Primal's Extra-Deconstruct Mod your experiences

What is grey magic? EDIT: In your play experience what have you experienced w this mod. Skip the grey magic -not specific enough.

[BATTLEMODE]

Might be best posting these questions in the "Mods" sub-forum here.

I looked at the "mods" s-forum. Seems devoted to issues / problem / frustrations with mods not working. As you wish.

Best bet is to post in the mod thread at the stardock forums for FE:LH

Here is a direct link to that thread. He (mod author) doesn't post there often anymore, but did just post in the last day or so...

Thank you. I was already aware of that set of posts. What I am interested in in peoples experience playing, tactics, tips, yada. Some people call these questions.

Yep. Thought you wanted to know what Grey Magic was. Guess my point was it would probably be best to post that question in the thread on Stardock forum as I don't think Primal looks or posts here very often. And certainly he could help with that question. I believe he told me one time that the lore of that mod was based on the Lords of Magic game. But I'm not sure if that Grey Magic is actually part of the xtra mod or perhaps one of the other compatible mods most people install along with xtra.

Before the recent patching, the last probably 100-150 hours I played this game were all with Xtra installed. It is certainly a great mod, with tons of content. The problem of course is it has been a while, and don't really remember the specifics.

There are certainly some little idiosyncrasies of playing with the mod. For instance there is a scroll in your inventory at the beginning which IIRC he included to help the AI leaders but that you can use also. It lets the leader choose the class of that character right away. I think he did this to encourage the AI down the right path of playing that particular leader effectively. Depending on which you pick there are also special spells for summoning the special shards in the xtra mod.

I would say to just start playing and see what happens, just be prepared to not want to finish the first game or two as you learn/realize things.

edit: I'll also add, I love the work Primal did in expanding some of the UI windows. Tiny bit of work to get them installed correctly, but well worth it in the long run with the extra info exposed, and nice laid out.

>1> Yes, Primal and I go way back. Stardockians - back to the original (no longer available) predecessor to this game. My icon is based on that game -'the fallen enchantress.' (Used with Stardock 's permission.) There are people playing on Steam that are not Stardockins. I'm hoping some of them will tell about their experiences playing. >2> Yes, layout work is outstanding. >3> Many quirks. Cast the shard spell when too close to target city = shard MAY land one you. Game over. LOL. Path of the totem kills a hero. I did not that coming. etc.
