/hug foodstamp The ice imp sprite was the last thing i needed to get my 1st 3 heroes finished.

Endoperez has one in the works. When we get all 4 into the the Epic Heroes Mod, we will release a beta version so the Epic Heroes can be taken for a spin.

After all the nerfs i did on beowulf, i played him a good bit and he kept dying in melee combat when his cowardly friends fled.

So I changed him some, and you can look at him in my soon to be posted beowulf 1.4.

His standard +25 was removed as it did not seem to make much difference anyway, and he was given an additional weapon, the longbow of accuracy, so he could actively participate in battle a bit more safely back with the longbows, rather then mixed in with the tower guards and wardens.


He was also given a makemonster command and he makes an entirely new thematic unit that was researched from the book Beowulf itself. The units are real, the nation is real.

Kristopher may even recognize them if he is up on his Nordic history! They are fierce, because that is the way they actually were.

The reason he was given a makemonster ability is so he can do something constructive at a castle. The casting heroes can research, hunt for gems, and forge items, a melee only hero can patrol(how exciting). So I borrowed the idea from Arrlen and he summons consistently with Arralen's Black Duke of Ulm in his Black Steel Ulm mod. The difference is Beowulf is the only unit that can summon, so it is not unbalanced.

Beowulf is the epic hero of Man, and his monstermaking ability makes him more fun, as i think the new units he summons are fun-and quite useful.
