Doesn't seem to work for Jurla, still good aligned.

Here's how religion affects alignment:

RoK: Evil -> Neutral. Neutral and Good, no change.
OO: Good -> Neutral. Evil and Neutral, no change.
FoL: No change.
Empyrean & Order: Automatically Good, no matter your former alignment.
Ashen Veil: Automatically Evil, no matter your former alignment.

Can't remember about Esus, but I imagine it's the same as AV.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

better, but still wrong

Empy works like RoK, Esus used to be like OO but I think it doesn't affect alignment anymore since you never truly adopt it as your state religion.

 

[Doug Piranha]

RoK and Empyrean change evil to neutral; Esus and OO change good to neutral. Change occurs as soon as the religion is adopted.

Note to self: read next page before replying .

 

[Wayan]

So I want and am currently FoL. I want my alignment to be neutral though. So to get the desired effect, if I adopt OO, then later switch back to FoL will I remain neutral? Or would I go back to my previous alignment?

Yes. The only way to change neutral alignment to something else is adopting AV or Order.

 

[Seven05]

new versions of erebuscontinents mapscript included (made by Seven05)

Yay!

On a side note, any updates I make should just plug right into Wild Mana without any issues. If you find that you need to change something for compatability let me know and I can put it in the base mapscript so all you have to do in the future is drop in the latest version.

I have your Faerie civ included and all of the support I've added for RiFE is smart enough to detect when those features don't exist so it doesn't try to apply them. I can easily do the same for Wild Mana (or any other mod for that matter).

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

"major rework of Event probabilities! Many of the "once every 50 games" events are a lot more likely to happen (Amurite Trial, Calabim refugess, Margaland, Mary Morbus, etc.), affluent dukes, star signs, mushrooms and some other events are less likely to happen."

awesome! are you also going to change Acheron, Orthus and Zarcaz so that they work like that instead of always being in the game?

oh, and yay for the water critters coming back

 

[scutarii]

it is pretty logical to assume that new patch will break saves...or...?

 

[Sephi]

yes, will break saves

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

on the topic of events, some of them definitely need some tweaking.

the minister koun events for example should get a decreased chance to happen, they can bring some spice to the game if they happen every once in a while but right now they're way too common considering the big impact they have on the game.

some of the events need tweaks to make choices more meaningful. the harpy event for example, where there is no reason at all NOT to choose the great bard. another one is the one in which you can choose between nothing, supplies or a great engineer and the GE only costs a little bit more than the supplies, so there's no reason not to choose him. I'm sure you can think of others that need tweaking, these are just the ones I remember right now

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

oh, and aren't you nerfing guardian of nature TOO much? O.o

 

[scutarii]

oh, and aren't you nerfing guardian of nature TOO much? O.o

agreed. lets's try 0.5 per forest/jungle first.

 

[TowerWizard]

Gekko: Why would you want your capitol to suffer 15 turns of riot for one lousy worthless bard? Sure, if it is in some remote fishing village, sure, but there IS OFTEN reason to kill the bard with every sword within reach.

Oh, and if you have 74 gold when the event comes around, then the supplies will have to suffice.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

your capitol will never ever suffer 15 turns of riot. you will use the great bard to culture bomb, which gets rid of all the revolt turns. so it's actually a free culture bomb.

if we're going to nerf GoN, maybe we should also nerf StW the way FF did ( population costs 1.5, not 1 ) , since they are roughly equally uber.

 

[Seven05]

Actually, the perfect exploit is to have one of the early disciple units, whatever they're called, like the Thane. Their little 20pt mini culture bomb has the same effect, ends revolts immediately. That way you can save the free bard for the FoL shrine unless you really, really want tha 4k culture.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

that's actually another nice solution

that lil' exploit allows to pacify freshly conquered cities immediately too.

 

[Seven05]

Yep... well, those that you don't burn to the ground anyway

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

Guardian of nature will become pretty useless to non-elves with the nerf, and FoL is already very much geared towards Elves. IMHO a cap on the amount of happiness that it gives would be better, that way it's balanced for everyone since the Elves no longer get a crazy amount of happiness from it.
