Can we have the morale of every single unit independently determined?

Or, you know, put them in the FAQ and hope people will look at it first.

Unfortunately, the level of intelligence for the average person is relatively low. This may have a direct result on the probability of people actually bothering to read the FAQ.

That and the fact that many of us are lazy.

But they are not Frequently Asked. Every question that ends up being answered with "It's hardcoded." is different then the rest because so much is hardcoded. It would be easier just to make a sticky titled: "Things That Are Hardcoded (AKA cannot be changed/tooled with)" and make a clear list of some sort.

Amount of time town can last while under seige
Morale for troops (specifically these certain conditions)
etc...

Are you going to put each of those in the FAQ with all of them taking space and having the same identical answer?

Honestly, there's so many countless, ugly hardcodes that, for simplicity's sake (and for the forum's morale, if nothing else), the thread should be, "Things That Aren't Hardcoded."

Those lists already exist. You're just looking in the wrong (sub-)forum.

Here some more hardcoded stuff: the size of the single character in a CUF file cannot be larger than 255px * 255px. The total number of characters in a CUF file cannot be larger than 65535. The size of a CUF file cannot be smaller than 128KB + 39B. The size of a CUF file cannot be larger than 4GB + 256KB + 36B.

You oughta put a link to that thread in the FAQ, bro.

[Tellos Athenaios]

A thread, nay an entire forum devoted to what is (not) possible.

So your suggestion for when someone has a technical question is to learn how to mod M2TW first before asking it?

[Megas Methuselah]

A rough sentence, TA.

No. You are reading too much into this.

But basically: it seemed to me as if people wanted ‘us’ (EB team) to compile a list of stuff that's ‘hardcoded’ to which my response would be to look that up yourself. I prefer modding to compiling a list of trivia; but you are more than welcome to step in and do the work yourself. More capable people than me have already provided us (read: you, 'cause I am not going to do it) with plenty of stuff to compile if anybody wants to.

Someone's been busy making fonts it would seem, can't wait to see'em.
