Posts from NCF – Extended list of Neutral creatures. Auto-translated

This NCF mod remains as anti-elf as it always was. More! More! More creatures. All sorts and kinds. And to hell with the lists of sworn enemies. You're on the right track, comrades. Just a little more and you'll be close to a holocaust.

Now all the Dark Elves are in NCF! If I’m not mistaken, there are now 33 of them.
No attempts to create a new race – only neutrals.
The mod contains 21 standard creatures and 12 RTF ones (troglodytes, giants, riders, and faceless).
Old mod remains untouched.

Albasty are a downgrade of Peri/Nunkugs. Psatha planned to make them, but it seems he doesn't have time for NCF right now.

And who are Peri and Nunukungi?

For your information, Atlant, the creatures have already been nerfed. And I've seen more complaints than praise about it. As for the imbalance... these are neutral creatures.

I'm really tired of talking/writing about this! Personally, I don't quite understand the position of the "whiners"; sometimes they complain that the AI is too weak, and other times they say it's too strong!

I decided to get to the bottom of this issue.
So, in December 2016, a stream was held for the NCF mod; here are the results: /post/1067826/
Overall, people liked the mod, but several comments were made about certain creatures. The point is that during the stream, they discussed creatures from the old pack – from 2016, and there were indeed some shortcomings and balance issues in that pack.
For fairness' sake, I should note that the EWA modification also includes the old, unfinished creature pack from 2016, which explains why those who played that old version, which is integrated into EWA, had complaints. Currently, the pack has been updated, and the balance has been significantly improved. In addition, new creatures have been added.
The conclusion is obvious: to reduce the number of complaints, many of which are actually justified, it is necessary to update the EWA version by including the new, revised creature pack. Let's hope that the author of the compilation will return to development and make the necessary changes

But while the author is away, the only option is to add the new pack manually

Here's a more detailed explanation regarding the balance improvements.

In short, some creatures had abilities removed that significantly enhanced them. As for recalculating the main parameters, it's hard to say – I don't know what you suggested before.

however, I still had a faint hope that they actually did a real rebalancing, but alas... and in general, someone needs to take this and do it; I can show where to get the rebalancing file and which buttons to press later!

psatkha, if the authors of this mod couldn't achieve balance, then I definitely won't be able to do it.
I doubt that it's even possible for one person to create a fair balance. What one person considers logical and fair, another might consider utter nonsense.
However, the balance issue needs to be addressed, so I suggest we bring this up for general discussion. For example, we could hold a vote on the most imbalanced creatures in this thread. Yes, it won't be quick! Because there are many creatures, but we need to start somewhere!

due to subjective perception, one person will not be able to achieve balance. What one person considers logical and fair, another will simply consider nonsense.
