Mod: Epic Heroes Mod -Version 1.5 Released

[BandarLover]

Spider hero would work better for Machaka.

Can't think of a middle age nation where a vampire hero would fit, would work better, I think, with late age Ulm.

[Xietor]

There is already a spider hero in worthy heroes. Back to the drawing board(:

Beta 0.05 is attached at top of the thread.

It introduces 3 new Epic Heroes with new abilities added in patch 3.08.

This version adds:
1. Epic Hero for Ctis
2. Epic Hero for Caelum(i need to turn the sprite image white)(any volunteer would be appreciated).
3. Replaced the Vampire Lord Assassin for Machaka with a new Immortal Assassin, who features a backstab ability.

Technically, it is not a true back stab, but it has the same effect as one.

The Complete list as of Beta 0.05 is:


1. The Black Phoenix, Abysia
2. The Obsidian Medium, Agartha(added by Endoperez)
3. The Monkey King, Bandar Log(added by Endoperez)
4. The Blood-Cursed Champion, Mictlan
5. Beowulf, Man
6. The Blood Jarl, Jotunheim
7. The Fallen Angel, Pythium(Bandar Lover's idea)
8. The Immortal Assassin, Machaka
9. The Black Duke of Ulm, Ulm(Arralen's Black Steel Ulm Hero, modified a bit).
10. Black Heart Treant, Pangaea
11. The Sacred Yeti, Caelum
12. The Ancient Ophidian, Ctis

[Xietor]

Beta 0.06

Mainly corrected misspelled words in the descriptions, added gold costs to some heroes that inadvertently did not have them, and fixed a typo that affected any ulm unit wearing certain armor(made them faster).

The Black Heart Treant was further nerfed. no summons at all now, and hps reduced significantly. The entangle and sleep vines made the Treant too tough, even with a zero defense.

Still need ideas for Shin. and all 3 water races.

I think I have an idea for vanaheim and marignon, but if anyone has ideas for them, mine are not set in stone.

In about a week, I am going to host a mp game to test Epic Heroes. Llamabeast may be able to host it. I have 12 races available to play, and the map I made is designed for 9 players, with one being a water race. The water race position is designed for NEW players, not wily vets.

The mods to be used will be the reduced age mod, worthy heroes(hopefully it will be fixed soon), and epic hero mod.

Not every race will have an epic hero, but you have the option to pick any race you want to play. If you like a challenge pick a race without the epic hero. Or if there is a race that was poor in mp, you may want to try them out with the epic hero. Especially if they were good mid to late game but vulnerable early.

beta 0.07 adds an Epic Hero Hannibal for Arcosephale.

1. The Black Phoenix, Abysia
2. The Obsidian Medium, Agartha(added by Endoperez)
3. The Monkey King, Bandar Log(added by Endoperez)
4. The Blood-Cursed Champion, Mictlan
5. Beowulf, Man
6. The Blood Jarl, Jotunheim
7. The Fallen Angel, Pythium(Bandar Lover's idea)
8. The Immortal Assassin, Machaka
9. The Black Duke of Ulm, Ulm(Arralen's Black Steel Ulm Hero, modified a bit).
10. Black Heart Treant, Pangaea
11. The Sacred Yeti, Caelum
12. The Ancient Ophidian, Ctis
13. Hannibal, Arcosephale

Coming soon for Marignon: The Tithe Collector

[Xietor]

Beta Version 0.08

Adds a new epic hero, the Tithe Collector, for marignon.

It also beefs up Beowulf and the Black Duke of Ulm a tad.

Beowulf has a shield bash and thunder kick, and the sword of no tomorrow is really that now. If you are hit with it, there is no tomorrow for you. His longbow of accuracy was traded in for the Longbow of Avalon.

Ulm-the Black Duke, a master forger, traded in his common lance for his newly designed "Blackest Lance." The Black Order Soldiers summoned by the Duke now look like Lord Guardian commanders, and their weapons are now the Black Duke Halberd, rather than the Black Duke Great Sword. same stats though, just a graphic change.


The complete list is now:

1. The Black Phoenix, Abysia
2. The Obsidian Medium, Agartha(added by Endoperez)
3. The Monkey King, Bandar Log(added by Endoperez)
4. The Blood-Cursed Champion, Mictlan
5. Beowulf, Man
6. The Blood Jarl, Jotunheim
7. The Fallen Angel, Pythium(Bandar Lover's idea)
8. The Immortal Assassin, Machaka
9. The Black Duke of Ulm, Ulm(Arralen's Black Steel Ulm Hero, modified a bit).
10. Black Heart Treant, Pangaea
11. The Sacred Yeti, Caelum
12. The Ancient Ophidian, Ctis
13. Grand Elephantarch, Arcosephale
14. Tithe Collector, Marignon


Enjoy!

I have an idea for the three era of ermor:
-the Early Age, a young great and ambitious general. Not a very good warrior (slightly better than normal ermor commander) but a hight standard and the capacity to summon elite soldier. This capacity simulate the general capacity to train elite trooper.

-Middle Age: The young general became an old emperor who the live was extended by dark magic. It is physically weak, but many victory in past give him a great aura in the army. He have the capacity to free spawn for the elite soldier of the Early Age, a better standard and maybe death magic.

-Late Age: Greatly responsable of the ermorian fall, the old emperor and his elite soldier are damned for eternity. The old emperor free spawn a spectral version of the elite trooper. The old emperor is a powerfull priest (4-5) and a capable dark mage (3?). His eternal damnation give him immortality and a spectrale state. His presence and reputation are terrible for the living (fear +? ).

This ideas are a rapid draft.

5. Beowulf, Man
6. The Blood Jarl, Jotunheim
7. The Fallen Angel, Pythium(Bandar Lover's idea)

[BandarLover]

DOH!! TOO LATE! Just saw your post and was gonna tell you your idea sounded a little TOO familiar. Wish I could think of something else for you but I'm no good at these hero ideas.
