DOWNLOAD THE NEW VERSION OF F.O.L. HERE
 

*** NEW RELEASE v. 0.92 Beta ***

--- Added ---
* Two new Pretenders - Tree of Life and Forest Monolith.
* Full Description to all units/Pretenders/Commanders.

--- Graphical changes ---
* The FOL flag (again).
* Minor changes to Forest Dragon.
(this wont be the last http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )


--- New Weapon ---
*Added Ancient Forest Sprites.


--- Balance issues ---
* Huge reduce in Stealth abilities in general. (Though a new ability like Forest stealth would be appriciated http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )
* Ritual Sword no longer have Armor piercing.
* Thorned Claw no longer have Armor piercing and don't count as a magical weapon.
* Elven Archer -1 Precision
* Faery no longer have 100% Shock res.
* Faery Queen No longer have 100% shock res. and reduced Magic res. from 20 to 18.
* Unicorn don't have stealth.
* Silver Unicorn don't have stealth.
* Moonlight Mistress don't have stealth.
* Wardancer reduced fear to -4 and reduced Magic res. by -1.
* Wardancer Champion reduced fear to -2 and reduced Magic res. by -1.
* Forest Dryad cost 50 gold instead of 40.
* Willow dryad cost 145 gold instead of 135 gold.
* Elven Scout lost the ability to instill uprising.
* Forest Priestess added awe +0
* Meadow Priestess added awe +0
* Elven Druid added research bonus +2
* Elven Elder Druid added research bonus +2


--- Misc. changes ---
* Moonlight Mistress can now only be bought at starting province.
* Black Bull, Lord of The Wild and Vine Dragon have been replaced with Black Unicorn, Forest Dragon and Spirit of the Forest. (This will break your current game if you these pretenders)
* Waywatcher is now recruitable in every castle.
* Elven Scout and Waywatcher aren't affected by the stealthy cutdown.


It was my intension to have 5 only-recruitable-at-province units (waywatcher, Treant, Unicorn, Silver Unicorn, Moonlight Mistress), but it's not possible at current time.
So instead I change the waywatcher around with Moonlight Mistress. If people want to play as it meant only recruit these five units at the home province.
That will make it difficult to play FOL, because the only level 3 priest is only avaible at home province.

Bone Daddy be my guest to correct my description. I'm sure there is enough grammer error to drive an english teacher crazy.

*** Changes from v.091 ***
* Wardancer and Wardancer chamipon no longer holy(sacred).
* New flag.
* New Banner.
* Added 50 more names (200 names are now avaible split into 3 catagories).
* Changed the stats of Forest Shield.
* Corrected the name of Spirit of the Forest.
* reduced the cost of Unicorn and Silver Unicorn by 10.

Many thanks to you guys who came with input and suggestions or just commented the project http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
By the way could I get some feedback on the FOL pretenders?

with best regards

Looking very interesting -- just DLing now, will test asap, but probably cannot post with anything conclusive before 1 week is up (next Sunday or Monday even maybe).

Some minor notes just by looking at your post (wthiout checking your new zip):
- I wanted to mod Pan too for Oglala for many reasons (Pretender picks, cheap Temples, Theme, etc.), but ended up taking TC because of 1. the starting sites I could choose from and 2. the starting spells were what I needed. I think Pan has few sites with capital-only non-commanders. Maybe you could consider a different nation? Or see if there are any other sites?
- Any particular reason for the +2 research bonus on the druids?
- I havent actually tested your FoL pretenders yet, but saw them, and they looked fine (both in terms of balance and in terms of thematic flavor and graphics!). Havent opened your new package yet.

Anyhow, thanks for the update, looks very promising -- will get back to you!

Respond to tinkthank
 

The reason why the druids gets +2 research bonus is that was very hard to do research with FOL it also fit into the theme. The Druids is wise and knowledgeable http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

I'll look into if it's possible to move FOL to another nation.

Re: Respond to tinkthank
 

Version 9.2 is also on my web site!

thank you Thilock_Dominus

Re: Respond to tinkthank
 

Tinkthank, I think I can move it to Pythium.

Re: DOWNLOAD THE NEW VERSION OF F.O.L. HERE
 

As a friendly suggestion, you should copy the contents of your post #335459 into a "history.txt" or "readme.txt" to be included in the actual zipfile. This will help those that download your mod from my site and Liga's site who might not be reading this thread.

Ok, will do.
