[BTS] Is it possible to altar Mountains?

Grandpa Troll · January 24, 2011, 17:54

Without a lot of scripting, could I say have mountains give resources or allow travel through or even have rivers?

Thanks for any feedback!

I couldn't find a way to allow passage through a mountain square in Worldbuilder. You can manually put resources and rivers on mountains in Worldbuilder but I guess that is not what you really looking to do. I am quite sure you will have to do some scripting. I can't help you with the scripting as it is a complete mystery to me.

Thanks, just trying to make use other than waste of space

I find it a bit annoying too. Sometimes I go into worldbuilder and change them all to hills.

IIRC They were supposed to be a waste of space and/or a barrier. Been a long time since IV came out so my memory may be playing tricks on me.

Well, you can still win, I use WB almost all the time, to create maps/environments for an enjoyable experience.

The RifE mod allows certain units (mostly dwarven and giantkin, plus a few others) to pass through mountains, and to do some improvements there. Also, cities can work mountain tiles. There's also an ability (available to dwarven clerics) which changes a mountain to a hill.

Some mapscripts allow you to determine the % of mountains (as well as other terrain). This is before you start the game, obviously. After you start, WB is your only option.
