D&D mod - your opinions?(Monster news update!)

yunings · 发表于 2006-10-24 13:38:48

Good time of day to you, people!

During a few years i try to realize some idea ([wiki]WoG[/wiki] mod in one word) and would like to hear your opinion... I not the man of the forums, so it is my 1st post on official forum since my membership in WoG team.. he-he. :)

I am trying to make heroes similar to D&D conception, but not in the whole - only some aspects and there are following:

1. Rework all creatures parameters and abilities
2. Rearrange creatures in the castles and change their levels
3. Add/replace some monsters based on D&D

May be some of you will consider this as plain "rebalancing" mod, but i think this will be not the same.

I really would like to discuss it with you (because i am working alone) and to know what do you think about all this.

- Castle:

W/o changes except swordmen/crusaders, but in more to my personal taste:

There are more candidates to this place. I will post more picture, though there was aldready opinions to use one of the crusader to replace castle commander. I found this idea useful - there is only a question - which one?
