Default Red Sands Extreme Mod

Red Sands Extreme mod (RSE)

Here is my modification of Red Sands, love that mod

The main goal of the mod is to give players a new experience by removing or altering the annoying things from KB in general, like some units are broken and players do not use them at all or are forced to use. Most of the unit changes were on those who are either weak for their level or have features that render them useless or impratical for players strategy. Yeah some units have got same LDR requirement but makes for the fact they were lagging behind their equivalents level. Now less focus on "no-loss" strategy since units are plenty, no-loss is still possible but optional. Of course this means you are stronger but so are the enemies, be prepared to face huge stacks of buffed up, full morale hordes.

Yes those changes seems overpowered but makes battles more fun, feel free not to use if you do not like

Now you can have Black Knights with Black Dragons, Cyclops and Plants.... guess what you can resurrect all of those.. WIN!

Major modification on "unloved units" and given them logical powerups
-Giants now hits like a truck with a 2 cell range, Quake fast reload and Resistances
-Cyclops projectile now hit all cells around the target.
More!
See all the changes below

Credits to Red Sands mod Team, got their permissions to mod their work.
Thanks to zini4_tha_grunt, bladeking77, N3MES1S, SayNt, DarkScythe for their release.

Please feel free to report any bug you find or suggestions.

You need Red Sands v1.6 full and this installs on top
RS link for those who do not have it http://kingsbounty.ru/test/red_sands...p_1.6_full.exe

Note: Packing the mod into a kfs would have been easier but it's not working.
Instructions: Backup your existing installation of Red Sands or make you can re-install if necessary.

Make sure you extracted the Red Sands mod, "\sessions\red_sands" open "red_sands_data.kfs" with winrar and extract the content into "\sessions\red_sands", do the same with the file "red_sands_ses.kfs"

Delete
\sessions\red_sands\red_sands_data.kfs
\sessions\red_sands\red_sands_ses.kfs

Copy all the files/folders from inside the folder "RedSandsExtreme" in the winzip archive into Kings Bounty Armored Princess\sessions\red_sands\ Overwriting the existing files/folders. Start a new game in Impossible mode.

Uninstalling, restore your backup or reinstall Red Sands

Red Sands patch 1.6.1 install:
I re-packaged their .kfs for simpler install since .atoms were in folders etc.
Open red_sands_ses_patch1.6.1.zip and copy all the folders inside "red_sands_ses_patch1.6.1" to "\sessions\red_sands\" Overwriting all files/folders/
Then do the same with the Red Sands Extreme1.4.zip, open it and copy all the files inside "RedSandsExtreme" to "\sessions\red_sands\" Overwriting all files/folders/

That way you keep all 1.6.1 fixes and at last you apply the RSE mod

ENJOY!

Grimeleven

Impressive, I really appreciate your work For suggestions, I've sent you a private message that about my opinion. The only thing I dont understand is how could you change the color of monster such as red knight like malestrorm and titan. Anyway, Congrat

Forgot to mention i haven't completed a game with this mod yet, obviously. So there might be balance issues or stuff OP with certain items idk i count on players to let me know.

Re-uploaded the file, i did not change unit's color, that's the work of the author of legendary warriors as mentioned in the 1st post but i'll check it out.

And i just started new game with newly installed full translated red sands . . . so what am i supposed to do now ? Start yet another game
I loved the fact that players decided to revive this game with mods, but this isnt even funny anymore Joking aside, good job and nice ideas with this grimeleven
I wonder how did you implement new items from other modes when i cant find their png files in redsandsextreme.zip that you uploaded here. In interface textures there are png for new units and their abilities, but no for new items. I ask this because i want t try to edit some items giving them lvl`s to upgrade like i said here :
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=25033
If i managed to edit 1 item and place those new png files where they belong rest would be easy, but i cant find a single item png file in my all game oflder so i have no idea how to change them I wanted to add new set from all resistance items : leather dress, magic ball when both equip to give additional 3% res to all, and -3% to enemy resistances
(reward_fire_mage_1=+5 Mana<br>Reduces enemy elemental resistances by 2%
reward_fire_mage_2=+10 Mana<br>Reduces enemy elemental resistances by 4%
reward_fire_mage_3=+15 Mana<br>Reduces enemy elemental resistances by 7%
reward_fire_mage_4=+25 Mana<br>Reduces enemy elemental resistances by 10%)
I changed fire mage medal to try this and it works, so i wanted to add -res% enemy to some item.
Help with this pls.
All this new modes change units, difficulty, spells etc but no1 try to change how items work, and there are some great items we use in game but later just throw them away since they become useless, so i wanted to change some of those to be useful later in game.
And 1 more question : if you took units from legendary warriors, and items from adventure mod why not take units form adventure also ? Champion is great unit and would fit perfectly in this red sands extreme edition.

Sry for double post, i wanted to split my question post form this. Just wanted to add my thoughts about some features in this extreme change to red sands.
Great idea to implement old ideas in new mode and gj for it.
But some things i think are to much change :
1) no morale penalty for mixed races
2) hero lvlup to much runes, i like +1 rage/mana but i think it`s enough just to remove less runes from 50+ lvl`s. I know this is much harder to play since 300% difficulty in impossible mode but who want to play imposs runes wont mean that much
3) red sands exp system max dmg +5, max health +45 . . . dmg and health to what ? i dont get it what you changed here, just asking because i`m not sure what you changed with this.
4) you changed some spells so i figured you`ll be able to add berserk to undead also.
5) as for changed unit stats ... some are nice but some are to much, but that is my thinking.

Hehe a new game yeah that's what i did ditching my level 42 lol..

Good idea on the Champion.. maybe next update. Ah the items, gave me headaches it wasn't loading properly because i had to swap them order... what gives.

You can use already existing icons for your new items, find a nice icon for your new item and use it's name tag "image=HeroItem_Addon_Ring03.png" which is "money lender ring".

Well here are the stats of new items
Destroyer Boots: +5 Intellect +25 Mana +1500 Leadership +5% all resist
Ancient Ring: +500 Leadership<br>[s]-10% Leadership requirement of all 5th level units<br>[s]+1 Morale to all 5th level units
Overlord Ring: +3 Attack and Defense to Demons and Undead +5 Attack and Defense to the Warriors of Darkness +6 Intellect -10% Leadership requirements for Undead and Demons -2 Morale to all other creatures in your own army
Rainbow Ring: +2 Attack, Defense and Intellect +5 to Mana and Rage +500 Leadership +2 Morale to all Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, Neutrals and Lizards +10% Chance of Critical Hit of all Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, Neutrals and Lizards

Edit
Fatt: the morale is so players gets replayability on trying out new strategies with units they usually never use together.
exp system value are higher in limit, +45 means it's now 50 maximum HP for a unit but i doubt it will go that much, random. Berserk, haven't thought of it but then i could go on and add all the spells, no end on it hehe.

Which unit are too strong?, i suppose some are... extreme gotta think twice before taking on those.

Level 6 creature is looking stupid. The 5 level creature's system is determined by 5 unit slots system.

I dont really understand what do you mean by 5 unit slots system, we are players and we can use any troop we want. I think it's ok having a level 6 unit which stronger than regular level 5 unit and cannot be bought from shop (do some quests or win some difficult battles) they are much more stronger so their level should be higher.
