[VCMI Expansion] FiCo

Greeting my friends.. stay awhile and listen



As i told almost secretely on my town post, my bigger plan was put together a tiny expansion, including my faction Ruins. The main focus are new mechanics and heroes. And.. i really like make heroes.

The planned content are 5 big modules: Ruins town; Creatures pack from my personal use. A pack of heroes which depends exclusively from hmm3 core; A pack of heroes which depends from my creatures pack, or Hota pack, or VCMI design team, or another team packs; And for the last plan a minimal artifact pack.

Each pack/module is a standalone mod. Wich makes possible turn of an off. Yet inside each hero module, each class is a indepent mod, possible enabling just some class and disabling another ones.

I made a tumblr to help me show the things and compose the pdf file as @avatar told me to do.

Fico - tumblr

Im not greed and i dont expect any greetings for that project. I gonna use this things, so i thought, maybe could be cool for someone too.

What you guys think ?

Yeah, there's so much possibilites to create new heroes and new specialties. Of course most of them - from balace point of view - are rather 'campaign' heroes or designed for custom maps. For example - I don't know AI would upgrade humans into werewolves (Lucian specialty) or how these heroes would work when multiplayer be ready. BTW - it will be cool mod with some freshness.

One think I don't like (a little) with your portraits: grey, plain bacgrounds of some heroes. It's H5 style. Some time ago I cutted grey backgrounds from necro H3 heroes and give them various background from 'painted' pictures - final effect was noticeable better. When I return from work, I'll give you some examples.

Do wahat you want and can. All new content is welcome.
In case of skills its poor element HIII only 28 and with 3 lvls. Mod with more skills and more levels is needed eg 100 skills x 10 lvls.

Im gonna replacing the solid backgrounds for images if possible or for new portraits. Your examples are welcome. I think i gonna need redo all the pictures in the end. H3 style has some 'dark line blurred', but just after.

About heroes as lucian, erwarth or another ones with upgrades. I think they gonna be 'no specialities' for AI, but thats not a terrible problem i guess.

I would like new secondary abilities, very much. Maybe some with 2 or 4 levels, but i don't like the +10 different secondaries. Deal with the limitation is tatical too.

---

For now are 26 neutral creatures. 5 my own .defs. More 8 from Ruins. There's 71 heroes posted on tumblr. More 13 already made. Just 1 artifact made, not posted.

The current main goal is 100 heroes, then do the remaining background (Just 37/85 are complete), then refine and rebalance. The creatures im testing sometimes for things like "i liked the model? its cool?". Not much about balance.

On thing to say, its i can make defs from League of Legends champions, thats a solid database, like Spartan:


Of course, theres the town to finish. But i will.

So maybe more towns? To more creatures if you want big expansion.
Yes limit to 8 skills is very good but only 3lvls is bad so 8 x 10 lvls is enough. I dont want so much skills for one hero too. Only if will be a lot to choice.

HV is very very far from HIII rather HI... But if you want  near H3 give realistic countryside as background.
