Upgradable Heroes

[[to_xp]Gekko]

nice one cyther, I'll give it a try

edit: can you include a readme to quickly know what's in? that would be great

 

[cyther]

Begining to add a complete description and will include it in the next version which will probably be for .34.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

nice, looking forward to the 0.34 version

Will this work for patch H? It says its only for G but seeing as H didnt really have any major improvements, thought it might work. If it does, will it work for the orbi mod-mod?

 

[cyther]

Upgradable heroes works for version .33 but currently I am doing some playtesting/ balance work with the .34 version. It will be released as part of a larger modmod that makes a few changes to some spells, the epic lairs, esus and adds a new civ. The civ will be based on shapeshifters and a balanced/ updated version of upgradable heroes will be in it. On the subject of orbi I believe that the mods are not compatable (not 100% sure on this) as of now but I may look into making them compatable in the future.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

sounds interesting, looking forward to it

 

[the343danny]

Sorry, I thought it said .34g, not .33. Cant wait until the two mods are compatible though.

 

[cyther]

The new version compatable with .34 is now out. It is included with my Rise of Darkness modmod but this version is just it as a stand alone modmod.

@Gekko, I will add in a readme later but I forgot to put it in just now.

Hey, if you haven't already, can you include Lucian in your mod please?

 

[cyther]

I put in a new version which is now Modular so it can be played with other Modmods.
It also includes Upgrades for the following Heroes:
1)Lucian
2)Chalid
3)Yvain
4)Tumtum

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

nice! do chalid and yvain upgrade TO their current form, or do they get even stronger? they're very very good right now

being able to upgrade lucian is sweet

 

[cyther]

Yvain grows a bit in strength and Chalid's upgrade uses metal and has more strength. I enjoy the Lucian upgrades because he can be of use later in the game and I let him upgrade into the normal unit line so his first upgrade is a battlemaster so he can become any of the Doviello unique melee units.

[cyther]

Nice catches, surprised no one else saw them. They have been there from the beginning of the mod.

I wouldn't have either if I hadn't been looking at the code for ERM.

 

[giddion]

Will it break any existing save games?

 

[cyther]

Because it is moddular if shouldn't but you might need to switch off moddular loading to use old save games.

 

[giddion]

Will the illans (wilbowman) be added?

 

[cyther]

Most likely not because I boosted Auric, but if someone can think of a good idea for an upgrade for Wilbo I would be happy to include it.
