    ----------------
    What changed
    ----------------
    V2.0 changes:
    * Improved the compatibility with other mods.
    * Fixed some bugs.
    * Balanced some battles. The overall difficulty is slightly reduced comparing to V1.1
    * Slightly weakened the summoned demons.
    * Some changes to HOF mode:
    (1)Common summons only have 20% of original HP, while summoned demons and elmentals only have 10%.
    (2)New created party will start at about lvl11. The party will also gain 30,000GP and some random lvl1-lvl9 wizard scrolls.
    (3)Your PCs will gain +5AC, +20MaxHP permanent bonus at lvl6,lvl11,lvl16,lvl21,lvl26.
    (If you don't gain the bonus at these levels, just save and load to trigger the script.)
    (4)Your PCs will gain immunity to spell Disintegrate at lvl21, and gain +2 damage at lvl26.
    (5)Some bosses will drop addition potions of permanent bonus.


    For more details, please check the readme file in the mod.

    That's cool, Tal Rasha! Thanks! Whoa, and I just have started a new game yesterday with the old version. Say, if I uninstall it and install the new version, will it work without problems? I really really want to play your mod to the finish but I just could not find enough time. I had so many diversions...

    If your save is not a HOF one, that should be no problem.
    If your save is a HOF one, you have to start a new game after installing the new version.

    OK, I got it. Killed Xuki with ease yesterday, as I have played this far in your mod before, I knew what to expect and how to counter it. (it was still fun and challenging though!) The rest of the mod is what makes me excited especially right now! I was never was able to defeat the witchy Limha on my previous installation, which was on an older and slower computer as well. Now, on my new, fast and shiny PC, loading times are much faster so I can play without frustration! (since your mod requires a lot of reloading! I love it!)

    Well, I am glad you enjoy it. ;)
    Did you save the bridge in your fighting with Xuki ?

    Ofcourse I am enjoying it, your mod rules! Heh, got any new mod ideas for our dear IWD2? IWD2 is very dear to me as it is the very first IE game I played, and it is that game which taught me all about FRPs, D&D and the like!

    Err, I did not save the bridge, but I did not work hard. (was RPing a naive character who continued on chatting with Xuki in the hopes of making a peaceful solution, heh heh heh.)

    Recently, my real life is a little busy, so I have little time to mod.
    Well, I really would like to mod something new about IWD2 when I have my time again.

    I'm getting error messages with regard to installing tactics after EOA, with the error messages relating to EOA, but still getting the 'installation successfully completed' message.

    1. I've read the solution in the other thread, but it doesnt work for me. I merely get a error about 'parsing' or something. After that, I cant even open EOAsetup.exe without getting an error.

    2. Is there a workaround, like installing tactics 1st etc? Or can I just ignore the error messages?

    TIA for any help

    [edit] worked around it by installing tactics 1st, then EOA

    [​IMG] So far I've had new enemies pop up in 3 separate situations, with impeccable timing. It sure makes battles more diffucult. I barely managed to save the shaengarne bridge, that was the most challenging so far.

    EOA? Ease-of-use?

    You need to update your weidu, EoU's weidu is old. Not a problem with tactics.
