When do we get class advancement? Thread - Conquest of Elysium 3

Right now there are two things that are absolutely essential to a casting class that I don't seem to be able to mod:

• The ability to upgrade a character (example: a Witch's Apprentice to a Witch to a Hag) using a ritual.
• The ability to name the rituals that a character has access to (for example "Ritual of Mastery" or "Greater Summoning")

Without those two, you basically can't make any class other than generals like the Baron or Senator. So... when do we get real class modding capabilities?

-Frank

I agree that those two capabilities would be very welcome.

It does seem to be a hole in the full nation modding.

However upgrading can be done by scenario commands. Upgrading units, upgrading sites, etc. Probably scenario commands will always exceed the modding ability for upgrade limited only by creativity.

Scenario commands cannot be given to a class and do not carry over from map to map, so they are useless to my goal of creating classes.

-Frank

I'm glad you asked, because the ritual of mastery commands are in the game, but missing from the documentation. So here is a quick documentation of the mastery commands.

mastery <monster offset>
(monster offset 1 = become the next monster, 2 = the next next...)
masterycost <cost>
masterycosttype <resource type>

huray!

do you have a complete backus-naur conform notaion for mod files? if it exists, may you publish ist or does it reveal features "yet to be implemented"?

Cool even more stuff possible to do! thx jk and thx for asking Frank Trollman

Yeah!

I don't suppose there's also a secret command to name rituals?

-Frank

No, not yet.

Nice, now I can join the modding fun.Is it possible or will it be possible later to have multiple mastery rituals (like warlock can upgrade herself into warlock of one of the four elements)?

right now the last mastery command seems to overwrite the previous mastery commands

OMG. Fantastic stuff. Back to my mods to put that in...
