Which link is valid? There is a 7.3 MB and a 4 MB file.
Both links are valid. One is for when you are playing with the Aranna Legacy Mod the other is for when you are not.
If I get this mod will it work if I have the http://www.siegetheday.org/?q=node/2237 mod installed?
Ancient Gifts and BW_Spells_Reload have no compatibility conflicts and will work together.
Thank you very much
I know I am writing this in 2016 so I am not overly hopeful about getting a reply, but is there any way this could be made to work with Elys Succubus Manager as well as Aranna Legacy? As of right now when I use Elys Succubus Manager ( from http://elys-ds2-succubus-manager.software.informer.com/24.0/ ) The soul of iron skills won't work.
Thank you.
You've come to exactly the right site, we're still alive and kicking.
Now, the only thing I can suggest, as I am not particularly mod savvy, is to uncheck "Load succubus modlet" if you're not actually using any of the races added by it. I use Succubus Manager myself and I don't have issues with Soul of Iron skills (I don't actually use the mod anymore though) I do not recall if the Modlet alters any basic stats or skills, so that might also be a compatibility issue. Or not.
HOWEVER.
Be aware that if by 'skills' you actually mean 'powers', The Soul of Iron class doesn't actually have any powers yet. I believe HardLess intends on adding those sometime in the future, but I wouldn't expect them any time soon because I'm not even sure if he is or not.
So if that's the issue, then the Succubus Modlet and Aranna Legacy are working fine with Ancient Gifts.
Also, ensure you're using the right version of Ancient Gifts. The one that is made for Aranna Legacy.
Thank you for responding Raymus, good to know that this game still has a community.
I tried not using the modlet and that fixed the issue. It's somewhat unfortunate because I wanted to use one of the mod races but I like the ancient gifts mod more. Either way thanks for your help. It's also unfortunate to learn that this mod appears to have been abandoned before the powers could be added, but I still like the skill tree.
Welcome to Siege the Day. We are still here and a very active little community. This mod has not been abandoned, HardLess and Mantella do still update it from time to time. Sometimes it takes a while, because we all have real lives besides the modding and playing of the various versions of Dungeon Siege.
Again Welcome
I wrote this on the forum part for this mod too, did this since I got a bit confused, but still here it is again >.<
I have little ide for the ranged/nature skill tree, it's just a realy basic ide but it might come in handy to create something around it.
I'm thinking that the archer is giving it's summoned creature commands throu spells, think of it as "commands" for a trained battle/war beast theme, let's say that one spell might command the pet to rend it's target while another spell commands it to stun a single target, and the archer on top of this could gain bonuses depending on the summoned pet (perhaps implementing this with new summons)
Well it's just a thought and I have never made any mods so I acctually have no ide how much effort this will take.
Hope it could come in handy since this is my fav mod here (especially that you can have it together with Aranna Legacy)
