Default Knighst of Light mod

Hi guys,

a few days ago I submitted a new mod, changing the Marignon people into an order of knights (not my invention, just to be fair - I based them upon a french comic).

I won´t be able to check the forum very often, since I don´t have access to internet easily. But I´ll be able to check the forum from time to time, so any suggestion on how to improve the mod would be really welcome.

I am going to submit a new Version soon (proper leadership values, 1 more mage, maybe a few other things). And I also have an almost ready second mod, changing Ulm into a dwarven kingdom.

I like your mod, but I think that you made most of unit (especially infantry) too cheap - they have very good armour, morale, decent attack and defence skill - so I suggest you should make most of unit more expensive

btw why there are four masters - two on chariot and two on horse?

In general - graphics looks great and I realy like climate of this mod.

good work

Black Moon Chronicles, right?
Funny, I had the same idea but alas, I lack the skills. Great. Thank you.
I'll try it this weekend.

Now...
How about modding other nations to reflect the other main participans?

(and my brain runs off...... now there was a mediocre but nice pc rts game based on black moon chronicles... mmh....I still have that here somewhere...made by cryo... what code did they use... mmh... this deserves deliberation)

If it is indeed from the black moon chronicles the price of the units somewhat reflects the "theme". However it could unballance the game. Too bad I'm at work, or I could check the mod myself now.....
The units should have decent armor and very high morale (for non magic beings), decent attack but maybe poor defence? High encumberance? Low magic resistance?

Black Moon Chronicles, indeed! And I also had the game from cryo... Not too bad, but nothing special either (by the way, if you look for it, I think you can find it at the home of the underdogs website - I got the retail copy but that was a loooongtime ago).

About the unit cost: yes I was thinking about increasing the cost of the basic trooper from 11 to 12. On the other hand, they are already quite resource-expensive, I don´t want them to become unaffordable.

About the graphics: yes I put alternative graphics for some of the units (marshal, masters), but the stats are actually the same. In this way you can choose the commander you like the most, or mix them. Maybe I´ll add some more. The graphics are in general a bit flat, but I´m not that good ad drawing, so probably I´ll leave them as they are.

And if I have time I´d like to make a mod for the other nations of the comic as well (Knights of Justice, Empire and Black Moon), but well, that takes time...

I was very happy to see your mod... I'm a big fan of "Les Chroniques de la Lune Noire"

This mod is quite excellent but I think too the troops are a little bit too powerfull or too cheap (I think a little less armor could do it...)

If you plan to put another mage, it shouldn't be too powerfull as it's only a knightly order...
But maybe you could add a Siege Weapon (their is many of them in the light armys in the comic).


Maybe if you have the time you could do mod from the other "nations":
- Black Moon (ahhh the black guards... )
- Empire
- Order of Justice
- Hordes of hell
- and why not the dwarfs and their weaponry...

A "Black Moon Chronicles" mod...
It would be great to play
