SkyPhoenixTweaker - Heroes and Item Forge - V1b

Description
My mod introduces some changes to Rulers, Heroes and Item Forge, so the game can become more enjoyable.

All features included in Variant 1b:

+ Now all Heroes (including Rulers) get +5 starting skill points.
+ Rulers and Heroes now have +25 health and +3 status resistance to make them more sturdy and reliable at the game beginning.
+ Refunding skill points on all heroes is now much cheaper, only 5 imperium per spent skill points.
+ Refreshing Hero Recruitment Pool is now free, so now you can get the heroes you want without any obstructions on the way.
+ Increased time of auto refreshing Hero Recruitment Pool to 100 turns, because the refresh option is now free, i also wanted to give much more time to collect resources to recruit new ones you want, the heroes you are interrested in wont run away anymore (by default the pool is refreshed after each 5 turns).
+ Reduced Cost to Recruit Heroes, now the base cost is 50 gold and 25 gold per Hero Level.
+ Reduced Cost to Ressurect Dead Heroes, now the base cost is 50 mana and 25 mana per Hero Level.
+ Halved the Cost to Recruit Heroes from Pantheon. They are still expensive but the previous price was too absurd in my mind.
+ Imperium Cost to increase Hero cap is reduced from 30 to 20 per Remaining Turn.
+ Increased Infusion Points cap from 5 to 20, so you can make overpowered items, also tweaked costs in binding essence to make items more affordable and to reflect investments in more infusion points
+ I tweaked item tiers, so now you have to invest more infusion points to get extra bonus stats you gain from higher item tiers.
- Tier 2 starts from 3 infusion points
- Tier 3 starts from 5 infusion points
- Tier 4 starts from 8 infusion points
+ All items are forged instantly.

For more details about as which .rpk files are modified and what values are changed inside there, please read detailed changelog attached to the mod inside mod's folder. Feel free to make any changes to my mod and upload forks.

Ogre 1.0 Update is required for this mod in order to work.

I know its my late response for your comment (steam didnt send me a notification about that), but all dragon lords regardless of their classes or whether they ascended or not get all starting bonuses. Please check if you dont use any other mod after mine in load order which may overwrite part of my work. There is high possibility that mods affecting hero_definitions_dragonlords.rpk file may also overwrite part responsible for dragon lords.

Spellblade DragonLord doesnt start with 5 skillpoints after the tigerpatch btw

If your dragon lords started to look weird, i fixed it. They updated rpk file responsible for dragon lords, if you wondered why they lost suddenly their models, this was the culprit. I had to update tables affecting dragon lords from scratch so if there are unintended things, like i missed something or added wrong property please let me know. For now i decided to make a break from playing AoW4 game and return back when new DLC comes out, however still want to maintain these mods properly and i might be unable to catch everything on my own.

Projects made by other people are not locked (also to mention there is no function allowing to do it), so you should be viable to open acp file inside package manager. I just think you are doing something wrong. Im done with more variants for my mods affecting heroes and forge, so you have to look for an alternative mod or try to follow basic guide provided by the game developer about how to start modding the game.

Hello, can you make a mod with only blacksmithing related features? That means removing hero-related features from variant 1b? I tried to remove the hero feature myself, but I couldn't open the acp file.
