🎮 List of core changes

Below are the main changes brought by this mod, including many additional game balance adjustments designed to prevent the game from becoming too easy or difficult. See the README file for complete information.

  • **Town Requirements Reduced**: Heirloom requirements for all buildings have been reduced across the board.
  • **Economic Optimization**: The gold cost of equipment and skills has been reduced across the board.
  • **Inventory & Loot Adjustments**: Backpack stack size and number of heirlooms found have been modified.
  • **Skill Enhancements**: Many hero skills that I thought were mediocre have been improved, including camp skills.

  • **Equipment Limitation**: Heroes are now unable to use skills/weapons/armor higher than their current Resolve level.
  • **Determination system changes**: Hero upgrades require more determination, ensuring you don't hit a bottleneck in the early game and encouraging the hiring of higher-level heroes later in the game.
  • **Enemy Strengthening**:
  • Monster hit rate slightly increased (+1.75%).

*Crit chance slightly increased (+1.5%).

  • Damage dealt slightly increased (minimum/maximum damage +1 point each).

  • **Quirk System Overhaul**:
  • Positive quirk effects got better.
  • Negative quirk effects have been made worse and now detail their chance of interacting with oddities.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
