Default Re: Conceptual Balance Series - finally a new ver

You're welcome.

I'm pretty anal retentive about spelling errors, formatting and documentation, so what you're basically going to get is a completely reformatted version of the mods where it is visually much easier to find everything (separator lines, allcaps header lines etc) and where everything will use the same syntax. I already had complete readmes for most of the recent stuff, so this is basically just updating those.

I would also like it if we renamed the mod files a little bit, to be like "concept<insert modname>.dm", so it'll be easier to see which file you're dealing with. E.g. "conceptpretender.dm", "conceptspell.dm" etc. Right now it's "concept<alphabetsoup>.dm" and it's another thing that annoys the hell out of me.

The nation mod readme is going to take a file, so I'll post that separately, but everything else will be in the same package (mods, readmes, the graphics files etc).

The dwarf elder and the seraphs, I'll fix those. I would also like to see the Gryphon Rider (garnet amazon sacred unit) changed to be more like the black hunters of Machaka, i.e keep the original gold cost of 125 but make them stay as gryphons after the battle if the rider is killed. Otherwise even the cost reduction to 100 gold will make them too costly due to fragility because currently the gryphons disappear after battle (it's done with the #tmpsecondshape command instead of #secondshape). That's the only change I'm planning to the nation mod, and I think it might see the gryphon riders used a bit more.

By the way, the crystal amazons are not modified at all. Is this intentional?

Edi
