The Protectors of Etheria is a stand-alone mod of the game Warlords Battlecry 3 (i.e. it can be run without having the original game installed - 100% free full game). It is an improved RTS/RPG game with new campaigns, quests, terrain, units, items, heroes, modding features and more. Beta versions available for download!
Coming in 0.8.4 ...
is sounds mysterious... so mysterious, that I donĀ“t even get what it is about... :/
If you think robert et al are weak here, in campaign mode, try to make them stronger in their respective chapters (cross-reference between chapters and campaign).
making it short: "play the chapters first pal!"
That pretty much sums it. AI heroes were never affected by the items they were wearing (particularly in damage type and spell chances per hit) and now, with version 0.8.4, not only was that bug fixed, but companions get the levels, skills, stats, spells, items, retinue etc. from the previous chapters as well (in beta, Esgaleth). Therefore, it is good to first finish the chapters before playing the campaign.
O.o By........ Crap I forgot most of the deities in this game, it's been so long XD. Oh right, BY TEMPEST'S BEARD! Thass amazing!
