Dragonia II Mod

[Darque]

Isn't that part of implementing wonders?

 

[woodelf]

I made this for the WH mod, but it can be used here probably.

 

[Darque]

What building or wonder do you propose this would work for?

 

[woodelf]

What building or wonder do you propose this would work for?

From the Warhammer Online site it's a dwarven vault. I'll find a use for it eventually.

 

[woodelf]

Ploeper didn't think that this style of building fit the Dark Elves from WH, but does it fit anything in Dragonia II?

 

[Darque]

That building could be used for some wonder specific to the orcs and goblins.

 

[woodelf]

Fair enough. Dark stone and purple highlights or something different?

 

[Darque]

How about red tinted dark stone.

 

[woodelf]

So I can re-use the Lolth texture for some of it?

 

[Darque]

I think hextorian textures would work better

 

[woodelf]

OK. I'll dig those up after I finish the model.

 

[hexagonian]

Darque asked me to post these for some ideas for a couple of the buildings

 

[Darque]

Woodelf,
For the Crypt of Souls pic...can you add something like that bone pyre to the current Crypt of Souls building?

For the Temple of Brilliant Reflection, make it a large building similar to that.

 

[woodelf]

I'll let winddelay answer and tackle the first, but the second is a good pic to work from.

 

[Darque]

I need an opinion regarding alignment in the mod: How do you guys feel that alignment should affect attitudes?

My original thought is:
Good -> Good +2
Good -> Neutral -2
Good -> Evil -4

Neutral -> Any 0

Evil -> Good -4
Evil -> Neutral -2
Evil -> Evil 0

 

[woodelf]

Is -4 the max? I'd go max, but this scale is good.

 

[Darque]

I don't know what the max is, but I'm sure its fairly high.
If you feel the difference should be greater, I don't think it should be any greater than -10.

 

[woodelf]

I think the number needs to make it unlikely that good/evil ever become allied in any form. But this is something playtesting sorts out.

 

[Darque]

Even with a -4 it will be unlikely that an alliance between good and evil will form, unless the two nations have a common enemy. I fear that if the number is to great, then the chance of war between the two nations might increase too much. I'll playtest with a -8 and see how it works out. Let me know if you will want to playtest that as well, and I'll update the SVN sooner for you.

I did just have a thought. I think I will make the attitude value settable in the xml. That way, I don't have to recompile the dll every time I try a game balance change.

 

[woodelf]

I still have to put the SVN on my laptop and most likely have forgotten how and all of my pwords. Let me check into that later tonight or tomorrow.
