New Mod Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Babies!

Oh no - those poor Shamans!

Well Gurnisson gives bonuses to all Orcs so that counts and don't forget Orcelyn herself!

You know, if you wanted to do it right, Tyraxor would be the perfect candidate since he only gives bonuses to Catapults - I could easily see having him include Shamans there (@ level 4 unit bonuses - look at Jabarkas for example of difference between level 3 Orcs and level 4 Veteran Orcs bonuses). Also Vey and Boragus both give bonuses to Ogres (since they both gave bonuses to Ogre / Ogre Magi in HOMM3), but one of them could be considered as an alternate for switching to Shamans. Boy, I'd love to see Ogre Magi - anyone want to work on a skin for them?!

I think I like Tyraxor as the better choice for the Shaman bonuses.

By the way, if you're wondering, all the kids unit bonuses (for the most part) will be the same, except you'll include their "like" unit in AP / CW.

So, for example, Gretchen will include Goblin Shamans since she has Goblins / Furious Goblins, and Jabarkas will include Orc Trackers since he has Orcs / Veteran Orcs...

There's a few new unit classes (like Droids, for example) that I'll have to pick someone who doesn't have a standard unit class bonus (i.e. Gurnisson's "unit skill" is the Ballista and so I had great flexibility with his unit bonus - that's why it went to all Orcs).

By the way, in my CW playing I've noted some more things I'm going to change sooner or later in my TL mod, including: 1) Cyclops - give them an ability like knocking units unconscious (they are throwing rocks after all - ouch!); 2) Gizmo - I haven't released this yet, but I've made an improvement to the Gizmo AI in CW that I think works even better than what I did in TL; 3) still need to add mana burn to EGD's; 4) a few other things that escape me at the moment...

Thanks for pointing out the missing Shamans! So many units and so many babies - hard to get them all!

Just joking Matt, but yo really did miss shamans in whole orceling babies file. I added them in my game, but try to fix this in dl file you post.
C ya

Tyraxor now also adds bonuses to Shamans (equivalent level 4, ranged bonuses - I already had a placeholder for this in TEMPLATES.LNG, but apparently never used it until now).

This will be provided in the next H3B update (which will hopefully be soon)!
