Lunacratera Beta (Works Now)
 

OK, it is working now.

Lunacratos attempts to lead his werewolf brethren to victory in the coming Ascension Wars.

This is an open beta, so post your opinions right here.

Special notes:
-DV doesn't exist so Roclies are blind
-AOE doesn't work for missles so Moonmitas and Moonmitos have many attacks each round
-the descriptions for the nation and Lunacratos are cut short, if you want to see the whole story you will have to check out the text document

I still can't seem to get it uploaded. I take the folder with all the tgas and then I take the dm document and I send them to a compressed (zipped) folder. Then I try to attach the zip and this comes up:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/forum/www/threads/uploads/519247-mods.rar): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/forum/public_html/threads/modifypost.php on line 449

What am I doing wrong? I should add that in this particular case I was trying rar but the results are the same.

Re: Lunacratera Beta
 

Nothing, the server is glitched. This happens sometimes. Wait a few hours and try again. I am having the same issue with my update to my Rohan mod, and I have had this issue before. It seems to work itself out.

The good news is, you can go play your Pangaea turn in our blitz game since your holding everyone up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Lunacratera Beta
 

I look forward to seeing that Shedu in battle.

The mod has now been successfully uploaded.

Re: Lunacratera Beta
 

What you have so far is a good start.

I played them using a earth9/nature9. This bless worked pretty good with the double axe werewolves. The protection from the earth bless was wasted I think, but the reinvigoration, regen and berserk turned them into killing machines.

I received two heroes during my first game with this nation. The werewolf with the white cloak and the R'lyeh spy. Both heroes were useful which is great.

The only national spell I was able to try before I won my game was the summon Moonmitos. Their magic attack was devastating, but never once did the stun effect work. I had about 50 of these guys I was toting around so I expected to see it work at least one time against massive armies.

It's pretty fun so far. The attack animations are a bit of a let down, I hope you add better ones as you work on this mod. Especially the double axe guy, it should not be difficult at all to create a wicked cool attack animation for him; just tilting the axe forward would go a long way to making him look cool when he fought.

I will play a larger map next time so I have a chance to test the nation specific evocations and the other construction spell.

Re: Lunacratera Beta
 

I assume you mean Moonmitas? They are the small ones. I may have to scale back their attack power a bit. I think you are confusing stun with paralyze. Stun just increases fatigue.

The Berserker and the Soldier will probably be the first ones to receive a more proper attack sprite.

As far as the heroes go, you got the two most interesting ones IMO.

I am also interested in what people think about the pricing of things.

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: Lunacratera Beta
 

Oh ok, then it is working fine. I did notice higher fatigue on the units that were being hit that survived the high damage of the attack.

I used the R'lyeh spy to jack up the unrest in a capital that was being sieged by a second enemy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

I didn't notice any insane prices on any of the units, but I was not really paying attention that game. Next game I will look them over and let you know what I think on pricing.

Re: Lunacratera Beta
 

The Pangaean spy is even better at the unrest game.

Re: Lunacratera Beta
 

A werewolf mod !!!
Let us chase down those worm eaten vampires !
Seriously it's a very good mod, very original gameplay. (small combat groups of elite werewolfs)
At last a defender of nature not crippled by maenads, or trying to imitate civilised factions.(just don't understand how to play cradle of gaea)

Re: Lunacratera Beta (Works Now)
 

Necroing this thread. This mod needs to be added to the mod list. If it is there and I overlooked it, I apologize.

Re: Lunacratera Beta (Works Now)
 

It's on the compatibility index, at least. :)

Re: Lunacratera Beta (Works Now)
 

It should probably be on the mod list (since that should ideally list every mod) but without being rude, it doesn't seem to be a particularly high quality mod. Maybe I'm shallow but looking at the graphics I just feel put off.

Re: Lunacratera Beta (Works Now)
 

The graphics aren't that bad. They are just terribly hard to see from way up there on your pedestal. jk ;).

Re: Lunacratera Beta (Works Now)
 

I agree they're functional. It isn't like they're just stick men or anything. But with so many tasty mods kicking around it's hard to feel motivated to try one without more immediate evidence of care and attention.

It could be that some mods with poor graphics are actually amazing, but it's the first indicator I look at anyway :]

Re: Lunacratera Beta (Works Now)
 

I think the deal with this mod is that it was made before the graphics were released. So he did some in game print screens and came up with his own animations. It was a rough road back then if you have 0 artistic talent.
