Re: [MAIN] XPiratez - N9.7.7 12-Sep-2024 Second Coming

Like nrafield said, the map ends up looking like shit because there's smoke everywhere.
It's just really unpleasant to play through it when you need to put extra effort on seeing enemies on the screen.

The easy mode for Organgrinder view issues is use Night Vision.  The units and items stand out in color while the rest of the (admittedly extremely smokey and explodey) environment is monotone.

Ah, I'll try that, thanks.

I noticed that voodoo: desturction doesn't lead to hellblade. Is that intentional or a bug?

Given that has been this way for several patches now along with the blood axe i will presume intended.

I've researched Alchemy, which says in the description that it allows you to build a Still, but I already had the technology and ability to construct them in the previous version, and now I found out that I can't build one anymore at all despite Alchemy. Is there something I'm missing?

[ohartenstein23]

Nope, bug in this version.  In Piratez.rul, look for

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_STILL
    ... # maybe a few lines in-between
    requires:
      - STR_STILL
and change the requires to

Code: [Select]

    requires:
      - STR_ALCHEMY

Do enemies actually use the cigarettes, assorted drugs, or alcohols they sometimes carry?  I'm assuming that first aid stuff is too complicated for them still, but self healing or buffing stuff should be usable, right?

[ohartenstein23]

Nope, enemies only recognize weapons. I think Solarius Scorch requested some kind of medic AI upgrade though.

[juff]

I'd like to see civilians smoke and drink themselves to death trying to counteract morale loss.

[Dioxine]

Though I think removing the exploding parts would be good

Not happening.

[Solarius Scorch]

Good, because it's the best feature on this map. Come on, explosions are fun!

[nrafield]

If I wanted awesome explosions, I would just use the Chinese Dragon. But it still probably would not be fun in this map since it would probably just result in it freezing for half of an hour as each individual tile explodes.

- Hot/Cold/Adic enviro effects start inflicting damage on turn 2 now, and background color informs of danger

What about color-blind people?

[legionof1]

There is still a text warning on the turn screen.

True, but watching stuff blow up for nearly a minute is not.
