The other fields/parameters of Impossible are fine.

It's only up to you. Play the game in the way it suits you. Actually, I can't even do something about that anyway
And yes, Logic.txt is the file.

But... I don't know what exactly needs to be changed in order to set the game per described above.

Let's see:

difficulty_k {
exp=0.6|1.4|2.2|3.0 // êîýô. ðàñòÿæåíèÿ òàáëèöû îïûòà ãåðîÿ
alead=1.2|1.8|2.4|3.0 // êîýô. ëèäåðñòâà âðàãà
spexp=0.8|1.2|1.6|2.0 // êîýô. ðàñòÿæåíèÿ òàáëèöû îïûòà äóõîâ ÿðîñòè
money=2.0|1.4|0.8|0.2 // êîýô. ïîëó÷åííûõ äåíåã
rage=2.0|1.4|0.8|0.2 // êîýô. ïðèõîäà ÿðîñòè â áîþ
manarage=2.0|1.0|0.80|0.5 // êîýô. ïðèõîäà ìàíû íà êàðòå, à äëÿ ÿðîñòè ñêîðîñòè ïàäåíèÿ

start_gold=5.0|1.0|1.00|1.0 // íà÷àëüíûé êîýô. çîëîòà
start_crystals=5.0|1.0|1.00|1.0 // íà÷àëüíûé êîýô. êðèñòàëëîâ
start_mana=2.0|1.0|1.00|1.0 // íà÷àëüíûé êîýô. ìàíû
start_rage=2.0|1.0|1.00|1.0 // íà÷àëüíûé êîýô. ÿðîñòè
start_rune_might=3.0|1.0|1.00|1.0 // íà÷àëüíûé êîýô. ðóí ñèëû
start_rune_mind=3.0|1.0|1.00|1.0 // íà÷àëüíûé êîýô. ðóí äóõà
start_rune_magic=3.0|1.0|1.00|1.0 // íà÷àëüíûé êîýô. ðóí ìàãèè
start_book=3.0|1.0|1.00|1.0 // íà÷àëüíûé êîýô. ðàçìåð êíèãè

bossatk=1.2|1.8|2.4|3.0 // êîýô. àòàêè áîññà
bosshp=1.2|1.8|2.4|3.0 // êîýô. æèçíè áîññà

deadmoney=3.0|2.0|1.7|1.5 // êîýô. ïîëó÷åííûõ äåíåã çà ïîòåðè â áîþ

boxradar= 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 // äîáðÿêè íà ðàäàðå
}

--> money=2.0|1.4|0.8|0.2 --> money=2.0|1.4|0.5|0.2

Right?

Do I need to modify anything else?

2.0|1.4|0.8|0.2 means:

200% Gold on Easy
140% Gold on Normal
80% Gold on Hard
20% Gold on Impossible

You have to change 0.2 to 0.5 if you want to modify Gold on Impossible. Thats the only thing needed.

[Sirlancelot]

Thanks, Molder. For now I'm trying to cope with Impossible default parameters, though. It feels exhausting yet rewarding.

[Sirlancelot]

Hi again. I'm doing my best to get money and survive. And consequently, now that I face a certain famous novice I wonder, would recruiting a pack of pirates, sea wolves and mustache pirates =P be a good idea to both defeat my opponent and obtain gold on fights ahead? Or I'm thinking nonsense?

Not sure this will give lots of money in version 1.4.1. I worked on scripts for mining gold in battle in 1.5, that's where the amount will really be more serious.

I'm afraid that in your case, the pirates' losses may exceed the possible income from such tactics, although sometimes it will make sense.

For good earnings per battle, artifacts with gold bonuses are best suited, compared to units for sure.

[Sirlancelot]

Yeah, that's what I feared. Perhaps Assasins or other non specialized gold diggers units with good survivality would be actually a better deal.

Currently I'm using Marauders with discrete, not that good, results. They're much better than in previous Kings B. iterations, but is really difficult to keep them alive on certain battles. Which of course translate into a poor trade-off regarding gold/finances terms.

Trade skill first rank is helping me out a bit, but casualties of both Skeletons & Skeletons archers, Marauders and common Imps are so many, I feel more like a beggar than an adventurer haha =P
And this way Fat cat / Grand strategian medals are obviously out of equation as well.
