NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

Hello forum users, this question is not related to this mod. I found a mod called LotA1-3_TotE, and it has a hero for Necropolis, Archibald, whose passive ability is that all neutral undead join the hero in an amount of 50% of the squad. The question is, is this a cheating mod or is it balanced? I just played 30 turns, and I already have about 50 dragons, 200 liches, and 400 vampires that have joined me.

This is a special ability for the Campaign hero, Marcel (1st expansion, Necropolis campaign; there might also be a scenario with his participation). In the original, it also scales with the hero's level.


The nuance is that in the RPG file, you can only adjust the bonus from the level, but the initial number (50%) is hardcoded in the "exe" file. This complicates the task of "balancing" for those who want to see this ability on regular maps. But there are solutions. As can be seen from the name, it has its limitations, plus it is not applicable to "team stacks" (when there are several different creatures in the group, even if they are all Undead from Necropolis). But in general, it is true that under normal conditions, this ability is super imba; the more Necromancers appear from the generation, and the higher the difficulty of the map (as well as the number of mobs in these groups), the more unfair this ability will be in the reality of PvP.

Campaign specializations often shine with imbalance, in favor of the gameplay of the missions and campaigns themselves. And there are even more "magnificent" specializations.
