Heh, I think is simply because not enough people complain. I'm 99% sure Katauri did playtesting enough to know for certain which spells were OP or UP. It's just they didn't find necessary to put more time and effort on balance them.

It's the same with the AI. People nowadays are still mostly obssesed with graphics. It's about time to react and change priorities, though.

Do I need to start a Warriors of the North standard campaign or an Ice and Fire campaign? I guess the second contains the first (like Crossworlds contained Armored Princess), but I want your confirmation.

Will it be compatible with the spanish translation of the game, or do I need to play WotN in english?

Hype begins!

I think that if the game starts, it will work ok.
You have to start an Ice and Fire campaign and you have to play the english version.
I bought all KB games on GoG and tested an earlier version of the mod on a steam cracked version, it worked back then. I hate Steam and all the checks and additional programs it requires and the internet connection dependability. I hope the mod works for you.
To Raknefne : You can't make everybody happy, that's true. But if you like the general idea of a mod, I guess you'll be able to enjoy the game. Actually vanilla WoTN made most people unhappy - hence modding . And the mod I've made mostly for myself - to be able to enjoy this game.
About the song medal - the song skill is powerful anyway and the new difficulty to obtain the medal kinda balances itself. I think I managed to get it to level 2 , never focused on it though. There are many things to have in this game and you can't have it all, that's my idea. Focus on what you want and what strategy you chose.

Great. It worked. But know I wonder, Viking or Skald? I liked the leadership of the warrior in previous iterations of the game, but if possible, at the same time, I would desire its high attack. I don't care at all about rage powers, prefer the kind of spells that buff up your army; Precision, Haste...

By the way, does in WotN exist an skill like the Warrior one in Crossworlds which allows the characters to retaliate several times?

[Sirlancelot]

It seems jorko80 is not as active as raknefne. Well, time to wait patiently I have chosen Skald for now.

Hi Sirlancelot! I've read what you wrote, but I thought you could figure it out yourself by looking the skills in the game . I don't think there is such skill.

Is this true also for the reversal (avoiding damage)? (ie: defense) I hope so, it would give a good reason to developing defense.

Target seems still quite relevant (decisive) on Hard, I'm gonna start an Impossible run to check the differences.

PS: The song which increases gold income after battle and initiative, does it also give such extra money if the fight last longer than the specified turns its played?

[Sirlancelot]

By the way, don't you think Gift or Runic word should be nerfed so the former couldn't be exploited?

Possible bug: Jarls "Shoulder to Shoulder" ability doesn't seem to work on Berserkers.

I think the song w gold doesn't matter how long it last.

I think ice crystal spell is OP... 6-12-18 Mana is cheap. Perhaps increase with 50% in mana. U can block everything and just have shooters...

Good to know. Thanks.

Are you playing with a mage, rak? Well, with a Soothsayer.

I see Royal Griffins have got a new talent unlockable at rank 5. I think this change is not documented on page 1.**

I concur, and I'm playing on impossible.

What file I need to change to edit its mana cost? (and where that file is located)
