Ultimate challenge file modified
Special thanks to Ecania for making this awesome mod. After long pause I'm playing Kings Bounty again. Red Sands Extended included Ultimate Challenge file, that felt too easy for me. Basic settings were:
exp=4.0|4.0|4.0|4.0
alead=4.0|4.0|4.0|4.0
spexp=1.8|1.8|1.8|1.8
money=0.4|0.4|0.4|0.4
rage=0.7|0.7|0.7|0.7
manarage=0.5|0.5|0.5|0.5
I made it bit harder but still it was too easy. After that I made some modding in many ways trying to maintain same gameplay, just much harder. For main settings, about the only way to keep game challenging until end is to heavily restrict experience, rage and mana gains:
exp=4.0|4.0|4.0|12.5
alead=4.0|4.0|4.0|6.4
spexp=1.8|1.8|1.8|5.0
money=0.4|0.4|0.4|0.4
rage=0.7|0.7|0.7|0.1
manarage=0.5|0.5|0.5|0.1
Other notable changes include:
- Island difficulty (k_lead) increased, harder opponents on every island
- Increasing that setting seem also give much more leadership from banners
- Spellbook size is about 300
- Box radar is enabled
- Enemy troop relative strengths (invincible and such) modified
- Asmadeo slightly modified
- Asmadeo max level Amelie level +50
- Some overpowered spells (like Phantom, Turn back time, Target, Stone skin) more or less modified
Seem to work very fine. Currently conquering Verona. Amelie level 23, pet dragon level 33, Asmadeo level 40, leadership (without any items, Asmadeo not free) 11 682. And there is still much challenge.
Tested with following settings:
- Mage
- Impossible difficulty of course as settings are modified only for it.
- No losses challenge, meaning no single unit lost on any fight (training session is very hard without luck, feel free to cheat there)
- No use of wanderer spells
(- not included in files because cannot modify after recruiting companion: disabled Mkaborets comanion's magic shackles, modify companion.txt and raise mana cost of it to 51 if want to try)
Feel free to add more challenge modifying boss strength on logic.txt
bossatk=2.6|2.6|2.6|2.6
bosshp=5.2|5.2|5.2|5.2
Install:
