Heh. I wish. A French keyboard? In my dreams. As it stands, I have to memorize obscure keystroke combos (like Alt-133) on my Yankee keyboard, if'ins I don't wanna to be constently calling up the system character map...

Oh, in this case you really deserves my respects ! First time I ever see a yank not only perfectly writing French with all our "accents", but also typing with those Alt-combos no French ever succeeded in memorizing !

Kudos Sir !

Yes, well, thanks; it's nice to think I can write well in at least one language. Ye gods! I thought I'd been bad when I noticed that I'd used "indeed" in two sentences running in my first post in this thread, but man! You'd not know I'm an anglophone from looking at that Last post. "Wanna to be"?

Eh, I'm American, so I'll indulge in my cultural entitlement to blame this stellar witlessness on my blond hair...

(That, or my charming habit of revising what I'm writing halfway through, but only changing a portion of a given phrase...)

Increase the cost of magic picks or increase the overall cost?
Hmmm... I actualy did remember to put in the side note that i'm unsure about the cost...

And for mod-dudez: I'm not a total hypocrite, if IW doesn't put this in to the game, i'm not modding this. And why the hell is it bad idea for players to submit ideas???

Player ideas can be good, that is true, but I dont think that a pretender will help to Illwinter in anything.

he can add him as a non recruitable monster if he wants, as dom allows to create new units already. And then he will do a map to play with...

each time somebody makes a map, then he adds features what he likes, and force you to play with. I dont quite understand you. Except for completely randomized maps, you are playing with what the mapmaker wanted you to play.

I think that sometimes its hellish hard to understand, what Nerfix is trying to tell on these Boards...
Just check out the modding thread for example, but there are lot of examples about his 'unique' thoughts...

1337 is an insult to me. I insulted myself. I thougth that out of |-|4x0r community 1337 is an insult. That's the way i use it. As an insult.

I was talking about the nations....
*sigh*
Do you realy want to play a map with 8 or even more unplayable nations? Or then you are forced to play with some hard-coded preset Pretenders. I don't want to force players with the preset Pretenders i gave. That's the reason i want ability to make preset but not hard-coded pretenders.

And answer me, would increasing the cost of new magic picks to 40 help Ancient Lord at all?

I think the issue with the Ancient Lord at the moment is he comes with 2 nature/2 death. It would cost 40+ points to get this magic on an archmage and the Ancient Lord is only costing 75 total and has good physical strength and wonderful equipping possibilities as well as getting new paths for only 30. I'd say either less magic or more cost certainly... I think most physically decent pretenders with that much magic cost at least 100. I'm no expert though.

And IMO, out of |-|4x0r community 1337 is just pretty annoying. In fact it's annoying anyway.

Plus you gotta talk so those old folks can understand...or else I'll start criticizing your English.

And then you can start critcizing the fact I speak nothing except English.
