Hello, long time no see! Been playing this gem recently again (always come back to it eventually) and there was one thing I was wanting to do.
I see Balkoth profits, at least on Hard, from additional stats. Can I humbly request for the knowledge as to where the code in gs.mpq that overrules this? I've been looking in places like the scenario.gs file and a couple others but I'm not finding it. Help very appreciated!

deldr and levelmods are the files of interest. also the balkoth sycythe artifact itself, and balkoth shield even.
Those artificats have better stats for the AI on hard mode, if I recall right.
Also, in the mod, there are stat boosts for AI controlled armies after certain turn inervals. I think it's every 35 or 70 turns. Might be also in levelmods.

Might be also in levelmods. levlmods5.gs does seem to contain most related code to that : in fact, commenting out the section about "/stat_bonus_table" (self-explainatory, should have scrolled up a bit when I looked for the unit reference) made Balkoth realy weaker. However, this made Balkoth way too weak! I guess what I'm looking for is the part about units gaining stats after a certain amount of time passed (wasn't even aware this was really a thing). Will keep trying things. |

Thinking about it I think a good workaround would just be to increase the required "amount-of-turns-passed" values by a pinch, hence slowing down their scaling in a way that doesn't change most of the code, while also toning a bit down Balkoth's extra stats from the /stat_bonus_table to my liking. In any case, this answers my questions, thank you very much again Mantera  |
