FfH2 BtS Conversion Beta

[CXDamian]

And where would a find a good (free) compare utility?

winmerge.org or pspad.com
I believe eclipse has a compare/diff plugin as well: eclipse.org or easyeclipse.org

In most recent game playing under Patch 'V' I noticed that the Gilden Silveric couldn't recieve the woodsman promotions. I also had an usual option for Yvain the Woodelf: see attached picture

 

[Sureshot]

archery units aren't able to get woodsmen.. which admittedly seems very strange for ljosalfar and Leaves (Archer of Leaves can't get woodsmen2 which their religion unlocks)

 

[MagisterCultuum]

How about letting archers of the leaves, Gilden, (and possible ljosolfar archers) start with woodsman 1, and making woodman 2 available to the archer class (although most archers would still be unable to get it)

 

[Sureshot]

a change i made before was to make Woodsman2 chooseable if you have the Elven promotion.

that way all the right archery units could get woodsmen2 atleast

 

[MagisterCultuum]

that would work too.

 

[seZereth]

"elven archers" will not be in for a long time FoL is in progress of getting a bit more unique

 

[TheJopa]

40. Added over 100 events from BtS in.

Cool. Any new events in? I'd imagine much wider event system for FfH, and those from BtS are too much real-world for ffh.
(And make sure you remove events such as new boiler model or airliner crash )

And make sure you remove events such as new boiler model or airliner crash

Couldn't we have a flying wizard crash or a hippogriff rider crash

 

[onedreamer]

any ETA on patch w ?

 

[Ghost Ranger]

Whenever BTS 3.13 comes out (soon).

 

[DemonMaster]

(soon).

No, you jinx it.

 

[Sureshot]

3.13 could taken forever heh

 

[DemonMaster]

3.13 could taken forever heh

That's the right attitude, if we are very negative about the release date, so much happier we will be when we were all wrong.

We will definitly be adding a ton of our own events in Shadow. But for now I just wanted to cut some of the existing ones (that made sense) over so we had something going on. Also the reason the adaptive and insane events kicked off so frequently was because their weren't any other events to choose from.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

I'm hoping to see several "super-spells" (I'd eventually like several available to everyone plus at least one unique to each civ and to each religion) added in Shadow, which I think could best be implemented through events that are triggered only through building repeatable rituals. The reason to make them events rather than just rituals is that it would give you more choices (e.g. it would let Auric decide which civ or city to hit with the blizzard effect from Age of Ice or let Varn cause a mini-blight in an enemy's land right before an invasion), and could easily have diplomatic consequences.

One point I'm not sure how many people use excel 2007, I for one use 2003. Will it be compatible?

No, you won't be able to load it with excel 2003. One of the reasons I upgraded was to get past the 256 column limit (because we have more than 256 units and will have more than 256 events). Excel 2003 can't import a spreadsheet with more than 256 columns.

Building the Altar of Luonnotar (IV at least, but I think any) doesn't broadcast a global announcement.

(Patch V with the Malakim)

Small issue: Can no longer build acolytes once option to build Confessor becomes available; therefore can no longer spread religion (as building a temple no longer does that) after the priesthood (or whichever) technology.
