Mod MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix

Sombre · #10 July 1st, 2007, 07:20 AM

After a bit more testing and playing around, I've made some changes which will be in the next version.

Chieftan - Now only summons slave allies. The autosummoned clanrat was making him hard to use as a scout and was a bit odd.

Warlord - Now only summons clanrat allies, no 1 autosummoned stormvermin per month.

Packmaster - Now summons 4 and not 5 giant rats. Price slightly up, chance of blood magic slightly up.

Master Moulder - Now summons only one Rat Ogre ally, but is magically improved to encourage a bit of blood use.

Plague Priest - No more plague weapon. Slightly improved magic chances. Summons 3 not 4 plague monk allies. The Chantor also has slightly improved magic chances.

Warlock - No more summon allies. Slightly cheaper.

Warlock Engineer - No more summon allies. Slightly cheaper.

I have changed the summong spells so warlocks and engineers can summon either small groups of globadiers/warpfire throwers or larger groups, depending on skill. This should encourage gem gathering and research.

I have also added a new summon for pestilens plague priests - Pestilens Plague Rats - you get 3 of them for 5 death gems, they look identical to moulder giant rats, but they have a secret payload - a plague inflicting bite attack. Mix them in and surprise your friends ;]

There are two new combat spells - warp lightning and the more powerful 'powered warp lightning'. These are low level, easy casting requirement spells that do high damage. The problem is the need 1 and 2 earth gems respectively and are very unreliable.

I've also added in the screaming bell with a placeholder graphic, as a construction summon at level 8. It's pretty badass, but the balance might be way off and the graphic doesn't look too good.

I've actually decided I like the warlock and engineer graphics, so I'll just clean them up a bit and they'll stay roughly the same in future versions. Not sure about the chantor.

I'll upload 0.3 after a bit more testing today. Maybe in a couple of hours. Let me know about anything before then and I'll probably fix it.
