HYLFIRE: New huge mod for WoTN - Ice'n Fire

[raknefne]

Pic 1: At the start castle in Nordlig I have to make a choice about what race to have as an alliance. The alliance choice results in a 10% less leadership requirement and troops of that race for hire at the castle. Floki still has Vikings for hire, he is at a random location on Nordlig - and sometimes he is not there. On Vestlig I can hire from my alliance at King Haucks place along with Vikings in the other huts:

Pic 2:
After leveling up, these 3 skill choices came up... what to choose??
I only have 4 Mana and 12 Rage from start as Warrior, but Learning... hm... and a Magic School. I did choose Learning, but a tough choice...
After choosing a skill I can start putting Runes in, not before.

hint : if you want to hire cuddly abomination troop in the future choose as a race : Neutral . you will have 200 cuddly in greenworth.This troop can do insane amount of damage if you have more then 10.
I choosed dwarfs as a race and had only 1 cuddly in entire game but i managed to make more of them with sacrifice and warrior maidens.Now i have 25 and they make damage 10 000 - 90 000 the trick is that they can cast spells 50% of the time and 50% it fails , and from the 50% that works you have 15% chance that spell to be damage dealing spell. Usually they cast weakness or slow or decrease morale. The chance to inflict that damage is small... but it is worth it

it is random what you will have at Greenworth... the main castle is your alliance, the other 2 houses are random units. Are they owerpowered or just fun? Hehe, you were complaining about Cuddly being useless... but no problemo! BTW if you want invite me as friend on Steam, same name raknefne.

I have just started a Warrior lvl5, Blacksmith, twice after fight he crafted a level 1-3 item... I have the Royal Dragonfly Companion that gives +10 Defence to the 2 kind of flies and also gives a random amount of them after fight. So I use 1 or 2 of them. I had troop talk after fight, and the green flies have a 50% of turning into green dragons (1 out of 10 succeed, and nomatter outcome I loose the whole stack of flies). So I have 4 Green Dragons now, can only have 1 with 750 leadership.

We have added troop talk after fight to most level 1-3 creatures... too much to post all of them...

Chaos Dragon can give Chaos Magic Skill (50% chance)
Guardsmen (lvl3 human), can give +2 Defense once
Slingers: Quick Draw or +1 Attack once

etc

overpowered not because only 15% of the time you can do damage with them and also the enemy have 5 stacks of troops even it's only 1 type like zombies .if it had only 1 stack like 2500 zombies and u cast an axe spell with cuddly and kill them all only then it would be op but it is not the case since all enemies have 5 stacks of troops.

i post a new item that i think you added in the mod

[raknefne]

I just added text to previous message while you typed this...
I can't remember about the item, we might have changed some stats, it was like ½ year ago...

I just sneaked in a jail on Vestlig and grapped the free Jarl before the fight. The Ingeneer was a free one from Nordlig (there are always 1 random lvl 4 joining near the Shiphouse). The 2 Royal Thorns was 12 Gardeners that changed into Royal Thorn after troop talk. I have the Human alliance and bought 2 Inquistors. I use to have a stack of flies in battle, but the 45 green ones changed into 4 Dragons also after troop talk. Luck! On Vestlig I was lucky with 5 free Warrior Maidons but havent used them, I dont need them yet... I'm testing a beta game with 350% enemy and 5% gold after battle - just for the fun. I have 40k in guild already. Gold is rarely a problem for me, but I know all the little miracles in the mod since I made it... I might go back to Nordlig to the new building, Hall of Heroes which will double my troops if I can beat the same army as mine but double in size... I can only do it once, and I don't really need it, because the Ingeneer is sooo tactic.
BTW the level 5 are weaker in this mod, so it is not overpowered with the dragons, they only have 350-450 life.

on hardest difficulty strategy is GOLD ! also troops that can summon also very important. if you taste the joy in winning extremely hard battles then you will love the highest difficulty setting in this game like i do .
