Mod Ulm Reborn v.1.7b - Updated 14th June 2009

I'm bumping this because I'm going to update it to the latest version tomorrow. There will also be updates to the CBM nations I made.

Biggest change will be that the nation will no longer overwrite Ulm Black Forest. Instead it will be titled 'New Ulm' and act seperately. It will include various fixes and maybe a new sternheld national hero.

This is just a symantics issue, so feel free to ignore me. I kinda' like the mod staying named Ulm Reborn. It would fit thematically, with the original Ulm having fallen to the dark side. Your nation can be the remnants that got out before the fall and began rebuilding anew. Like the Numenorians in the Silmarillion. I'm such a nerd.

Yeah thematically it's still being a replacement. I mean playing with Ulm Reborn and Ulm at the same time doesn't make much sense 'story wise'. But in terms of gameplay and compatbility with other mods and for playtesting purposes it's much better to have it as a seperate nation. You avoid having the national summons and spells from the old Ulm, for instance.

In the end, you still have the choice of using Ulm Reborn instead of Ulm. It's just not automatic.

Oh, I understand they'll both be playable. I just like Ulm Reborn instead of New Ulm. Like I said, it's just symantics.

Semantics, yar. Well they'll actually be called 'New Ulm, Iron Faith Reborn' in much the same way the Jomon Broken is called 'New Jomon, Broken Swords'.

Ahh...best of both worlds. Let's totally ignore the last three posts. *Walks away non-chalantly whistling*

Heh. Well don't ignore this post, because it's telling you that the new version 0.8 is attached (or will be in 3 minutes or so).

It includes balancing changes, graphical tidying up of a couple of units (notably the geboren) and a new national summon, the Sturmheld, who is A3F2. The Sternheld is now A2S2. The Sturmheld is also a multihero, giving you a little bit more variety.

And most importantly the nation is no longer a replacement, but stands on its own. That means you'll have to make new games to play it.
