It might be a silly question, but did you remember to enable mods in the game options menu? I forgot that one the first time.

haha ok I forgot to "enable mods."   Got that to work and then I also checked Magnar III's starting combat speed and now it says two so I hope that means all my mods are active.  I'll check the spell animations later when I have some time.  Thanks for everyone's help

Just noticed another error. The mod changes enriched land tooltip to say that it produces like a normal farm. But the fact is, that a farm on an enriched land produces 20 food instead of the normal 4. I wasn't aware that resources could use the <Production> tag to increase the output of the building constructed. Will fix in next release.

Edit: It's the only resource in-game that actually uses that tag (others have it set to 1).

Uploaded 1.6 with the fix for the enriched land. Also finished the "polish" on all the tactical spells (everything should work now)

Also included is now HF106_spell_Shardproof_Spellbooks.xml because it became impossible to fix some of the spells by overwriting, so I had to create new internal spell names. The spells that required fresh internal names were Burning Blade, Shield of Fire, Haste, Freeze Enemy, Good Luck

The BIG problem with passive buffs like these is that they all stack, and there's no way to avoid that in tactical combat. That's why you're seeing "nerfed" versions of what was in the core files (no more *2^4 defense for 8 mana). That's why I avoided "add 25% damage" altogether - with 3-4 casters you could create an unstoppable monster. You still can, only it won't be nearly as strong.

Edit2: Damn... forgot about good luck. Oh well, don't stack it unless you're a cheat. Will fix in next release.

That's Great Work, Heavenfall. Really well done. SD should incorporate your work here into the next patch.

Oh crap, I forgot to type out Berserk.

It's not in the summary, but it is in the mod.

Edit: Also, if you cast Sprint on yourself twice, you can move without any cost. Fixed in next update.

Another big "Thanks Amigo" from me as well Heavenfall. Installing as I type.

Question,

But are the Spell fixes you did, compatible with new particle effects for the Fire spells (which are awesome) in that IceCrown mod? (Since they both use  the spellbook.xml file, but in the Icecrown mod, only the fire spells stuff are there) As I'd really prefer to use the Fire Spell effects, as their sooo much better, lol.

thanks,

I don't know, try it out.

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.

Looks like I broke grim defiance as well, not getting the bonus from that. It worked earlier. I'll fix it for next release.

Yea, that is what I assumed as well, I'm in the process of a current game, so anything after 1.04 will have to wait before I put it in (Stinks that you have to start a new game every single time for these changes to go into effect), but when I initially copied 1.04, I deliberately held out on the spellbook.xml file that Heavenfall did, as I had a feeling it would overwrite it. As man, those new particle effects are just to good not to have, hehe.

I was looking at these earlier, how does the game tell how much of a resource to produce for the player, per turn?  I couldn't find anything in the core resources other than <Production> value equaling 1, but I know that a ventri mine produces more.

What determines the value, if you don't mind me asking?

The improvement you actually build on the Resource is what determines this. Those can be found in the Unlimited Improvements xml files.

The production of the improvement, multiplied by the <Production> tag of the resource.

Probably a silly question, but I only need to download the latest version of your patch, right?  Because you show 6 different versions to download.

Yes.

Thanks, guys.  I was considering changing the different values around to reflect the intent of the tooltips, rather than the other way around.  So that having a pumpkin patch is meaningful, rather than the same as a fertile ground resource.

Is there anything you could do to get the Royalty prestige bonus of NPCs to work properly? My heart sinks whenever I encounter one right now!

I'll check it out.

Hey Heavenfall, you seem to be one of the most knowledgable guys around here. 

I noticed that there are some items that are not linked to the female body type.  When I make girl archers, I can't add two of the cloaks, but when I make boy archers I can.  Any idea?

No idea.

1.7 uploaded

First, Good Luck now gives +33% of current dodge. So if you've got 0% dodge, you'll get 33%. Re-cast, and you'll get 55. Recast again and you'll get 70. And so on. This is only possible due to the unique nature of the dodge stat - it's unfortunately not applicable to defense or attack (since the Dodge value always ranges between 0-100).

Second, Grim Defiance fixed. It correctly applied 10% more hitpoints to every trained unit. But "hit points" in this game is relative. There's the unitstat_hitpoints and there's the in-game term hit points (also called health sometimes) which is really unitstat_hitpoints+unitstat_constitution. Fixed so it affects both types.

Third, the sprint ability can only be cast once per battle now (and only on the sion himself/herself).

And

Also a special LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL at the Umber fix.

I wonder if thats why Umber seems to be the most powerful enemy AI in every game I play. They are often power rated 800 when I am in the 400's. (I still beat them in tactical combat since doesn't matter if you are rated 1,000 since you can only take one army against me at a time)

It certainly isn't road warriors or 10% more metal giving them that boost.
