I've been thinking about the Runemages and the hero special skills. Perhaps it's better to keep Runemages vanilla leadership & price and just increase their basic & destruction damage by a certain percent. This way we don't improve their resurrection and illusion talents at the same time.

About the quest to obtain all the hero special skills "for free" (without having to reach their respective position in the skill trees), I would give the player only 25% or so to have access to it. 60% seems a bit too much.

Spec skill: only skill to get is archmage skill level 1 w 10% less leadership req. U choose this or get 5 might, 5 mind or 5 magic runes. Not both. The mage can only choose the runes since he has the skill from Sprudne. Their is a 100% chance for the options in 1.53. the archmage skill cost 3-3-7 runes (0-1-6 normally). Alternatively this option for archmage skill could be only 50% of games. So Holy Armor and count attack cannot be learned by other than normal classes... It was bugged, didn't work in 1.52

Runemages: yes they can be strong w 10% that's 1620 leadership w archmage skill... Could be 45 attack as in wotn and 1900 leadership, 12000 gold... But let's w8 after tests. I have changed a lot lately..

To Sirlancelot: Bad when u are so sick u cannot play!!! ... grats on set, 2500 leadership is a big boost. Never finished a set before. In later Trents it is only 2 items for the ogre set but around 1k leadership or so, cant remember. Still let me know about difficulty in Hopland / Krasen. The final boss in Krasen especially. Shouldnt be a walkover... how much leadership do you have the the ogre set as level 23? I only finished Trent once, on Hard.

So I downloaded and started playing 1.52 yesterday. Can I just download and overwrite the files, or would I need to start again from scratch for this build?

Having a lot of fun so far.

Incidentally the Might power should be Counter-Strike not Bounter-Strike. Guess you accidentally renamed it.

Cheers,

Daniel.

Hehe, it was not an accident with 'Bounter-attack', intended, but it is bugged, doesnt work, nor does 'Boly Armor'... not sure if using 1.53 will work with your saved games, maybe... in v1.52, dont develop 'Bounterattack' nor 'Boly Armor'... Anyway I have been making so many updates, can't start new all the time... Just play

No worries!

Playing Hard as a Paladin at the moment, finding it more challenging than usual, even the supposedly easy fights aren't that easy.

It'll probably get easier once I gain a few levels and get Order and Chaos spells unlocked. (9 magic to unlock the additional scrolls pre requisite for Order magic seems harsh)

That and find more units, I have a lot of leadership due to being a Paladin with two levels of extra leadership, but I'm struggling to find enough warriors that don't hate each other. I have several under sized stacks at the moment, due to deaths in most combats.

It is not more expensive to get magic in Trent than vanilla... I guess it is either elf - human - neutral units or human- orc - neutral units early...

Wow, I'm absolutely *loving* this campaign so far: can't give enough compliments.

I'm around level 21 now, mopping up Lower and Upper Trent.

There's just one thing that has me worried :

Before I met with the dwarf that has the windmill technology, the option to enter the cellar in Lower Trent appeared. Now that I have met the dwarf the story indicates the cellar should become available and it is an open quest thing.
However I've already cleared the entire cellar (been down and up again to try if that makes a difference). Looks like I won't be able to finish this quest : will this fcuk up my playthrough ?


And one thing that has me puzzled : I'm supposed to find the head for a skeleton...but I can't find it anywhere
