Beta Release - 20-March-2006 By Darkness http://mods.moddb.com/3749/ [ASCII made @ www.text-image.com] == Introduction Unholy Wars is a modification for Diablo 2 - Lords of Destruction, version 1.11b. It's a rather simple mod - a bunch of small changes which together, add a totally new feel to the game. Not only you'll have a stronger character in less time, but the challenge itself will make the game much more enjoyable. == Features - CharStats.txt Higher stats (totalizing a sum of 100 stats per char, instead of 80/85) More HP (+60, instead of +30) Slightly more stamina, less stamina drain More mana regen (175 for Necro/Sor/Dru, 125 for the rest) Higher To Hit Bonus for a few characters Slower walk velocity (5, instead of 6), higher run velocity (varying from char to char) More specialized the gains per level (Melee classes get more Life, less Mana, etc) 7 Stat points per level Druid starts with a skill: Raven (on his Club) Zon already starts with a Bow and arrows All characters start with Cube, Tome of ID and Portal, and other equipment Characters starts with full belt of potions - Experience.txt Maximum level set to 110 Reduced the number of XP to next level by 3 (but the Xp gain has been divided by 3 as well) - Skills.txt Maximum Skill level set to 30 No skill tree (you may skip skills you wish) - Inventory.txt Expanded inventory/cube/stash Belt size is always 4x4 - Cubemain.txt Lots of Cube recipes (including easy ways to socket items) - ItemRatio.txt Much higher chances of getting better items (rare/sets/uniques) - Misc.txt Gems and Runes have been enhanced - DifficultyLevels.txt Difficult increased (higher resistance penalties, xp loss on death, etc) Higher chance of getting better items on gamble - Npc.txt Changes on stores (prices have been halved, but you get less money from selling them) Cheaper items on gable - Gamble.txt More items added to gamble - Shrines.txt Boosted a few shrines - Levels.txt More monster (1.2x on Normal, 1.4x on Nightmare, 1.6x on Hell) More uniques/champions - Weapons.txt Wooden weapons (Club, Spiked Club, etc) may have Druid Skills - Armor.txt Paladin shields may have Paladin Skills Belts/Gloves/Boots are allowed to have sockets - Advanced changes Reduced the level of the items to match their required level, resulting in better drops - MonLvl.txt Stronger monsters, following these formulas: Armor Class Normal: (X + 2) * 1.2 Night: (X + 5) * 1.5 Hell: (X + 10) * 2.0 To Hit Normal: (X + 2) * 1.2 Night: (X + 5) * 1.5 Hell: (X + 10) * 2.0 Hit Points Normal: (X + 5) * 2.0 Night: (X + 25) * 3.0 Hell: (X + 250) * 4.0 Damage Normal: (X + 2) * 1.2 Night: (X + 5) * 1.5 Hell: (X + 10) * 2.0 Experience Normal: X * 1.5 Night: X * 2.0 Hell: X * 2.5 *X means the default Diablo 2 value. == Installation For the .ZIP file: Just extract the .ZIP file to your Diablo 2 folder, mantaining the current folders. For the .EXE file: Just execute it, and direct it to your Diablo 2 folder, and then extract it there. == Uninstallation Just delete the "data" folder inside your Diablo 2 Folder, and the "UnholyWars.bat". == Using the mod Enter the game using the UnholyWars.bat file, found in your Diablo 2 folder. Make sure you're not using another mod with it (like a modified Patch_D2.mpq), and your Diablo 2 has been updated to version 1.11b. It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you start a new character to play the mod, and only use it with the mod, as it uses a different experience progression. ========================== Unholy Wars Beta Release - 20-March-2006 ========================== ===================================== Diablo II LoD mod ====================================== ========================================= By Darkness ======================================== ================================ http://mods.moddb.com/3749/ =================================
