Fantasy Army - Wandering Monsters Expansion

Fantasy Army – Wandering Monsters Expansion Mod. This mod adds 53 new Wandering Monsters to the game. These monsters appear throughout the game, from the Ancient to the Information Eras. Some are weaker than their normal Barbarian counterparts, while some are much, much more powerful.

Unlike normal Barb units, who appear in areas not settled by major civilizations, Wandering Monsters can appear anywhere on the map, including long-civilized areas.

Many of these units use customized attack animations to give them a more "magical" feel.

WMs will appear somewhere on the map about every 3-4 turns. They appear more frequently on larger maps and at higher difficulty levels. They appear more often at faster game speeds as well. If the "No Barbarians" option is selected, Wandering Monsters will not appear, either.

There are 3 basic difficulty levels: EASY, SAVAGE, and APOCALYPTIC. These levels determine how powerful WMs are, but also how often normal Barb units will spawn and how well they keep pace with tech development. In the Easy level, WMs are 75% as powerful as they normally would be. Other Barb units spawn less than they normally would. In the Savage level, monsters are 50% stronger than normal. In the Apocalyptic level, they are 300% stronger. In both of those latter 2 levels, normal Barb units spawn more frequently than in the normal game, while they also keep better pace technologically.

The mod uses the SAVAGE level by default. Changing the difficulty level involves opening the configuration file, then "uncommenting" the UPDATE statements corresponding to the desired level, while ensuring all the UPDATE statements in the other difficulty levels remain commented out. Instructions can be found in the mod manual, "Fantasy Army Wandering Monster Manual - V1.pdf" which is in the basic mod folder.


NOTE: This mod is intended to complement the base "Fantasy Army" mod:

However, it can be played independently of that mod, if desired. Current plan is to update Fantasy Army to remove the Barbarian Monsters from that mod entirely. It can also be played with or without the Fantasy Army - Arcane Allies Expansion mod.
