MP Mod version 1.2 is out! (Community)
With racial governance overhaul (or something).
An Article by Griffith
Not to be confused with PBEM mod (although the version number seems oddly similar). MP Mod is mainly aimed for live MP players, in case some here didn't know. Not that it's forbidden to use in other modes too.
Latest MP Mod update is rather large, and in addition to several other balance changes, it also changes racial governance economy bonuses quite a bit:
- halfling economic RG1: store house is 50 gold cheaper (was 35)
- halfling economic RG2: gives 5 gold, and 50 population (was 75 population)
- halfling necro economic RG2: gives 50 population and 5 mana (was 50 population)
- orc economic RG2: builders (watchtower etc) constructions 40% cheaper (replaces the old bonus)
- orc economic RG4: rushing costs 40% less gold (replaces the old bonus)
- orc necro economic RG4: rushing costs 20% less gold and population (replaces the old bonus)
- human economic RG1: gives 15% settler discount (was 25%)
- human economic RG4: production buildings gain 10 extra production (was 15)
- dwarf economic RG1: gives 5 production and 50 happiness (was 75 happiness)
- dwarf economic RG3: magma forges give 10 additional production and 5 gold (replaces the old bonus)
- draconian economic RG1: mana nodes give +3 mana (replaces the old bonus)
- frostling economic RG2: heroes and leaders gain +5CP (replaces the old bonus)
- high elf economic RG1: public baths give additional +50 happiness, +25 growth (replaces old bonus)
- high elf necro economic RG1: gives 40 discount on cathedral of bones and embalmers guild (replaces old bonus)
- high elf economic RG2: forest hexes give additional +2 happiness and +1 growth (replaces old bonus)
- high elf necro economic RG2: forest hexes gives +2 dead population (replaces old bonus)
- goblin economic RG4: class buildings are 50 gold cheaper (was 20)
- tigran economic RG1: gives 15% settler discount (was 25%)
Most decent players agree that humans and tigrans own too much, and needed to be neutered a bit. Other races have many less useful governance upgrades, which were changed a bit (to hopefully something bit more useful). Full list of changes, and the mod itself can be found at: http://steamcommunity.com/sha...
Have fun!

Hope some Players will find my game.
We often discuss balance issues in game, or in steam with some of the NQ guys. I'll make note of the issues that seem valid, and implement many of them later if its possible to implement. Sometimes I add changes without asking anyone, when the balance problem is obvious enough.
As for the RG changes, players suggested to me which upgrades sucked ass, and I tried putting something more useful their place. It wouldnt have been practical to discuss every detail, cause modding the RG bonuses is bit tricky, and only certain changes can be done. But I tried to make changed that are somewhat thematic for the race in question. Can change them more later if some seem too strong or weak still (or inappropriate).
Btw, this message box keeps deleting my text, which is problematic. Something should be done about it.

I'm curious how you choose your changes? Did you discuss with the live MP community? Who and how?
I sent you an invitation on Steam to discuss more.
