HYLFIRE: New huge mod for WoTN - Ice'n Fire

[raknefne]

I'm currently playing 1 of 15 hero types, The Lightbringer, which is like a Mage with some Order spells in spellbook from start. The spells are level 1 from start and I have upgraded some. A new spell, Acrimaldo's Healing, which has double power as normal Healing, is a spell only he has learnt from start - it costs 1k crystals for other heroes to learn, so they only use it to cast or sell. Furthermore all his troops have +10 Health (not percent but just 10 Health). It might look overpowered to have these spells from start, but it is also random when you will get the opportunity to learn 1 of the 4 Magic Skills.
Each hero have different charistica to get the feeling you are playing very different heroes, for instance the Soul Wanderer has a new spell that copies enemy troops!

I'm current level 8 and in this game I have plenty of gold on the Hard difficulty. I have put 100k gold in the Guild which works like a bank. 100k is the maximum you can store in the Guild. As a Lightbringer I have a small chance after fight to get +1 to all troops in army, which ofc saves gold too.

After fight you have a chance of receiving different bonuses, I just earnt interests from my savings in the Guild, about 12% of the 100k which is 12.000.

Another way of getting gold is random bonuses after fight from Acrimaldo, this time I choose the 2.500 pr hero level which is 20k gold - this is a rather rare choice.

Each game are very different because of the huge amount of randomness, in one game you feel you can barely make it with gold, other times, it's more easy.
There are no random generator to make maps as in Heroes of Might and Magic 3, so making a lot of random stuff happening is our way of getting as close as possible to a "random generator".

Have fun!

hello.thanks for replies.sorry i did not answer , i was gone on a vacantion but now i'm back.i'll keep you updated about the game.
And i play on impossible and not hard because enemy are stronger and i like strategy and tough battles.the only incovenient was money reward from battles vs tax system.now i changed it +5% so i think it will be ok.

I'm glad to hear u are back, I thought you had given up... U are helping to tune the mod, finding the last mistakes/balancing, thanks. Anyway items with +gold after battle helps too.

[eucrysty]

yes i found one item for gold % , casquet of gems so for the moment it's ok with gold , also i managed to beat the enemy guarding map of istering so i can test that island too.

Good to hear. Don't forget to Donate to Christa when you can for extra gold pr. battle too. I'm currently having a run on Hard as Lightbringer Mage. I have been lucky with getting or buying items with +gold pr battle. It is very different from game to game, this game gold is very easy for me, other times it is harder and I have to be easy on gold. Level 13 now.

hello.so far i found some bugs when speaking with some npc ,1 in the Isterreng with the smuggler , 2 in ice gardens .
Also there is no guild in Isterreng or Ice gardens .

[raknefne]

The Smugler yes, couldn't change that "white text bug". Aware of that. After a 1 year or more with testing ... we decided that a few text bugs was not so important near the release, but it is noted for an update.

We decided not to put a Guild on Istering... BTW the Boss Spider is more manageable now, was very strong before compared to early game.

Ice Garden: LOL, I have never figured out how to get there... so that has not been tested or modded or anything!!! Been playing with what I was used to, just found it now - sailed back to Merlassar and found Dinrin. Thx a lot!
