Default Re: Underwater Gameplay Improvement Mod (UWGIM) v0.82

Played a bit more yesterday with this mod.

The female water troll (the Conjuration 2 W2, 5 W gems spell, name escapes right now) is just amazing value for the price for certain nations. Hello Bane Lord who is cheaper, easier to get, regenerates, is blessable, has massive leadership, can lead land-bound troops under water and is not undead Ok, she has pretty high encumbarance, but a minor earth-bless negates that.

Seems to me to be too good to be true, but might of course feel very differetly in a real game...


EDIT: Now that I think of it, not sure if the trollette is available from something in CPCS instead rather than UWGIM, as I had both those enabled (with CBM1.5 and the no-gem-generators -mod).

The Trollette is from UWGIM, but shes not sacred. Are you sure you don't have other mods enabled than CBM, CPCS, and no gem gens? She can only be sacred by a result of mod clash.

But yeah, thanks for the report. Due to a brainfart, I forgot to give her special itemslots (just misc slots) . I'll upload a fixed version shortly. She's meant to be tough (because her death will result in drowning of all his "guests" underwater), but not thug material.

Yes, I am positive. However, I may have had a brainfart myself, I made her prophet just to check things (you know, just to see how big HP pool she would have in Dom10 ), and of coure she became sacred and blessed from that

In the Jenga version she still has only misc slots, is this intentional now?

Other than that, I think it is much better that her leadership is toned down (as it is in Jenga version) and HP downed to 40. It's a slight bummer she can't lead magical troops though as there is now way to give her the crown (no head-slot). With a bit of experience and a Barrel of Air or Goblet of the Sea King she can lead really amazing numbers of troops under the waves.

Yeah, the 160 leadership was actually a bug (she is copystatting the Son of the Sea pretender for her amazing UW abilities). I also hit her stats with a nerf stick based on your post and slightly increased cost to make you summon Ice Drakes if you need something for combat. I'll probably give her some magical leadership in the next version, but I don't want to release yet another version just because of that. But anyways, glad to hear that shes working for your UW needs.
