Enhancement Cost Reduction

(Note: Mods cannot be used in multiplayer campaigns yet. Devs say this will be enabled in a future update.)

In this patch, the developers changed the way things work to give players the option to play with Permanent enhancements like the base game. There is also a "Reduced cost" per character option. Unfortunately, in rebalancing the costs, they also INCREASED the price of some enhancements such as Strengthen now costing double its tabletop value.

I am therefore leaving this mod up to allow people an easy way to tweak these values back down (or use my reduced values)

My mod will only change the per-character enhancements, not the permanent enhancement mode, since those numbers and systems are how it worked in the original.

A reduction to enhancement costs to counteract *developer changes from the core rules* to no longer allow players to spend their retirement gold or keep enhancements.

Normally in Gloomhaven tabletop, retired characters are forced to sell all equipment and can use this gold to buy permanent enhancements on cards to use on future characters of that class.

In Gloomhaven Digital, enhancements will NOT transfer between characters. Additionally, characters can NO LONGER spend their retirement gold on enhancements of cards due to this change. Taking huge amounts of gold out of the player economy and putting the base game balance of enhancement costs wildly out of wack.

These changes, taken together, make it extremely cost prohibitive to enhance a character and lower the value for future characters, requiring you to rebuy the same enhancements every time you play a new character of that class.

To adjust for this the following is the new price of the enhancements:

This mod is created for personal and community use for anyone who wants to have these things changed. This mod is OPTIONAL and you are free to ignore it without leaving mean comments below.

Thank you


If you want to change the enhancement costs to your own values:

1. Click the modding button in the main menu
   
2. Click "Manage Mods"
   
3. Click "Edit" on this mod
   
4. In the "ModdedYML" folder, Open the "Enhancements.YML" file with a text editor, (I use Notepad++)
   
5. Change the numbers to your liking and SAVE.
   
6. You might have to hit "Validate" again if the button appears, or recompile your ruleset (as seen in screenshots)

Using the main menu to load games will DISABLE active mods! (Even if it says Modded: Yes) To play with mods you must always start from the "Modding" button, not "Campaign" (even when loading an existing modded campaign)

So it's: Modding -> Click your ruleset, -> and hit play, -> then click "Load Campaign" to ensure your mods are enabled.

(You don't have to recompile it or anything, just make sure you're using the "Modding" menu (notice how the last image in the gallery says "Modded Campaign" you need to be there!)
