Here is a very rough example of the new/returning feature.
I have other examples, but I'll hold those off for another time. (I'm sure another mod has already done this, but not many. I'm always striving for ways to combine BFME1 and BFME2 to bring the best from each game.)
I've been debating if I wanted to announce this or not. I probably should have waited until everything was near completion and v1.05 was released. I've done preliminary testing with e few hordes, testing healing respawns, upgrades and other items and it looks like everything is still intact.
Basically, what would this mod be without this imortant feature of BME1. It has to be one of the items I miss most and I have wanted to add back in as much as the castles.
So let me know if you don't want it in. I'm going to count my vote as about a huge number, but if everyone else says no, I won't attempt it. (Talk about a lot of coding work to get all of the hordes able to combine correctly and all that.)
The main reason why I wanted to bring this up is for anyone offering suggestions about hordes/horde-size and balance items keep in mind this is where I'm heading. Smaller hordes that can combine with others or themselves. The combined hordes lose special abilities but gain in other areas.
The amount of code and hordes and everything will increase exponentially, thus the reason why I need a large/strong beta test team for the subsequent releases. So many horde formations/objects etc. So sign up in the other topic if you want to join.
So let me know what you think,
Robert J.
