[Mod TotE] First Aid Tent: 10 or 100 Turns
This was an old favourite from elrath.com and since all factions have triple ballista and flaming arrows, it is even more needed to make the First Aid tent/Plague Tent an interesting alternative.
There are two mods in the package one that gives the tent 10 shots and one that gives the tent 100 shots(=same as ballista). You can choose which you want to use.
I rebuild the mod in .h5u format for Toe but it should work for 1.6 and 2.2 too.

Cool, magnomagus. It gets annoying only having 5 uses of the tent. Thnx!

3 uses were actually the original. It definetly gets annoying, but I wonder if it is posssible to base the amount that a First Aid tent heals on Knowledge instead (the logic being the more knowledge you have, the more you know how to do things, such as heal)?

And tie the Ballista into attack? But tying the First Aid Tent to knowledge would kill the Necromancers. Especially Kaspar.

I guess. But wouldn't you say that somehow tying it into the stats would be at least a moderately good idea. Let's be honest, 100 HP doesn't make a difference in the late game...usually.

yeah... but early game this is very strong.
I mean, you can heal 300 pts of damage in every early game battle.
Now, imagine that in all early game battles you lose 300hp worth of creatures. Where would you be.
About the mod: I think it makes the tent imba, and brings lots of abuses by like waiting around for the tent to heal everything...
It furthermore overpowers warmachines...

Don't forget you need expert war machines for 100 HP and the first aid skill to have resurrection ability.

That's why I made the 10 turns mod, furthermore you must not forget that the first aid tent is very easy to destroy.
I think the ballista is still much more powerful, this mod only makes the tent somewhat better compared to the ballista.

I couldn't find an option to increase the healing power, not even without connecting it to knowledge.

Interesting solution for rebalancing. 10 turns are nice for Hero without War Machines skill (and even with expert but no first aid ability). Kaspar is already strong and plus 7 (3+7 = 10) first aid turns he'll be able to cast 10 Raise Deads in early game. But why not? If we add only 2 more turns (totaly 5)? Or if we edit Kaspars specialization?

I say mod Kaspar's ability. The bonus is :checks site: "Embalmer -
The First Aid Tent will heal 5 more hit points per hero level. The damage in case of Plague Tent ability is also increased." Now, upping it to say, ten per hero level? Thats:
Level 5 - 50 Level 10 - 100
Level 15- 150 Level 20 - 200
Level 25- 250 Level 30 - 300
Maybe a little imba in early game, but levels out during late game.

I would like to mod Kaspar, but it cannot be done.
And changing the mod for him only, seems a little unimportant.
I know Kaspar is sometimes banned in multiplayer, even without this mod. So I think it doesn't really matter, people who are afraid of him ban him anyway, or they can play deleb vs kaspar.

Can the Embalmer ability not be changed? Or is it that you just won't do it. I myself have never personally tried to find the ability file in the labyrinth that is the data file .

No, I think that sort of thing is hardcoded I'm afraid. Just IMHO though, of course.

I think even 10 is too much, there are factions where I'd weaken the enemy and then keep running around while the tent heals me.. It would make sense if you got another healing shot every x levels.

I agree this mod can cause abusement when controlled by a human player. But there are more things in the game that can cause abusement under control of a human brain (like invisibility). I try to see it from this perspective: when I don't have this mod installed I would always pick ballista+triple ballista+expert war machines first. After I have these skills I may pick first aid tent or catapult and I would never pick plague tent.
On the other hand, when I have this mod installed it just seems a good alternative to go for a tent skill buildup, which I would never have chosen otherwise. If it was possible to connect the amount of turns to levels or knowledge i would do it, but it isn't possible.

Could you mod the tent that it gets 3 resurections and infinite healing to full hp afterwards? maybe by giving it a second ability similar to lay hands?

I dont think so... but probably triple FA is possible.

Is there a way to change the amount of heals according to level? For example, at levels 1-10 you get three heals, leveles 11-20 you get five, levels 21-30 you get eight, and the rest you get 10.
I doubt if it's possible, but I haven't delved too deep in this stuff. Maybe you guys know something I don't.
