About this mod Machine translation

Reduce the number of times the sword oil is effective so that higher level oils don't cause such crazy damage.

This is a very simple mod I came up with in my attempt to rebalance the game a bit without changing how the game feels and plays drastically.  I actually prefer vanilla to the balance mods I've seen, but I do think the game's scaling as one progresses is all out of whack leading to high level play often being stupidly easy, even on Death March.  This is the first of the mods I plan to make to address this issue.  This mod reduces the bonus damage of higher level oils, removing the exponential scaling.  This mod also increases the charges for oils, though only modestly compared to other oil mods I've seen.  This change was made to minimize the frequency of running out of oil charges in the middle of fight while not getting rid of the need to keep an eye on charges in general.

This is a very simple mode where I'm trying to rebalance the game a bit without changing the feel and playability of the game completely. I actually prefer vanilla's balanced mode, but I do think the scale of the game as one progresses is completely unnatural, resulting in high-level play often being stupidly easy, even on a death march. This is the first mods I plan to make that address this issue. This mod reduces the extra damage from premium oils, eliminating the exponential scale. This model also has an increased charge for oil, although only slightly compared to other oil models I've seen. This change was made to minimize the frequency of running out of oil charges in combat, not to move away from the focus on oil charges in general.

change

Standard oils - 10% increased damage, 50 charges (Vanilla - 10% increased damage, 20 charges)

Enhanced oils - 20% increased damage, 75 charges (Vanilla - 25% increased damage, 40 charges)

Superior oils - 30% increased damage, 100 charges (Vanilla - 50% increased damage, 60 charges)

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.
