Updates:

I have restructured how I offer the mods I have created/maintain. Go to https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/403950/discussions/1/1697167355211619572/

v.2.0: Large units no longer have wall climb, grub no longer has amphibious, statues now have passwall.
v.1.01 Fixed issues related to icon name, added nonplaceholder icon.

So, Pale Ones suck in vanilla. This is undisputed. But it doesn't have to be this way. I don't think their toolbox is necessarily bad, simply expensive in some regards and easily neutered in others.

This mod attempts to address three of the things that I feel drag down their effectiveness the most; unreasonable costs for rituals after tier 1, powerful and expensive ancients being ruined permanently by a single arrow to the eye, and a lack of reliable options for dealing with walled locations and defending said locations after the fact.

To this end, ritual costs have been reduced to bring them more in line with a model where higher tier rituals are more efficient than their lower tier counterparts, Pale One recruitable units possess the Fast Healing trait, and large units possess the capacity to climb over walls.

I have also taken the liberty of giving cave grubs amphibious. This shouldn't drastically change anything about the tedium of the Agartha exploration minigame.

Mod is available at [Removed]

Feedback is desired. Have fun!
