Mod: Temeria, Resurgence of the Witchers

[Juzza]

Tick tock, tick tock, goes goes the modding clock. I'm working on this again.

[Juzza]

I've posted preview of the sprites. I'm wondering if you think that the shields are too bright. I have Action sprites for them all but can't be bothered uploading those atm.

The top left is the Witcher Sprite. Here's their stats they are pretty nasty possibly too nasty. Any thoughts?

#descr "The Witchers of Kaer Morhen usually begin as an orphan child or a child offered in payment for a witchers service. They are trained from when they are young and subjected to various herbs, stimulants and magical concoctions, known as the trial of the grasses, which is excruciating painful. Reportably only four in ten Witchers survive the trial. However the survivors are rewarded with lighting fast reflexes, inhuman strength a great resistance to magic. Wtichers were orginaly monster hunters who for a fee would kill or remove monsters, curses and solve other mysterious happenings. But now with the kingdoms united under one leader, Emperor Foltest, the witchers now serve as specialty troops, spies and assassins in his ever growing army.

I wanted this sword to do triple damage vs Undead, Demons and Larger beings but unfortunately they can only have one tag.

Note that the "#dt_magic" tag doesn't do any of those effects (it's double damage to magic beings.)

You could achieve some of the effect that you're looking for with secondary effects, btw. Change the base weapon to have "#dt_holy" (for the undead/demon bonus), and add a #secondaryeffect with the "#dt_magic" or "#dt_large" flag. Unfortunately, since they're all multipliers, you probably won't want to add more than one secondaryeffect, as it will inflate the base damage too much. Note that there is a "#dt_demon" tag to restrict the damage to demons, but no equivalent for undead, magic beings, or larger beings.

Also - since both your shapes have the same unit name - won't the 2nd description overwrite the first (i.e. it will always say the unit wields either the steel or the silver swords, and won't change back and forth.)
