0.85 Overhaul, Magic

Hi there.

Will the next patch include changes to any classes? I'd like to make some sort of time lord class which obviously starts with time magic and has spell related abilities like Energy/Ritual or Lore to help him out but as it stands at the moment the Archmage is the only class and doesn't support much spellcasting % or mana regen.

I would make my own class using the hero editors available but they don't include Time magic. I'm unsure if this is because the patch came after or something else, but then Monk is available in the editor.

Could someone perhaps make an adjustment to the hero editor to add in Time Magic and perhaps support The Protectors? I know The Protectors does add a couple of new abilities.

There will be some changes, however everything is yet to be finalised/fully balanced. I don't think hero classes are going to be finished for a while yet, certainly not in 0.8.5 anyway.

Although I'd rather have Arcane and Time Magic as 'advanced' spell spheres myself, I think the Priest or Sage may be able to get Time Magic fairly early on.

It could be possible via editing the Unit Editor's Data.txt (found in main WBC folder > DAT. We haven't done this yet, but maybe will in future ). I'm certain the Unit Editor can never be used to mess around with a hero's items though.

Sweet news.

Having the tool available would be great and convinient for the obvious reasons. Always wanted an iron man Mega merchant with all the resource abilities heh.
