- Permissions and credits
1st Mod - Heroes and ItemForge - Mod comes with all 6 variants:
+ All numerical variants have only difference in amount of starting and gained per level skill points.
- Variant 1 - 5 starting skill points; No changes to skill points per level
- Variant 2 - 2 starting skill points, 2 skill points per level
- Variant 3 - 3 starting skill points, 3 skill points per level
+ All "b" variants have 20 infusion points, while "non-b" variants have 10 infusion points instead.
+ Rulers and Heroes now have +25 health and +3 status resistance to make tchem more sturdy and reliable at the game beginning.
+ Refunding all used skill points is now much cheaper, 5 imperium per spent skill point. Refunding all 25 used skill points will cost 125 imperium and for 40 will be 200 imperium.
+ Refreshing Hero Recruitment Pool is now free, so now you can get the heroes you want without any obstructions on the way.
+ Increased time of auto refreshing Hero Recruitment Pool to 100 turns, because the refresh option is now free, i also wanted to give much more time to collect resources to recruit new ones you want, the heroes you are interrested in wont run away anymore (by default the pool is refreshed after each 5 turns).
+ Reduced Cost to Recruit Heroes, now the base cost is 50 gold and 25 gold per Hero Level.
+ Reduced Cost to Ressurect Dead Heroes, now the base cost is 50 mana and 25 mana per Hero Level.
+ Halved the Cost to Recruit Heroes from Pantheon. They are still expensive but the previous price was too absurd in my mind.
+ Imperium Cost to increase Hero cap is reduced from 30 to 20 per Remaining Turn.
+ I changed costs in binding essence to make items more affordable and to reflect investments in more infusion points
+ I tweaked item tiers, so now you have to invest more infusion points to get extra bonus stats you gain from higher item tiers.
- Tier 2 starts from 3 infusion points
- Tier 3 starts from 5 infusion points
- Tier 4 starts from 8 infusion points
+ All items are forged instantly.

differences between them.

Required version of the game depends on the mod build you are downloading, read description of each build to get know if your game version is compatible with my mod.
- All mod versions starting from 2.0 hardly require game updated to Ogre 1.0 Update, no compatible backward with older versions of the game.
- Mod versions starting from 1.4 hardly requires at least game in version Tiger 1.3 due to changes in rpk files responsible for dragon lords, no compatible backward with older game versions. If you decided to stay on older Tiger game builds, just use mod version 1.3 or older. Keep in mind that this build is not compatible with newer game versions starting from Ogre 1.0 Update.
- All my mods are not compatible with game versions before Tiger 1.0 Update.
2nd Mod - Level 30 Hero Cap
As the name suggest, this mod increases hero level cap to 30, compatible with my first mod, so they can be used together if you want.
3rd Mod - More Experience Gain for Heroes - 4 Variants
This mod is for people who want leveling heroes faster. This variant of the mod allows your heroes to obtain 50%, 100%, 150% or 200% more Experience depending on chosen variant with percentage number. Mod is compatible with "Heroes and Item Forge", so you can use them together.
Very Important! Unfortunately you cannot combine other variants of mod to work together as otherwise game refuses to cooperate with, my attempts to make all variants compatible with each other failed.
Info! If you want to use this mod together with "Heroes and Item Forge", make sure its updated to version released 5th April 2025 (Mod version 2.1 on Nexus Mods) or later, otherwise they wont work properly together. Make sure that "More Experience Gain for Heroes" Mod is before "Heroes and Item Forge" in playset's load order.
