Default Re: Ulm beefed up ...

I have released version 1.01 of "Black Steel of Ulm".

Hopefully it will be available through Illwinters website soon.

Code:

README.TXT - Changes in v1.00:

All changes are given in []

-- All units get -1 encumbrance, e.g. Inf has (2) instead of (3)
--
-- All Standard Inf is STR 11 [+1] (fits it's HP 12)
--
-- All Black Plate Inf is gold 12 [+2], ATT/DEF 11 [+1], MOR 11 [+1]
-- Black Plate Pikeneer end up with MOR 12 [+1]
--
-- General MR is 11 [+2], which works out to 12.5
-- with the inevitable drain 3 ..
-- Knight Commanders are at 12.
--
-- The troops wear either "Full Chain of Ulm",
-- "Helmet" and have strat move 2[+1], or
--
-- "Full Plate of Ulm", "Black Steel Helmet"
-- and have strat move 1.
--
-- "Full Plate of Ulm": prot 17[-1], def -2[+3], enc 4[-1]
--
-- "Full Chain of Ulm": prot 14[+0], def -2[+1], enc 2[-1]
-- vs. "standard full chain"
--

--
-- Master Smith has Fire-1, Earth-2, Elemental-1 [+1] now
-- Base Encumbrance is 3 [-2], MR is 15 [+1]
-- HP 12 [+2], STR 13 [+2] ... they're SMITHES, after all ..
-- Cost 185 gold [+45]
--
-- Unit descriptions redone, to give some hints
-- about advantageous usage.
--
--
-- PD changed to build shielded inf and armored commander first,
-- priest and arbalests later.
