EXPENSIVE v1.2 - New challenging mod for WoTN-Ice and Fire

[jorko80]

The folder is ....\sessions\ice_and_fire . Open the archive ses.kfs and and then open spells.txt . The name of the spell is devatron.
I guess I'll check it next time I play , in my last 2 games I never found it so I don't have much experience with it.

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?

Hi guys!
-Damage difference works both ways
-I think the gold song works always, as raknefne said
-Gift and runic word can be a possible exploit bug, I never used it, so I can't tell. Maybe on my next run I'll try it. You can try it on impossible and also have a feeling if it is overpowered.
-I don't remember what was "shoulder to shoulder". If it is bugged , then it is from the original game, I didn't touch it.
-Ice spikes spell is good, but in my experience it wasn't overpowered, maybe again it is the difficulty difference.
-Royal griffin is documented under point 7. I've accidently named it "Imperial"

Well, I'm actually enjoying the mod despite the fact it seems I can't beat on Impossible the first necromancer enemy hero (with a Viking, at least), you need to defeat in order to leave the first island.

I wonder how you manage to win him. He's Very Strong and I only have a couple of scrolls and level 4.

Hard however, felt rather easy to me. So it seems I'd need something between Hard and Impossible.

Yes, the enemy hero is quite strong. I'm always having difficulties with him , but I like it.
Maybe we can adjust the "Hard" option. Do you know your way with the game files? Edit the logic.txt file and change "exp" and "alead" from 2.40 to 2.60 and also change "money" from 0.25 to 0.18. That should give around 33% more money compared to "impossible"(it's 50% at the moment). You'll need to start a new game after the changes.

Where are those files located? In "data" or "sessions" folders? I guess they are inside some *.kfs compressed archive?

I defeated the hero at third attempt, anyway. Problem is, I lost all the fancy units on the process and now have an army of only slingers, vikings and simmilar cheaper units. I lack the money for any better.

And now I was beaten by Eric (facepalm) xD
