I've been out of the Morrowind modding scene for awhile now, so I've got nothing.

Been doing some cleanup in my code since this got posted and I found a few artifacts that don't have the correct stat bonuses, but nothing really major (i.e. gamebreaking) so far.

Ahhh, found him. He was actually heroes of might and magic II it turns out :o

Name is Zam:

Only thing I remember about any of those games was that guys face

Oh, THAT shitburger. That's actually from Heroes 2, not 3.

2 was a great game, but 3 was the all-time unbeatable classic.

I will bump and support you, but I have zero experience and little interest in it myself!

I'll mention it to my friend, he liked that game. I remember there being a guy with a purple face

Much appreciated.

Not sure off-hand who hero you're talking about is... the hero portraits were the one ugly part of an otherwise-beautiful game.

Short answer about Heroes 3 is that it's one of those games that is very well-liked by anyone who's ever heard of it. The only thing that keeps it from being one of the most popular games of all time is that a lot of people just haven't heard of it or only know of it in passing. For some reason it caught on a lot more in the east than it did here... at any given point of the day, the entire population of Russia is either playing or watching Heroes 3.

I have downloaded it and hope I can find time to look at it. If so, is there a specific place you'd like to consolidate feedback, or is here fine?

Here is probably not the greatest place to get ahold of me. We have a site (ngplus.net) and a Discord server (chat link from that site). If you don't use Discord, then feel free to just email me at [email protected]

Is it anything like that other mod? I forget what its called but it added like pirates or some shit.

You're thinking of HotA and no. HotA, as much as it rebalances things, is still an added content hack. This is strictly a rebalancing endeavor - the only thing that approaches it being a content map are the revised/new maps and the new hero portraits.

(Also they're a bunch of assholes when it comes to sharing information)

So I don't really have a good attention-grabber for this like I do with Brave New World's esper system, but there is one idea that has piqued the interest of everyone I ran it across.

I was looking at Logistics specialist heroes trying to figure out how to make them less quadratic and then thought maybe a Logistics specialty should instead be a bonus to the speed of the slowest unit in the army for the purposes of movement point calculation. And then I thought maybe that's just how logistics as a whole should work, with specialists getting double the effect of the skill.

That's the beta. If you just want a little more information on what all it does, there's the Printme:

As of this point, there are five playable maps. Random maps should work with no issues, but I have not yet edited any of the campaign maps - these are mostly functional as-is but they may contain invisible (and unusable) artifacts or dummied-out skills. I would suggest avoiding them for now.

If you're new to the game, I suggest Divided Lands or Old World as good maps to learn on.

(EDIT: aw, thanks Queue)

As I'm sure some of y'all know, I spent the better part of a decade working on a hack for Final Fantasy VI called Brave New World. For the last two years, I've been moving on to a new modding project: Heroes 3. It's widely considered to be one of the best strategy games of all time for those of you not in the know, so I really had to step up my game to give it - what some would say - the "Brave New World" treatment.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, I have a beta for it ready and publicly available. Just let me know and I can post a link.

Seems the site runner let the ngplus.net domain lapse... so until we can get it back up:

What is this version of a FFVI game and how can I play it? FFVI is my favorite game of all time!

Saw this topic earlier and decided to try it. Got to hand it to you BTB, the balance changes seem really well thought out and done. Can't wait to see the new esper system. I'm currently at Jidoor about to head to Zozo.

Its been pretty straight forward so far. Died a handful of times, entirely due to random mobs on the overworld just trashing me. Two most notable deaths were a group of ravens literally just spamming gale cut until I died, and Sabin being ambushed by five enemies after taking a single step into his scenario and getting wrecked.

Soul Train was a super close fight, probably the most difficulty I had with any of the bosses so far. Shadow got muddled and I spent most of the fight trying to stay alive.

Sabin dying in those three steps before he gets Shadow is something I really tried to mitigate - I even set the encounter rate in that one grid to minimal trying to make it not happen.

Anyway, glad you're having fun. Let me know how things turn out when you get to the espers!

Anyone know of any other final fantasy overhaul hacks in the same vein as bnw??
Not really interested in any 'hard mode' hacks btw. at least not overly difficult ones

The creator of FF7 New Threat was largely inspired by Brave New World, for what it's worth.
