And the heroes of these classes can often feel like they are of a much lower level than other classes. I often find that in my opinion at least, such rigid systems often relegate heroes of certain classes to more or less subclasses. And this version more than doubles the number of heroes from 2.0!īNW heroes are advanced and don't all necessarily adhere to a rigid class-based system. It wouldn't be BNW if it didn't feature many new heroes. I need to also thank my friend, Merkraad, who wrote an excellent guide on this subject which he sent me long ago and has since been posted in the forums and in the modding wiki. Also thanks to DimaGromyko who I believe first discovered how to mask the changeling ability. It was a great discovery and addition to the game. I expect this is something that will used to some degree in nearly all mods, and I would like to thank TurboBeholder who discovered how to do this. This a feature I really love, and feel adds tremendously to gameplay. Level one and two units for each race can now be upgraded to advanced units at gold medal. So you will have to check this out for yourself, but I don't think it's inaccurate for me to say that nearly all the races are like new. Other races such as Dark Elves have been completely redone. For example, Dwarves have new units, but they also still retain most of their default units from the original game (with modified skills and stats). How this is done differs somewhat from race to race. Special thanks to Iskatu Mesk for helping out by writing excellent descriptions for most of the new races.Īs well as new races, the old races that are still used have been re-made and are really like new races as well. The mod now features five new races: Arabians, Asgardians, Immortals, Morlocks and Zulians. Here are some of the features included in this new version: Special Thanks to PawelS for his Resource.ahr validating program which makes it so you don't have to load and save maps. That's it! You are now ready to play, and in this version you no longer have to load and save maps to play them, and you should even be able to play the campaign if you wish. One puts in the BNW stuff, the other puts back the normal stuff. When you want the BNW stuff in run "Enable BNW 3 Extras". When you want the normal stuff back in, open your main Shadow Magic folder and run "Disable BNW 3 Extras". This will be done automatically the first time you install the mod. Then run AoWSM Setup and make the sure the custom resources box is checked, then select BNW 3.0 from the list.īNW changes the names of some things in game such as races, spells etc., and puts in a BNW title screen. I hope some of you who download the map will also consider taking the time to post a comment there thanking Roger for the wonderful job he has done. It features beautiful landscapes, fantastic events and stuff you have never seen before! The map is a true masterpiece and I would really like to thank Roger for all his effort in making it. Roger has really knocked himself out on this map and it is stunning. So if you have fullfilled these requirements, you can download Brave New World v3.0 Beta by selecting the link below:Īfter you have installed the update, I would very much recommend you head on over to the scenario section of the downloads page and get: If you install BNW 2.0 after installing BNW 3.0 beta, you will overwrite some new versions of ILBs with old ones, which is something we don't want. So it is important that BNW 2.0 be installed prior to installing this version. When you install this new version of BNW it will overwrite some older ILBs with improved, newer versions. Everything is not finished yet, but after such a long time working on it, I felt that enough is finished that I should make it available for those who may be interested.īNW v3.0 Beta is a very large file (696mb zipped) and requires that both BNW 2.0 and UPatch 1.4 are already installed on your computer. I have decided to release a beta version of BNW 3.0. The rest of this post was written in regards to the Beta version, but may still be of some interest to newer people who have not yet tried the mod. You can download the BNW 3.2 update by clicking on the link below: It requires previous installation of UPatch 1.4, BNW 2.0 and BNW 3.0 Beta. NOTE: A new Update for Brave New World (BNW 3.2) is now available. Hopefully this is something which will be appreciated not only by those who are already familiar with the mod, but new people who may be thinking of trying it as well. It is available in the downloads section or you can just click here. Update: nvc_for_the_soul has created an excellent PDF file listing the stats and abilities of all the buildable units for each of the races.
