Yes, it is a "this or larger" prereq.

It needs these

 
        <IsChampion>1</IsChampion>
        <SpawnRating>1</SpawnRating>
        <NPCSpawnLikelihood>100</NPCSpawnLikelihood>

where spawnrating is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. Higher likelihood = more common.

Removing the allegiance tag (kingdom/empire) will prevent the champion from appearing at the fame milestone.

Thanks HF.

It's a shame that Abilities can't be flagged with a "no shield" tag.  I'm guessing there's probably no easy way (if at all) to set a faction to only use certain weapons in their Tech?  Would have liked to make a Faction that only uses 2-Handed Weapons.

Question:

I have created a new hero that is meant to be specific to the sovereign I also created (as a pair).  I managed to create a summoning spell to bring the hero into the world.  However, when my kingdom reaches the the appropriate fame level, that same hero can spawn again.  (It is tagged unique=1).

What can I do to prevent it from spawning through the champ system... and thus only through that spell that can only be cast once?  Is there anything I can do to the Spawnrating or NPCSpawnLikelihood?

How do you trigger a specific quest with a specific custom item?  For QuestMap it has:

<GameModifier>
<ModType>Map</ModType>
<Attribute>CreateQuestNearTile</Attribute>
<BoolVal1>1</BoolVal1>
<Value>-1</Value>

<Provides>Spawns a new quest</Provides>
</GameModifier>

Do you simply replace the -1 in "<Value>-1</Value>" with the InternalName of the quest (as well as changing the internal name of the QuestMap item)?

Thanks for that.  This was Seanw3's post, Reply #5 in this thread: https://forums.elementalgame.com/430537

Note: it looks like the value of the <Value> tag doesn't matter.

1) There is no option for this

2) There is no way of editing the stamps into the editor. The best you can do is place a stamp to look at what the stamp has.

3) If you search through them yourself the tile that states 'water' is the tile called submerged. Many of the stamps actually do not have submerged tiles in them, it is how the program stitches them together that provides the water.

4 --  you didn't specify, but you can create maps that have little to no water yourself. Simply load up a random map and then fill in the water spots with some stamps and you will get a lot less water. Load the map and play, it will still be "random".

What ive ended up doing is in the cartographer I loaded each stamp one by one and made note of which ones contain lots of water. I then deleted those stamps from the game folder, so now when I generate maps there is very little water to begin with and I can either leave it as is or fill in the remaining water.

OK just did some quick tests... the water percentage thing works, but maybe just not 100% as to what you're hoping for.  If you try a large/huge map.... and test the difference between...

this

<WaterPercentageMin>5</WaterPercentageMin>
<WaterPercentageMax>5</WaterPercentageMax>

and this

<WaterPercentageMin>45</WaterPercentageMin>
<WaterPercentageMax>45</WaterPercentageMax>

You'll definitely see a major difference in the amount of water.

Note that even if you set the water percentage to zero.... I think you'll still get a bit of water, presumably because there's some on the tiles or something.... but it will cut it down to a fairly small amount.  That may or may not be good enough for you depending on what you're after.

I have a little question somewhat related to the water issue. I am trying to get a particular stamp to appear always for the sake of one game. I am trying to make a kind of "random campaign" with the Angels and a few human kingdoms vs. Insane Undead, and I wanted the angels to start in the Ilu'Tsavar or whatever its name is. 

So, my problem is.... The god-dammed tile never appears! So the question is: is there a way to make a tile appear in every randomly-generated map?

For the moment, I have tried going to Core Stamps and changing the value of the tile I'm interested in to:

<StampType InternalName="S_Iri_Talavar_01">
<DisplayName>S_Iri_Talavar_01</DisplayName>
<Frequency>100</Frequency>

But it does not seem to help much. Should I use even higher numbers? Should I stop trying that particular line of code because it is not going to work ever? Should I just make a map myself in the cartographer's table?

Many thanks!

Well, that solves everything! Did not knew I could stamp things in cartographer... Must admit I don't use it much (found it a bit unintuitive...particularly when trying to paint rivers). Thank you, Heavenfall. 

To have spells show up in the tech tree you need to alter the tech itself.

Secondly, Destiny's insight can be copied over and changed just fine for me, there is always things that you must do to ensure a spell will automatically show up. For example, AutoUnlock is an important part of this

Thirdly, Your spell only tells the target champion may have permanent death for the turn. You do need to actually perform the killing move. Might I suggest

<GameModifier>
    <ModType>Unit</ModType>
    <Attribute>CurHealth</Attribute>
    <Calculate InternalName="Calc" ValueOwner="TargetUnit">
         <Expression><![CDATA[[Unit_GetHPCurrent] * -1]]></Expression>
    </Calculate>
    <Calculate InternalName="Value">
         <Expression><![CDATA[[Calc]]]></Expression>
    </Calculate>
</GameModifier>

   

Anyone got a suggestion on how to make a building unbuildable but still show up in the tech tree? Conclave/Fortress req did the trick, but polluted the tooltip so it was a no go

(trying to make a replacement for spells in the tech tree)

<RequiresResource>1</RequiresResource>  Seems to work as I want but my capital went all Deorcnysse in one game with insane levels and no levelup buildings. Can cheating mess up that?

edit: lol, just found <HideInBuildList>1</HideInBuildList>   ......

Any way to make mana cost show up in the tooltip? I tried <ProductionRequirement> with mana, but it didn't work. Since buildings only cost labor I have no template to copy from Somewhat minor, but If I can make this happen we can add spells to the tech tree without messing with the tech files.
