Makanis Magical Pineapple Shack is an enchanting destination tucked away in a serene corner of an island paradise. This hidden gem is known for its mysterious and mystical qualities. As soon as you step foot into this pineapple-themed wonderland, you are transported to a world of enchantment and wonder. The shack itself is a whimsical structure, adorned with vibrant colors and unique pineapple decorations. It's almost as if the shack has a personality of its own, inviting all who enter to embrace the magic that lies within. The aroma of freshly cut pineapples fills the air, teasing your senses and leaving you with a sense of anticipation.
The second big change is the introduction of multiplicative stacking for Production Cost Reduction and Buyout Cost Reduction (xml). These two reductions are highly sought after because, and long time ELCP users probably now, that I think them being so important reduces strategical variety. Multiplicative Stacking instead of the old additive rules is my attempt to solve the issue once and for all. These reductions are no longer just added together, but get reduced in effectiveness the more you stack them. This also means that reaching 100% reduction is no longer possible.
Fixed Fortification HP not being correctly applied to reinforcements in spectator battles -The first turn of a spectator battle may take a while as a result of my fix I ll try to find a better solution if enough people care about spectator battles. However because Fortification Armor in this game only applies when a City is directly attacked, Fortification acts mostly as a roadblock, and focussing on defensive play is typically a waste of resources.
The aroma of freshly cut pineapples fills the air, teasing your senses and leaving you with a sense of anticipation. Inside the shack, you will find yourself surrounded by an array of pineapple-themed merchandise and trinkets. From pineapple-shaped keychains to pineapple-print t-shirts, there is something for everyone to take home as a memento of their visit to this extraordinary place.
The Endless Legend Community Patch 2.1.5 - Bastion
Hey everyone, the next version of ELCP is here! Remember to join my discord channel, if you want to have a chat ( Link ). Further information for newcomers in the [ official forum thread ].
This patch contains next to the typical fixes and changes two rather large Balance changes.
My own experiences and feedback from experienced players have led me to the conclusion, that war is by far the most efficient way to expand in this game. I think this is mostly the case because in most situations there is no relevant defenders advantage. Defenders advantage is important to ensure weaker empires dont get steam rolled immediatly and snowballing is less prevalent. However because Fortification Armor in this game only applies when a City is directly attacked, Fortification acts mostly as a roadblock, and focussing on defensive play is typically a waste of resources. Hence my new (optional) Fortifican rule set. With it activated, defenders no longer have to sit in their city - it makes the offensive use of Fortifications possible! As long as a Battle counts as a City battle, Armies that are on a City District gain the Fortification Armor. Read the changelog and visit this [ Link ] for more information.

These reductions are no longer just added together, but get reduced in effectiveness the more you stack them. This also means that reaching 100% reduction is no longer possible.
For those of you who dont like these changes: The first one is a core file change, but can be deactivated in the pregame options. The second one is an xml-change and gets reverted by my [ Vanilla Balance Mod ].
Last but not least I'd like to welcome cs modder morgoth to the list of contributors for ELCP. His superior programming knowledge will be very helpful and hopefully result in even better improvements in the near future :). ELCP may transform into a team effort after all.

Note: Multiplayer saves from older versions are not compatible with newer versions (Singleplayer saves are fine)
Changelog for v2.1.5:
- Reintroduced my old Advanced World Setting "Replace Inland Seas", since AIs building ships in small ponds was NOT fixed in every case by the latest official patches -by default it is activated, which means ocean tiles without access to fortresses get transformed into inland water tiles on map generation (to prevent ships being build on them) -the feature can be deactivated in the world generation settings -if no fortresses are present, no tiles will be replaced
- Fixed Fortification HP not being correctly applied to reinforcements in spectator battles -The first turn of a spectator battle may take a while as a result of my "fix" (I'll try to find a better solution if enough people care about spectator battles)
- Fixed an issue where a City's Fortification would be reduces to zero if a contender retreated
- Fixed an issue where a unit not being able to join a battle would count a unit that lost all of its Armor when calculating the after-battle Fortification loss
- Players can now only dismantle buildings if they have full ownership over a (recently conquered) city
- Assimilation effects are now displayed in the tooltip of Villages as well
- This should help new players, who have not yet memorized all the assimilation effects
Balance [Core files]
- Introduced a new optional rule-set for Fortification Armor and when it applies
- When creating a lobby, a new game play option is available: "Fortification Rules"
- Players can choose between "Classic" (the old rule-set) or "ELCP" (the new default)
- Under the old rule-set, Fortification Bonus only got applied, if a city is directly attacked. The defending army and all reinforcements got the Bonus.
- Under the "ELCP" rule-set, Fortification gets applied as soon as at least one of the two main contenders is on a City Tile or an Exploitation Tile - it doesnt matter who attacked!
- But: Only Armies that are located on a City Tile (District) get the Fortification Bonus! Reinforcements that are not on a City Tile dont get the Bonus!
- Reinforcements for City Defenses are therefore weakened, but in turn offensive use of Fortification is now possible!
- All in all this should make defensive play a stronger option. Under classic rules, heaving lots of Fortification only delayed the inevitable when being besieged.
- Under the "ELCP" rule set, defenders with an inferior army can attack out of their city and turn the tides with that hefty Armor Bonus!
- Attackers on the other hand may decide that 400 fortification cultist city is too dangerous, some pillaging will have to do.
- The morgawr are one of the more powerful factions anyway, and especially roving clans players where essentially powerless against this action
- Introduced multiplicative stacking for Production Cost Reduction and Buyout Cost Reduction (Buildings and Units)
- An example: Empire Plan Science and Industry Level 2 (33%), Behemoth Tamer Level 2 (Wild Walker Governore Skill) 2*12%, 2 assimilated Urces Villaged (10%)
- Under the old additive stacking rules, this would result in 33% + 2*12% + 10% = 67% reduction, Buildings only cost 33% of their original value
- Under the new multiplicative stacking rules, this results in 1-((1-0.33) * (1-0.12) * (1-0.12) * (1-0.10)) = 53% reduction, Buildings cost 47% of their original value
- This means that stacking these bonuses is less effective the more you do it, and - first and foremost - reaching 100% reduction is no longer possible
- This change was implemented to combat the strength of stacking construction cost reduction and buyout cost reduction
- With the new multiplicative stacking these nerfs are no longer necessary
- Necrophages are on the weaker side of the faction spectrum, while their units are strong, their growth and production is slow at the start, and they are dependent on getting some good early fights for boosters and later battleborn
- I have found in my games that the time it takes to get that second quest done for the free hero often dictates how succesfull the rest of the game is
- Making the quest easier (and more reliable) to achieve should give necros a boost in reliability when it comes to their early game
- Improved Unit Designer logic for heroes
- AI now ignores the Item Cost of the current design, when comparing with a hypothetical new design (since the cost has already been paid)
- AIs will heavily favor Iron Talisman on Generals that slow their army down
- Heros will now heavily favor Items that fit their current role (Governors will mostly ignore Army Items, Spies heavily favor scopes etc.)
- AIs now take their strategic resource stock into account, when deciding on unit designs, not just their income
- The AI was very eager to fully man all its Camps, even the ones that were secure in its heartland
- The AI now takes into account, how secure a position is so it doesnt waste so many units
- cultists will no longer think "Right of way" helps them connecting their villages with roads
- Kapaku now get a strong boost to their willingness to research Camps and their special Stockpiles (when at war)
- Forgotten are more likely to research "What's Mine is Mine" if they have active spies
- CanFreeEmbark now checks for "FactionTraitSeaDemons1" instead of "AffinitySeaDemons" in order to allow modders to use it for other factions
- Autoturn no longer stops on its own when assertions fail or error logs occur, making this command more useful for afk-AI testing (thanks morgoth!)
- The god cursor "Spawn allied Army" cheat now spawns an army of the currently selected empire instead of always the first one
For those of you who dont like these changes: The first one is a core file change, but can be deactivated in the pregame options. The second one is an xml-change and gets reverted by my [ Vanilla Balance Mod ].

Reviews for "Step into a Tropical Oasis at Makanis Pineapple Shack"
1. John - 1 star - I couldn't understand the hype around Makanis magical pineapple shack. The entire experience was a letdown from the moment we entered. The service was incredibly slow, and the staff seemed disinterested. The food was mediocre at best, with the grilled pineapple lacking any flavor or sweetness. Even the ambiance was underwhelming, as the shack was cramped and uncomfortable. I would not recommend wasting your time or money here.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - Makanis magical pineapple shack fell short of my expectations. The prices were astronomical for the quality of food they offered. The pineapple dishes lacked creativity and tasted average at best. The portion sizes were also ridiculously small for the price. The service was subpar, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and unattentive. Overall, it was a disappointing dining experience that I won't be repeating.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I had heard so many great things about Makanis magical pineapple shack, but my visit was a disappointment. The wait for a table was incredibly long, and once we were seated, the service was slow and inattentive. The menu lacked variety, and the pineapple-themed dishes felt forced and lackluster. The flavors were underwhelming, and the presentation was average at best. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're a die-hard pineapple fan.
