would it be possible to make a sort of point buy system for the races, so that people could create custom bonuses that are somewhat balanced? (think galciv or pax imperia 2)

i tried to make a chart myself but i am unsure how to value the different attributes

That's a good idea, but I think you should expand on, gives some examples of what the bonuses could be. Post it in the Wishlist thread and hopefully the powers that be will see it.

Sometimes keeping them balanced isn't ideal. Maybe we want one race that is evil, powerful and can only be stopped by several empires working together (plus they have diplomacy of -50 to every one). This race would necessarily need to be more powerful to survive to the end game and be a challenge for the player.




WoodMan -> RE: [Tool] Races editor (v1.2) (8/5/2010 6:04:22 PM)

I agree strongly with Shark here.  There is nothing stopping you from creating balanced races, but others who don't want balance shouldn't be forced into it.




adecoy95 -> RE: [Tool] Races editor (v1.2) (8/5/2010 7:06:40 PM)

wasent suggesting forced, even with a point buy system it could be made to accept the race design even if the current points are overspent or left over

No! Harees Bias editor is also useless in 1 regard of creating new files. It can edit them though. Legends overhauled the whole modding.

Would take writing a new utility I'm afraid. This worked great with DW and ROTS when the races were all in a single file, but with the races now each having their own separate file it just won't work.

It is likely any one who wanted to make an editing utility would have to start from scratch to allow for the new file format.

Im goign to test this tonight [:)]

I see that excel allows exports, maybe I could monkey with it in such a way as to produce a utility...
Or maybe even Visual Basic...
I use to be a programmer way back during the Clone Wars...[:'(]
