It was too expensive before compared for only use against demons and undead. It just fits to the paladin type a lot. The damage compared to mana is worth it now. It heals own unit in a 7 cell area and damage the evils and they run away 1 tile. Did you ever use it? And for 50.000 gold... too expensive. You have to invest crystals... it heals, not resurrects btw. Perhaps it should be cheaper in case some think it is better to sell it for the money if they have it early on. 5000 gold for instance.

The shovel could be reduced, yes, it was 50% in vanilla and +1 Attack, but I have added up to 15% wall health you get from the Guardian Medal, so yes, 30% wall health would be fine. Then perhaps remove the -1 attack penalty.
Maybe you don't wanna put your name on an overpowered item? hehe

You're right. I never used such spell. But why not? If its not overpowered can be a good way to force players to test it now.

"This is an overpowered shovel made by Sirlancelot" Hahahah

Yep, better that way.

I also made ice snake with same damage as fireball and the mage start with it. Before ice snake cost 50% more maxed compared to fireball regarding to damage. Again, ghoulking s guide was very helpful since some spells I never used like life light, ice snake, poison spit, grots armor, orb etc.
With stone skin I made it 4-6-8 Mana and 2-3-4 duration. Dont know with peacefulness w 60% maxed if u find item with 10% extra strength on it. I guess it is rare u find it and I never used peacefulness before...

Uploading Tuesday v1.42 with about 8-10 new items most as sets.

Have u experienced a crash at church in jerneland? Mine is crashing 1/3 of the time the first time. Hm. Doing last test tomorrow. I will have to start a new paladin... The mage I played recently had a way too easy time with chaos dragon. It is soooo strong at level 3 even though I reduced its stats by about 5%. Well now player has to save 30.000 unless they find it for free.

Also the starting area can give elfs 1-2 (3). And even rarely undead or demons. More difficult getting level 4s else it will be fewer.

Poison spit can poison up to 6 rounds when maxed etc

How far are u sirlancelot in Trent?

Yes, it crashed one or two times. Also crashed after some battles at the snowy area. That was all, fortunately.

Lower Trent. I'll be going across the Trent dungeon in no time.

Uploading Trent version 1.42 now:


- It is more random if and when you find all 5 teeth for the combined artifact. There's a big chance, but can also be at different locations.
- A little less chests in arenas in Lower Trent (a lot in Trent arena in lower Trent because you cannot dig in the open map in that area).
- Paladin start off with a little less gold, but a scroll of Life Light which is improved btw.
- Mage start off with (improved) Ice Snake spell instead of Fireball. A more elfish start army.

Creatures:
- Faun: Crit 22% (was 15%), Price 70 (was 80 gold) else as vanilla. Changes didn't work properly in v1.41

- Target: 4-10-16 Mana (was 4-8-13), Crystal 6-10-18 (was 4-8-15). Gold 12k (was 3k or so).
- Ice snake: Improved; 10-15-20 Mana (was 10-20-30). Now it does same damage as Fireball and cost the same (except the amount of burn/freeze afterwards).
- LIfe Light: 10-15-20 Mana (was 10-20-30 vanilla). Damage grows 5% less for level 2 and 3 than vanilla.

Trying out Target with 18 mana cost at third level... With 16 there's not much of a difference. I could use it all the time.

Ok... I'd rather leave it for now in my version... but thx for testing.

Grrr, the church crashes again, tried 5 times with no problems, nothing looks wrong in editor. I remember 2 players mentioned before, and we thought it was how creatures were randomized, but it must be something else. It doesnt make sense in the editor... strange... must be some new sick KB spell 1C has casted on my, MYYYYYYY TRENT... hehe.

I try something else today.... So maybe I can fix.

. I found 3 scrolls of stone rain early . Overpowered early. They hit all enemy with 150-250 damage each.... I will change it...

[raknefne]

I managed to fix the church crash bug in Jerneland: now (in next v1.43) the church works like a castle where you can store troops and sell spells. Well I tried 5-6 times with no problems.

There's only 1-2 sets left with more than 2 items in it! So it should be easier to find, although Trent is shorter than vanilla. For instance, the

Winter Set: Only Ice Scates + Warm Mittens; bonus +1 repulsion distance for 'Crushing Blow', +10% Damage on Lightning / IceSnake / Geyser spells. It was -1 Speed to enemy before.

[Sirlancelot]

Still cakewalk. Let's see with 20 mana cost...
