    Modders Guide to FfH2

    It's not in vanilla FfH II, that's for sure. It's been a while since I've played Orbis, but I don't remember the Flying promotion havign a graphical effect associated with it. Don't know how you'd get the effect you'd want either.

    Modding maps with a text editor

    Can Goody Huts be randomized on a already generated map? I thought by using "Randomize Resources=true" that both resources and Goody Huts would be randomized. However, while the resources are randomized, the goody huts are in the original locations.

    Quick Way to Clear map?

    Thanks for the reply. What is advanced Worldbuilder? Is it something one can download? Edit 1: Never mind, I found it. Am downloading now. http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=21024 @TopSecret: Sure, it's easy to add stuff, but I want a quick way to get a blank...

    Quick Way to Clear map?

    IIRC, in Alpha Centauri, you could generate a map, then use a command in the map editor to blank the map to just ocean. Is there one in the Civ IV map editor? Or will I just have to erase everything manually?

    Unit requests thread

    For the above, Japanese sohei, or warrior monks. Google image search for sohei For graphic diversity mods, I always thought that a sohei with their traditional naginata (a polearm similar to the European glaive) would make a fine 'counts as" for the generic Axeman.

    The future of Fall from Heaven

    Until Mulcarn (the god of not getting on with your life) reincarnates through Auric Ulvin and puts everything back into stasis. And you are helping him, Tasunke! So when we can't play FFH2 any more it will be all your fault! :p Agreed.

    Changing status of Scotland Yard

    Thanks for the reply. Compared the two files (BtS and GOO) and see what you mean. I'll make the change later, and edit the Building Info file as well (When SY is a National Wonder, it gives +2 Great Spy points, but not when it is a building.) Thanks again!

    Changing status of Scotland Yard

    Recently, I started playing Gods of Old again and I noticed that Scotland Yard in GOO is still a National Wonder and not just a building as per straight BtS. So I opened the XML (BuildingInfos) for both the base BtS and GOO trying to find how Scotland Yard could be changed from National Wonder...

    The future of Fall from Heaven

    Kael has commitments to Stardock now. It's unlikely that he has time for side projects like FfH.

    Do you ever play strange map types?

    Yes. I like Tectonics-Inland Sea as it gets better results than the regular Inland Sea (looks more like the Mediterraean). It can be hard to play with all the Plains though. When play-testing a modded civilization or new leaderhead AI, I'll use Hub generated with Full of Resources. It...

    Do you have your own rules ?

    Usually, I agree with you about the blue clouds, but in FfH or any other fantasy mod, having a glowing blue aura makes it seem more magical. But that's a matter of taste. Don't really have rules, as I'm not that skilled a player. Since I am playing to enjoy myself, I do weight things in...

    Games like CIV?

    What aspect(s) of Civ are you looking for? The building part, exploration and colonization, or the conquering? BTW, I'm kinda considering Anno 2070: what part or parts disappointed you about the game?
