Mod request - one more slot

[kadrzys]

Is it possible to make a mod which gives you one more slot for your troops?

thanks for every clue

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Actually I'm not completely sure, you probably don't have access to the required code, but even if possible I imagine it would require a lot of code editing as well as a redesign of the interface. Not to mention it would be monumentally imballanced, the game is easy enough as it is.

Well, there are always two kinds of mods ->
The ones that make it more balanced
and the ones that make it overpowered (some part of the game goes overpowered - what I as megalomaniac totally understand)

I could imagine that very good core code master could make one of the backup slots to normal slot (or even both) - would that be overpowered? Well - it is mod - it is on everyone if he/she choses to use it.

Even in the normal game I sometimes chose to have only 4 or even only 3 slots populated (hoping to get more XP), Also I believe that I have enough work already (mental/planning, physical/clicking) with 5 armies

I imagine reserve slots act much like a castle garrison that you carry around with you, so it's a bit doubtful that you could carry them to battle. And yeah, a base code master could make the necessary changes but if there were any such masters areound then all the requests in this part of the forum could have easily been fulfilled.

It's possible to make mod that would 'summon' troops from reserve This info is stored in 'army' variable and it's fully accessible.

Some ideas on this mod:
* make an icon for "Reinforcements"
* summon these troops after X turns
* summon these troops for Gold, Rage or Mana (or some else resource)
* disable this ability off when fighing bosses
* add possibility of enemy's reinforcements (increased chance when fighting against a hero)

so..if someone else wanna help me u're welcome

P.S. Maybe....it could be a replacement for Iron Fist?

Well, I have made one button manually (old-scool pixelbypixel pic) and one "steal it" style button:

I would it:

- You can call from back-up slot only limited ammount of units (as you can have there 2000 dragons... but if your leadership can handle only 4, you will get in battle only 4)
- You will pay for it (like other games have - building your own unit costs 100 money, but recruiting it by instant costs 10x more - as time penalty - no waiting, no training, you get "mercenery" - So you have to buy the units first and place it to the back up slots, than if you want them in battle - you have to pay again and even more - first than they will enter combat
- You should call them anytime you want - you are paying - you are the master

I agree to disable it when fighting bosses

I could imagine it as Iron Fist (as Lestas suggested) or even as Necromancy... it could even work differently - If using Necro Call - your reserve units would be considered as "dead" and formula for Raise Dead would apply (so if you have shamans in our backup slot- you will get vampires or necromances... ) again - your limit will be your own leadership.
