Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

Thanks :]

Check out vaettihiem and Avernum if you have time. They'll get new versions fairly soon (minor update to vaetti, national summons for Avernum).

Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

I'm bumping this because I'm going to update it to the latest version tomorrow. There will also be updates to the CBM nations I made.

Biggest change will be that the nation will no longer overwrite Ulm Black Forest. Instead it will be titled 'New Ulm' and act seperately. It will include various fixes and maybe a new sternheld national hero.

Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

This is just a symantics issue, so feel free to ignore me. I kinda' like the mod staying named Ulm Reborn. It would fit thematically, with the original Ulm having fallen to the dark side. Your nation can be the remnants that got out before the fall and began rebuilding anew. Like the Numenorians in the Silmarillion. I'm such a nerd. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

Yeah thematically it's still being a replacement. I mean playing with Ulm Reborn and Ulm at the same time doesn't make much sense 'story wise'. But in terms of gameplay and compatbility with other mods and for playtesting purposes it's much better to have it as a seperate nation. You avoid having the national summons and spells from the old Ulm, for instance.

In the end, you still have the choice of using Ulm Reborn instead of Ulm. It's just not automatic.

Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

Oh, I understand they'll both be playable. I just like Ulm Reborn instead of New Ulm. Like I said, it's just symantics. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

Semantics, yar. Well they'll actually be called 'New Ulm, Iron Faith Reborn' in much the same way the Jomon Broken is called 'New Jomon, Broken Swords'.

Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

Ahh...best of both worlds. Let's totally ignore the last three posts. *Walks away non-chalantly whistling*

Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

Heh. Well don't ignore this post, because it's telling you that the new version 0.8 is attached (or will be in 3 minutes or so).

It includes balancing changes, graphical tidying up of a couple of units (notably the geboren) and a new national summon, the Sturmheld, who is A3F2. The Sternheld is now A2S2. The Sturmheld is also a multihero, giving you a little bit more variety.

And most importantly the nation is no longer a replacement, but stands on its own. That means you'll have to make new games to play it.

Re: New Nation: Ulm Reborn
 

God damnit.

I somehow managed to lose the pikemen in this new version. Or maybe I forgot to ever make them recruitable? Regardless, version 0.85 is attached and sorts this out. It also temporarily gets rid of 'reward the faithful' because it wasn't working properly and my white priests keep spamming it instead of casting blade wind and smite. Pretty annoying.

So yeah, attached to the first post is 0.85. Don't bother getting it if you don't care about missing pikemen and a dodgy healing spell staying in ;]

Re: LA Nation: Ulm Reborn - UPDATE v.085
 

AARGH.

I messed up the 0.85 update. Anyone who downloaded it should get the 0.86 attached to first post instead. Otherwise they'll still have the cruddy healing spell and furthermore the pike graphic will be messed up.

Sorry guys. Anyway, it's fixed now.
