Mod: Avernum, Crystal Souls v1.5 UPDATE

[Sombre]

Warborn were cap only before, now I've unrestricted them because Avernum was basically too cap centric. Besides if you can get Slith Warriors and Lords anywhere it makes sense you can get warborn anywhere.


As for nametypes - you're right. But it isn't my fault. It says in the new mod manual that nametypes up to 159 are available. This isn't true. 151+ don't work and produce crashes. I will upload a fixed version of avernum using nametypes 149, 150 momentarily. I'll also make a post in the bug thread.

I have a soft spot for this mod. Maybe it's the archer kitties!

Yes, I'm currently playing SP with this mod. The unit descriptions are superb and really lend to an epic feeling of a nation(s) in exile. I'm not familiar with the books/comics that are the base for this mod and am learning about the nation from the descriptions and unit traits.

Its a really cool and well thought of mod and I like it a lot. Thanks Sombre!

It's actually based on games by Spiderweb software.

LOL

Just found that out after googling a little. I am impressed with the exile series and have just complete d/ling the original.

Have any of you guys played one of the exile or avernum games?

[Endoperez]

I did a bit, but I never played enough to learn of the world much more than the backstory.

I've played and enjoyed several games of the Avernum series.

This mod does a nice job capturing the feel / atmosphere of the games. (Though obviously the underground / desperation part is impossible.)

Unless a special scenario map is created on which exile starting province and the surroundings are all cave terrain.
