Again, I don't really know if you can use generic spell/item effect values... Do you? In that case, 135 is the one from amulet of vengeance and 204 is the death wail of R'lyeh's more powerful units.

I'd like to have more headroom in adding mod objects. In particular the limited number of newspells (144 - 3.23 additions) allowed doesn't let me play all the mod nations I want + Mytheolgy/Antilarium + CPCS + Holy Wars, etc. In fact Mytheology/Antilarium + CPCS leaves >20 newspells for other mods. The number of images (<1000) in a mod is tight unless splitting them up works. The limit of newmonsters is also a limit to the number of mod nations that can be played together. New weapons are very popular with modders, but there is still room even with a lot of mods. More custom nametype tables would be nice.

So how many pearls does all this cost?

I concur with Pyg with full strenght of my heart. I was simply devastated when I learned that newspells had a limit of 144 spells. I knew that supply wasn't endless, but only 144.. Damn. Just when I was really starting to get the hang of the cool stuff you can do with chained #nextspells.

I have a spell in CPCS "Curse of the Four Horsemen" that I just now realized takes 5 spells slots. I immediately started to think "Can I afford it?" do I need to change it? But it's working thematically and nicely now. I don't want to castrate my baby!

I can work with the other limitations, but this kinda brought me down. I'll probably have to tone down the amount (and quality.. nextspells are my foe now!) of spells I was intending to add to Holy War.
