Isles of Terra Monster Spawn Mod— Log of Modifications

Purposes and Aims

This modification is for Might and Magic combat lovers. It introduces some hardcore elements of Might and Magic 2 to Isles of Terra. Monsters will stay dead... but only for a time. Secondarily, I have attempted to improve the gameplay of Isles by balancing the weaponry/spells/monsters, while adding a few features along the way.

Version 1.0 Changes

Scenario-wide changes

• Many outdoor maps have different monster types added, to make exploration more interesting.
• Almost all maps have a random chance to respawn all non-unique monsters automatically when the party walks over certain squares.
• Additionally, most maps respawn when you leave them.
• The Tomb of Terror does not respawn, due to the requirements of defeating all monsters to advance.

Bugfixes to stock MM3

• The Arena Experience bug is fixed.
• The Damage Resistance 16-bit overflow bug has been fixed. Monster resistance now affects damage as it should.

New events and map-specific changes

• Some interesting fountains have been added to the town of Baywatch. Fountain Head's fountains also have interesting effects.
• Robert the Burgler resides in Wildabar, he'll teach you Skulduggery if you lack a natural brigand in your party makeup... if you got the gold.
• The Arena spawns more randomly picked minor monsters when you choose to fight.
• In A2, there's a hut where you can buy items. If you refused, you never got another chance to buy them. This has been fixed.
• You now get 1000 Experience points and 1000 Gold for every Sacred Silver Skull you bring back to Kranion.
• Bonus Easter Egg: The developers left an entire map in the game resources, which they took out at release. I have restored that map... and left it otherwise untouched. You all will love it. I guarantee it.

Character development

• Statistics are much more important to the power of a character now. You won't notice much difference until you reach 50 in your stats.
• You will be able to see the statistic's bonus easily when you click on stats in the status screen. No more vague "Very Low" or "Astonishing" monikers.
• Archers are now Samurai and class capabilities are re-cast. A couple of other classes are renamed, but otherwise are unchanged.
• Characters generally have higher HP/MP, but attack less often per round.
• Each class has an initial skill, and every race has an initial skill.
• Hirelings cost much less now, making it actually financially viable to carry a full 8 character party.

Spells

• Druids and Rangers have a 36-spell spellbook now.
• Spells are also re-balanced. Heal spells are much more effective. Clerics used to not be able to cure their party fully, yet full resting was achieved with food and 8-hours sleep. Does that make sense??
• The Suppress Poison and Suppress Disease spells have been removed from the game. In their place: Remove Curse and Mental Integrity.
• The Heroism spell only adds a flat +10 to a character's To Hit rating... not a value equal to the caster's level. This spell used to be absurdly powerful.
• The Guild reports the power of most spells (like World of Xeen does); you can access that info by reading a spell's Spell Info.

Items

• Weapons and Armor are exhaustively rebalanced. Bows in particular have been made more useful.
• The chance that certain types of items drop are subtly modified.
• You are more likely to receive multi-enchanted items. Before, the chance to receive 2 enchantments was 4%, and the chance to receive 3 enchantments was 1%. These chances have been quadrupled.
• Blacksmith merchandise has been changed. They also tend to sell a few more random items.
• The equipped torso armor breaks when a character is knocked below -50 HP (before this threshold was -10 HP).
• It now costs much less to identify and to fix broken items in the Smithy.
• The value of Jewelry and Ancient Jewelry has increased to 5000 and 12000 gold.
• Characters can equip any number of amulets now.

Monsters and Battle System

• Monsters have been powered up. Epic battles may be much more commonplace. In my testing, I was often *afraid* when I met a new creature. As it should be
• Bosses have been especially powered up.
• Damage output thresholds have changed. They used to be 10, 50, and 200 damage. Now they are 25, 100, and 400 damage.

Miscellaneous

• Might and Magic 3— Ludmeister's Monster Spawn Mod runs a fair bit faster than stock Might and Magic 3. Loading times when crossing map boundaries are virtually instantaneous.
• Unlocking doors gives less experience.
• A normal step outside takes 3 minutes (before it took 10 minutes).
• Training one character costs 6 hours (before, this took 1 day).
• Many trainers will train your characters to higher levels (especially the trainers on the Great Isle).
