Submod "Caster of Magic for Windows: Warlord"

[zitro1987]

The mod documentation (for next version coming soon which removes Caster of magic starting power penalty when choosing less than 4 books of a type)

This manual opens up when youclick ‘manual’ button on game launcher and has a lot of pages worth of derails, explanations and strategies

Note: unit stat images in Moddb are really outdated - concept before balance.

Good to see this project is still going Suppanut as I hadn't seen you posted an update on the discord in a while. I might go share the news around all the MoM communities as I suspect there's a LOT of people who still don't know about your work.

Have you considered creating a ModDB page? More people will see it, and they'll host pictures and the downloads for ya. Seen a many a great mod disappear over the decades due to only using sites like mediafire to host their stuff.

.

I will upload to ModDB as you want to.

I've noticed that the AI really doesn't like building garrison units until the cities are fairly well-developed. I've tried modding AIProd, but still find big cities with only one spearman. Setting BBUILD=0 seems to make them not make buildings, but I'm guessing that they're building housing or trade rather than units. Is that something you altered in some other file in Warlords?

Hmmm, I just thought of something else to try: setting BBUILDING=0 _and_ setting Chosen to some building. Maybe I have it set so that it's not choosing a building and thus defaults to housing.

BTW, I do like the mod. I like the focus on units rather than magic.

I think it is consequence of have building more expensive and one more level of building in building tree. AI need more time to build those buildings before have their prefer units coming out.

I think I found out why I couldn't force the AI to build more units. The command 'BBuilding=0' does not force the AI to build units. I'll repost that in the bugs thread.
