More challenge for MM8? Just what it needed. Count me in
EDIT: But how to get this thing to work? Copying the file to the DATA directory doesn't seem to be sufficient
EDIT2: Somehow I managed to get it to work, seems you needed to start a new game, that's what you needed to do.
I gotta say, this mod finally makes MM8 the challenge it should have been! I've got a team over level 50, elevated to that level by Armageddoning the Plane of Air. Dark Elf and Cleric promoted, Necromancer, Knight and Vampire not yet. The game is at least 3 or 4 times harder, I struggled to clean out the Alvar Ogre Fortress with my team at these very levels, had to return to heal 3 times when cleaning out the Uplifted Library, and the Mad Necromancer's Lab destroys me outright. Good thing the monsters give more experience too, there finally is a chance of tapping into those seldom-unlocked levels above 150, and - what's funny - you're gonna need them. The game is even harder than MM6 was, and that one had plenty of town-healing in the midst of a dungeon. I love this little bit of frustration, it gives much more satisfaction when you do after all clean out the dungeon in question.
I'm afraid to even try the mod for MM7, it'll likely be murderous.
