Mod Avernum, Crystal Souls v1.5 UPDATE - Page 2

Actually I did not think the nation was overpowered. I just thought that the one trog caster was underpriced. This nation IS very easy to gem horde with. Even with order 3, sloth 2 I was able to turn out Crystals every turn after a certain point, and I was still able to grab casters every turn because I had researched Thaum.

I think the nation is a lot of fun, and balanced enough imo. I found this nation to be fairly weak when expanding early, it had an average/above average mid game, and a very powerful late game.

Hmm. One way of stopping that might be to increase the resource cost of the Crystal Souls, making it hard to make one every turn, especially if you want to crank out national troops.

When I play with them I spam a lot of troggies too - that's what they're there for. They make really solid heavy infantry, although they tend to get ruined with afflictions after a few battles.

The next version will be up tonight.

1.1 will fix the bugs you mentioned and sort out all the itemslots making Avernum 3.08 compatible.

A new version may well be released soon.

In the meantime, here's a picture of all the units, standing around looking gormless.

Lemme test out the image tags.

Wow! So many units. I increasingly realise this must have taken a lot of work!

I've reorganised the preview a bit. It's attached and will be an image on the first page.

The next version might just be a CBM rebalance. I'm not sure right now.

I've updated the first post with version 1.2.

Mostly minor changes, but now the crystal soul recruitable commander doesn't give you any pearls.

I played exile in the past (from a multi game CD lying around in the house of an ex GF of mine,( it was already outdated then and this was like 8 years ago), when she did homework I was playing the game in the same room) When we went less to her parents (when she went to higher schooling too) and later when we broke up I lost track of the game (I don't think I came very far.

Anyway enough of the background story:

Would it be a game to start playing again now or would I just get annoyed at the graphics (which usually don't bother me much really) or the gameplay and story (very important these last 2)
