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

[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 .

Please, tell a few words about companions. Where are they located, how much of them, and are any Valkyries?

[raknefne]

In Hylfire you will find a companion on Nordlig Island at an obelisk. You will get a random choice between 2-3 companions, there are 8 in all and description of stats etc are written when you choose the companion:

- Royal Dragonfly: Huge fly (see first 2 pictures below, +10 Defence flies, summons 2 different kind of flies after battle)
- Trick Shooter (see 3rd picture, +5 attack creatures that fires arrow)
- Stranded Whale (can summon Devilfish, +5 Defence all Devilfish)
- Scary Abonimation (can summon Cuddly Abonimations / cast spells / +20 Defence Cuddly Abonimations)
- Queen Spider (cast web nextto / summon Spider Offsprings in battle and after / +10 Defence Cave Spiders and Spider Offsprings)
- King Spider (throws web at distance!, +5 Defence level 1-3 spiders)
- Black Hound (poison round attack, preperation, +10 Defence Hyena/lvl2 Wolf)
- Ancient Ent (summons Ents, shoots wasp, +3 Health all units).

In the 2nd picture: A big yellow Royal Dragonfly companion. If it dies it resurrects for next battle automatic. Only 1 in stack but grows in Health/Def/Att/Talents etc when the hero levels up. The companion takes up a place with the valkyries, and only one Valkyrie will be there in the whole game, Christa. In the picture an Iron Ball has also been summoned, it is the Blacksmith Hero that has developed a skill that summons Blacksmith stuff (see earlier post).


Example of stats for a companion (Royal Dragonfly):

The evolved stats shown in the last 2 pictures is stats added since level 1. You will normally not be able to fight the guards at the obelisk before you just reach level 3.

Most of the companions encourage player to use lower level units.

Who take other free slots?

[raknefne]

Nobody. They will remain free. It was not possible to use them when having the companion, Christa and Acrimaldo as the prime

In the version 1.1 there are NO sailing tax except at Western Freedom Island. To cancel that tax until we maybe make a version 1.2, download attached zip file. It contains 3 files that should be put in the following directory:

... steam \ steamapps \ common \WoTn \ session \ ice_and_fire \ locations \ map_island_1

They shall owerwrite previous 3 files. You might wanna make a copy of WoTn directory first(?)
