I hope you are ready when Tarth comes a knocking...

The world feels hella dangerous. I like how you've buffed the city defenders with armor. May want to consider renaming those City Garrison since it's a design shift away from ragtag militia. My level 2 capital doesn't feel like a glass house now. I'm sure this will become even more crazy soon. More feedback incoming.

Also - those bandit hordes are frightening.

Great Mill would be fantastic. I'm in an interesting place. Both chokepoints are manned by bandit hordes. Managed to clear the surrounding area, that wild hermit was spittin' fire but I got him. Now to free the countryside of bandits...

No. Both Hf and I are modding some core files. I may be doing a sort of adaptation mod that uses my affliction on Stormworld. That is something way at the back of a long list of mods I want to do. Honestly I think it is nice at least for now to have to very different interpretations of how the game might be modded.

The whole mod is incompatible unfortunately. Stormworld requires the A_LIB_UnitStat_BG_v* mod, which overwrites a ton of stuff seanw3 is also overwriting.

 Edit: You should be able to use the Rivermod from Stormworld, I think that might be compatible.

Kinda interested to see this is as well.

I've been taking a quick look through the XMLs for both packs, I'm no modder by any means - a tinkerer at best, but some actual descriptions and contrasting between the two would be cool.

The information in this thread especially is a bit incomprehensible to me coming freshfaced into FE.

But will the Goetia mod be merged with Master's Affliction? Or with Stormworld for that matter (now that Heavenfall is reading)? I'm hoping for at least one, ideally more mega-mods to choose from, which will include all the awesome features developed by you guys (like the Goetia mod).

Great! You guys are awesome!

Sean - when installing your updates, is it as simple as extracting the new files into english folder or should I copy back all the vanilla files and then copy in the update? Probably a stupid question but wanted to confirm. Thanks.

Yes. Just add all the files to the English folder.

Are you sure you have your taxes set to at least low? The default tax rate in my mod is None.

I love Stormworld. Since each of us are working alone on our projects, the modder's skills determine the direction of the mod. Stormworld offers amazing visuals and excellently thought out races. The wiki alone offers hours of interesting lore. The rivermod is truly a work of art. The reliquary offers a chest full of items that are able to actually feel as if they are magical. It's a great place to start for players that like FE, but demand a traditional fantasy setting for their games.

But there are others that feel FE is lacking depth. Master's Affliction is designed for expert 4x gamers. It offers a better RPG progression for your characters. It makes the world a seriously dangerous foe. City leveling has a massive level of specialization. Leveling cities high is as powerful as city spam, making each a viable choice. It increases the types of viable units in the game. FE has two unit types: Heroes and Troops. Master's Affliction has five: Sovereigns, Heroes, Troops, Summons, Monsters. Sovs are immensely powerful from turn one. The mod boasts a more robust faction and Sov creation. Troops have a wider variety of tactics, derived from resource strategy. Summons are extremely powerful, but admittedly I need to add Goetia to really flesh this area out. Monsters like Ogres and Trolls now play a vital role in army supplementation. There are a huge list of changes to areas that I felt were under-realized by the devs. Master's Affliction seeks to give the expert players a new challenge and grants the wishes of those that say the vanilla version lacks depth.

As you see, the mods are aimed at two types of people. I suspect most will begin with Stormworld, as it is the most familiar to them. But eventually even with all those pretty centaur models, players will come to contract the master's affliction for challenge.

Oh much better.

The Paths page is blank for some reason until you scroll down, looks like you chopped out an old chart and left the white space.

Will all the Skills listed in Paths have an explanation at some point as to what they actually do?

nice, now I can read about the mod's design
