Inherited Techniques
- Tier 2 and 3/4 units now inherit the techniques of the training buildings they went through.
- Example Spearman's Dragon's Strength and Dragon's Heart are now inherited by Dragon and Kabuki Warriors, Samurais, and Guardians.
- This works on top of own techniques of the tier 2 and 3 units mentioned.
- Some techniques have been improved for balancing.
- Due to the tier 3 and 4 units becoming hero level in terms of damage (exception of yin/yang damage) and health, the health of all units and buildings are increased.
- Some techniques have combined effects and units that are not shown by the tooltip, refer to the table below.

- Samurai Seppuku (Defeat suicide)
- Lotus Watch tower Lightning
- Zymeth Lightning Strike innate ability
- Serpent Cannoneer Mines and Raider Caltrops
Horse summoning units
- This may be a disappointment to players who loves to play around the politics of getting horses (but sorry I am frustrated by it since I always play 1 vs 3 vs 4 against AI, I can't afford to lose units just for getting horses. Another reason is Serpent and Dragon healers walk so damn slow, and they use stamina to heal so the AI behind their automatic healing doesn't make them run compared to Lotus Channeler making it ALMOST MANDATORY for them to ride a horse. (This is an attempt to balance the healing capabilities of Dragon and Serpent compared to Lotus [sorry Wolf]).
- Dragon Garrin - Garrin is the same, increased his stamina regeneration.
- Wolf Wildeye - Wildeye's Battle Gear has been changed to summon a wild horse while calling 2 normal wolves from Wolves den.
- Serpent Raider - Bush fire now summons a wild horse (on top of its normal function to burn trees and rice)
- Lotus Reaper - Summons a Shadow Steed (Trained Horse of Lotus) whenever he summons a Shambler. This can only be used when there's a corpse around the Reaper, and another horse can not be summoned while the Shambler of that particular Reaper is still alive (just send this Shambler to enemy base to get another horse).
Misc
- Changed Dragon Kenji's weapon to fire, his attacks can start fire on buildings. His weapon has the stats of Dragon Warrior's Flaming Sword but changed the damage type to cutting (instead of fire) to retain his damage capabilities against units (also a buff to Dragon Warriors using this BG).
- Changed Serpent Kenji's weapon to poison.
- Restored Utara and Shinja's weapon to poison.
- Reduced all unit's max weakness from 200% to 150%.
- Changed Pack Master damage and health to be a little above Tier 2 level.
- Changed Pack Master training requirement from Peasant to Brawler.
- Decreased the difference in damage and health between tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 units (The gain is now less when you train a higher tier unit unless you buy the techniques, this is to keep the possibility of ending the game using a rush strategy).
- Increased damage of Kabuki and Dragon Warriors' missile attack (as AI loves to put them in Watchtower this is the only work around).
- Increased the minimum range of Samurai's, Dragon Warrior's, and Kabuki Warrior's missile attack (to lessen the chance of these units using their ranged weapons as soon as their target starts running).
- Techniques that give the same effect to a tier 2 / 3 / 4 unit has increased in cost (max 6).
Very Important:
- Increased the AI's count of units used in attacking and defending parties. If before you can leave your base undefended / defended by 6 - 10 units and still survive, this is no longer possible in this mod (specially if the AI have allies).
- All units have more health than the vanilla Battle Realms,expect longer games if you're playing 1 vs 7 or 1 vs 3 vs 4 as your units will encounter more enemies if they are allied, and casualties will be inevitable. This will make you of course re-train units before assaulting another base, giving more time for AI to buy techniques and make them harder to deal with.
- As you would notice, all clans have their hard hitting heroes. If left unchecked, even the AI can annihilate your army with them alone. Be observant and kill them ASAP.
- Dragon Arah
- Serpent Utara
- Wolf Grayback, The Shale Lord, Longtooth
- Lotus Zymeth, Yvaine, Koril
Bug fixes:
- Removed unintentional change of Wildeye's summon to Grayback's Berserk Werewolf.
- Fixed Chakram Maiden growling using voice of Demoness when healed.
- Fixed Rite of Vigor technique affecting Mauler instead of Dryad.Here's the table of the new values for techniques using the new base hp and damage values.
