Like Grey Fox said in the balance issues thread, it doesn't have to be Kael to start this.

discuss cosmetic issues in 0.32

I'll start off with: Shouldn't the Scales constellation be sacred to Junil instead of Dagda? After all, the scales represents law and justice, right?

Scales = Balance/Measurement. Dagda = Force/Balance. It fits.

They also represent balance, which is what Dagda is the Archangel of.

edit: gah, sniped by xienwolf

I thought I'd just mention that Volcanoes (from events) don't look good on Grasslands at all.

I don't know whether the spelling is intentional, but the Obsidion in Obsidion Sceptre should be Obsidian rather than Obsidion.

I really don't normally nitpick over spelling, but just thought I'd bring it up anyway.

At the end of the Auric Ulvin 'pedia entry under 'Heroes' we get text...[PARAGRAPH]...text.

No pedia entry for Decius.

I know that one is definetly intentional, Kael has some surprises in store for us involving Decius because he said that we will know more about him in Ice.

In my Civilopedia, the icon for Enervated is a pink square - no longer the green skull as in 0.31. Not sure about in game yet.

Yep, its in game aswell.

Code:

I don't see what is wrong with the Mushrooms event in the Python portion, but you should put the same "cannot happen on a Peak" check as you put on the Penguins I imagine.
The Signs of various Gods events ought to have more Text Notification for the Players. Unless it is meant to be mysterious (and thus trigger Bug Reports... Hey, I found an Event Chain that actually works! ;))
I don't see a CanDoVolcano. Is it blocked from taking out Unique Features? Probably also ought to have it clear the Improvements on the tile, unless setting the feature already does that.
Why no making a Battering Ram out of an Ancient Forest or Jungle?
City Fire ought to exclude buildings with a Conquest Probability of 0 as well as those with 100. This would block Dwarven Vaults, Demonic Citizens... Probably quite a few others which ought not to be burnt.
Shouldn't the Art Define for DARK_ELF be removed now that you have created an Art Define for Svartalfar? Seems we can get rid of the redundant second Elven promotion.
Are Minor Leaders blocked from the Switch Civilizations event? Or does that mean you can actually wind up playing as Koun? (and what happens with Team assignments when you switch Leaders anyway?)
Auric Ulvin is Conscriptable. Also worth normal XP instead of 4x Value like most World Units
Battering Rams provide Military Happiness, and can Pillage. Only the second one seems like it might be intentional
Brigit is listed with a Min Level of 9, which makes no sense at all. Nothing can upgrade to her. Also is only worth normal XP instead of 4x like other World Units
Held Brigit also has a Min Level, and can Pillage, and has a Unit AI, though she cannot move. She probably ought not to be worth any XP either, since it is a free win
Centaur Guard was not listed as a replacement for the War Chariot under the Kuriotates Civilization Infos
Numerous UUs are not listed to upgrade within Civilization only, and some units that do not upgrade at all are listed to only upgrade within Civilization. Was it intended for every UU to stay within Civ?



Personal Comments:

Love how the Ira look to be implemented. Question though: Is the cap 32 :strength: or does that wierd +4 still apply and it is actually 36?
Personally I would advise that you set the Wraith AI to be Attack Lemming or something equally Brutal when spawned by Call of the Grave...
Thanks for moving the Requirements for Drown (spell) to the XML :)
Really wish that you used the Array setup for Kidnap so that you could have an even chance of ANY specialist in the city, instead of being forced to only get Prophets if NOTHING else is settled :(
In addition to blocking Hell Terrain from hitting Cities, could you block it from hitting Obsidian Plains? Then we can actually see all the Hell Terrain, and get our Floodplains back someday.
Just for people who remove it by WorldBuilder, and future possible need: Could you have the removal of the Ring of Carcer reset the MinLevel of the plot?
I like how you boosted the Score for the Infernals & Mercurians. Such an obvious approach, just never thought of it.

When playing OCC with a leader with the sprawling trait (Cardith), every time you capture a city the popup to select settlement or city needlessly pops up.
Is it possible to suppress the popup message in that case?

I tried to mod it out myself, but I could not find how (I'm afraid it is compiled into the dll).

For those that haven't noticed yet, its not a problem but Stephanos has a new, suitably monstrous picture in his 'pedia entry.

That is because the old pic used for Stephanos has been moved to the death pop-up of Minister Koun.

Graphic problem : The svartalfar adept shows as a pink blob.

Very minor: constellations should come to prominence, not prominance.

The malakim champions have nice pink scabbards for their swords :)

if you say .< or a .< in any order in the chat window in multiplayer (haven't tried singleplayer but that doesn't really matter) then at the end of your message it displays in the main window </color

Known issue, Sezereth accidentally deleted the relevant file. :lol:

I played my first 0.32 game without any background songs at all. It was empty for the whole game. Playing as Kuriotates/RoK.

found issue with some promotion icon - screenshot added:

That's Enervated that's missing its icon. Known issue, I believe.

As for constellations... shouldn't they trigger at once for all players and have some effect on all players (depending on players' reactions)? After all, it's not as if the constellation would come to prominence for one nation but not for the nation right next door. Also, since the event displays for all players referring to 'your' whatevers, either it should be made a global event or the text that displays should be changed/removed.

Had multiple missing song alerts also, though i don't remember which ones:(

Others have already pointed out some of the typos in the text. Maybe a spell-check before the next patch?

All issues up to this poitn have been addressed, thanks guys.

Non-Kuriotate towns permanently show "60 turns to Enclave".

TXT_KEY_EVENT_METEOR - It continues ot to burn even days after its descent

Fix a fix :)

Review of the unpatched 032 SDK:

//FfH Improvements: Added by Kael 05/12/2007
bool CvImprovementInfo::readPass3()
{
if (m_aszExtraXMLforPass3.size() < 1)
{
FAssert(false);
return false;
}

m_iPrereqCivilization = GC.getInfoTypeForString(m_aszExtraXML2forPass3[0]);
m_aszExtraXML2forPass3.clear();
m_iSpawnUnitType = GC.getInfoTypeForString(m_aszExtraXMLforPass3[0]);
m_aszExtraXMLforPass3.clear();

return true;
}

Should there also be a check for m_aszExtraXML2forPass3 > 0?

//FfH: Added by Kael 04/11/2008
bool bChange;
if (iChange > 0)
{
bChange = true;
}
if (iChange < 0)
{
bChange = false;
}
if (GC.getBuildingInfo(eBuilding).isHideUnits())
{
setHideUnits(bChange);
}
if (GC.getBuildingInfo(eBuilding).isSeeInvisible())
{
setSeeInvisible(bChange);
}
//FfH: End Add

This isn't good. It will only work for as long as there is a single building with each of the attributes. Were there 2 buildings which provided the SeeInvisible, then I lost one of them, according to thise I would lose the ability, even though I still have 1 building which allows me to See Invisible...

Instead, you should add a function "countSeeInvisible" and a variable m_iSeeInvisible. Then you have iChange affect m_iSeeInvisible, and the function CvPlayer.getSeeInvisible() would check for m_iSeeInvisible > 0 (do you have ANY buildings which allow you the ability). (for an example of how I mean to set it up you can look at the Boolean Functions in CvPromotionInfo, almost all of them do it that way)

Perhaps with the Meteor spell gone entirely, the unit summoned by a dragon's Breathe Fire ability might get a rename to "Dragon's Breath" or something? I feel mean getting poor Eurabatres to vomit space rocks every turn.

Perhaps with the Meteor spell gone entirely, the unit summoned by a dragon's Breathe Fire ability might get a rename to "Dragon's Breath" or something? I feel mean getting poor Eurabatres to vomit space rocks every turn.

I personally think it would make much more sense for the Dragons' "Breathe Fire" spell to work like Pillar of Fire instead of summoning a unit like a fireball or meteor.

I also think that the Spell should be renamed Dragon's Breath, and that when Drifa casts it she should do Cold damage instead of Fire.

Not a big deal since I know what it's supposed to say, but when I mouseover the icon to build horsemen, it says I don't have Nightmare instead of Stable. I do have horses, which is the other half of the 'OR' with Nightmare. The building req shows properly for Catapult req'ing a Siege Workshop.

In the text file, under <Tag>AI_DIPLO_ACCEPT_LEADER_DECIUS</Tag>, "benifited" should read "benefited".

2 032a:

Missing the Text Key: TXT_KEY_PLOT_WORK_TO_UPGRADE_PREREQ_CIV (It is in the XML, but titled TXT_KEY_IMPROVEMENT_EVOLVES_PREREQ_CIV)

Minister Koun doesn't have a Defeat Message pop-up

This is going to seem pedantic to some, but I find it important:

Text in-game would look better with one space after periods between sentences, not two. Even this message board here strips out double-spaces and replaces them with a single space. Some of the messages look really awkward. I know most people learned it that way, but it's really a holdover from the typewriter days and isn't suitable for modern typography.

Yes, some tradition need to go, and others shouldn't even have become traditions in the first place. I removed the extra spaces when I made the Lore Compendium.

When I edit documents for the U.S. Navy, they demand that there be two spaces after a period. I think it's just so they can demand something.

To go with the new Civilization Upgrade tag on things like the Centaurs, the Civilopedia should be customized to only display the Unique Version that they upgrade to, rather than the standard generic Unit (Since that is actually an impossible upgrade now)

for Adventure Mode i think it might be better to not make the units bigger (if anything id recommend making them smaller so they seem more to scale compared to improvements and buildings) unless im missing the point of this mode, in which case itd be cool to have a mode that tries to put things more to scale in the manner i described

also, i noticed in the dungeon adventure mod video that its possible to make it so you can rotate using ctrl-arrows thing more than just the 45 degrees +/-, like all the way around even, any chance of getting that in FfH?

Probably ought to put the Level Requirement for a plot in red so it stands out like most other requirements in the game.

The icon for Command IV has the roman numeral III instead.

It's not written that Meshabber of Dis needs 70 AC (or im blind :) )

Jade Torc (from the Adventure event) is missing its icon in the bubble that comes up on the unit when the event occurs. It just shows a pink circle.

Could we please get a turn indicator that shows up in the places the YEAR is normally shown. As it is, you can't do things like compare finish dates on games via the hall of fame, etc etc.

Hippodrome is claimed as being buildable with Trade on the tech tree, despite that you require War Horses.. theres no need for the secondary requirement of Trade for Hippodromes since it only causes confusion and you need Trade for War Horses tech anyways

The Civilopedia is set to display the Units Enabled by a Building by the Base UnitClass Unit. This winds up not covering things nearly as well as if it were set to do the display by the specific Units (for example: Kuriotates Horseman/HorseArcher/HorseEverything do not require Stables or anything else. Clan of Embers Horse Archer requires the Training Yard, not the Stable)

Raging Seas' damage bubbles show fire damage. Scared the heck out of me when I saw the 'Unit has been damaged by Cold damage' in the events list and saw fire damage bubbles everywhere, thought I'd just been hit by both Raging Seas and Worldbreak in one turn.

For the Agares constellation event (the serpent), shouldn't the first choice say King of Despair? I know Agares was the angel of hope before he rebelled, but IMO the blurb for the choice just fits more thematically and makes more sense if it said King of Despair instead of King of Hope.

After all, would blood rituals make sense for a god of hope or a god of despair?

It's just that thematically, it works better if it says king of despair.

Well, you have to hope that the blood rituals will stop him from killing you. :p ;)

It could still be an honorary title used by his followers.

I fail to see how blood sacrifices are incompatible with hope. ;) If anything, the overall effect is even better (not unlike Tzeentch being the embodiment of hope in the Warhammer universe).

At long last, the spread Guild of Hammer event does happens for the first time for me. In the event description, it said something about "...production will be increased...". Isn't that misleading? Considered that the fact the Guild Of Hammer have nothing to do with increased production, but offers half price unit upgrade instead. Stupid me actually went to count the hammer in that city when it happened. And the same stupid me just realized that I have never used the Guild Of Hammer the correct way all this while.:blush:

Anyway, should the description be changed?

I guess if you were the Aztecs it would make sense, what with thier sacrifices of blood and all. Not in the same evil sense as the AV sort, but I think you guys know what I mean.

I think the promotion "Undead Slaying I" should drop the "I", since there is only one Undead Slaying promotion. Unless I'm missing something.

And other general useless typo notes:
1. I was wondering about the "Demons' Altar", if it's meant to be possessive, the apostrophe should be before the s. If it's meant to be a plural, it doesn't need the apostrophe.

2. The "Machinists Shop" had me wondering too. I can see how it could be plural, but I think it's meant to be possessive "machinist's".

3. Same for "Smugglers Port". I can understand it going either way, it is a port for many smugglers, it's a port belonging to smugglers.

4. At least one of these I know has been mentioned: "Drop Dragons Horde" better "Drop Dragon's Hoard"; "Drop Sylivens Perfect Lyre" better "Drop Syliven's Perfect Lyre".

5. All of the "Aerons Bounty" references seem to be in need of apostrophes as well.

Just minor useless stuff that I doubt anyone cares much about.

I would guess that 1-3 are meant to be plural possessives, in which case the apostrophe should follow the "s": "Demons' Altar," "Machinists' Shop," and "Smugglers' Port." The Altar, Shop, and Port are presumably for more than one demon, machinist, and smuggler, respectively, no?

You're right about 4 and 5, it looks like.

Yeah, stupid me on 1-3, though "Machinists" and "Smugglers" still need an update either way. It doesn't matter I guess. Thanks for correcting me though.

This is a strange glitch:

I found some typos in the game text file: :)

TXT_KEY_EVENT_CIRCLE_OF_GAELAN_2
occurances -> occurrences

TXT_KEY_EVENT_METEOR
decent -> descent

TXT_KEY_EVENT_SIGN_DANALIN_1
oblivio -> oblivion

TXT_KEY_EVENT_SIGN_KILMORPH_1

TXT_KEY_UNIT_DRIFA_PEDIA
Mularn's -> Mulcarn's

Pedia Entry for Arturus is in pretty bad form, depending on which literary convention you follow. I'm accustomed to speech starting a new paragraph, or having a paragraph to itself if the rest of the content doesn't deal directly with the one who is doing the speaking. (Like is done during the exchange between Kandros and Arturus). Also a lot of proper nouns aren't captilalized at all, but that is a rampant problem throughout the pedia already.

Only typo that I found really though was "Amidst cheering, the captain the captain the guard" should be "Amidst cheering, the captain the captain of the guard", and "the captain of the honor guard, and an old friend"

I don't know if it causes any issues with the game itself, but it plays merry heck with the color scheme in WinMerge that at the end of the German text for TXT_KEY_LEADER_KEELYN_PEDIA there is an unclosed Parenthesis.

TXT_KEY_TECH_WARHORSES_PEDIA & TXT_KEY_TECH_CURRENCY_PEDIA had the German and French Translations overwritten with English (either unchanged or marginally changed). While TXT_KEY_TECH_TAXATION_QUOTE had the english changed, but not the French or German.

TXT_KEY_TECH_NEVER_QUOTE "A god who may be willing to accept you back in his ara arms"



Interesting to see Firearms made a more integrated portion of the world of Erebus.

What is the oblivio supposed to mean in "and let the wine and oblivio flow freely." for the silver tears constellation event?

I'm pretty sure that it's a typo, but not sure what it's a typo of.

It could mean Oblivion, as in "damn drunk," or it could be the name of a specific drink in FfH which has just never been mentioned before. It sounds like a standard mixed drink name to me at least.

I did think of the word obliviion, but it doesn't quite fit with the whole festivities thing that choice is about.

Oblivio is the Latin verb "I forget," or noun "forgetfulness." The n is found in the oblique cases, but not the nominative (pretty standard for Anglicizations of third declension Latin words ending in -o, -onis)

Do you just not remember what you were planning to say?

It probably is a typon

yea but the definition of oblivion is basically destruction, or doom. I didn't know oblivio was latin though.

yea but the definition of oblivion is basically destruction, or doom. I didn't know oblivio was latin though.

This is nitpicky, but that's not the definition of it, just an inference. Just as Apocalypse means unveiling, as in judgment. They're just words that have come to mean the end of the world.

"Amidst cheering, the captain the captain of the guard"

You mean, "Amidst cheering, the captain the captain of the guard"

Is anyone else thrown when they see a Dwarven Adept next to Dwarven Axemen? It's like attack of the five-foot dwarf. Soldiers of Kilmorph also look tiny compared to him. Does it have to do with the multiple meshes, compared to the Adept's one? The Adept art is great, so maybe the others could be a little bigger?

It could mean Oblivion, as in "damn drunk," or it could be the name of a specific drink in FfH which has just never been mentioned before. It sounds like a standard mixed drink name to me at least.

It is a reference to an FfH drink, and as MC said it comes from the latin roots. Its not a typo.

Yeah, but they are. Default Race is applied to all non-world units you get that don't already have a race. The Dwarves get Dwarven on all their mercs, the elves get elven, the the orcs get orkish, ect. It is also true that slaves without a race (i.e., the normal, human variety) will get one. No civ with a default race can get a "raceless" worker or mercenary. You might want to take a second look at how racial promotions are given

Yeah, that's sort of what I was trying to point out, except I haven't seen it with orcs or elves because I rarely play them. It's not too weird or jarring on the mercenaries (it even makes some sense) but on other things it is a little peculiar.

The event where a politically arranged marriage collapses over feuding about which religion the wedding was to be done in has odd responses. You can choose to send a small gift, send a large gift and congratulations, or throw a national celebration in honor of the newlyweds.

...For the proposed marriage that COLLAPSED. "Hoooray, they're not getting married! Let's celebrate! Send them gifts in honor of them not going through with it!"

I have to admit, it gave me a bit of a laugh. I'm guessing that the options were taken from the other event where the wedding actually occurs (I think it's if you have the same religion)

Meshabber & the Mithril Golem have their AC 70 reqirement in their popup on the Hero page, but not in their actual entries.

I I'm not mistaken, the last two are meant to be provocation towards the other side.

Quite correct, but the odd part is that you're throwing a gala for the "newlyweds," when the wedding didn't actually happen.

Captured champion for the Lanun has no graphic. Just a big red blob. Captured a few, one from Bannor and one from Ljosalfar, and both are the same.

Secondly, the hint "Inquisitors, late game priest upgrade, will convert 50% of defeated living units to ur side.", should be changed to Command. Inquisition no longer convert enemy units

With the undercouncil, you get a vote to decrease the cost of gambling houses. The change is advertised as -75% cost, but the actual decrease is only -50%.

I noticed that the verb "effect" continues to be used in place of "affect," e.g., "Won't effect," "Doesn't effect," "Only effects" instead of "Won't affect," "Doesn't affect," and "Only affects."

I know this one's a time-consuming correction, not a simple find-and-replace, so I went through the text and made the corrections everywhere I could find them. Kael, I'll try to PM you the file so you don't have to duplicate what I did.

Captured champion for the Lanun has no graphic. Just a big red blob. Captured a few, one from Bannor and one from Ljosalfar, and both are the same.

Ah I know the problem there. The old 'maceman' unit graphic for the Lanun was removed in 0.31, as with the Boarding Party there seemed to be no need to keep it. Since the changes to Command in 0.32 the AI uses the graphics of the capturing civ for any captured unit (which is very annoying when you upgrade a captured Lizardman). Therefore it's trying to display a unit that doesn't exist in the game's files anymore.

Graveyards still reference villagers for some results. I should have posted this right when it happened, because now I don't remember which result it was, but yeah.

Khazad Champions... image in bottom left is a dude with a sword, icon is a dwarf with horned helmet, actual graphic has people of indeterminate race with smooth, rounded helmets and mauls.

The bottom left image I understand is because there's one for all the civs. But it seems like the icon and the graphic should match... would it be too hard to just give the maul-wielders horned helmets? Seems silly to have three pictures for one unit and none of them agrees with either of the others.

They are a solid yellow here, with CD. 32d and Vista.

The color you see changes every time you look at the entry

hmm, for some reason the model in the pedia is taking the cultural border color of the civ that you are playing. I just looked at the pedia entry for them again and they are red, this time I'm playing the Calabim.

The last time I looked at it, I was playing the Balseraphs, which have a yellow border color.

So, I would guess that arcaner was playing the Amurites as I just checked a previous save of mine and I am seeing the penguins as pink for them.

It's really strange that the model in the pedia is taking on the color of the players civ. I've never seen that before. I understand the fire elemental and a few others not appearing in the pedia since they show as an effect in the game. Which the pedia doesn't show.

The importaint thing is that the penguins show normally in the game, so this is more of an oddity than anything.

Typically that means that there is a transparency issue. Sometimes if you set it JUST wrong, a transparency comes out as Team Color.

Actually I was playing Frodo. So the color on the penguins looked disturbingly close to the "No texture" color.

Frodo? That one of the dwarven civs or is that from a modmod?

No. the kurkuroniates, or how ever you spell it. You know the mega cities with the golden dragon hero. I know I've seen people in here refer to their leader as 'Frodo' before.

I guess he looks a bit like Frodo.

Fires. A single fire looks pretty cool, but on massive Burning Sands where there's one every square, they look like rows of Jube Jubes. Their image should look different if there are fires in surrounding tiles, possibly forming into one massive fire. Like how rivers/forests/hills/mountains work.

Treant can only be summoned on forested tile (and city). It would be nice to add the line "can only be summon on forested tile" to the tooltip and pedia.

Pedia Entry for marksmen in 32.d refers to saboters wich aren't in game anymore.

FoL entry lists archer of leaves as one of its units (no longer exists)

At what value of the Armageddon Counter should I be hearing "We are summoned!" (or whatever the pre-Horsemen sound clip is) every couple of turns? I ask because in my last game it hovered around 35 for several turns, fluctuating slightly due to a running war between Charadon and two other AI's and my own event choices that kept setting it back downward so my Tower of Mastery wouldn't get screwed up by hell terrain / general unpleasantness. I have trouble believing that hearing it over and over again is intended, and it's certainly quite irritating.

If you mean 'We hear the call', it's the sound of a Host of the Einherjar being summoned. I can't think of any AC-related events that trigger that sound, more likely it's due to the AI casting some spell. Horsemen don't show up until the 60s anyway. Oh and finally, hell terrain isn't really much of an issue unless you're AV or evil. It doesn't spread into neutral nations until either 50 or 75 AC (I forget which).

During the loading screen I got a hint about inquisitors, perhaps it should be changed to something about the command promotion?

Suggestion (not issue of sorts)

Is it possible to have their leaderhead images per leader (for good, neutral and evil alignments) and also their meeting speeches. i am annoyed when i see sabathiel with the halo and everything angelic telling me we should be quick because evils grasp ect ect ect when the Bannor are, at that point, followers of the AV!

Guardian of Pristinus Pass could go for a smaller image in the Civilopedia I think. Maybe about 80% of whatever it is at now.

Yep, that's the one.

Still quite irritating to hear it that often and I can't think who was bothering; perhaps Rhoanna was throwing them at Acheron.

Speaking of unit sounds, why the heck does it sound like the Lucichurip scouts (or just dwarven scouts in general) are saying loudly 'Oh, I'm so sorry!' as one of thier random blurbs? I'm hard of hearing and so I'm not sure if it's english or not. It's just kind of a wierd thing for an unit to say, even if it is random.

Some of the units are drop dead hilarious if you know the language. When I first heard a Lanun pirate say "I love television!"...

I know the 'pedia is low priority right now, but I'd like to suggest that the entries for Council of Esus and the Empyrean be revised a bit to be more like those for other religions. Specifically, it would be helpful if, like the other religion entries, they listed the units, buildings, etc. to which the religion grants you access. Thanks.

The Khazad battering ram can only be built in a forest. This should be mentioned in the info panel that appears when moving the mouse over the button.

I think (I'm not sure) that the unit sounds are just directly imported from actual Civ. So they're saying things units say in actual Civ4. But they don't use English, just other languages. For example, the Ljosalfar units speak in Arabic. Of course, being aware of some of the languages (Spanish, Arabic), I can tell that the Civ4 base translations are sometimes a little bit off, although not that far. (Maybe the Chinese and Japanese are really far off.)

You can tell what they're saying by playing as the English or Americans in Civ4 (or some civ for which you know the langauge). They all say the same things (or are intended to) in different languages. "Yes?" "Awaiting your orders." "As you command." etc.

The soundtrack counts as cosmetic, right? This is more of a suggestion than an issue, anyway.

Since Brigit-in-the-Ring-of-Carcer would appear to be based on Brunnhilde, you might consider adding one or two clips from Wagner's "Ring" to the soundtrack.

They are, for the most part. The only ones that aren't are the Dwarves and possibly the Infernals (I don't remember). IIRC, the Bannor speak Latin (which is rather fitting, given their highly militarized and organized society), and the Balseraphs speak French :lol:.

The Dwarves have their own (English) voiceset, but have a rather interesting accent. The only thing I can think of that sounds like "Oh I'm sorry" is "Hail to ye", with "Hail" pronounced as two distinct syllables.

Oh and also, the Chinese is pretty accurate as far as I can tell. It's a little bit literal for one or two phrases, but otherwise good.

Well it's one of the three or four random sounds that the scouts make. Also, the laugh that they do sounded initially like bwa ha ha ha, but then I decided it was more of a belly laugh.

I'll try listening harder to that particular random sound, but I think you're right on it.

I know it's a double post, but eh.

The Svartalfar Archmage still needs an unique model because the old illusionist art got moved to the Archmage one. I hope a model for the archmage is in the works for the Svartalfar anyways.

I guess the cosmetic thread is the best place for this. Could you change the text on the initial screen each time you publish a patch. It currently tells you the version in the top right hand corner (e.g. FfH 2 032) but it'd be handier from your perspective (bug-fixing) and the player's perspective ("Have I installed the latest patch?") if it also showed the current patch as well. Something like FfH 2 032e.

Shouldn't the Empyrean and Esus religions get a different icon? One that fits with the others. The others are pretty much symmetrical and can be inscribed in a circle, while the two new ones are a bit... blocky. Square.

I found this little doohickey which could work for Esus. It just needs the background removed. I don't know where it comes from.

Actually, some basic dwarf units (including scout, iirc) still use the german voices. Most of the units do use the dwarf voiceset, though.

I got an event about a conflict between the merchants in two of my cities, with options to please both by paying some money, or please one or the other. The second option in the event has [HAPPY_FACE] instead of the icon in the roll-over explanation.

using 0.32e

if you build the Syliven's Perfect Lyre world wonder, the "world wonder allowed" counter drops to zero. after you transport it to an other city and build it again the "world wonder allowed" drops below zero to -1, then -2, ... and so on.

When the Overcouncil "negotiates" (forces) peace between its members, the title still reads "U.N. peacekeeping succeeds!"

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but i think the latest dwarven cannon model looks weird. It just doesn't look like the huge demolishing harbinger of cannonballs it's supposed to be... I liked the old model better. :)

The pedia entry for the Wonder spell has a bunch of [paragraph] tags scattered through it.

Edit: I agree with you Brugarin, the barrel looks too small for a cannon. Unless they are using a completely different kind of ammo.

The Dwarven Cannon uses Hwacha animations, so it fires rockets.

The Manticore is missing from the Planar gate pedia info as is the hippodrome.

After I researched the tech that allows building the Guild of Hammers (construction? engineering?), I got the popup message telling me I now have the knowledge to build the Guild of Hammers.

But the message goes on to say "The Guild of Hammers can be built by ." This is obviously a holdover from regular BtS, where corporations can only be founded by a Great Person.

Bronze is stronger then iron
STEEL is stronger then Bronze

don't start that argument civ king, lol.

Mithril is stronger than both.

Still, it shouldn't be too hard for people (most likely the dwarves through experimenting) to learn how to create steel weapons from iron and later teach it to others or have it's secrets leaked. They had plenty of time during the Patrian empire. In Lucians entry, it said that people were relearning how to make steel from preserved texts and from groups that had preserved the knowledge of how to make it.

So, I would say that they ARE using steel in FFH2, just not at first.

"you razed one of our cities" also appears at civ A, if civ B razed the city of civ A and then you razed the city of civ B.

the shouldn't it be Steel weapons instead of Iron weapons?

@civ king
I had a thread on that a while back. Consensus seems to be, yeah, bronze is better than iron for a bit, until we learn to use iron really well and it starts to get better. Hence Smelting and all that. Unimportant, really.

The amurite archmage uses the dwarven soundset (0.32j).

EDIT: One other thing (not a text file problem) -- Council of Esus shows up in the "Info" screen under the foreign advisor next to leaders that have adopted CofE as their state religion. It also shows up in the diplomacy screen when you're negotiating with a leader. Unless something's been changed, CofE is supposed to be secret, right?

The infernals still need a good archmage model, the mage is probably okay, but the archmage hardly looks demonic.

The mage could use some tweaks for the Infernals, but otherwise looks okay.

"Endeavors" should read "Hammers"

No, "Hammers" should read "Endeavors." ;)

That is just a much cooler name. I'm changing all references to the Guild of Hammers back to the Guild of Endeavors in my version, and also changing Luridus to Illuminatus.

No, "Hammers" should read "Endeavors." ;)

That is just a much cooler name. I'm changing all references to the Guild of Hammers back to the Guild of Endeavors in my version, and also changing Luridus to Illuminatus.

I was actually considering offering some suggestions on some of the Latin names in the mod, including changing Luridus to something else (Illuminatus sounds right -- Kael, how about it?), but it's been a LONG time since I last took Latin, and I'd be working from a small pocket dictionary in any event.

Aren't the Illuminati (semi-pop culture source) all about secrecy and plots? Or are they an organization trying to expose all of the random conspiracies? (Never looked into the whole deal too much, just heard a lot of rants about it).

Illuminati simply means "Enlightened." It was first widely used to refer to the Bavarian Illuminati (Perfectibilists) secret society in the Enlightenment. People often accused this and other such societies of shadowy dealings and behind the scenes control of governments (anything that CoE would represent), although there is little concrete proof of anything of that nature.

The connection is usually that the Illuminati would consider themselves to possess superior enlightenment, and thus be fit to rule over everyone else. There is no reason why it couldn't refer to those who actually are Enlightened and and seek to enlighten the rest of the world though.

"Enlightened" certainly fits them better than "gruesome; horrible; revolting, glaringly vivid or sensational, shocking, terrible in intensity, fierce passion, or unrestraint, wildly or garishly red,wan, pallid, or ghastly in hue, livid," imho

Kael: Along the same lines as removing the block from letting a player promote to Blitz with units who have a base :move: of 1, the AI is currently only looking at base movement as well

CvUnitAI.cpp - int CvUnitAI::AI_promotionValue(PromotionTypes ePromotion)

if (GC.getPromotionInfo(ePromotion).isBlitz())
{
if ((AI_getUnitAIType() == UNITAI_RESERVE && baseMoves() > 1) ||
AI_getUnitAIType() == UNITAI_PARADROP)
{
iValue += 10;
}
else
{

//FfH: Modified by Kael 06/28/2008
// iValue += 2;
iValue += 3 * baseMoves();
//FfH: End Modify

}
}


In both cases where basemoves() is used, it should instead reference the unit's current Move score, plus any additional movement from the promotion which is offering Blitz (thus a promotion offering raw Blitz is not valued as much as a promotion offering Blitz AND +1 :move:)



Interesting find:

In CvUnit.cpp - int CvUnit::getExtraSpellMove()

{
int iCount = 0;
for (int iI = 0; iI < GC.getNumPromotionInfos(); iI++)
{
if (isHasPromotion((PromotionTypes)iI))
{
if (GC.getPromotionInfo((PromotionTypes)iI).getPromot ionSummonPerk() != NO_PROMOTION)
{
iCount += GC.getPromotionInfo((PromotionTypes)GC.getPromotio nInfo((PromotionTypes)iI).getPromotionSummonPerk() ).getMovesChange();
}
}
}
return iCount;
}


This function could easily be used to extend the range of any spell which has a Range value. At present it is only used in AI Logic to select which spell to cast, checking if a Summoned Unit would be capable or reaching a hostile target. But by adding "+ getExtraSpellMove()" to the range value of a spell, you would make it so that anything which grants a Summon Perk with a movement bonus will also provide a range extension of the same value. (in this case, Spell Extension I & II)




In CvUnit.cpp - CvUnit::doTurn(), under the Abandon actions

GET_TEAM(getTeam()).changeUnitClassCount(((UnitCla ssTypes)(m_pUnitInfo->getUnitClassType())), -1);
GET_PLAYER(getOwnerINLINE()).changeUnitClassCount( ((UnitClassTypes)(m_pUnitInfo->getUnitClassType())), -1);
GET_PLAYER(getOwnerINLINE()).changeExtraUnitCost(m _pUnitInfo->getExtraCost() * -1);


These 3 lines are already performed by "kill(this);" 3 lines earlier. So it would actually give the player & Team a Negative count for the number of that unit they have created (since it is subtracting 2 for each Abandonment)

EDIT: Also, a reminder that you need to add some Weight values for the new fields you made in PromotionInfos sometime. The iAIWeight was a fantastic idea for testing and tweaking initially, but since you are doing AI work now it is time to upgrade to SDK weighting so that it can be based on the Unit's AI selection instead of an across-the-board weight value. iAIWeight will continue to be useful for Spell effects though since the Promotion Values are taken into account for spells which cause/remove promotions.

While setting your own values, a lot of work needs done on the Firaxis values. Enhancements to Visibility and Movement bonuses are only available to certain AI types, and though the Vision range is of negligible use to the AI, the Mobility is quite useful and might need to be broadened a little bit. There are doubtless many more cases where their weighting choices don't work for FfH, but those are the 2 I looked at most recently.

I've started setting weight values for a few fields myself. I'll mention all of this again if I ever complete adding values for your fields and they seem balanced, just in case you'd like to start with my values and tweak to your desires from there :)

Illuminati simply means "Enlightened." It was first widely used to refer to the Bavarian Illuminati (Perfectibilists) secret society in the Enlightenment. People often accused this and other such societies of shadowy dealings and behind the scenes control of governments (anything that CoE would represent), although there is little concrete proof of anything of that nature.

"Enlightened" certainly fits them better than "gruesome; horrible; revolting, glaringly vivid or sensational, shocking, terrible in intensity, fierce passion, or unrestraint, wildly or garishly red,wan, pallid, or ghastly in hue, livid," imho

Since all the other priest units in the game have English rather than Latin names, perhaps these guys' name should be Anglicized to something like Illuminator or Enlightener.

Wonder casts 3-5 Spells randomly selected.


Needs to be 6-10 Spells if you have Twincast IMO.

I still say that all the spell's (well, maybe not those that kill the caster, change terrain, or only grant promotions, but definitely offensive spells) need to have their effects doubled with twincast. Also, each <bTwincast> promotion needs to have its effect stack (not necessarily doubling each time, but two twincasts should at lest triple the spell eect.)

The Victory screen doesn't aggregate the information for Basium and Basium's teammate.

In my latest game I was 20 turns away from completing the Tower of Mastery for my first-ever ToM victory -- or so I thought -- when a message popped up saying "Arendel Phaedra/Basium has won a cultural victory." I was surprised, because I had checked the victory screen before starting the ToM. I checked it after the announcement, and under Cultural victory it showed two Ljosalfar cities with legendary culture, and the third far below. I went back to the game and poked around and saw that the third city with legendary culture was Basium's capital. I understand that they're a team and that's how it's supposed to work, but it would be helpful if the Victory screen somehow reflected this info, if that can be done.

I'd mentioned this in the bug thread but, maybe it's better placed here.

From turn 1 you can adjust your :science: Slider. Whatever % is left over is placed as :gold:.

In FfH, there is no :culture: or :espionage: slider.

At some random Tech, the :gold: slider is revealed.


With only the Science and Gold sliders, the Gold slider is USELESS. Moving either one moves the other one as well. Please consider NOT revealing the Gold slider, ever.


EDIT: Just looked at the screenshot directly above this post. I am an idiot who needs to play the game more. He has a culture slider sitting right there. Not sure why I didn't get one when I had all the Techs, but that is my problem.

Move along folks, nothing to see here.

EDIT 2: Yeah, I am dumb AND blind. Gold slider never shows up, just Culture. Man I suck some days.

yea the micromanagement was reduced in Civ4 since they simplified the taxation thing by just having a culture and science slider and have the remaining be allocated automatically.

Wherever the Inspiration spell shows up, pedia and an arcane unit's GUI, it is written "a" Inspiration. I believe it should be "an" Inspiration.

I'm currently working on the translation of the new parts of the Fall from Heaven history and the additional informations they give are great. But one thing that bothers me is that the second half of the chapter about the Age of Dragons and the first half of the chapter about the Age of Magic is written in present tense although it should be past tense.
Moreover, these two chapters seem to be written by somebody who isn't a native speaker because sometimes there is no coherence between two consecutive paragraphs or sometimes even sentences.
The story jumps from one spot to another without any visible order in the mentioned parts.

Has anyone else noticed the decrease in quality there, too? :confused:

Will the pink scabbards on the Malakim champions be fixed at some point?

Or is that just their favourite colour?

Heh, quite frankly they shouldn't even HAVE scabbards. There's no way to efficiently sheath a sword shaped like that; the only thing you could do is make a ridiculously wide scabbard. Generally speaking only straight blades and evenly curved blades can be sheathed in a form-fitting scabbard.

Quick-release scabbards are designed to only wrap the blade at the point, the rest of the scabbard is open with a thin slit at the back (like a Taco shell, but with a cup at one end). They are perfect for a Scimitar, or any blade longer than your drawing arm.

Actually the player must have access to all 16 types of mana ^^

@TXT_KEY_UNIT_MAROS_PEDIA there is mentioned a "thrull" but I think a "thrall" is meant.

The riders of the Hippus and Doviello War Elephants are riding sideways, on the outside of their elephants. I think this problems been around for a few builds.

Amurite Archmages have the dwarf voiceset for some odd reason. Also, Dominated/Commanded adepts, when upgraded to Wizards, obviously get the Wizard art. The problem is, when they upgrade to archmages, they go back to their racial art, so the upgrade path looks wrong. Is it possible to take all the racial Mage artstyles and put them on the Wizard too, so that captured adepts stay their own art style?
