User blog:Rodmar18/Things that could be changed

=Things that could be changed in the game files to correct or enhance Warlords Battlecry III=

Introduction
This blog is to allow others to adapt their own game files in order to change a bit their gaming experience. It could be later used to compile and publish a package of changes that could be called, say, v1.03.25a. Everybody is welcome to contribute, giving out his own findings about game files.

Changes should apply at first to v1.03.25 files, then they could be ported to v1.03.23 and v1.03 versions.

Tools I use are: notepad++ (or any text/xml editor), a hexeditor, a XCR archive manager (no need for a XCR editor). About v1.03.25, as two XCR archives are now uncoded, they can be peered at using a hexeditor or notepad++, but for now I couldn't alter them, even hexediting clear data make the game crash, as if there was some hash computation and checking. These two archives are: Items.xcr and System.xcr. First one hosts Items.xml, the items define file, second one hosts Army.cfg and Building.cfg, the units and buildings' sets of rules in text format. If you run the most recent XCR archive manager, you shouldn't have those problems.

To be useful, proposals should follow the same format, once the concern listed, addressed and solved: file name - where in file - change to be made - why: result, reason - dependencies: other files to touch - version

Bugs, missing or lacking info, useful additions
V1.03.25 changed a lot of things (just have a look at the changelog) but in game documentation was not so updated. See also the Bugs section on the wiki for the old bugs that weren't corrected with v1.03.25.

ToDo List

 * Buildings:
 * 1) Level 5 Haven (Wood Elves): the production window (the one that pops up when the production button is hit) is "screwed".
 * 2) Level 3 Summoning Tower (Daemons): the production window could be corrected (1st line is empty).
 * 3) Any keeps: homogenize the way units and researches appear in the production window?
 * 4) Some buildings that were producing a general in previous versions and don't produce units anymore: removes the rally point button and attitude button, adds next builder button (Library) -> hard coded :(
 * 5) Some keeps that now produce a general and didn't before: add a rally point button and an attitude button, and remove the next builder button (Citadel?) -> hard coded :(
 * 6) Review the production help lines. -> DONE
 * 7) Wall of Ice and Wall of Thorn help lines missing. -> DONE & TESTED
 * 8) Review buildings' view range and assign best/better ranges to vision buildings (Watch Tower, etc.).
 * 9) Proposal: high level keeps could count for more toward supporting troops (2/2/2/2/2) -> (2/2/3/3/4), and (3/3/3/3/3) -> (3/3/4/4/5) for the Swarm. Would it break balance? <- see next point: it's not exaggerated if the now very costly keep (to reduce generals' spamming) counts as two basic buildings, even if it's not the largest keep. It's a keep, after all.
 * 10) Proposal: check what the usual human player builds to reach the 250 army points limit and see if it's realistic/reasonable. Eventually, changes some support to correct this (e.g. Barbarian Camp 2 -> 3 to reduce the ridiculous number of Altar of Tempest?). It depends heavily on lore, though.
 * 11) Review some sound textures. However, this changes the type of rubbles too. While a rampart or a wall of thorn should sound like wood when hit, are they deemed to leave rubbles behind? Also, the neutral walls seem to be made out of wood, shall they leave wooden rubbles behind? Then, the other walls should leave stone rubbles, or would this be unbalancing? Currently none of those small structures leave rubbles to be scavenged. -> DONE & TESTED


 * Units:
 * 1) Review the units help lines (adding lines for new Swarm units). -> DONE & TESTED
 * 2) Wraiths, Shadows, and Eyes of Oros can't float above water. -> DONE & TESTED
 * 3) Eyes of Oros aren't affected by Master of Eyes skill, although Oros is associated with floating eyes upgrades.
 * 4) It would be nice, if Eyes of Oros are as small as Sylphs, on screen: they are ocular globes from humanoids, and should be somewhat stealthy against a human player (not his units'AI). How to reduce by 4 the sprites?
 * 5) Reapers (and Summoners) are special Daemon units: they are immune to banishment. Either correct this, or acknowledge this, for instance by making them produced at their prerequisite building (Gallows). This way, all the Pit units could be banished. In TPC, only Summoners can't be banished.
 * 6) Ghouls can't contaminate despite their help line telling the opposite. -> DONE & TESTED
 * 7) Several ideas from the Protectors could be adopted, as a way to prepare the mainstream player to migrate. -> LISTED -> DONE & TESTED save System.xcr files (tags & researches)
 * 8) Once correct byte is identified, add bones to units that are deemed to left bones, and remove them for the others. -> DONE for Hydras (bones now), Gazer (no more bones now). Should any insect really leave bones, or only the Scartauri?
 * 9) Review and change some death sound (e.g. Harpy, Spider Priestess -> Female). -> DONE & TESTED
 * 10) Review and correct some attack sound (e.g. any Hydras, from slashing/piercing to bite). -> DONE & TESTED
 * 11) Review and correct some armor type (that alter the slash/hack/pierce attack sound). -> DONE & TESTED
 * 12) Once correct byte identified (I hope it's in the .arm files (EDIT: in the .anim file)), review and correct some blood splashes. Goblin Shaman, Giant Ant, Giant Scorpion bleed red for instance. -> DONE & TESTED
 * 13) Restore Dragon-size selection circles for Siege machines? (Review selection circles)
 * 14) Proposal: tag the Barbarian unit as a non missile unit. This way, it could defend better at melee range and it could replace the War Dog as a tower filler. What about the min range of their attack? What about the Barbarian Tower not being upgraded by missile units anymore, balance wise? On the other hand it is weird this non technological faction manage to install ballistae on their towers! Let's say they defend with bows, but despise them when it comes to true, manish war. If the Barbarians want to defend against long range weapons, they have to sent out the cavalry, or the dogs. -> NOT sure the tag would prevent the tower from considering the Barbarian a ranged unit
 * 15) Proposal: I'd like to re-tailor the War Dog. Currently, they are like mountain lions (or lions?). It's okay that the Barbarians rely heavily on them, but they shouldn't man towers (see 14). They could be small instead of medium, cost even less, have half the HP, be just one point slower than the slowest cavalry, be produced even a little faster, and would form the first (nearly suicidal) line of any Barbarian squad. Currently, they sometimes barely need to be backed up by spearmen, and they fear only splash attacks. They would be scouts as well (sentries at least). It would be nice if the sprites could be reduced, and if they could really form a tight pack.


 * Upgrades/Powerups/Production:
 * 1) Far Sight. Currently, the only prerequisite is Eagle Eye (III). Logical, except when you play with a capped keep level. It looks overpowered when you stay at keep level 1 or 2, and your faction has not produced its spellcasters yet, and not researched magic upgrades yet. Proposal: Far Sight requires Keep level 3 or 4 too (Keep level 2 or 3 for the Fey?).
 * 2) The Wood Elves concern. I'm concerned with these Elves being able to pump out Fey units right from Keep level 1 on, plus the fact they get Pixies and Sprites well before the Fey do! (remember that the cost for Fey Keeps has been increased). It's not about reverting the v1.03.25 change, but it could be made smoother and delayed a bit. The only question is: would this destroy the balance for Wood Elves in MP? Proposal: 1/White Tree still available at Keep level 2, but only as an alternate, small size supply building. Let's say that the Elves plant their orchard. 2/Oakmen now produced at the White Tree, thus available at Keep level 2 instead of 1. This way, the White Tree produces all Fey allies, and the Elves are left by themselves during first stage. Are piercing resistant foes really a threat that early, or simply, the Wood Elves player has to make a (forced) choice between upgrading to Keep level 2 and researching Ancestral Wisp? A side effect is that a WT may be build right next to each mine, in order to pump 8 miners each. 3/Pixies now available at Keep level 3 (the Fey get theirs at level 4). Sprites now available at Keep level 3 or 4 (the Fey get theirs at level 3). I'd be to exchange the order of availability if they are not both available at the same level, to copy what happens with the Fey. 4/In case Sprites are produced at level 4, and because they are much more "fey-ish", and a niche unit, why not to make them benefit from Master Bowyer again (or +2 Combat, like the Hunter)(Btw, Fey give them +3 Combat, +2 Range, +10 Armor)? We'd need the source code though, don't we? 5/Treant upgrades remain at Keep level 4. 6/An alternate, or conjoint, way to limit early access to "foreign mercenaries" would be to increase the cost of Pixies and Sprites for Wood Elves.
 * 3) Spiders and The Swarm. Though I have to play again the Swarm to reconsider the point, I found so far both spiders useless to this faction. I understand that their introduction allowed to postpone the production of the Scorpionmen later in the game, and this was certainly needed. The fact is that the Swarm has immense needs of stone and can count on Husks to fill the towers. Later on, the Scorpion is a good poison dealer. Look at the stats: either it or the Queen Spider is too much. On the other hand, Spiders count for half an army point, and Queens lay eggs. That's pretty all, I'd say. No proposal for the moment. -> In v1.03.26 this seemed to have been partly assessed: spiders don't cost stone anymore.
 * 4) What if...We could read the Lizard Rider's graphic files, erase the rider, and save to new graphic files to be added in the Ssrathi.xcr? We could use the second Icemaiden code. Ssrathi could produce raptors, a dinosaur between the Snakeman and the Lizard Rider, kind of a uber war dog, one Keep level before the Triceratops.


 * AI:
 * 1) Some new attitudes don't have help lines in the text files. -> DONE & TESTED
 * 2) Some attitudes' icons could be more consistent.
 * 3) Poison and disease dealing units could have a special AI file that would make them shun immune, or at least already affected, enemies, if possible. For instance, the stance 'Magic Marauder' could force to use this unit AI file. Now marauding goblins and spiders would have a sense.


 * Campaign:
 * 1) Make most maps hidden maps. Except when the hero may be considered as being familiar with it (defending missions, playing as an ally to vision gifted races). -> DONE & TESTED (to be reviewed for final choice)
 * 2) Make most maps with fog of war. Except some ambushes, and small maps? -> DONE & TESTED (to be reviewed for final choice)
 * 3) Activate the already there Yrm's Shop -> DONE & TESTED
 * 4) Develop some .nis files, as they add a strong RPG element to the campaign. Read The Protectors's nis help file, and peer at the first mission's nis files. Only missions that already have a .nis file may be changed without altering the .scn mission file proper. -> DONE & TESTED (just play with profession/class/race/alignment tests.)
 * 5) Barbarian's Challenge map: change the Barbarian chiefs as being allies (is this useful, as they are already set as allies in the .SCN file?) -> DONE
 * 6) Update units set in the .scn file so that they are the same as the produced units.
 * 7) Even on Difficult setting, the Campaign mode remains quite easy: just turtle and wait for the AI sides to have wasted their resources. What happens if, on a few (late campaign) missions, the sides' AI level is set to a higher level than "Knight"? (I'm not sure if the difficulty setting changes only the starting resource, or the heroes' relative level, the AI level?). These changes should keep the game beginner-friendly at Easy setting.


 * Quests:
 * 1) Homogenize some lines? Styles are quite diverse, especially between original Shrine quests, the other original quests, and Kharn's quests. For instance, all RPT lines, which are displayed while the hero is not by the quest building, could have the same short, factual, ("no-RPG") style, such as "Kill 4 Goblins and return to the shrine to receive 400 gold units as a reward/where 3 Sprites will offer their service." instead of "If you kill those four mischievous Goblins who hurt him and then return to the wizard at this shrine, then he'll give you as a reward a huge treasure made of 400 gold units." Some quests may derogate of course (Tarquin's, Hungry ogre's).
 * 2) Some quests may be seen as breaking the game... While I don't want to remove them, perhaps the Orb of Etheria could be removed from the reard from the Lizard Rider's, as well as the items belonging to the Garb of Thyatis from Tarquin's, given there are 4 campaign missions that are specifically devised to retrieve those items.


 * Items:
 * 1) Homogenize some prices? (Escort Messenger)

Hex files
(1): not useful and not visible, though.

(2): this attack sounds better as a bite, than as a knife or a sword, especially against stone and metal.

(3): less weird against wooden towers (less earth elemental)?

(4): however, volume is very low and the skeleton move sound is barely audible.

(5): as with T-Rex, Elephant and Hydras.

(6): exploding upon death doesn't prevent fliers to scream like eagles.

(7): or "Dragon"? I know Triceratops have no trunk, but a humanoid scream looks weird.

(8): a proposal, as this sound is very close to their Deathblow sound (a 'woosh').

(9): they are medium-size humanoids and talk in the rather dark tone, like orcs.

(10): as with other goblins.

(11): as with other animals (save sheep, cow, and camel).

(12): Treants scream like "giants", Ancien Treants do "explode" but they form 2 Treants in the process, that Ironbark does not. As for its "sound texture", should it be "Wood" like other treants (and in TPC), or "Metal", because of its name?

(13): as with other goblins.

(14): as with both spiders. Scartauris keep bleeding in red.

(15): TPC's changelog says death sounds are changed, so let's take the racial infantry's death sound. Swarm Hero keeps "Orc" because both Scartauri, which are voiced, have been changed to "Orc". Daemon Hero could be "Undead" too.

(1): should not break balance when other can summon wasps.

(2): as with the other floating eyes.

(3): as with the Elephant and the Dinosaurs.

(4): Wolfriders and all horse riders generates bones but they are mounted. On the other hand, Nightmares, and all large land animals generate bones as well... This could help the Barbarians when fighting the Undead.

(5): as with the spiders; only both Scartauris leave bones now. Husks shouldn't, as Skeletons don't.

(6): as with the other animals.

(7): sadly (?), changing the "material" type of buildings adds rubble to be scavenged too. If it's not so sad, then all the walls should leave rubble behind (i.e. set them as 01 "Stone" for Good or 03 "Stone+Wood" for Evil)

(8): i.e. less than walls. Ramparts used to have same range as some buildings, and more than walls. Should summoned passive buildings really act like cheap scouts? Wall of Ice could stay at 8 though (because it's Ice Magic ?)

(9): same as towers and stone/iron guardians, but still less than AA-arrow towers (18). Plaguelords have no "lookouts", but they are temples of EYES!

(1): as per v1.03.26 scheduled changelog.

(2): same range as Slime; however Zombie's range is 0, and it works too.

(3): attack sound left unchanged, as with the Inquisitor.

(4): i.e. same speed as War Dog, regardless of the cavalry speed tweak to come.

(5): as in TPC's changelog.

(6): so as to have Daemons cause any all psych. effects (as in TFH?). TPC reduces vanilla effects' range.

(1): as per v1.03.26 scheduled changelog.

(2): as in TPC's changelog. Dryad causes a mild Awe (between Vampire and Unicorn)?

Note
Most of the changes are cosmetic and deal with homogenization and consistency between all the entries:
 * A question is: where to display information that a given unit counts as a basic or an advanced troop? In the production window (_Desc field) or in the top screen banner (_Lin fields)? <- banner?
 * The top banner should remain impersonal as it is read for enemy units as well (hence, no more "you") (?).
 * All the researches are displayed as such, instead of nothing or skills.
 * Floating is an ability.
 * Generals are now produced at level 5 keeps.
 * Dragons have developed description (breath effect). <- too bad if it encroaches on the 3rd line?
 * Titans are served with a heroic (poetic) and lore-wise description. <- grammar & length (2 lines) to be tested

>> <Tip id="34">Dwarf Crossbows count as two ordinary archers when placed into a tower.</Tip>

into:

<Tip id="33">You need only half the number when putting Dwarven Smiths and Dark Dwarven Engineers into a mine to increase its resource production.</Tip> <Tip id="34">Not every advanced missile unit is a spellcaster!

<< <Tip id="44">Harpies and Black Mages can hinder enemy spellcasters by use of their Drain Mana ability. Electrical burning (a critical effect) does the same result.</Tip>

add:

<Tip id="68">Did you notice that your spellcasters are empowered every 5 level of experience?</Tip> <Tip id="69">The electrical ranged attack may aim at a target beyond screening troops, walls and buildings, but in case of a miss, it is totally wasted, contrary to the other type of ranged attacks.</Tip> <Tip id="70">When faced to a horde of frail enemies, it's a good idea to have a squad of inexperienced archers ready, and let the AI manage the targeting. As any miss may well hit a neighbour foe, spreading the damage overall, either their ranks will soon be thinned out, or the horde will be left even frailer.</Tip> <Tip id="71">When faced by a few resilient enemies, better oppose a squad of experienced archers, and focus fire at one target at a time. Multiple successful fires will soon lessen the threat.</Tip> <Tip id="72">Learn how the AI react to various threats, be it a tower, archers, or melee units, and prepare a cheap lure to screen your valued troops.</Tip> <Tip id="73">Come visit the community at //etheria.wikia.com/wiki/. You will find numerous informations, and all that you've ever wanted to know about the last versions of this game and its fan-made developments.</Tip>
