[Unknown Mod] General Informations

[LeHerosInconnu]

I have always wanted, like many players I think, to change little things here and there to improve the way of playing in Heroes 2.

Fheroes2 allows the user to modify the operation of the original game using a system of options.
I love this principle of being able to change the way the original game works by using options that can be validated or not for a truly personalized gameplay.

After version 1.0, I plan to make a mod for fheroes2 with small changes here and there, and add new secondary skills, new artifacts, new spells, etc.
My mod will be based on this principle of options which, once incorporated in fheroes2, will allow to play the game in accordance to the player's wishes.
This mod will be primarily designed to have fun, reduce micromanagement and frustration, for single-player game mode.

I will list here all the changes I wish to incorporate as options in fheroes2.
For better readability, each post referring to the mod will start with "[Unknown Mod]" in the title.
Once implemented in fheroes2, it will also be possible to use these changes in other "Mods". :)
