Default Re: beta version.0.12

The kind Dr. is one who graciously agreed to add his good name to the Epic Hero Mod, and he is one of the ones I was waiting on(no rush though guys).

In fact, I have redone Ermor's hero, since worthy heroes already had a sauromancer hero.

I have also "nerfed" a few more heroes.

1. The blood jarl no longer gets a dominion summon of frost fiends.
He does still get his ice imps and 1 blood slave a turn.

2. The fallen Angel's natural protection was lowered from 7 to 0.

So to be any type of thug, the angel will need some type of armor, and pythium does not have earth gems.

So I do not see the fallen angel being a tough thug too early in the game.

3. The elephantarch natural prot was lowered a good bit, but he was given starting armor(elephant barding).

He would have been too tough with a starting prot of 14 once he got armor on him to boot.


Most of the heroes ranged attacks are coded so they will not disappear when you give them weapons.

Attacks like Thunder Kick, Quivering Palm, and Whirling Fists are also coded and will always be an attack the hero will have, regardless of items that he is given.

The mod is still in beta. And it is still being tested for balance. Feedback is needed and appreciated.

At this time, there are no plans to expand the Epic Heroes to allow a choice.

That idea is cool, but I want to focus on tweaking the existing heroes a good bit before expanding to other ages or adding options.

Kristopher said he loves heroes.

Maybe after this mod gets out of beta and if he thinks it is a good concept, he can tinker with it as Velusion suggested.

I am extremely limited in adding unique heroes by my total lack of graphical ability.

That I have made it this far is only because of the generous nature of Foodstamp and Endoperez who have done artwork.
