Boosting Familiars

from Elemental Forums

Some changes to make familiars less anoying to use, posted if anyone else want to use them.

Summoned familars

  • Are same level as summoner (Summoner_Level + SummonerBonusLevel/2)
  • Have ranged attack: 4+1 cold per level (-4 from existing), start battle at rear, lose Counterattack.
  • Have slightly improved survability: +2 regen per round, +20 dodge vs ranged attacks.


nb/ Spells & focused ranged attack will still kill rapidly. Meant to stop annoying deaths, not save them from heavy focused fire.
nb2/ Should really be done via adding custom unit ability & as a proper mod (i.e. How does wolf actully use staff!), but adding items is quick and works.
