Quick question about promotions on AI units

[Stormbinder]

I've been playing FfH for few weeks now.

Man, this is so much more fun than vanilla civ4!

My deep thanks to the people who made this fantastic mod. I haven't had so much fun with fantasy strategic game since Master of Magic days...


I have one silly question regarding UI - is there any way to take a close look at promotions on the enemy's unit? Unlike my own units, which of course can be selected and then one could mouse over the promotions little icons, I was unable to figure out how to do the same thing with enemy units. Since I haven't memorized hundreds of new promotions icon, I have to resort to reading enemy unit's general mouseover text (which seem to list only most basic promotions/effects), or browse civilopedia trying to find similar looking image for each unidetified icon (which is a bit time consuming/annoying)

Thank you!

Not really. Its a very interesting point though, a few other new players have mentioned it too. Im going to see if I can figure out a good way to display that information without cluttering up the screen.

Got it, thank you for answering my question Kael.

BTW, speaking as a senior software engineer myself - you know one of the things that I found the most amazing in your mod while I've been playing with it over the weeks?

It is how you and your FfH team members have somehow managed to work around numerous game engine's limitations and turn the game into something it was never meant to be. Simply brilliant. If I would be in Firaxis's shoes (or Stardock's shoes for that matter, since they are making sequel to MOM) I would spare no efforts in hiring you as a senior (or lead) designer for their next game.

Careful about getting people's hopes up by spreading inaccurate rumors.

According to Stardock's forums:
- "It's not likely we're going to do a MOM2 due to the licensing issues with Atari at this stage. But we are working on an unnamed fantasy 4X strategy game."

- "The fantasy strategy game is not a MoM sequel."

the axe is shock, the axe with a star is shock 2, and the axe that looks exactly like the shock 1 axe but with little squiggly lines under it is mith weapons. Heh, Google Chrome doesn't know what an axe is.

It is not an inaccurate rumor. I am monitoring the "Elementals" development closely. Yes, it is not a "legal" sequel but it is going to be MOM spiritual sequel for all intends and purposes. Go and check games features and its screenshots if you like and look for Brad's (CEO) more detailed explanations on Stardocks forums.
