destroy HP's but the Defense stat of any group remains the same. If a stack has 4 men, as they die, the groups defense should be reduced by 1/4th for each man lost. It can be very disheartening currently to go Tactical and face 750 enemy HP in 2 units or stacks
Apologies. I cleaned out DropBox by accident. My Images are gonzo.
Here is one. Was going along well then BOOM! Memory Out. :) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8370296/Elemental1_07-2010-09-04T22-54-54-412.zip
When the Python API's get released, then the true FUN and Depth can begin. Until then, learn the in's and out's of the XML and simply play the game. It is still FUN if you let it be... ;)
Here are some from the Beta time frame. I will keep an eye out here and see if I can help. :) https://forums.elementalgame.com/389861

Thanks Heavenfall. Always appreciated. :)
Try here. And then check the others in the series by Boogiebac. https://forums.elementalgame.com/389510

Just bouncing thoughts here but it seems Gnilbert has made a new "item" in game, along the lines of "Gold" or "Mana". Seeing as how Gold can be Calculated, what might cause a "new item" not to be seen as such? Perhaps a List of useable "items" is hardcoded?
Cool. Nice Mod btw. :)
[quote]"That's the beauty of mods, you can use them or not, your choice"[/quote] But without knowing the side-effects, how would a potential user, be able to make an informed decision about using it or not? Best case is a Readme.txt file inclusion which states any draw backs that/might exist.
@Carlzilla Not sure of the affect, I am not home, but there is a Typo in the entry for the Z_TaxOffice_01 It reads Z_TaxOffice) 01
Sounds like a Move of the Original files from "/Program Files(x86)/Elemental/data/English/Core Improvements" then replace with your "Robust" version, then run the "ill-advised at this time" /createxmlbinary"
[quote who="wraithstalke" reply="22" id="2749758"]@John_Hughes: They're only available to custom sovereigns (in creation) at no cost. Allowing you to buy armour in creation, which is better than padded, probably unbalances the game somewhat, even if they had a cost associated with them (owing to the multiplicative effects of Dexterity). Since all the armour is available at shops, after researching the relevant t
They may be in the Core files area. Not to argue, but, the objects have to have, at worse, an .xml file associated with them, otherwise how do they get built in game? I will check tonight to see what I can dig up on this. It seems strange is all... P.S. And I have been wrong before. Once. ;)
Good job Raven X. Will add it to my game now. The Mods I placed already are great and this will add in nicely. I knew E:WoM would be a Modders delight. I am digging in to the Particle Accelerator myself. Perhaps I will test some Undead particles. :)
[quote who="GalahadtheElder" reply="6" id="2750407"]Yeah... but that's not a Resoln city that looks like mine would at around turn 40 at the start of the game... and that's what I mean. But thanks.[/quote] Those city based objects obviously already exist. You just need to find them, place them as you wish and voila. Your Resoln city lives.
Unless I missed it, Most/All of your armors has no cost in the creation screen? Perhaps there should be a cost associated relative to armor protection...
Speculation would assume that the changes Heavenfall makes over-ride the "default file code" from within the MOD dir. As such, the particle changes, not being related to Heavenfalls changes, would be over-ridden as well when also placed in the MOD dir. If that makes any sense. :)
One way is to open your Map and add existing tiles to the map. I can't think of the proper term right off but there are a quite a few pre-built structures available. Anything special has to be pre built, added to the proper Dir, thenit comes up on the List in the Map editor.
