So I decided I would like to try my hand at modding. One thing that I thought could improve the game is creating more interesting characters that you could come across in the world. I have a couple problems with the current champions that are in the game:
1. Generic level ups - Every character can level in any direction they want and often there is a distinct better pick for each character archetype that you are working with.
2. They are mercenaries - There is no back story for whoever you come across in the world, it's just a race to pay the champ's recruiting fee.
In order to add some flair into worlds I want to create some champs that cause a little bit more of an attachment. To do this I am planning on a couple things:
-Each character created will have abilities, completely distinct to them that they can select on certain level ups(currently set up to be at 4, 7, and 10.)
-Each character will have both strengths and weaknesses to make them more unique.
-All are recruited in more immersive ways than walk up next to them and right click.
It is very important to note that this is the first mod I have ever created.
Currently, I have created 4 different champs and their recruiting quests. I won't ruin their (pretty basic) quest lines but they are:
Mouse - A diminutive archer who has situational abilities to aid her allies.
Brashear - A large man, dominated by rage. Hard hitting abilities that leave him quite vulnerable.
Rachel - A healer who uses her abilities by manipulating the power of crystals.
Boldin - A man who is focused on defense more than offense.
You can download what I've done so far here - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33772936/Heroes.zip
Most recent version is compatible with the mod manager and Stormworld. Ignore the configuration.femm in the zip and just extract the folder to your mods directory if you arent using the mod manager.
I would appreciate any and all feedback. If this is something that people are interested in my goals are to create full quest lines for each character to further develop each character as well as adding new characters of course.
