Hoburg Alliance Special Edition, now complete with hoburg heroes

Since the hoburg crossbows are so good, there would be very little incentive to use slingers.

Just give them the MOM halfling slings that do 200 damage at range 50=) Seriously, though, slings are 0 resources, so I can certainly see a use for 5 gold, 1 resource hoburgs with a dagger, sling, and leather cuirass. With Flaming Arrows... they'd be better than crossbows, as they fire every turn.

However, I think hobugs need wristbows, like in Deus Ex. Oooh... hoburg mini-wrist-xbow assassins... and maybe some primitive tanks, too, with gatling slings. They really need a Hoburg Wagon that can hold 10 burgers and give them strat-move 2. Transports! Yes! That's what Dominions is missing... the flying carpet needs to be genericized.

I've been trying the Hoburgs at about the same time I discovered the beauty of Flaming Arrows and Wind Guide... but, to tell the truth, it takes some work to have the Hoburgs develop enough magic for this. I just happened to find a site that allows for the recruitment of Astral/Fire mages, so that made the trick...

[Teraswaerto]

The Obstgaertner has 1 random elemental, so 1 out of 4 has fire 1, and a fire 1 mage can cast phoenix power with a gem, and then cast Flaming Arrows with 2 gems. Should work, though it's a bit of a hassle.

*edit*
Though the fatigue is probably too much... maybe if another mage casts Relief a few times.

Ip! Feeling silly.

How does one install and use these mods? A small instruction file in the .zip pack wouldn't hurt parhaps?

Download the Zip. Unzip the files into the .../Dominions2/mod/ directory (wherever it is). Start your game and go to preferences, mod preferences and enable/disable the mods.

Aaaaaaaaargh! Enable mods.

Thank you. Didn't make me feel any smarter though...
