Mod: Hoburg Alliance SE *UPDATE*

[Teraswaerto]

This is a reworked Dominions 3 version of my (with some help from Adept and Nekov) Hoburg Alliance Special Edition mod originally released for Dominions 2. Based on Illwinter's sample mod. No longer replaces Ulm.

Uses monster numbers 2101-2114, site number 760.

*No longer replaces Ulm! Nation number 79 used.
*Starving Hoburg has stealth and is an assassin
*Helmets and shields fixed
*Holy level for Glory of Dreams 4 -> 3
*Some other minor changes

I liked the dom2 version, nice to see it updated. ^_^

Juste a question : why did you keep the "replace Ulm" part ?
Dom3 allow mods to add new nations without having to replace an existing one.

Is there still a reason to remove Ulm, or is it just that it was easiest to keep it that way ?

[Teraswaerto]

Laziness, I guess. I'll change it for the next version, wanted to release this now that it was working with Dom3.

[Jack_Trowell]

Ok, I was thinking it was probably something like that. ^_^

Thanks for the info, ... and the mod !

Hoburgs are awesome (also crunchy and delicious, if you clean them right). I was hoping someone would mod this in.

note : some units doesnt't get all their equipment in game :

those aren't used (at least for me)

#armor "Round Shield"
#armor "Helmet"

I modded using this for now :

#armor "Shield"
#armor "Iron Cap"

the heroine Hildegard is a level 4 priest. I remind she was powerful (exept for her lack of hit points) in dom2, but not that she was priest 5 then.

Isn't she supposed to only be priest 3 now ?

About the hero "Starving Hoburg" : he doesn't get *any* item slot.

While i can undestand that you don't want him to became a perfect SC (he is already undead, immortal, etheral, but with only a few hit points the first hit can kill him), but wouldn't he still be balanced with at least 2 misc slots ?

At least an amulet of luck and another of antimagic would help him survive more without allowing him to be more than a small thug (very small indeed ^_^)

Edit : I had almost forgottent that the original hoburg mod (its very first version) was in fact an exemple mod from illwinter. As I didn't use the original version in dom2, onlye th "special edition", maybe the starving hoburg lack of item slots was illwinter decision ?

[Teraswaerto]

Thanks for the feedback.

The Starving Hoburg having 0 slots was my decision, it was that way originally in the Dom2 mod. He is immortal and has a death attack (consume soul). Maybe he could have more slots, hard to say. There were no heroes in the Illwinter hoburg mod.

Hildegard having holy 4 is a remnant of Dom2, she should probably have holy 3 now.

'Round Shield' is renamed 'Shield' in dom3
