The Feminine Rhythm exists to educate women about the power, beauty, and natural rhythms of their bodies, feminine energy system, and spirit. Our intention is to guide women through the journey of remembering how to honor and celebrate their bodies, energy, and femininity through empowering you to create sustainable daily life practices that support the nourishment and blossoming of your unique expression of feminine power and wisdom.
Root Medicine:
Integrating the Female Body and Feminine Spirit
Intuitive Guidance and Healing Sessions
The Root of your body, your pelvic floor muscles, your womb space, your ovaries, your vagina, your cervix, your heart they all speak to you. Do you know how to listen?
Your body is an ecosystem that works together with many parts. When you can see all the working pieces, you begin to form a relationship with them and inside this relationship, your body wisdom starts to speak to you.
These Sessions can support the healing and recovery process from
- The trauma of lost/missing female organs (hysterectomy, lost ovaries, torn perineum etc)
- Pelvic pain and other physical symptoms of pelvic inflammation
- Adrenal fatigue, PCOS, chronic inflammation, immune function disorders
- Birth/Labor trauma that left you angry and mistrustful with your body and female organs
- Heartbreak, breakups, divorce, empty nest, death of a loved one
It can help you learn:
- to have healthy and vibrant orgasms (even if you've never had one, and even without a partner)
- to care for your sexuality and sensuality whether or not you are in a partnership
- to sync your life with the rhythm of your own hormones
- to be a radiant, nourishing, and playful presence with your sexual partner
- to cleanse, clear, and care for your own energy system, body, and organs so that you know how to bring your bodies hormonal systems back into balance
- to create sustainable rituals and devotional practices that help you connect to the sacred parts of life
In your creative life they can help you:
- Gain a fresh perspective on what's going on in your life, career, or relationship
- Find deep peace and healing with issues that have been holding you back for a long time
- Trust your body wisdom, your heart, and womb
- Feel more vibrant and creative with your next idea or life path
- Understand how the ecosystem of your pelvic bowl, your energy system, nervous system, mind, spirit, and soul work together so that you have more energy and joy available to you
- Let go of shame and emotional sludge held in your root that is holding you back
- Reconnect to the energy of your femininity and the feeling of knowing who you are
You will feel held and whole in this space.
I combine my experience and wisdom from my studies in the divine feminine, sacred daoist sexuality, entrepreneurship, sports medicine and functional fitness, eastern medicine (ayurveda and chinese 5 element), paleo and whole food nutrition, yoga, dance and movement as well as my personal experience in deeply sacred and intimate relationships with highly aware men, and exploring the forest of my psyche and the terrain of my own body.
I believe in empowering you to become and live your own medicine. Your body and spirit have an innate ability to heal and guide you. Your resources as a woman to know your gifts and find your own medicine through your body and your joy are abundant.
There are two ways to work with me in Root Medicine Sessions
- Virtually as an intuitive guidance and healing session
- In person in a more traditional healing setting, where you get to lie down, let go and experience the power of your female body and feminine energy in a whole new way.
Each Session is 90 minutes.
Root Medicine Virtual
Intuitive Guidance and Feminine Ecology Session
If you're feeling stuck, stagnant, exhausted, worn down, and low energy. If you're feeling disconnected from your intuition, and inner wisdom and if you're looking for deeper understanding of your own relationship to the feminine, to your energy system, and your natural gifts, this session has something for you.
You might already feel very intuitive yourself but it can feel difficult to step outside your own box and hear clearly the higher guidance that's coming through. I've always found it so helpful and empowering to have another person I trust to hold this space for me.
And so I want to offer this to you.
These sessions are different than a mentoring or coaching session in that they are truly a space for you to come with your questions, challenges, and confusions so that you can have a clear place to see them, get reflections, and make shifts from a higher perspective.
You guide the session with your questions and I will provide the information that I see and feel. Together we will discover what guidance comes through and what steps you might take.
I'll provide you with a recording of our session and you'll have clear guidance as to your next steps in life and at least one practice that you can begin implementing to ground in this next part of your path.
How Virtual Root Medicine Sessions Work:
Sessions are 90 minutes.
- We meet on skype or facetime. I light a candle and we begin with a grounding practice to create a sacred space together and connect to a clear channel of higher wisdom for you
- From here you'll ask about the 1 or 2 areas of your life you want to explore and I will share the guidance that comes through me.
- To complete, I'll guide you through a meditation where you can sink deeply into the the ecosystem of the root of your body, energy system, and pelvic bowl. In this space, you have the room to feel yourself without fear or judgement and discover how to listen to and heal the relationship between you and your root wisdom.
- After our session I'll send over the recording as well as any notes or instructions I have for you.
Session Investment: $135
Root Medicine In Person:
Feminine Energy Integration + Guided Feminine Ecology Session
These sessions are a combination of hands on energy healing, guided embodiment, emotional release and intuitive guidance for your life path. These are in person only sessions as we meet in my healing space in denver/boulder area.
What is Guided Embodiment:
Guided Embodiment is a process of helping you orient or reorient yourself to you physical body through proprioceptive touch of specific areas of stagnation, tension, and closure, so that you come into a visceral understanding of the space in your body you have to inhabit and how to awaken disengaged muscle groups through your own breath, attention, and the help of another's presence and directed loving attention through their hands.
Proprioception is the awareness of your own body in space and time. It is a key awareness tool to cultivate when it comes to feminine presence, power, and self care. It is vital to listening to your inner body wisdom and feeling into the deeper needs of your being so that you can learn to meet those needs in a healthy and fulfilling way.
I work with the emotional, energetic and physical roots of the body to help you come into a nourishing and relaxed state of feeling and living in your body.
I also work with your relationship to your feminine energy and spirit, in order to help integrate and reclaim the ways you have disowned the beauty and gifts of your femininity.
How Root Medicine In Person Sessions Work
Sessions are 90 minutes
- We meet at my Healing Space in the Denver/Boulder Area and we will begin with a grounding practice to create a sacred space together and connect to a clear channel of higher wisdom for you.
- From here you'll ask about the 1 or 2 areas of your life you want to explore and I will share the guidance that comes through me.
- Ill guide you through the process of guided embodiment, which uses meditation, subtle body awareness, breath, and movement so you can sink deeply into the the ecosystem of the root of your body, energy system, and pelvic bowl. In this space, you have the room to feel yourself without fear or judgement and discover how to listen to and heal the relationship between you and your root wisdom.
- We'll complete with reflections on your experience and making sure you have clarity on what you can implement in your life to make the work we do sustainable and practical.

The Top Reasons I see women come to me:
1) Relationship/ Breakup Detox:
Did you know that after you leave a relationship, the wounds, memories, and energy of that time in your life is stored in your body? An elder wisdom keeper once told me it takes 9 months to clear the energy of a man from your pelvic space and energy field.
Breakups and relationship endings are traumatic, painful, and heartbreaking no matter how aware you are or where you are at in life. It can be easy to spiral into depression, negativity, and chaos during this time. It can be easy to self beat yourself into getting over it in two weeks and being "fine… just fine..". Sure I sort of believe you. 🙂
Why not use this time to learn to love yourself, clear your field, revitalize your body, and re-pattern habits so that you can begin your next chapter fresh and clear?
2) Career/Work Transition/Purpose Upheaval (AKA I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing here on earth)
One of my teachers has told me "A day you go without touching into your sexual essence (the feminine) is a day you have no idea why you're here". Our sexual essence, your feminine spirit and soul are deeply connected to your destiny, desire and purpose here on the planet.
When you feel disconnected to your desire: either you have no idea what you want or you want everything all at once without any clear direction, you are in a state of confusion and overwhelm. You probably feel ungrounded and chaotic and wondering how to navigate any emotions and feelings that come your way.
My work helps women re-connect the channels physically, energetically, and spiritually back to their source essence so that they can recognize the signals their body sends them, clear away attachments that keep you in habitual unhealthy patterns of relating, and to re-build the relationship between the emotions, the body, and the soul so that harmony and deep peace begin to become a regular occurrence in your life.
3) Lack of Self Expression, Sexual Wounding , Fear of Opening up to Intimacy
Whether or not you've experienced physical sexual trauma, chances are that by being a woman raised in a western culture, you feel sexually confused, shut down, guilty, or a little bit broken.
This can lead to patterns of people pleasing, feeling always manipulated, like a victim to life, and without power to change your circumstances.
Much of the emotional sludge, and physical tension held in the pelvis is related to issues of security, sex, and power. If you are having trouble processing emotions like anger, grief, sadness, and rage, my work can help you through these thresholds so that you actually release and shift in a sustainable way.
As we work to help you become more intimate with your inner world, you can begin to re-create new relationships or re-build current ones so that they nourish the kind of connection you desire.
4)Clearing the Way to receive a New Partnership, Business, Child
Sometimes you just know that it's time to prepare for something new. My work can help you gain clarity and have the guidance to do what's necessary to clear the way in your physical life, space, body, and energy so that you can receive what it is you desire.
5) Fatigue, Exhaustion, Self hating/Unhealthy Self talk, Hard Shell woman (AKA "I'm too masculine")
Often business and entrepreneurial type women work with me because they feel so hardened and exhausted in their life and work. They notice they have a hard time with their male relationships or are not taking time for self care. I help you create sustainable practices and rituals that give you time and space to learn the arts of feminine self care so that you can soften up and find more ease in your life.
Here are some other examples of reasons women work with me… they feel:
* Stagnant, Stuck, in emotional sludge, spiraling into chaos
* Pelvic Pain/tension, cut off from the lower half of your body
* Issues with their menstrual cycle and it's connection to their energy, life and family
* Afraid to open yourself to love and intimacy/ Sexually wounded
* Disconnected from your internal core of joy, freedom, and ease
* Ready to detox from old relationships, careers, dreams
* Adrenal Burnout, Exhaustion, Hardened Shell, over heating
* Confused about how to navigate the feminine spiritual pathway and stay grounded
* Ready to heal patterns that keep their relationships unhealthy
*Unsure if they want to have children, but want to connect to the power of their femininity and creativity
* Post Childbirth and feeling disconnected from their bodies, sensuality, and vibrancy
It is important that you know that anything that is shared is 100% confidential and that I am not "god". Anything that comes through is something that you must decide feels right to you.
1. the part of a plant that attaches it to the ground or to a support, typically underground, conveying water and nourishment to the rest of the plant via numerous branches and fibers
2. the basic cause, source, or origin of something
1. cause (a plant or cutting) to grow roots
2. establish deeply and firmly
Working with Lauren has been one of the greatest gifts I have ever given myself. Having her as my mentor fundamentally empowered me at a deep level, and I still see the benefits of our time together a year later.
Lauren has a unique ability to see what is hidden, to dissolve your fears, and go with you, gently and boldly into your most unknown places. She will help you find treasures within that you never knew you had, and give you an amazing and empowered view of yourself.
She will also give you some kick-ass tools to ride the waves of your experience, embrace who you are, and EXPRESS it more fully!
My way of relating to myself, my emotions, and other people have benefitted dramatically from working with Lauren. Most notably my relationships with men are radically different: I feel so much more free and empowered and can enjoy myself so much more in relationships, free of anxieties and 'survival tactics'.
If you know deep down that you are a powerful, unique, beautiful, loving woman, but your life experience and the way you express yourself in the world don't fully reveal the strength and potential you have, then I can highly recommend enlisting Lauren as your valuable mentor and ally."
D from Germany
"Before I worked with Lauren, I felt my sexuality no longer existed. I was always in a hurry, running from here to there, from the time I woke, to the time I went to bed. Now, I have a deeper connection with my body and I now make decisions from a place of deep down knowing (in my core), rather than a place of questioning and insecurity. I went from feeling asexual and androgynous (I had quit caring for me in simple ways) to super feminine. I learned what it truly means to slow down in my life and and with my family by staying in my body and that this way of being is more authentic and I am better received by others.The spark is back in my marriage, I feel super grounded and calm, I know how to magnify my presence when needed, and I have a new connection to my body, that at the age of 39, I have never had before."
"I'm finally beginning to believe that I'm ok. The voice of self acceptance is becoming stronger than all the other voices."S from California
"Working with Lauren opened up my womb for the first time in my life. I had no idea what was really there. I perceived it to be ugly, weak, vulnerable and a burden. I now see it as warmth, life, strength, and wisdom. My words aren't conveying the power of my experience with her, but she helped begin the process of learning to really love, honor, respect and KNOW myself…which taught me how to treat others in a new way."J from Austin texas
By helping me relax into my highest truth, embodying the feminine, it frees up energy so I can embody the highest energy for my truth/mission/company. It's a win-win-win.
I really struggle with "embodying" the feminine. I certainly look feminine and at best have used sex to "get" someone. But that's not the case anymore and I am called to be with a strong masculine man. My highest truth is the divine feminine, but I've felt very "lost" in knowing what that is. I have a healing business as well, L-Yoga Flow, so I "get" a lot of all of the healing/new age/conscious path…but it's funny how if something is your "issue" it's still your issue. So at the age of 34, after working with you, I feel like I'm happily learning how to be a woman, a true woman, the highest expressive of the feminine. And well, that's your work!N from Ohio

NBC Orders Four Dramas and Two Comedies and Renews Four Series at Its Upfront Presentation
NBC Announces Six New Shows — and Leaves Some in Limbo
NBC revealed a big chunk of its primetime plans for next TV season this morning, announcing six new dramas, four comedies, and four renewed series. But it left a lot of questions open, too — including the fate of Chuck and Law and Order and when all of these shows will fit on the new primetime schedule.
Those answers are supposed to come May 19 — the same week the rest of the networks will announce their schedules. But for now, here's what we know: The four new dramas are Parenthood, based on the feature film of the same name; Trauma, a fast-paced medical show; Mercy, another medical show revolving around the lives of nurses; and Day One, about the aftermath of a global catastrophe. The comedies are Community, about a band of misfits at a community college, and 100 Questions, about a young woman looking for love online.
Returning for sure next season are Heroes, Parks and Recreation, Southland, and Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday, which aired a few special episodes before last Fall's presidential election and will air six more times this Fall. Despite reports of a renewal over the weekend, no decision was announced about Medium. The network previously renewed The Office, 30 Rock, The Biggest Loser, The Celebrity Apprentice, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, and Friday Night Lights and had announced the new reality series The Marriage Ref, Breakthrough with Tony Robbins, and Who Do You Think You Are?
I'll be back with clips, photos, and my take on NBC's new shows a bit later, but for now, you can read official descriptions of all the shows if you read more.
From the executive producers of the box-office hit Parenthood — Ron Howard and Brian Grazer (Oscar winners for A Beautiful Mind), and writer/executive producer Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights) — this contemporary re-imagining of the blockbuster film depicts the colorful and imperfect Braverman family — four grown siblings sharing the headaches, heartaches and joy of being parents. The star-studded cast includes Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Craig T. Nelson, Dax Shepard, Bonnie Bedelia, Monica Potter, Erika Christensen and Sarah Ramos. When Sarah Braverman (Tierney, ER), a financially strapped single mother, returns home to her parents and siblings in Berkeley, Calif. after packing up her Fresno apartment and uprooting her two inconvenienced kids, Amber (Mae Whitman, In Treatment) and Drew (Miles Heizer, ER), she is greeted by her opinionated father, Zeek (Nelson, Family Stone, Coach), and strong mother, Camille (Bedelia, Heart Like a Wheel), who are privately dealing with their own marital issues. As Sarah is reunited with her siblings — sister, Julia (Christensen, Traffic), and brothers Crosby (Shepard, Baby Mama) and Adam (Krause, Six Feet Under) — all struggling with issues of their own, it's clear that the Braverman reunion is just what they need to face the everyday challenges of modern family life. Parenthood is a production from Imagine Entertainment and Universal Media Studios. Emmy winner Thomas Schlamme (The West Wing) directs the pilot.
Executive producer Peter Berg (NBC's Friday Night Lights) delivers Trauma, the first high-octane medical drama series to live exclusively in the field where the real action is. Like an adrenaline shot to the heart, Trauma is an intense, action-packed look at one of the most dangerous medical professions in the world: first responder paramedics. When emergencies occur, the trauma team from San Francisco General is first on the scene, traveling by land, by sea or by air to reach their victims in time. From the heights of the city's Transamerica Pyramid to the depths of the San Francisco Bay, these heroes must face the most extreme conditions to save lives -- and give meaning to their own existence in the process. Starring in Trauma are Derek Luke (Notorious), Cliff Curtis (10,000 B.C), Anastasia Griffith (Damages), Aimee Garcia (George Lopez), Kevin Rankin (Friday Night Lights) and Jamey Sheridan (Law & Order: Criminal Intent). Trauma is a production of Universal Media Studios and Film 44. Berg, Sarah Aubrey (Bad Santa, Friday Night Lights), Dario Scardapane and Jeffrey Reiner (Friday Night Lights) serve as executive producers. The pilot was written by Scardapane and directed by Reiner.
Mercy a new medical drama with a unique point of view, portrays the lives of the staff at Mercy Hospital as seen through the eyes of those who know it best — its nurses. Nurse Veronica Callahan (Taylor Schilling, Dark Matter) returns to Mercy from a military tour in Iraq — and she knows more about medicine than all of the residents combined. Together with fellow nurses Sonia Jimenez (Jamie Lee Kirchner, Rescue Me) and Chloe Payne (Michelle Trachtenberg, Gossip Girl), Callahan navigates through the daily traumas and social landmines of life and love both inside the hospital and out in the real world. The cast also includes: James Tupper (Men in Trees) as Dr. Chris Sands, a new doctor at the hospital who complicates Veronica's life; Diego Klattenhoff (Supernatural) as Mike Callahan, Veronica's husband; and Guillermo Diaz (Weeds) as Nurse Angel Lopez. Mercy is a production from Universal Media Studios and Berman Braun. Joining writer/executive producers Liz Heldens (NBC's Friday Night Lights) and Gretchen Berg & Aaron Harberts (Pushing Daisies, Pepper Dennis) are executive producers Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun. Emmy Award winner Adam Bernstein (NBC's 30 Rock, Rescue Me) is the director.
Day One
From executive producer/writer Jesse Alexander (Heroes, Lost, Alias) and director Alex Graves (Fringe, Journeyman), Day One tells the story of life on earth following a global catastrophe that has devastated the world's infrastructures. Beginning with the immediate aftermath of the cataclysmic event, an eclectic band of survivors — played by Adam Campbell (Date Movie), Catherine Dent (The Shield), Julie Gonzalo (Eli Stone), David Lyons (ER), Derek Mio (Greek), Carly Pope (24), Thekla Reuten (Sleeper Cell) and Addison Timlin (Cashmere Mafia) — strives to rebuild society as they unravel the mysteries of what happened and face their uncertain future. The group, all residents of one apartment building in suburban Van Nuys, Calif., embarks on a quest for survival and discovers that hope is found in small victories — and heroes are born every day. Day One is a Universal Media Studios production.
100 Questions
Emmy winner James Burrows (Will & Grace, Friends) directs 100 Questions, a new comedy series written and executive-produced by Christopher Moynihan (For Your Consideration) that provides hilarious answers to 100 questions about love. Charlotte Payne (Sophie Winkleman, Peep Show) is looking for love and has rejected multiple marriage proposals — but she has yet to meet Mr. Right. When she joins a popular online dating site, she gets a little help from her dating counselor Ravi (Amir Talai, The Ex List) — who requires her to take a 100-question compatibility test. The questions aren't easy for Charlotte to answer, and each one requires her to recount a poignant and humorous time in her life with friends Leslie (Elizabeth Ho, Women's Murder Club), Jill (Joy Suprano, NBC's Law & Order), Mike (Christopher Moynihan For Your Consideration) and Wayne (David Walton, Quarterlife). The test becomes a journey of self-discovery for Charlotte who begins to realize what she truly wants in a relationship. Ron West (Psych), Kelly Kulchak (Psych) and Michelle Nader (King of Queens) join Moynihan as executive producers. The series is produced by Universal Media Studios and Tagline.
From Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo (Arrested Development) comes Community, a smart comedy series about higher education — and lower expectations. The student body at Greendale Community College is made up of high-school losers, newly divorced housewives, and old people who want to keep their minds active. Within these not-so-hallowed halls, Community focuses on a band of misfits, at the center of which is a fast-talkin' lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale, The Soup), who form a study group and end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work. In addition to McHale, the series also stars: Gillian Jacobs (The Book of Daniel); Yvette Nicole Brown (Rules of Engagement); Danny Pudi (Greek); Alison Brie (Mad Men); and comedy legend Chevy Chase (Saturday Night Live). Community is a Krasnoff Foster Entertainment, Harmonious Claptrap and Russo Brothers production in association with Sony Pictures Television and Universal Media Studios. Russ Krasnoff (The Soloist), Dan Harmon (The Sarah Silverman Program), Joe Russo (Arrested Development), Anthony Russo (Arrested Development) and Gary Foster (The Soloist) serve as executive producers. Joe and Anthony Russo directed the pilot that was written by Dan Harmon.

Basically foosball is a table with 8 rods and 'table soccer' figures all over with a ball and some handles. There is a goal at each end and a place to serve on each side in the middle. Each player/team uses their handles to move their men to strike the ball into the opposing teams goal. You always go to your right and defend at your left.
Basic rules
Here are the 3 Golden Rules!
I. Tables have 9 Balls, so you play best out of 9 which is first team to 5 goals.
II. If a ball goes into the goal legally, it is a point, no matter who hit it or what it bounced off of.
Here are some more rules you should 'try' to use as well!
1. Coin toss to see who serves first.
2. Serve the ball through the hole any way you want, but you must touch the ball with a man before you score.
3. After goals, the team scored UPON serves the ball next.
4. Ball off the table is given to the team last scored UPON.
5. If the ball stops moving and you can't reach it, "Dead Ball" give it to the team last scored UPON.
6. You can call 'Time Out' if you have the ball. Make sure the other team is ready before you call 'Time In'.
7. You can't reach into the table for the ball while it is in play.
8. Be polite, no swearing, and have fun.
9. You can only have the ball for 15 seconds in any one place.

Target (TGT - Get Report) releases quarterly earnings on Tuesday, March 6.

This is a beach of contrasts. A stream idly trickles through football-sized boulders down to the sea, while soothing sweeps of light-brown sand provide a backdrop to jutting rock formations that point arrow-like towards the Atlantic. It's a place for exploring rather than lounging, though flat grassy areas above the sea wall are ideal for reclining on while you listen to the babble of water below. Our suggested walk, over several wooden footbridges and on to a headland with gorgeous coastal views, is one of the prettiest in this book. Lovely all year round, it's particularly beautiful in spring when bluebells line the woodland paths.
Distance: 4km
Duration: 1 hour 15 mins
Walk grade: Moderate
Beach access: Easy
Directions: Head south out of Bideford on the A39 and, just after the Clovelly roundabout, take the right turn on the bend, signposted Hartland and Lighthouse. Turn right at the first turning to the lighthouse. Turn right twice more and you will arrive at Brownsham car park.
1 Come out of the car park on the far left and take the path that leads towards the woods. Go through the gate and into the trees, taking the path on your right. Follow this path for five minutes or so, then turn left onto a path that takes you down to a stream. Cross the footbridge, then turn right.
2 After another five minutes of walking, take the right-hand fork of the path downhill to the Coast Path. Turn right on to the Coast Path and follow it over the headland. Just after you exit another wood, turn left onto a track. This will take you down to Mouthmill Beach.
3 To continue with our suggested route, take the track from the beach up through Brownsham Wood, passing the track you came down on. When this joins another track, bear right, keeping the stream on your left. Continue along this track, and turn right on to another track at the top of the hill.
4 Walk through Lower Brownsham Farm, turn left onto a lane and then right into the car park
Brownsham, which consists of little more than a couple of cowsheds and a chicken coop, doesn't have a pub, so you'll need to drive down the road to Hartland for a pint and something to eat after your walk. The Hart Inn (01237 441474; thehartinn.com) is an unassuming little place on the village square, but its low-ceilinged bar area, with its dimly lit nooks and crannies, is a welcoming space. Doom Bar and a rotating selection of local ales, such as Yellow Hammer, are on draught, while the constantly changing menu reflects the ingenuity and Asian influences of the chef. Expect to see the likes of spiced grey mullet with nasi goreng alongside steak and chips. There's a large, shady beer garden, too.

These are the objects used to define what kind of terrain is available on the map of the game. Take note that the map generator is only used during the map editor. The maps "created" when starting a new game are in fact picked up randomly from the map directory. So if you want to see in action the effects of your terrain modifications, you need to use the map editor.
Related Objects
XML <EnvironmentType>: There are some information specific to environment types for each terrain.
XML <MapType>: The map generator use some information from this object.
XML <ElementalMap>: The maps are saved in that objects. Some information are saved in the map object, if you modify the terrain file there will be no effect on the saved file.
<DisplayName>: A text of string that will be shown when looking at the terrain type.
<MinHeight> and <MaxHeight>: Defines the min/max height that the terrain should have on the 3D map. The default height is 50. This is the height the cliffs will have. The sea level is at 25, so if you want terrain under the see, set it at 25 or lower. In the EnvironmentType object, there is a variable that determines the height required to have snow on the top of mountains. You might need to adjust this value. The map generator seem to use a random value between the min and map, but after many tests, it does not create very chaotic relief, there seems to be a logic in how the numbers are selected.The height has no effect on some types of terrain, especially cliffs and oceans.
<Category>: There are 7 category of terrain which each have special functions. There must be at least 1 terrain of each category in the file, else the map generator will not work.
- Land: Basic terrain type which can be used for various purpose. It includes Grasslands, Swamps and Deserts.
- Forest: The terrain is generated using the special forest algorithm and according to the number of forests define in the MapType Object.
- Mountains: The terrain is generated using the special mountain algorithm and according to the number of mountains defined in the MapType Object.
- Beach: Used to border the sea, seems to be allocated randomly around the map. There is no way to control it's occurence.
- Cliff: This is the default terrain used to surround the land of the map.
- City: This is the terrain placed under the building when the player expand his city. If there is at least 1 building in the tile, the whole tile will change of terrain.
- Water: This is the ocean.
<PassableByLandUnits>: If set to 1, ground units will be allowed to move on the terrain.
<PassableByWaterUnits>: If set to 1, sea units will be allowed to move on the terrain.
<PassableByAirUnits>: If set to 1, Air units will be allowed to move on the terrain.
<NextToWaterOnly>: If set to 1, Indicates that the terrain should be used on the edge of the ocean. But personally, I think that this parameter has no effect, it's the "beach" and "Cliff" category that is used by the terrain generator.
<MapGenPlaceChance>: In theory, it should be the probability in % for a terrain to be used. In practice, it does not seems to really work all the time. But, I have found that it is used to determine priority. So for example, you will get different results if 2 terrain are at 75% VS 2 terrains where one is at 75% and the other at 76%. So my suggestion to to consider more the priority rather than the value.
<TerrainObjectType>: There are various terrain types. It determines which cloth map texture will be used and if a city can be built. Forests and mountains are restricted. The texture file used for the cloth map is hard coded in the game.This is completely different from <Category> and yes it does not need to match the category. Consider the type as different type of "Land" category terrain.
- Desert: Used for the desert.
- Hills: Used for the hills.
- Forest: Will spawn trees on the 3D map.
- Swamp: Used for swamps
- Mountain: Used for mountains, needs to be of <category> "Mountain" for the matching cloth map texture to be used.
<GenMethod>: An optional parameter that seems to change the way the generator will create the terrain. There is currently only 1 value possible which is "Linear". This is used to generate hills and could be used for custom mountains. Else you can simply delete the parameter and it will create chunks of terrain.
Sub Object <TerrainTypeEnvData>
Under each terrain type, there is a <TerrainTypeEnvData> entry for each <EnvironmentType> object. It will define specific information for each Environment where that terrain could be used.
<Environment>: This is the name of the environment associated to this entry. If should match the internal name of the <EnvironmentType> object.
<Texture>: This is a link to the texture that will be displayed on the 3D map. The file can either be a .DDS or a .PNG. Other file types has bee untested.
<TextureWeight>: On the 3D map, the texture of the land is applied dynamically. Which means that it will blend with adjacent textures. The weight of the texture determines how much it will "eat" adjacent texture if the value is > 1 or how much it will get eaten by adjacent texture if the value is < 1. The default value is 1.0000. If you want a more aggressive texture, you can raise it up to 2. Else a texture with little impact will have a value lower than 1.
<TerrainPropData>: I am not entirely sure, but it seems to define which tiles are going to be randomly placed on the terrain. The purpose seems strictly decorative. The variable contains 2 values: Filename,probability. The filename has no extension and refers to the files located in "Elemental\data\English\Core Tiles\Props". Here is an example:
<TacticalMap>: This is the tactical map that will be used if a combat take place there. Multiple maps can be defined. I did not test if the matching maps got used. The maps are located in "Elemental\data\Maps\TacticalMaps\" and you only write the file name without extension.
<TacticalMapFortify>: Same thing than <TacticalMap> except it is used when the units are fortified.
Tricks and Tips
Trick Name: Write the description here.
Missing Land Terrain: It is possible to delete some land terrain as long as there is at least 1 "land" terrain left. This is something I did by deleting the rigged terrain. If you generate a map, the deleted the terrain will simply not appear. If you load a map, the terrain will be displayed as a white texture. So as long that all the categories are there, you can delete additional terrain.
Tactical Terrain on World Map: There seems to be a bug where the terrain defined for the tactical map gets used by the world map. The only thing that should prevent them from appearing on the world map is by setting their <MapGenPlaceChance> to 0%, but by default the terrain are not all set at 0%. So either you set them manually all to 0% or either you delete all the tactical terrain. (You will get white maps). There are no special variables that defines a terrain as a tactical terrain. Any "land" terrain can be used on the tactical map.
Forest and mountains of "land" category: It is possible to customize your own forest and mountains. There are various steps you should take. First, duplicate the forest and mountain data. Set the <MapGenPlaceChance> of the original 2 terrain to 0%. Remember that we need 1 terrain of each category for the generator to work. To prevent the generator to use the old mountains and forest, you need to set the following variables to 0 in the <MapType>:<MapStyle> sub object.
This will prevent the special generator to generate system mountains and forest. Now change the <Category> of your new mountain and forest terrain to "Land", and if you want the mountains to appear on the clothmap, set <TerrainObjectType> to "Hills" so that they at least get shown as hills. This will have various effects on the game. First, you will be able to build buildings directly on forest and mountains but you will not be able to create a new city there. Second, you will have goodie huts and shards hidden in the middle of the forest.
Increased terrain variety: After a lot of tweaking with <MapGenPlaceChance>, I often get a dominant terrain (Which means the same terrain over all the map). So to increase the variety of terrain on the map, I set the grassland to 100%. Then, I duplicated all my terrain of <category> "land" and changed their internal name to make sure they are all unique. I tried with up to 4 copies of each terrain type. This has the effect of multiplying the amount of terrain on the board and reduce the large areas where I only got grasslands.
From beaches to shore: Tired of having sand around your contient and want more greesntuff on the map. Simple, replace the beach sand texture by the grassland texture. You will get green shores everywhere.
Changing cliff to shore: There is no way to control the amount of cliff you want on the map. So if you hate cliffs as much as I do, the only way to do it is to make a manual string replacement in the saved map. You simply switch all cliff by beach and set the height to 50 (or whatever your default). Look at the <ElementalMap> object page for more information.
Removing environments: The idea of environment simply overcomplexify the maps for no good reasons. If you feel the same way, there is a way to remove them. In fact you cannot delete them without making the game crash. But you can make them all look the same way so that different environments gives the same results. Most of the modification will be done in the <EnvironmentYpe> object, but some changes needs also to be done here.
In my case, I wanted to only have grassland terrain. So what you need to to is make all terrain types as grasslands. You need to modify the <TerrainTypeEnvData> sub objects which links to the <EnvironmentType>. Leave the name of the environment intact, and copy the data below the grassland environment (or any one you prefer) below each environment types. So in the end all environment will stay there but be the same. Here is an example:

Brother and sister act - one of the several attractions
You could have heard a pin drop had we not been surrounded by sand! lol
The brother and sister team provided us with quite a show. Their abilities were astounding! Many of us were breath-taken and awestruck by it all. There were sighs of relief and gasps of borderline horror as they were performing. It was an exciting show.

Some hexies and a minor miracle
No, the minor miracle is the arrival of this box:
7 comments:
Those Tula Pink hexies are fantastic - I bet you had to pay a lot more than $3.95 to get that kit shipped to you. I don't think you can even send a box across Auckland for less that $5.00.ReplyDelete
Ridiculous! I'd be ordering more!! Rain is good writing weather and it's meant to continue all weekend.ReplyDelete
You are going to feel so free (or tired) when it is handed over! Good luck! Love the hexies!ReplyDelete
Fabric.com used to offer free shipping on your first order, or really reduced rates, so maybe that's it? I used them once and then the regular shipping was crazy so I haven't looked since - maybe I should! haha.ReplyDelete
Best of luck over the weekend with the thesis! I still remember the stress of doing the last bit of mine and it was over 3 years ago :) But seriously, it seems like an endless tunnel of slog and that it will never ever be over, but suddenly, almost when you're least expecting it, it's done.
Oh oh those hexies! Love them. Hurray for low shipping!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous hexies!ReplyDelete
Good grief!!! I cannot believe your good luck with that package!!ReplyDelete
Good luck with your thesis. I just graduated from Victoria this week with my Masters in Nursing...5 long years of hard work. I totally understand the stress and effort that goes into a thesis!!

Changed traffic conditions for night work on Goldsmith Street Goulburn
24 February 2015
Roads and Maritime Services advises motorists of changed traffic conditions this Thursday night for maintenance work to be carried out on Goldsmith Street at Goulburn.
Work will take place between Auburn and Bourke streets between 7pm and 6am, weather permitting.
The road surface will be repaired to improve safety for motorists and reduce future maintenance costs.
One lane will be closed and traffic control and a reduced roadwork speed limit of 40km/h will be in place for the safety of workers and motorists.
Minor delays may be experienced by motorists and every effort will be made to reduce the impact of noise on nearby residents and businesses.
The NSW Government allocated $130,000 for this work to provide a safer road surface for Goulburn motorists.
Electronic message signs will provide motorists with up to date information on the work taking place.
The work is part of Roads and Maritime's commitment to delivering high quality services to Goulburn residents.
