Patch 7.0 (unreleased)

Click to expand...

Psst - either you got that wrong, or we're getting a sneak peak!

Oooo, just in time for the weekend. Can't wait to download this when I get home from work!

EDIT: Oh no, just noticed "Last version". Really? /wails.

First thing of note:

House Kundarak is the only house to have a paedia entry.

Sephi you are the man. So when I dl this I just click "run" and it will overwrite the last version? I can jump right into my saved game no problems? I'm on turn 422 of my first FFH 2 game and I'm having a blast.

I imagine it will break saves, Slobbarian - it adds a lot. You might want to finish your game before installing this.

I wouldve thought so but is says "won't break saves". Last one for a while? Hope all's well Seph and thx for the hard work.

first bug:

Now that this is were the cool kids hang out, I will repost this from the 6.0thread:

I remember back in the old days of FFH2 were there were problems with too many new resources bumping some out (ie regents) so that they would not show up in game. With all the new ones - had/s this issue been fixed?

That's just the FFH base graphics module, not the patch.

Sephi, do you want help writing Pedia entries and translating into other languages? I'm hardly a native speaker, but I'd be able to do a decent job with the French and Spanish.

EDIT: At first I thought I wasn't finding them, however 2+ starts as the Amurites and I've been able to start fairly close to them. They do seem pretty rare.

Probably the last Wildmana version, atleast for a long time.

:/ Hoping you might reconsider this...

Anyways, thanks a lot for all the hard work, me and my friends have been enjoying WM a lot!

But, but, there will be patches, right?

A Kuriotate minor leader has the 'agricultural trait.' This trait states that new cities will start with size 2. This is not functioning. The additional food aspect of the trait is working fine though.

Worldwonder Engineering Academy added. Requires Engineering Tech. Gives Engineering Trait

Click to expand...

It does not give engineering trait.

pillar of chains does not remove civic anger penalty. My citizens still yearned for republic, produced 1

Played some of this last night, though didn't get to finish the game.

Looks massively improved- seriously. Probably some bugs to be ironed out, and the pedia needs work. A lot of the gameplay issues seem to be gone, or covered by options.

Gotta say that I love the direction this mod has taken post-merge. It took me a lot of new games to get the hang of the barbs, but the fact that the world is so damn dangerous now is something I won't be able to do without. Way to go Sephi. The world is just awesome

Enjoying the mod!-- Experience some pretty big bugs with the Engineering academy though.

Playing with the Khazad, I finished the engineering academy and the game pretty much went nuts. The next turn i lost about -$2Million gold pieces. I also had plus a huge amount (like +100,000%) production to national wonders. One city insta-built the bazaar of mammon in one turn; in another that huge modifier seems to have wrapped around to negative number and totally stalled production of the summer palace. Just to see what happened I press End Turn. My treasury did indeed bottom out at zero. However on the next turn I was about to earn something like +$15Million gold. I have screens and save games but not sure how to post em. Let me know if you want them.

I am pretty sure the Engr Academy caused some bugs in my previous game with the Kurios too, although i didn't document. The city I built it in got renamed to "TXT_CITYNAME_KURIOTATES1" or something like that. And i don't think i gained any trait.

Smaller bugs .. the civilopedia seems to have gotten messed up a little in version 7 -- i can't follow links to entries in the Units tab, or some of the others. I am pretty sure it was working better in v6.5.

p.s. Suggestion - it would be nice if the icons for Bison, Spices, Silver looked different from Cow, Reagents, Mithril. Even if they were just re-colorized a bit differently or something?

Bugs?!

1. Spells that cost money (ie Hiring Mercs) does not subtract the total from you budget. Another free units.

2. Hyborem dies upon summoning (if done by another civ)
