Posts from Мод Master of puppets v3 "Battery"

The author of the text, as well as the author of the mod itself: MoP (also known as MasterOfPuppets, also known as Master)

System Requirements: Windows XP and later.
HD Mod Support: not supported.

Key features of the mod (in relation to WoG):
- 160 new artifacts (including 13 composite ones).
- 60 new monsters (including a new combat unit - Airship).
- 7 new spells.
- 2 new secondary skills (Construction and Combat Training).
- Ability to gain up to 28 skills.
- Town relics - artifacts placed in towns (34 pieces).
- Building towns on the adventure map.
- 10 new map objects with unique properties.
- 3 new creature repositories.
- 1 new overlay landscape.
- Interface that reduces most unnecessary actions.
- Exclusive editors for monsters, spells, and the town building tree.
- Changes and increased complexity of the balance.
- Hero weddings.
- Raid bosses: neutral monsters with immense health.
- Fixes for bugs in previous versions of MoP (v.1 and v.2), as well as WoG and SoD.
- Absence of incompatible options that lead to crashes (as was the case in WoG).
- AI that will challenge you on the maximum difficulty.

[!] - The game is absolutely stable. All possible and tested crashes have been fixed (unlike WoG).
[!!!] - but! there is no support for network play (over LAN ("TCP/IP")). However, single-player mode and "Hot-Seat" mode work perfectly and stably.

You can find the complete list of new features here.

MoP v.3.07 installer (final version)
Installation: extract the archive to the folder with SoD/Complete/WoG/TE/ERA/HotA and later add-ons. The language of the game on which the mod is installed does not matter. Beware of cut-down versions.

Today (11.11.2016) at 18:00 Moscow time, a stream titled "MoP v3 Battery" will be held on the channel:

The stream will feature a comparison of MoP with its predecessor, WoG, from which the mod has significantly evolved over the years.
The stream will be especially useful for those who are still hesitant to install the mod due to some prejudices or misconceptions. :smile16:

- Weddings of heroes;

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

MoP has a comprehensive guide to all the new features. It clearly explains what and how. Here is a small excerpt:

Marriage relations can arise between two heroes of different genders and absolutely any alignments. To do this, they must get married (meet), having two Wedding Rings (artifacts, of course).
Marriage has three bonuses that depend on the marriage level 1...5 (depending on the duration in days):
1. Receive 10-50% of the spouse's combat experience.
2. Morale: +1 ... +5.
3. Attack or Defense bonus 5-25%
The husband receives a percentage to attack, and the wife receives a percentage to defense (the wife inspires, the husband protects). At the same time, it does not matter if the hero has this skill - the bonus is simply added. It is not amplified by special abilities.

In Mourning, the bonus is inverted.
If one of the spouses dies or is even simply dismissed, the other falls into a state of Mourning, which also has its own duration, equal to the marriage level multiplied by 7 days. Mourning is characterized by a decrease in Morale - first by a value equal to the marriage level, but each week it decreases by one (the hero gradually "forgets" his spouse). Also, the Attack/Defense bonus is inverted during this period (the widower fights worse, the widow is poorly protected).

The stream will be especially useful for people who are still hesitant to install the mod due to some prejudices or misconceptions. :smile16:

What prejudices are there?! I would have been playing it for a long time, but I'm torn between work and OpenXcom. :) The mod is great. The End of the World has been legally cancelled, so there is time. :D

Greetings!
Please clarify: can this mod be installed simply on the standard SoD version? Or is it necessary to first install WoG, TE, etc., in order to have all the mod's features?

Installation: Extract the archive to the folder containing SoD/Complete/WoG/TE/ERA/HotA and later expansions.

I think everything is perfectly clear.

Thank you for copy-pasting!

You're welcome. I myself suddenly became curious whether this would work on a vanilla Heroes installation (i.e., without Sod/Complete)?

So, you're saying the High Resolution mod doesn't work with MoP?

So, you're saying the High Resolution mod doesn't work with MoP?

No, it doesn't. Or do you have any doubts about that?

Guys, this mod doesn't need any additional modifications. Just install it as is.

For everything else, go here. You'll find all the answers there.

As for mod compatibility, you can create a list of compatible mods yourself. Just don't stay silent.

Colleagues, greetings! I have a problem. I installed MoP on top of WOG. The game launches and works. When I create a random map of the smallest size, everything works fine. When I create a random map of any larger size, an error occurs at the end of the map creation, after which the game closes. Loading any scenario results in the same error. How can I fix this?
