Twisted Rune is next and ready for testing. Notably, Revanek is beefed up with unique items (same as those assigned from Forgotten Armament), and he is given the Wizard Slayer kit. This will get infinitely more nasty with my Wizard Slayer Enhancements (Skills and Abilities) and EEex as each hit will then have a 10% chance of dispel while bypassing PfMW and the like.

Please Note: This is a pre-alpha release. All of these scripts are completely rebuilt from the ground up, so I appreciate any and all feedback received for those who which to test these encounters. Thank you!

Haven't been able to try it yet, but small heads up, when installing it it seems like it copies the solak1.bcs file into its own folder inside override. I think it might be feeling a tad lonely, sitting alone at the corner.

[morpheus562]

Thank you! I'll see what is going on.

EDIT: And fixed. Thank you.

Yes, I identified and have it corrected in the next release. Thank you!

Hello there..

One of my favorite components of the OG Tactics was the Fighter Archer kit. Do you have plans to revive this kit in a future release?

Thanks!

Hello there, any chance to include Improved Ilyich in your project?

Many thanks for your efforts morpheus!

Honestly, this is one of the components I'm not very interested in converting simply because it's always come across to me as more of a joke/meme for getting as absurdly difficult as possible. I'm not saying I won't do it in the future, but I'm just being realistic in how I see it.

My apologies, I thought I responded to this awhile ago. No, I do not have an intention of bringing any of the kits over. There are currently so many new Archer kits and tweaks that I'd recommend going with any of the myriad of other options.

For anyone who has chosen to test the pre-release alpha, thank you! I am happy to hear any and all feedback regarding the fights.

Aww, I'll add my vote for this one regardless Yes, it's ridiculous, but it was also one of the most memorable challenges for me way back when!

I'm actually super hyped for this mod overall, you seem to be introducing many cool fixes and balance changes. I was thinking of starting a playthrough sooner rather than later, but I will wait for it.

Do you know, perhaps, if I could start a Trilogy run with this mod installed and then update it before I move to BG2, without issues? Or does the install have to be untouched after starting a new game in BG1?

Some parts of Tactics will be installed prior to SCS while others after. If you try to reinstall any component, then all components after it will also be uninstalled and reinstalled which can cause issues. My advice when it comes to most mods is to not do reinstalls during the course of a game.

Alright then, I'll be over there in the corner cheering you on in this endeavor for a time being
