Can you upgrade to "More AI Wizards" Option up to 15? Why only 4 AI Wizards? "Extra Large Map" Option that is Global and can be traversed by North and South? And can you add RANDOM as Options? That makes the game more interesting and unexpected.

After consideration, I removed the tax and rebellion rate modifications. If enough people fuss, I will re-add in a separate Mod, per your suggestion.

@Narf

That is a valid point. That was inherited from the original implementation. Honestly, it is a setting I never use myself.

If I could confirm that it is not used by anyone else, I would probably just remove.

I think the new tax and rebellion rates should be a different mod; they're not starting options. In addition, they make Stream of Life that much more powerful.

Added the preview images for pg1 and pg 2 of the "Game Options" that should be visible with this Mod.

It was the FLC being unchecked on the top left!

I don't use the mod due to the fact it is bloated and copies a number of unnecessary script functions without change - instead of just re-using those that exist in the base code. (i.e. SpellScripts.cs vs SpellScripts_MythicalRealms.cs)

Completely unnecessary if you understand how namespaces work - which I guess he is still learning?


But whatever...
Dorian Gray  [author] 2 May, 2024 @ 9:54pm 
Mythical Realms is over-writing the starting hero selection and doesn't provide the same number as provided here.

However, if you play with the mod loading order, you will get a different set of starting heroes.

I did not see a conflict with the Town Distance though. Maybe another Mod is conflicting?

Hmmm....

I have not recently checked if there are any conflicts with mythical realms.

I will take a look in a bit...
