Posts from Walkthroughs for custom maps.

Is this an old post – an exercise in irony?

Here's another interesting achievement for the future: complete it faster than 79.

It would be great if it were also possible to easily edit the properties of creatures and spells; then the maps would be on a completely different level. I don't know how feasible this is from a technical standpoint.

I might be wrong, but I did some research on this topic.
I think it's technically impossible for a map. It's built into the game itself.
For example:
I took some creature spells and put them into the scholars/scrolls, etc.
It was sometimes amusing, but it had no practical use.
Here's a link for reference:

The map only contains settings for objects, which are variable values in the game.

Apparently, the cost of spells and creature abilities are "constants" (taking into account the environment, such as the magic level affecting the cost of spells, etc.).

There's an opinion that the restriction on the availability of fire magic after the second day can be bypassed. The day counter on the map (as well as many other counters in the game) is represented by a 16-bit number. Therefore, after the 32767th day, the counter goes into "negative," after which events, for example, those tied to specific "dates," stop triggering - until the 65536th day (which is also the 1st day) arrives. I think that this will also work with quests that depend on deadlines, although it needs to be checked, of course.))

If it were also possible to easily edit the properties of creatures and spells, then the maps would be on a completely different level. I don't know how this would work from a technical point of view.

I tested this idea experimentally. Indeed, after 1171-1-7 (32767 days), you can pass any passage guard limited by a non-negative time, i.e., less than 37268 days. In the attached save, the guard allows passage up to 112, but it can still be passed on 1171-2-1. Thus, all such timings, except for direct defeat within a certain time/direct victory for the computer, become irrelevant)
Yes, this feature also allows you to create guards limited not only by the condition "no later than," but also "no earlier than" - if only someone in their right mind would come up with a map for 1170+ months).

My old post about fire magic in the second Paragon.

I tested this idea experimentally. Indeed, after 1171-1-7 (day 32767), you can pass any passage guardian limited by a non-negative time, i.e., less than day 37268.

You can learn fire magic to 200% on Paragon in the distant future. Maybe Rince will make 3.0 so challenging that just completing it will be an achievement.
