Conceptual Balance Mod 5.4

[Cainehill]

Ouch! Is it really intentional that some "heroes" have a morale of _8_??? Broken Empire Ermor gets Zirru the Grand Thaumaturg who's fairly decent - but I find it hard to believe that any national hero is supposed to have morale 8. Unless maybe they're hobbits, or otherwise mentioned as being cowards.

no it doesn´t make much sense. He has a morale of 7 actually in the base game and I overlooked that incredibly low score when making the hero mod. Should be fixed to 13 or 14 if a new version gets made . Thanks for pointing it out.

[Cainehill]

Yeah, I checked it last night and even in the base game he comes with 7 or 8. Think it's a bug of sorts.

Any idea on when an "official 5.1" may be finished? Q.M.? Not badgering, just wondering if it's in the works.

The attachments on first two posts have been updated to the latest version. Readmes are still unfortunately 5.0 until Edi returns or someone takes up the project.

Highlights of 5.2:

*Boots of flying bug fixed

*Vine whip and star of heroes rebalanced, no longer AoE

*Hammer of the mountains now 100 damage unique artifact

*Minor nerfs to vine people (men and ogres slightly less prot, ogres and kings slightly less HP, kings cost slightly more)

*Treelords once again immobile

*Supplies and resources somewhat more common

*Amulet of vengeance, knife of the damned, star of thraldom, star of heroes, horn of valour, whip of command, and champions skull are all now trinkets

*Wraith sword is now 15 damage

*Wyverns are now 5 gems

*Demon Jester's AN weapon toned down to 1 damage

Sounds like some excellent changes. Thanks for the work, and all the discussion and testing that went into it.

Unless going against a 30+ defense SC - whiff! Whiff! whiff!

Cool! Thanks Quantum - have a happy new year!

There appears to be a bug with resources in the new version. Troops that one should have enough resources to build remain in the queue. Watch this space for details, and for 5.3 (sigh).
