SpellForce Reimagined mod for SpellForce: The Order of Dawn

The questplace armor merchant sells a "helmet of the eyplorers". While the idea does have writing potential it is more likely to be a typo. Unless you want to make it a third eye helmet or something with custom stats

The corrupted rocksmiths on coop 30 light can petrify targets up to level 1,2,3. You probably intended the number to be 30 or so

Add some boss enemies to freeplay mode, at level 25 it felt like there were no more challenging foes left

Brief first impressions:
Overall I'm enjoying the mod very much so far.

1. Does this mod use a different way of showing healthbars or is this a glitch? I don't think it was ever like this, nor did I have a healthbar bug quite like this before, though I once had no healthbars at all.
Nothing with full health shows a healthbar, but EVERYTHING, friend or foe, with less than full health shows them, that's ok with small skirmishes but in large fights I can't tell what's going on, I can't find my rune hero half of the time, a cloud of orc healthbars covers everything. Last I played OoD (on 1.6x) there was no healthbars unless a unit/control group was selected, I think that's better, or at least what I'm used to. Is it possible to change/fix this?

2. Speaking of large fights, I appreciate the increased challenge, I really do, anyone playing this mod will be a Spellforce veteran, but I've done Eloni and the number of enemies was like 10x (or more) of the original and they're more dangerous too, that seems excessive for this early in the game. Or is this because I have hard difficulty in the settings as a force of habit? Was the mod balanced for normal to already be the default challenging difficulty?

3. Leveling seems significantly faster without any grinding, although it's early levels and there's tons of enemies, so maybe it slows down in the mid game. Not sure how I feel about it.

4. I think the random drops from generic enemies were removed, I haven't seen a single one. I guess that's to discourage grinding and remove clutter, but as a result it's super hard to get some early game items like firesteel shield or militia helmet. IIRC a few items in the base game can't be obtained at all unless they drop from a random grunt. Maybe those should be added somewhere to early game merchants or enemies? Or random chest drops? It always bothered me in OoD that the early game locations have merchants with a bunch of late game items for sale, but most items for skill levels 1-4 are only random drops (often low chance), and then maybe show up 5 maps later when they're basically useless.

5. With the extended UI info, the production stats with the resource cost for units shows very close to the bottom, below a wall of other info, maybe that should be at the top, as in most RTS? That info is not there when I hover over a produced unit, so it wouldn't mess it up there.

6. The little aesthetic changes and additions to the maps and are very nice.

Edit: more
7. The cleaver (level 1 large blade) deals blunt damage. Should be cutting, unless it's a VERY blunt cleaver.

8. Speaking of which, weapons have stats like 80% piercing or 50% cutting, what does it mean? That x% of the weapon's damage is of that type? What about the remaining 20% or so percent?

Hello TheDarkRuler,

I am playing your Mod and enyoing it so far! I have a little issue, that the spell description don't work properly(I am playing without extended UI). For example: The pain spell does not display damage values(It shows this instead {{0}}) and the duration of spells is display in an weird format like ({[4.1]:3.5 seconds}). Maybe you thought it's supposed to be no problem because we should play with extended UI, but I cannot do this since I have healthbarfix applied.
Greetings R.

Hello i wish to try this mod but after instalation i see i dont have any text bar or hp bar this is weird, any chance to fix this ?

Hello creator! You making very good and super fun !!! You don't think about added new maps or transforming maps from other mods to your mod ? Od coure after asking other creators for a consen and I can say with certainty - your version is a real diamond edition. Really good job - especially rework spells and races and new bosses.

3 attributes point was missing to reach 20 lvl each, when I created Heavy combat arts and white magic
