Added code to make it load after Unleveled Mobs.
Added Large Dragonling.
I'll have to look at your code and see how you did the load order thing, hopefully it's not too confusing to do, lol.

Nah, it's pretty simple. You just need a bit of code at the end of the dfmod.json file.

Code: Select all

"Contributes": null,
    "Dependencies": [
        {
            "Name": "unleveled mobs",
            "IsOptional": false,
            "IsPeer": false,
            "Version": null
        }
    ]
This part I assume?

Yes. I had to just use trial and error to figure out what true/fals combination prodced the correct result though.
Also, the name of the other mod should be written as it appears in the mod list.

That's a small code mess-up on my part. I'll fix that in the next release. Just ignore the message. All it's meant to do is make you load Meaner Monsters after Unleveled Mobs.

What I'd really like to see tested some day, is zombies with their classic stats (or at least dreadful stats for somewhat low level characters), but moving quite slowly, say 1/3 or 1/4 their speed.
Idea being that players that have a too hard time fighting them could have the possibility to bypass and outrun them, leading to more tactical and varied combat. That would raise tension though, because you still wouldn't want to be surprized by one, that you either didn't see or forgot you outrun on the way in...

Yeah, being able to manipulate enemy movement speed would be fantastic. Both to increase and lower it. So not all enemies were possible to be kited. For example centaurs or werewolfs should have quite fast movement speeds. While as you say, zombies should be quite slow. I feel atronachs also should be slowed down a bit.

Being able to outrun centaurs on foot is the only thing that kept me alive following roads between cities in the first few levels.

I must say, the Emperor's Champion certainly got soft in the imperial city before starting out on this quest!
