Red Sands Extended Released

[Ruthless Reuban]

Much bigger overhaul this time. Now this should be so hard that player is required to use every means available to complete game. Just like Impossible difficulty description puts it.

General:

- Amelie gets more leadership from levelup (returned to normal)
- Leadership gained from banners decreased a lot (returned to normal)
- More starting crystals (because Asmadeo "dies" a lot at beginning)
- Bit more starting mana and rage
- Spell book size is now about 1000 (practically unlimited)
- Asmadeo slightly better

To make first islands better balanced:

- Much more money (0.7 vs normal 0.4)
- Experience divisor 14.2 (was 14.0)
- Enemy strength 7.0 (was 6.6)
- Pet dragon experience 6.4 (was 5.2)

Location changes:

- Shettera and Reha are now much harder
- Blue collar tomb Magic spring next to trader could no longer give +11 defense

Spell changes:

- Phantom spell slightly weaker
- Call of nature mana cost decreased
- Slow spell mana cost increased

Army changes:

- Legendary Phoenix has much less defence and health

Rules same as before

- Impossible difficulty of course as settings are modified only for it.
- No losses challenge, meaning no single unit lost on any fight, including Mages tower fights. Note that Asmadeo cannot "die".
- Completing training session in Debir start is very hard without luck, feel free to use cheats there. Perhaps easiest way is to modify config/spells.txt and modify spell_fire_arrow damage to 1200. Remember to mod it back to 70 after completing training.
- No use of wanderer spells

Install:

- Install Red Sands extended (can be loaded from http://www.mediafire.com/file/1jfom0...ended_0813.rar )
- Make backup of ...red_sands\ directory
- Zip file now contains four directories. Extract all directories to ...red_sands\ directory (so that files on directories overwrite old files) and overwrite
- Start new game

Game works now, played it and it's OK.

One problem. Can't get camera to work. Battle camera works fine, but exploration camera doesn't. I can't get it to work in the normal game either,don't know why.

I have this: mod_cw13_orcs_eng_camera in the redsands/mods folder. But it seems like it doesn't work. How to fix it? Can't play with stupid standard camera, makes my head hurt...
