Alternate Terrains for Customized factions. EnvironmentTerrain Mod..?

from Elemental Forums

Hello Everyone,

I'm just in a process of a minor faction mods and was interested in trying to set the field below to custom settings for a ice queen or a desert king kind of factions.  Is this no longer possible?  I remember editing this to change terrain in the last game but am having problems with the terrain automatically changing to the previous selections.

<EnvironmentTerrainType>2</EnvironmentTerrainType>

I've also taken a look at the CoreEnvironments file to see if there were configuration settings that could explain why this isn't working.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If I recall correctly, this is hard coded now. It was moddable in WOM, but apparently due to memory optimizations, it isn't anymore.

It is hardcoded, and it was hardcoded in E:wom too. The difference is in E:wom we had 5 environment types, and in FE we only have 3. The two removed environments are, of course, arctic and desert environment.

Thanks for the update, and sad to hear.  I really wish there were options for this.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to move on and possibly make my retarded country modifications instead: Brigandine Countries!
