Red Sands Mod/Add-On Discussion - potential SPOILERS

[Fatt_Shade]

It doesn`t matter what version you have, just check your game folder and find red sand that you downloaded from some link in this tread. In that folder you`ll find winrar archive and opening it it contains all files i mentioned.I just unrared it in my game sessions/red_sands.
As for your question about some translation missing it`s still not all finished, we all hope that final english version will have all chat translated properly new companion/quests etc.

The file I downloaded was an set-up exe file. Do you know a link to the RAR file such as the adventure mode.

File you dl-ed, like rest of us, is instalation file and it will instal itself in your game folder. Find in your Kings Bounty Crossworlds folder, red_sands, and inside should be red_sands winrar archive. After extracting that archive in same dolred you`ll find all files that make this mod. Most are txt files describing units/skills/items etc, and mostly selfexplanatory companion files for companions you can hire, chat, quest,items etc. Atom files are function for game mechanics, and function of unit skills/abilities and such.
So just find red_sands folder where you instaled your game and extract winrar archive you find there, and check files you want to. If your not sure about moding some files I recommend not to, because you can some things in game to stop working.

When do your Asmo get pass your hero by level? my level ratio Asmo:Hero is only about 1:2 And do I really have to use Ritual skill to get him level up faster ? Cause I don't have strong undead in my army, Cursed ghost is the best I have...

[sdshadow]

Ritual Skill is not really useful to level up a solo Asmodeo, to low XP for using it one time a battle. Later on if you can use it 3 times (with 3 Points in it and the skill Summoner at Mage tree) and you can heal yourself (=Asmodeo) with it, it is quite good, but only for the heal, 30 XP for one use at a time that you get 3000 XP with one attack is not good.

But you can make one or two Level (not level of Asmodeo, Level of the skill - it is not one singel Level of Asmodeo that you can make with it if you use it every fight at the first island), but at the beginning you don´t have any undead unit at the first Island and later on it is really not good, a attack is better to level up, because later on you get a chance to attack again after a attack and you can e.g. make 6.000 XP instead of only 30 XP with one Ritual.

Till Level 3 of the hero you should have the same level at asmodeo, after this asmodeo has always a higher level. But only if you use only him for battle and no other unit, because with other units that are beaten (Asmodeo gets XP if a enemy attacks him) or if you attack with other units you rob him many XP.

But if you make all non fighting quests at the beginning and make your hero level 17 bevor you fight anything it can be that Asmodeo is long time lower level

It`s as sdshadow said, mystic ritual is almost useless. Keep it on 1 lvl so asap you can pick some undead unit you use it in end of battle before killing last enemy. It gives insignificant exp comparing to normal attack or disurraption ray/lightning attack.
Get some lvl`s on vampirism/regeneration for asmo and jump in enemy troops because he get riciculous amount of exp being hit, retaliatting and attacking also, while with rest of army pick up chests and mana balls (good units in start are couple of ingusitors to generate rage for making walls/digging chests, or archmages to get guardian angel medal). Later use mana to get other medals fire mage/iron warrior/holy knight depending of your hero class. And casting pugmy/doom on enemy gives more exp for asmo no idea why.
Use asmo to kill most of enemy troops, and he`ll get more lvl`s then your hero before clearing debir and later from verona he can get 300-400 exp per attack in,same for being attacked and with unstoppable skill, can get 2k exp per round which is sick. Hero on other hand get 1500-2000 exp per battle in verona. There asmo will be at least 5-10 lvl ahead of hero. But this get boring very fast

It is pretty sad/funny that my particular game run only let me get to vampiric 30%/150 per bite at level.... 18 or so.

Truly bad luck. Although, I suppose thankfully I did get titan semi-early.

So, only now is Asmo "somewhat" capable of quasi soloing. The idea is to definitely get to do multiple attacks and leech back a lot of your life.

The +HP/round is perhaps one of the best options (which I only got at like maybe level 10?). I could have gotten the 30%/cap at +500 HP one, but considering I only have 1200 HP, it didn't seem to make much sense compared to vampiric.

I also noticed that Pygmy is not available yet (I am on Montero, level 17, and my Asmo is level 21). Although the Dagger of Judgment is on Verona... hmmm. Perhaps I should have spent more rage on digging up chests, but then again, I had few, if any + rage items at all for the longest time.

I picked the Stone Wall pet dragon, but I really should have picked the Blue one (+1 initiative to dragons and animals) since i needed (and still need) the transitionary units. Ah well. Why waste two rounds on a stone wall which dies in one hit around the 2nd island? <shrugs>

I do have two boots of the Snake though. Throw that in with the Gorgon and you got yourself quite a nice army and perhaps the only way I was able to salvage the game. (I have level 3 summoning too, so this is a nice treat).

However, I got some the level 2 Archmage skill so rune mages are easier to procure with my pitiful leadership. Just got phantom, so hopefully I can use that to heal spam up my Asmodeus so he can get more aggressive and gain levels even faster.

Right now, I still have to soften the enemies a little bit so they don't take him out so easily.
