It's quite a bit tougher than Hellfire.
It does not support Multi Player (Sorry but neither did “Hellfire”, EVER). I
didn't want it to anyway as not all of the quests are present in multi & I
wanted ALL the quests.
I have used almost every available graphic on the CD. That was my intention. I have warped effects in this mod to suit my needs. This is why you can't play multi player. For example both "Heal Other" & "Resurrect" spells have been changed (to "Exodus" & "Summon dead"). Tons of new monsters, so many you might never see a monster twice. Lots of new spells. Old spells have been beefed up. Lots of new items and most unique items have been changed. Where ARE all those people who went with Lazarus to save Albrect? You'll learn their fate in this mod.

Monsters: Where ARE all those people who went with Lazarus to save Albrect? You'll learn their fate in this mod. Many new creatures have been added. Dragons, Vampires (I call them Vampyres)
Spawn (Yup, THE Spawn) Werewolves, Mummies Oh yeah, MY Burning Dead really burn (or at least glow like coals) ALSO there are not many duplicated monsters, you may play 10 games & never see the same monsters twice. Some monsters are in every game such as the town's folk.
Unique Monsters: Most changed if only in name or colour. Lazarus has a guest... Meet Wirt's mom Canace, Lachdanan MAY want your 'nads in this version. (OR maybe not...) Bosses for all
the new monsters. (IE: Dracolich - Undead Dragon...)
Spells: Lots of new spells. Apocalypse is no longer the strongest spell. Some spells will ONLY be found on unique items, staves or scrolls.

Ball

portal

Some

“Firebolt” - to Fireball (Just what IS a Fire "BOLT" anyway??)
“Infravision” - to Demon Sight
“Stone Curse” - to Deep Freeze
“Holy Bolt” - to Holy Fire
“Immolation” - to Fire Storm (Its QUITE loud!)
“Fireball” - to Meteor (Multiple Fire Balls)
“Chain Lightning” - to Voltaic Surge (Residual effects added)
“Blood Star” - to Vampyric Orb
Old spells have been beefed up:
-“Voltaic Surge” has a residual Lightning Effect, (Like a charged bolt)
- Lava Wave burns up the debris on the ground as it passes over thefloor.
- Teleport has a "Beam me up Scotty" effect.
- Fire Storm (Old Immolation) Has a half-decent sound now.
- Meteor (Old Fireball) has multiple balls.
Spells taken out of the game:
Ring of Fire, Heal Other & Resurrect - These have been changed to Arena, Exodus & Summon Dead spells respectively. (Single player game right?)
Items: Lots of new items. More of everything. Smaller axes are one handed weapons now. (Bard is awesome with two axes equipped. Crossbows, New Armour, Some items are the same with
different pictures. A one handed staff called a "wand". Welcome Scarab & Ankh. These are amulets
that are dropped by mummies. Sell them for quick gold. Some armour graphics have been changed so that you can wear plate armour for instance & use the medium armour graphic on your character.
New Runes, too much to list here.
Unique Items: Almost all of them have been changed. Some of the swords & bows cast spells like a staff. I won't describe any of them now that would ruin the surprise but some are REALLY different. Some spells can only be found on unique items.
There are also rumours of a
unique book...
