Impossible can be very easy when the unbalanced spells and abilities,that I wrote about, are used. I usually play a mod for The legend and Red sands, which cuts all such things, but it's in russian. I also made a very big mod for Warriors of the north, which also makes the game harder, but it is also in russian. Maybe someday I'll translate it to share it here

OMG, I didn't see this. Please find someone who translate it or do it yourself!! I would even pay for it. Seriously. Specially for the mod which change WotN, as I have played Crossworlds recently.

By the way, if you know of a populated/active thread or discussion which the developers read and take into account, I would like to know about it and comment. I have played Crossworlds and The Legend for more than 1900 hours, so I think I could provide honestly very useful information.

Fire spiders: it is noted! It is a little strange IMO if it can burn in ranged attacks...

I forgot reply to this, sorry. Yes, and for balance reasons, that 20 or 15% should be enough.

Building with Hyllewald Hylbaek: Yes, not intended to reach before the fight. Noted.

Engineer: Good point! Yes, still OP. It's noted for version 1.2

I see that holy damage in Trent War is supposed to do +150% more damage to undead and demons instead of double damage. Is that correct?

Bug (unless working as intended):

Human trait "Personal Enemy", which implies +15% more damage to the first opponent who harms the human unit, resets after every battle. That means in practice humans are always doing +15% more damage to some of their opponents.

I haven't touched these 2 things. It must be a vanilla bug... I checked Inquisitors, the code says 150% holy...

About the building 'Pirate House' with the Royal Griffins: In 1.1 there is only a 30% chance of getting 5-8 level 4's and it can be either orcs, neutral or dwarves. I lowered it though for version 1.2.

Beholders: In the code it says
custom_params {
sleep=50
dod=no
duration=1
special=1
}
Not sure where to change your suggestion to lower the chance for putting lvl1 to sleep, in the beholder-file it says 'sleep=50' but not the chance for each level. I must admit, I don't use beholders so often. Anybody knows where to change that?

I made changes to 2 Creatures which can be downloaded and will work in your current game:

Fire Spider: Only 15% burn chance when Spitting Fire (still 30% in melee).

Ingeneer: Can only cast the Shock Grenade (blindness) once and cannot make more potions! The Shock Grenade range is 6 (was 7). His flame in 3 range is 15% stronger. Leadership as in vanilla (380 again). Price is 1250 (was 1850 in Trent and 1150 in vanilla). IMO it is more balanced now. The price and leadership is still arguable I guess. Feel free to comment. I guess the amount of Summoning could be reduced a bit?

Download: Ingeneer and FireSpider.zip
The file ingeneer and spider_fire goes to Trent\Trent.kfs\Creatures, the last just goes to the Trent\Trent.kfs. Very important that you overwrite, if you don't see it overwrites, it won't work and probably crash.

Great. Let's see them in action!

How can I open Trent.kfs folder? It seems an archive, not a folder.

Let me try him for a while and I'll see how it goes.
