(If you could specify an existing sprite for a new unit, based on a the sprite used by a current unit number rather than a tga file, that would be really nice!

**********************

Spells:

#numeffects or
(to change the number of effects, like "5" for Summon Imps and "20+" for Crossbreeding, or the number of darts for Nether Darts)

#aoe or
(area of effect)

#summonunit
(so that you can change "Summon Imps" to "Summon Gimps" without removing imps from the game)

#gemcost
#fatiguecost

#combat
(makes this a combat spell)

#castUnderwaterOnly
#castLandOnly
#targetFriendlyProvinceOnly

**********************

Dominion:

#defaultgrowth

Additional Dominion features that would be nice:

#magiccost

#luckRareness (default: 0)
Effect of luck scale on "#eventisrare". #eventisrare has a default of 15. if you set #luckRareness 5, then the percentage of rare events would be like this:

code:

---

#eventisrare 15

#luckRareness 5



luck scale:   3   2   1   0  -1  -2  -3

eventisrare: 30  25  20  15  20  25  30

---

**********************

Nations:

#clearpretenders
#addpretender
#clearthemes
#addtheme
#clearheroes
#addhero


Themes:

#themename
(all the rest would be like nation modding)

#spellbonus {spellname} {bonus units or damage per casting}

Would make it possible to create animist/vinemen style combinations as well as creating specialist casters who focus on one particular battlespell. Could give rarely summoned units and spells the boost they need.

Forgot the #missile {weapon nbr} to give new missile weapons the "in flight" animation of the specified weapon. As far as I know you get no animation at all as it is. Would be really great if one also could add {spell name} to get the animation of a spelleffect.

[Unwise]

Being able to reference #armor by number instead of just by name would be nice.

As usual, What Saber Cherry said.

#addpretender for nations, and #ambidextrous are the two most annoying I have come across.

I want to add pretenders, not replace. Many of em, I want to add to one nation only.

Hi,

Thanks for asking us. I echo what others have said here regarding monsters and pretenders.

I'm not sure this falls into this Category, but when I've modded some monsters (I piggybacked my changes off of the Healing Gods mod) to regenerate, they don't show the ability in game.

Specifically the various Krakens. My other mods seem to work correctly and the spelling matches other pretenders I HAVE given regenerate to.


Vaya con carnage,
V'ger gone
