Minor requests and questions thread

Nice job, Valkrionn

In modding mood. When this happens, I usually open up the Modders guides for FfH and FF... And, well, it has to be done for Orbis. I would really like to know what tag you've added or imported from FF. It would greatly help

 

[Valkrionn]

With Ahwaric being the only person working on Orbis, I don't know if he'd have the time to put one together... I'm amazed he's able to do as much as he does.

I get behind just working on *my* mod, and I only mess with one civ!

I'm amazed he's able to do as much as he does.

As he said, his girl friend does the thinking (imagining troll lairs etc.), he just needs to code it.

 

[Seon]

coding it is hard, but I think Ahwaric copy and paste other codes in existence and morph it around a bit.

 

[Opera]

Looking in the Orbis editor told me which are the new tags (at least in the files modified by the editor). I may compile a list sometime later today.

(a girlfriend is always useful )

No idea if you'd use it or not, but I edited the Goum improvement for my mod, thought I'd post here with the new graphic as well. I think it came out pretty well, but of course I'm biased.
Needed it as my mod has a 4 level improvement for the Malakim, while the Yurt -> Goum -> Aduar only has 3.

Looks great! I guess I need to do some text for it since I already did it for the yurt!

Fellowship of the Leaves' fawns and Satyrs can't use bronze weapons when most if not all other recon units can, it seems kind of weird, is this intentional or not?

???

I don't think any recon unit can use weapons promotions.

Edit: I just noticed this was in Orbis, so maybe I'm wrong. I haven't played Orbis since the first release.

SHAME ON YOU !

since satyrs and fawn's use their arms and legs to fight it seems logical they can't use any weapon type's

 

[Iskar Jarak]

In the animation fawns use dagger looking weapons, and satyrs use javelins, (unless the art has been changed dramatically)

Thanks, but unless Ahwaric uses it there's no real point... Text for his improvements wouldn't match mine.

Does Orbis modmod include FlavourMod and visible improved forests for elves?

If not, are they like to be any clashes caused by installing them with Orbis?

Also, does Orbis resolve the problem of early religions strangling later religions?

 

[Valkrionn]

Yes it does include Flavourstart. No idea on the other two, but the elf improvements shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Opera]

@lumpthing: I just did a minor work on the leaders threshold when it comes to open borders agreement. They would be more reserved now: Os-Gabella shouldn't open her borders to Arendel Phaedra (the latter being good and the former now requiring pleased or above). It should slow down disciples spamming. However, if, in said case, Arendel opens with Jonas who opens with Os-Gabella, if the elf spread her mean disciples to Jonas, he would certainly do the same to Os-Gabella.

I have included a modified version of the Orbis editor in which I red-colored the parts that I modified (only in Leaders tab and OpenBorders line... I should have colored all others red cells back to blue but I forgot ). For installing, simply extracts in your Orbis folder. It should ask to overwrite, choose yes.

I think the ReligiousWeights need reworking too.
I also think that RoK shouldn't alter alignment. Am I missing some lore that make this utter nonsense?

I also also think, on another issue, that it may be nice to mod a bit those minor leaders. When looking (quickly) through them, I saw that they are many things in common with major leaders, like clones.

 

[Seon]

Nah, religions are messed up more in Orbis, although I managed to spread Empyrean to Kuriotates on every single one of their metropolises but they still refuse to submit to the One True God, Lugus

 

[Opera]

That's not nice. At all

 

[Darksaber1]

I know. Every one of Volva's cities had OO, but no Conversion is in sight. She'll propably run off with one of the big-name religeons, like Kane's Empyrean, and leave me droping from friendly to Cautious.

 

[mimic]

What about a new model for Goliath? that thing looks waay too advanced imo, really kills immersion..

 

[civ_king]

dude, it is from an end game civic, and it is from the Mechanos, though it should look a little rougher

 

[mimic]

Well yeah but when I compare it to its button/image/civopedia art/whatever I imagine someone kind of clockwork steampunk thing, not RoboCop
