A question with installation, about one particular tactics component Options

[Silverstar]

OK I never had the chance to play v5 so I plan to give it a try in the next weeks.

I know I should not install any other difficulty enhancing mods...I have few components from tactics and improved battles which worked fine with V4 in my last game. Will they cause any problems? Namely, unique encounters such as poison avatars, the ritual quest, Bodhi, Maevar, etc.

Bu I also love one particular component of tactics mod and am asking if I can keep it, if so, how?

It is improved undead...it enables all undead critters to have some minor spell like powers...shadows, zombies cast low lvl stuff such as spook, doom, blindness, etc. while higher lvl undead (greater mummies) cast deadly stuff like Finger of Death or Wail of the Banshee.

If I install IA after this component, I noticed undead stopped using their abilities. If I install this component after IA (I know, Sikret, you strictly forbid us to install any other mod after IA) and start a new game, undead work fine. Imoen comes as a gothic sorceress as well, and item randomization program works without problems. (so the message says me) So, I am thinking will it work without problems?

OK Sikret, thank you very much for your time and answer!

I was so busy with real life in the last months, fourtunately I survived the worst of my exams and have pretty much finished my school program for this year. So I can hop back to hours of playing BG2 with my all time favourite mod IA ofcourse!

Can I have Improved Tougher Demogorgon from Ascension then? I know what you say, but as far as I know IA does not touch Demogorgon. (yet) So can I keep it? I know tougher Demogorgon is still a wuss compared to your improved battles, but normal version would be such a walk in the park that it would feel out of place, after (hopefully) surviving tons of epic IA battles.

No, you can't. Installing even one component of Ascension will break IA's scripts, because Ascension edits the vanilla STATS.IDS file while IA requires the file to remain intact. Actually, IA will give lots of error messages during installation if you try to install it over Ascension. Needless to say that installing IA before Ascension is even worse than that.
