    That's nice to hear. Fear of Improved Mind Flayers and hundrers of reloads would've scared me from playing. I need to learn/develop/copy better tactics first :)

    @Marvin^42

    I fixed the Nishruu problem and applied both changes (i.e. revising the script and changing the XP value to zero).

    You are doing a great job by reporting these cases to me. Thanks!

    EDIT: I just found some more flaws in Nishruu's cre file and fixed them.

    EDIT 2: More similar problems (and more) detected and fixed for summoned Hakeashar, Djinni and Efreeti. (Especially, Hakeashar's cre file had lots of flaws.)

    EDIT 3: The XP exploit issue fixed and blocked for all other summoning spells as well.

    Thanks, I like contributing too. But since I play unmodded, I expect that stuff I notice might already be fixed in your mod, so there might be some unnecessary reports, hope you don't mind :)

    Hi all.

    Off-topic here, but I just decided to go through bg2 again after a long absence, and reading around here this mod seems to be the current flavour.

    Unfortunately the download site is down, and though I made the donation to DH, it looks like it's gonna be a while before it's up again.

    So I'm wondering if anyone here can provide an alternative download location, or better still email me a copy of the mod to asaroha@netspace.net.au. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Nice Asaroha, I am glad you can play it now too! I think you should thank Shaitan for it though.

    Care to tell us about your experiences of the mod later? I think this mod is one of the best ever made! :thumb:

    Looks like Silverstar liked IA 3. IA 4 will probably be better, and that's definitly something.

    No no, I did not like IA V3. I actually fell in love with it! Really! I never thought I could have more difficult fights than my old mods offered, but there it is! And with less cheese&cheat, and more quality scripting too!

    @asaroha:
    Don't you want to wait for IA v4.0 before starting your game? (I recommend that you do so, because you will need to start a new game after updating the mod to version 4, anyway. And v4.0 is much better than v3.0) Of course, you can start a testing game-session with v3.0 if you wish, but keep checking the mod's forum for v4.0 and start a new game as soon as it is released. I hope that the downlaod center will be working again by the time the new version of the mod is ready.

    By the way, a new version of Auramaster Druid Kit is also coming soon.

    @Silverstar:
    Thanks for the kind words.

    Improved Anvil makes my head hurt. I spent 3 hours (RL) trying to take down Samia & co before giving up and not bothering to get the stuff that makes them show up now (got to go back to the Windspear Hills to kill Firkraag anyway), only to find Tazok was beefier than I remember, he sucked up all my healing potions and memorised spells... then Firkraag's mage buddy decided to re-read his spellbook too! What used to be a nice simple xp giver turned into a nightmare! To quote McDonalds... "buh buh bah buh... I'm lovin' it!"
