Re: Scenario: Orania Nasty Edition
 

Sammael,

Oops, yes, "Vision of the Abyss" does not have a misc. slot - silly thing to have overlooked when I changed it from a Warlock to a Telestic Animate to prevent the AI from moving it away immediately. Fixed in next release. As for getting killed by its bodyguards, however, these things happen http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif (Why were enemies allowed to assault the Infernal Gate in the first place??? - still, something to look at)

At 0 order, a tax level of 50-60% is enough to keep the Infernal Gate free of unrest. If you want to make a deal with the devil you have got to live with the results. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif As the free devil-summoning is thematic, I am not changing this. Abysia gets the best free creature summoning site and must live with its few disadvantages.


Inigo Montoya,

1) You cannot. It is currently not possible to set a scenario to allow renaming. This sucks. I hope it is changed in future releases.

2) Pass

3) Overkill, I guess, and a guaranteed source of death magic

4) ANY text editor will do for editing text files. You can even use windows notepad if you are into S/M, though I advocate using a real text editor. On a windows platform, I would suggest using the Programmer's File Editor for three reasons, 1) it is free, 2) it loads incredibly fast, and 3) it is good.

No suggestions, just curious.

Im having a great time with this map. Its what I always referred to as the kindof play offered in my random maps, but better done manually and logically (which I dont have the patience to do)

I think I will even link to it off my site as an example of that in the hopes that others might do some also.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I am not currently planning to do anything 2.11 specific as I have not had enough playing time to see if anything desperately needs fixing. From the release notes, I suspect not.

One great benefit with 2.11 is that you now get a reduced scenario setup window for those settings not defined in a scenario, which means that renaming, hall of fame size, &etc is now alterable. (You still do not get to alter the independents strength, fortunately. It is designed to be played on strength 9 and that is what it will be - unless you edit the file).

I am likely to release 1.1 some time soon ("When it is done" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ) featuring several minor tweaks.


<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">My pleasure to aid your enjoyment. As always, feel free to provide constructive criticism and suggestions for enhancements, and to link to it to your heart's content.

Re: Scenario: Orania Nasty Edition
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">OK actually I linked to it twice. Once on the links page referring to it as something like I do (but done better). And again in a thoughts page about how Icould collaborate with someone combining my wildly random programmed method with well-thought out named provinces. The conversation is HERE if your interested.

i ran into a couple problems with pangea on this map. With Carrion Woods one of the magic sites in the capital damages undead, while with new era i couldn't produce any minotaurs at treelord's rest despite have prod +3 scales.

Re: Scenario: Orania Nasty Edition
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The first one is intentional - it is a most holy site indeed. If Pangaea has truly become so perverted that it abandons Gaia, it is wisest to base your activities out of Treelord's rest. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The second one - what exactly do you mean? Too few resources? Treelord's rest has 5 neighbouring provinces, of which you control only 2 to start. When you have conquered the rest, you should suck enough resources to allow you to build a minotaur per turn, even with the crappy Arkaic Fortress the Treelord owns (unless Ermor has already drained the provinces)

I guess I could add some bonus resources to Treelord's rest, but I always pictured that province as more of a magical masterpiece than a marshalling field for troops, really, what with its insane +8 nature gems, 50% enchantment, 20% thaumaturgy, and resident Treelord.

Re: Scenario: Orania Nasty Edition
 

Without wishing to be rude, did 1.1 ever get released? All the links I can find are to v1.0 ...
