The modded version has more free cities.

If I use the trait "many free cities" on its own, which states "free cities are more common than usual", is that a smaller or larger bonus than "Populous Realm" (free cities are Common)?

@KingofApples Not sure what happened, but I ended up putting it dead last in the load order and now it works fine.

I checked and this mod is working for me, right now, in the current patch. I cannot reproduce the issue you are describing.

Anybody got a savegame with this mod from before ogre, that loads?
My savegames are bricked and I'm pretty sure it's this one...

@Richiba Inu It's not just you. I've got the same issue. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. It's one of my favorite mods.

Doesn't work for me for some reason. When I add realm traits none of the SMRT ones are shown.

Tunnelled underground is so close to what I want it's making me sad :(

It almost connects every cavern in the underground, but always there are just 1 or 2 that is completely cut off in bedrock. Makes underground-only maps impossible as several empires are just stuck.

Anybody know a mod that makes the underground fully traversable without passages?

@KingofApples A big thank you for making the Forming Realm with Free Cities. I just noticed it when starting a new game. It's exactly what I was looking for.

suggestion for a realm trait: Permadeath. Once a hero dies, they cannot be ressurected. Leader respawn time is tripled.

KingofApples, yes, this too. But mostly I d like the map creation patternt to be changed from several separated undergroung spaces into one single space, even though it can be represented in a way of tonnels in the bedrock or excavatable soil. There can be bedrock but it shouldn`t block my way to reach other underground cities through excavation, this is the idea

Updated with new traits.

@Gwyn I tried but it seems like the current map generator makes that impossible. At least for my level of modding knowledge.

Thank you-thank you!

@KingofApples That would be so good! I was surprised to find no free cities and then was informed in the forums that they are disabled for that realm trait. I look forward to that if you are able to make it happen.

I should be able to add that.

@KingofApples I was wondering if there's a way to add a Forming realm that includes free cities. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

Thank you for making this! Great work!

omg, so glad to see this mod! been wanting more map traits!!♥♥♥

Updated. Moved the mod text from the name to the tooltip, looks much better.

@Claymore I can move that to the tooltip instead. That might be more pleasing to look at.

Very well made added so much options ty

Especially in the So Many Society Traits mod, cause it messes up the traits being grouped up by affinity. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude or whatever, it just truly feels out of place and sorts your mods out in their own, not really needed, like, artificial, if you get what I mean, category.

Bro, great mod, but I BEG THEE, remove the SM- prefixes, they do not matter in game, cause all of them are pretty unique, but aesthetically they look so out of place, it's insane.

Gwyn do you mean a wide open area without much bedrock blockers?

Finally it's back! I'm so happy I can play this again. Thank you.

Nice mod, thank you! Btw, I think a lot of people like me would be grateful for creating something like "really great undergroung" with single underground space connected with tonnels like it was possible to make in AOW3.

I'll try to add more detail to the tooltips.

Ocean world has about 88% water coverage. Islands has about 70%. That's the main difference.

like if pictures aren't available maybe a little text to help, because generating a new world and exploring it is time-consuming and I'd like to know what I'll get but some options like Ocean World and Diverse Climate (isn't that the norm?) aren't clear how they'll differ

what's the difference between Ocean World and regular Islands?

That's odd. I was getting rivers when I tested, I'll double check and update the mod if it's not right.

I can't upload pics of every map, there's a pretty low limit for mod pages

Any pictures of what each realm should look like? I just tried a map with the rivers and it's only giving me highlands with a lot more mountains and no rivers.

Initial upload. Should be fully compatible with everything. Traits added are marked with SMRT in their name so you can easily find them and tell which traits are added from this mod.
