Frequently Asked Questions

I am pretty sure there is no plan to add animated leader heads. The static pictures are of a much higher artistic quality than I suspect we would ever get in animated leader heads. Personally, I think animating them wold detract from the game significantly. Plus, loading leader head animations can really slow the game down. I suppose I'd be ok with them being added only in the media pack as I never download that anyway, but I don't see Kael agreeing even to that.

You are free to release your an animated leader heads modmod of course.

At one point someone made 3D, non-animated versions of the FfH leaders that were pretty cool.

I can't work out why this isn't in the FAQ:

Is there a way I can get notified when there's a new patch released?

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, if nobody else is asking this question...

FFH's facebook group, IIRC.

Link?

And how does that work? Group email or something? Or do you have to check into the facebook group regularly?

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

well, I wouldn't know how that works as I don't have a facebook account ( I'm a weirdo, I know ) . but googling "fall from heaven facebook" gave me this link http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7944426118

I guess I might as well register to join the FFH group there

 

[Nikis-Knight]

I don't think Kael -mails out on the Facebook group for just patches, though he does for new versions.
Generally every couple of days after a new version there's a patch, though. Check back once a week or more, I'd say, or just check before you start a new game.

 

[Lord Parkin]

...or just check before you start a new game.

Thanks, that's a good idea. I'll do that in future.

How do I get blizzards as Illians?

How do I get blizzards as Illians?

Completing "The Deepening" ritual will cause blizzards to randomly spawn throughout the map.

Thank you, I've just started to play them and every time with epic speed I didn't manage to get that far before winning.

Very Basic Question.

What does the +1 Holy or +2 Unholy or +5 Fire after a unit indicate?

Very Basic Question.

What does the +1 Holy or +2 Unholy or +5 Fire after a unit indicate?

I'd really like to know this too, actually. Anyone?

 

[Grey Fox]

When a unit has +X [Element], it has it's strength + that value in strength, and as long as your enemy don't have any resistances or immunities that strength is like normal strength. But if your target has for example 50% Fire Resistance, and your unit has +4 Fire Strength, it's only counted as +2 Strength.

I hope that explains it.

 

[Lord Parkin]

Ah, I see. So how does the rounding work? For example, against a spider with +1 poison, how much poison resistance do you need to negate that bonus? 1%? 50%? 51%? 100%?

 

[Grey Fox]

50% would turn that to 0.5, much like what happens to your strength when you are damaged.

Hi,

I have the FfH 2 on my PC and I now installed patch o - it created a new folder in my Mod/ Fall from Haven 2 034/ , the folder is named: Fall from Haven 2 - and it was not working. Then I copied it in the FfH 2 034 folder - overwriting the files and - still not working. What did I wrong?

CIV BoS is CIV IV Complete...

And where should I install the Media Files?

Thanks and regards
Gwydion

 

[Grey Fox]

Your problem is that you don't have the 0.40 version installed (which should be in the Fall from Heaven 2 folder that the O patch installs to). It can be found in the thread you found the O patch.

 

[Gwydion62]

it works ;-)

Is there a spell that counteracts the withered effect? Or, more broadly, what can I do to heal a unit that has been withered?
