Melnibonee Mod - Suggestions needed

[PrinzMegaherz]

Hi there!

I'm working on a mod for Vanheim based on the eternal hero chronicles from Michael Moorcock.

Of course I want to field Elric as an (anti)hero. However, I feel unable to balance his magical abilities. If taken directly from the books, he should have more then 5 in every magic paths (he summons multiple elemental queens and even chaos lords, comparable to greater demons). Of course this is way to much for dominions.

What would you give him?

Linked randoms so that he has somewhat different powers each time he appears.

I am not sure if it can be modded yet though.

Horror mark, cursed, cursing ability, base encumberance = 50, and a built-in lifedraining greatsword.

Very nice suggestion. I will have a look.

I thought about diseased with recuperation. That way he will die if he does not fight over a long period of time or has no regenerating items. But I think we all agree with the base encumberance and the big sword

Randomly kills other heros and units in the same province ?

Sword should definitely be cursed as well and probably cause attacks of some kind.

Add berserk(+0). Elric has no control over his sword once it starts slicing.

Now Corum's eye, that would be fun to have

Besides Elric, who perhaps is either a pretender or a starting commander, then what other units would be possible in the mod?

[Slygar]

Dont gimp Elric so much that he is useless... remember he is very powerful. 50 enc is a little ridiculous, how would he even move? I hope you meant 5.. The disease/recup seems like a neat idea though.

Albino weaklings don't deserve less .

Since when has high encumberance prevented someone to move?
