[TheMageLord]

I'll do something like that the next one I add

I never really thought about it, but I suppose it would get hard to keep track haha.

[HardCode]

If you could figure out how to have a king offer 5000 gold instead of 900, for rejecting your request for a castle/town, I'd be happy

[Lancefighter]

Thanks!


Hardcode, i might actually be able to do that myself... Lemme a try at it please TML?

[Lancefighter]

Got it!

Wouldnt fit in a quote box, so i made it a code box... (meaning i cant use color and bold like TML does ): ). The 900 should be the second to last from the end if that helps... Line 147.

[TheMageLord]

Yep, thats the right 900 to edit

Added it to the list.

Yay 
A nice round 40 now

Can I just say, for the record, that I absolutely LOVE TheMageLord. Seriously man, you are brilliance incarnate.

Thanks soooo much for the stuff you've done.

Best idea yet for my money! Thanks for all these tweaks guys, it's almost enough to not be bored about how long it's taking for the module system to come out.

[HardCode]

Just think, when the module system is out, we'll have to bug him for the Python scripts for all of these

[TheMageLord]

Well, to people using python most of these would be incredibly obvious. They would know the name of the script in question from the tweak, so they could just look it up and see exactly how it works. I only actually added code in to a couple of them, those would be the only ones people might want the python script for. And even then, with the module system they could probably come up with a better way of doing it anyway

Still, this list will be useful for people who don't want to bother with python, even after the module system is out.

Once it IS out, I don't plan on supporting the tweaks as much - I'll be working on my own mod

[Oskatat]

Thus you can then refuse a village elder quest without making him stop giving you quests forever.

my hero

[kwekl]

Hi MageLord I would also like declare you a hero except that guy in your profile picture is the most hideos and insulting thing ive ever seen, so no dice.


Anyway heres the next challenge:

In line with making all these half-arsed features of the game less ridiculous, is it possible to make the party size bonus a function of reknown? Id like it so that the first hundred or so points represent you making a name for youself, but your name alone isnt enough to get people to follow you to their death so good leadership is the most important part of increasing your party size.

But then you tailor the function such that around 350 - 600, when you're establishing yourself as a lord and commander, things really start to kick off and you start to get an extra troop every 2 or 3 reknown. Then leadership becomes more important for maintining good morale among yer troops than getting them to follow you in the first place.

If you can figure out how script in a function, I can take it from there

[TheMageLord]

The party size is already dependant upon renown, every 25 renown is 1 party size.

[PurplePuppy]

that guy in your profile picture is the most hideos and insulting thing ive ever seen

I think he looks like some sort of friendly villager.
Wouldn't mind seeing him strolling around a village. He might even lead me to the nervous man that no one seems to care about.

[TheMageLord]

Haha, I got that from some game. He was supposed to be a druid character - maybe Baldur's Gate? I don't remember

I can't remember why I used him as my avatar... I set that thing up over 3 years ago.
