Advanced Classes Mod v1.073 update

Author: Liso1 December 14, 2021 0 Comments

More than 3 months have passed since the last Advanced Classes Mod update so it was time to release all the little fixes and changes that have pilled up before Christmas holidays. While there is no major new content update like the commander classes this time, still there are a couple of new things. Commander classes by the way, I don’t know how you feel about them, but up to this point, I have not managed to try out every possible hero, commander and class combination available. I must say that this element really enriches the gameplay a lot and is definitely something that could be expanded further in the future.

I now managed to fix all problems with the secret commander class and if you haven’t managed to unlock it up to now you can keep an eye on the tavern and what the bartender has to say about that.

With this 1.073 update, the Difficulty-Mod has received a major new feature which is called Stack-Experience rebalance. This project is still under development and will be for some time. The aim of this project is to tune down most of the experience bonuses the creatures receive. Once ready it will be a fully customizable feature that will allow you to play a tuned down game close to H3 vanilla stats but with the Stack-Exp feature enabled. Each creature will only get one significant ability at the ace level and not 5 or 6, as it can happen currently. I started to rework all creature abilities of my favorite mod: The Third Upgrade Mod by Maiko, later I will include all H3 and WoG creatures as well, but it takes some time.

You should not activate this option if you are so used to having double-strike on all units and you can’t even tell if this has always been like this or was a WoG feature. It really is mostly a big nerf on everything. –RerryR
