How does the LM terrain naming convention work in Conquests? - Specifically, I'd like to add LM Hills (that one looks easy enough), LM Mountains, and LM Forest - for this last, I'd like to separate the conifers into LM Terrain, which will help keep city placement more accurate on a real-world map. How would I go about performing that last one?

Thanks In Advance,

Oz

You add the name in the editor under terrain. I'm not sure I understand the last part. :confused:

Hi Yoda,

I want to differentiate coniferous and deciduous forests (pine trees from broadeaf) and have the pine forests provide shields but no food.

Also, the names used for the art files are cryptic, as in "lwCSO.pcx". Along with the tree-splitting, I need to get at LM Mountains and Hills. Is there a convention I need to use, or (as you say, in the editor) just add, e.g., LM_Desert?

Thanks,

Oz

If you want a "Pine Forest" as a specific terrain here is what you do.

Rename LMForest to Pine Forest.
Open the LMForets graphics and paste the Pine graphic over the old ones.
Voila.

If I remember rightly, wasn't there a problem with some LM terrains not being available from the editor?

Yes. However, there was a hack for that:

it allows the use of the landmark terrains of EVERY terrain.


In answer to Oz, you'll just need to edit LMForests and Forests so that LM forests has only pine forests, and Forests has only regular forests.

Thank you all :)

Well, while we're on the subject, does anyone know how to make Civilopedia entries for LMs? Is that possible?

Look in the editor, there is a civilopedia entry just below the name. ;)

I never managed to get even the normal LM civilopedia to show up

I don't think they work right.

I don't think you can add entries to terrain, only change the referenced ones...
