[REL] Royal Stables and Royal Kennels

from Elemental Forums

This is just a small mod that adds two buildings to the game.  I was sick of finding only wargs as Kingdom or only Horses as Empire.  The mount resources are so rare that it is very easy for factions to be completely unable to build -any- mounted units all game long.  These buildings insure that everyone will have access to some mounts without making them commonplace!  This tweak is so small I wasn't going to release it, but it was requested in IRC, so here y'all are!

Nice :) I too have been annoyed by the lack of horsies on some maps.

Well done... but please use something else than depositfiles. It's not available 50% of the time.

Hrm.  Are people having trouble downloading this?  I've never had any problems at all with depositfiles.  Is there a better alternative that doesn't require signup?

Lol, i just increased the spawn rate of the tiles. All the mods are unbalancing my game but without them its very boring now i've seen and done everything. Now if only i can get the AI to use mounts that might increase my fun factor...

k1   Alot of people were moaning about a lack of something like this in various threads.

Hrm.  It was not my intention to steal an idea.  Someone requested this mod from me in IRC.  Also, this adds Stables and Kennels.

pft that's one line of XML difference :P

Its more like 30 lines, and the point of releasing mods is so that people that don't know XML can still use the helpful tweaks that other players make.  What's with the acrimony?

Both mods works differently, but archive nearly same result (u get more mounts) so pick the one suits you more! :) City Stables requires warfare mount technology and can be build one per city (not nation) and need level 2 city. So both mods are very different in how its work!
