Featurelist

[Berenthor]

Those are good ideas. I agree about Ungolianth. I will make a new thread called Civ list to make this more accessible. I will then keep updating that first post with the latest developments, that should help keep track of it. I now updated this list with your suggestions

I think we might want to keep an eye on this. It soulds like something that would be an amazing addition to this mod.

The idea is to add images to the Events that happen within the game. That would super amazing in my mind.

 

[T_F]

Oh, awesome!

For those, would we want to use just book-based paintings (like John Howe and Alan Lee), or would we want to add movie screencaps?

 

[xmen510]

Movie screencaps would be absolutely amazing. Art would be just as good too though. That is something that would need to be discussed.

 

[Sengir]

Looks good, I'm going to wait for the source code before talking about feasibility, but it looks good.

 

[Megaman_zx]

some of john howe's art is better than the movies in my opinion

 

[Berenthor]

I just found that mod as well and immediatly thought it would be cool. But something like this has no priority, so maybe something for a later release. I think events will probably not be in the first alpha, at least that would be my idea.

 

[xmen510]

I can agree with that.

Passable & Workable Peaks (Great for Dwarves):

We should also decide right off the bat if this MOD is going to be compatible with Blue Marble.

 

[Sengir]

First mod looks easily implementable (as expected), the second will need to be adapted for use, as we don't want everybody able to use the mountains (right?).

I don't mind Marble, other people can decide on that

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Not Blue Marble.

FFH terrain, created by Sezereth.

 

[T_F]

Agreed on FFH terrain. Looks more fantasyish.
In a similar vein, are we going to use the FFH interface style? That's also more fantasyish, but it'll need a few minor modifications (like something to fill the space of the Armageddon Counter).

The peaks thing - is there a way to restrict that to Dwarves only? I would assume so, but then, I don't know much.

 

[xmen510]

I suppose FFH Terrain will do. I also agree that the Peak advantage should be for the Dwarves only. Perhaps would could even make it so that Dwarves can ONLY settle on Peaks/Hills.

 

[T_F]

That would be an interesting dynamic.

 

[Sengir]

ooh, I like that. That might be a lot of work though (more as in: not first release)

 

[xmen510]

Here is something the Modders might want to check out.

I've seen that one, but even though some people might get confused by them, I prefer to see the xml-tags. It gives me a better feel of what I'm doing. Besides that, I prefer to use the program I use for all my programming (which every programmer does I assume), as that has all the shortcuts I use. It is however a nice tool for those of us that are willing to do some xml-editing, but are not that proficient with coding.

 

[Berenthor]

yeah, the same holds for me. It helps me keep the overview of what I'm doing. But thanks for the link . I would also say FFH terrain. Peaks I don't know if it is restrictable (can always give it no yield but only give it yield with a tech only dwarves can discover or something like that).
The interface I like of FFH, for the armageddon counter, we can use it as influence of the shadow and keep it maybe?

 

[xmen510]

Not sure if I like the influence thing, but then, I don't totally understand the Armageddon Clock to begin with. As I have said before, I am not really a fan of the FFH stuff. So let me know the particulars and perhaps my mind can be changed!

Regarding the link: I put it up in case it might be useful, if it isn't that is fine. I didn't know what people used and some really seem to like it. Don't worry about it.

Some of these animals could be good to use. Note the Dire Wolf which could be used as a Warg Unit:
