EXPENSIVE v1.2 - New challenging mod for WoTN-Ice and Fire

[jorko80]

Hi , glad to hear it's challenging . But that's why I said impossible is not possible without knowing how the game develops.
First of all, I don't attack the spider before getting to level 15 , even 16 if I manage to do it. And that also means longer fighting with the units you choose for the spider fight - which means they will increase their rank(very important). You can't kill it with units ranked 2-3 .
Second, there were always some options to have a level5 unit in your army. I think I managed to kill the spider without level5 once,can't remember the details. My last game was with mage hero and I had level5 , so it's different from yours.
Third, you have to plan everything since the beginning,thinking exactly for that encounter and choose every skill very carefully.
Hope this helps

Yes it does. My units are all above rank level 5, though. Didn't find level 5 creatures..

Is there any workaround to make this easier? I don't want to restart, honestly. I think I could reach level 14 with several loses, but probably not more. Getting up to level 15 would imply facing "Very strong" or deadlier encounters.

I think you can find level 5 units in Merlassar and Ice Gardens before fighting the spider boss.
Edit: You can't.

There is no workaround . I think there were some lvl5 by the witch in the pirate's cave. But anyway by that time you will not have enough fights left to up their rank. So I guess restarting and planning carefully is the way to go on impossible.

To Space Knight - This mod does not allow you easy access to Merlassar and Ice Gardens. You have to beat the spider and then some more to get there.

Ok. To be honest, I still haven't played the mod (planning to), so I just took a guess.

You can always use this cheat: Have a stack of Witch Hunters in your army. Cast the talent that gives damage each time enemy uses a skill, cast it on the big spider. It dies in 1 round... it's a vanilla bug. I don't know if jorko80 fixed this, though. I used it in vanilla.

Hahaha , awful BUG . Never heard of it. I'll fix it in the next version of my mod.
Thanks raknefne!

Haha, I've got it!
