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

[eucrysty]

also the Druids when they melee attack they have a bug... it does nt say if the enemy will counterattack them or not , only the damage they deal is shown...that s why i lost 6 of them vs spider's spiderlings.usually when only damage is shown it means the enemy will not counter , but with druids always shows only damage information.

We greatly reduced mana+rage to make game harder... Druid sounds like a text error, maybe we will change, mail me if you encounter other things about units, since we have modded all of them.

i managed to beat Runorm with my leftover army in the castles.why u told me to deposit 100k gold in guild for greenwort....it did not happened anything
and if it was for buying troops in greenworth because you have no army after fight with Runorm , well i deposit my big and good army in my castles before my fight with Runorm .now i have my old army back so for the other who play my suggestion is to make like i did , hide primary troops in nordlig and fastland's castles before fight with Runorm.

This is not an error we have made - must be an ICE and Fire error.. cause I crosschecked with the original druid file and everything seems fine.

Eucrysty - what do you think of the new creatures? there is quite a lot.. especially if you try to play the game over again.. its where the real fun comes to show in our mod - it is very replay friendly !

Different heroes, alliances, creatures and companions..

Good day
Devs, why so big size of mode (4.5 Gb)?

I've been playing as an Ice Shaper. I've recently reached Greenwort. Here's my opinion so far:

I love the new randomness, both in the skills, and the after battle rewards.
I'm not such a big fan of the tax, finding it mostly inconvenient at this point (I just have to make sure I visit a guild before I travel every time).
As far as the creature changes: I feel like you've kind of homogenized creatures, by making for instance, all level 1 creatures cost 50 lead and have 50 hp. I find level 1s less useful than I did in the base game, where using a targeted tank with a big stack of faeries by its side attacking along with +damage items was a highly effective strategy. With a 50 leadership cost, I can't really do that anymore, so I've been using the higher level creatures more instead. On the other hand, level 5s feel pretty fragile now, so I haven't used them as much as before.
The bigger variance in damage has made mass bless a really nice spell. Some of the new spells that my class can't use look neat.
The companion is nice. I'm using the archer one. Not overpowered, but still quite useful.

You might want to cut the requirements for Favorite of the Valkyries medal, since only Christa's ability is usable now.

Overall, the increased randomness has made this fun to play.

I'm glad you like it.

We are making an update of the game very very soon - with no tax. Only 1 out of 5 liked the tax, so zero tax in the future. The idea was to limit the huge amount of gold you get in a normal game, and make you think more of how u manage your gold, but I can see the point of annoyance. It will be removed! I will post in the forum when it is out.

About creatures: The idea was actually to make gamers use level 1-2 more... I do myself use Devilfish (35 Health), Cave Spiders, Fire Spiders, Spider Offsprings for 1 gold each. Actually you can't have as many level 4 as before as well as level 1. Feel free to post if you or other persons have ideas on balancing specific creatures further! One way was to lower prices for level 1's.

Some creatures like Jarl was owerpowered before, I think it is more balanced now. Generally playing Hylfire will require some new strategies.

i`ll wait the update, then i`ll continue to play, for the moment the tax is really a buzz kill .

There are so many changes, new creatures etc., it was necessary to make such a big file.
