Improved Anvil V6.0, description, download location, etc Options

[Sikret]

Improved Anvil is a mod for BG2 and TOB.

1) Tactical challenges and Improved enemies

2) Many New quests and encounters

3) New types of monsters

4) Fixes and tweaks:
Improved Anvil applies several corrections and changes (including fixes and tweaks) to the original game. For details see the related document which is provided in the download package.

5) Item Randomizer program:
A novelty introduced by Improved Anvil for the first time: A good number of powerful items have been removed from their original locations. Each time you start a new game with Improved Anvil, those items will be randomly (and sensibly) redistributed into new and difficult locations and/or in the inventory of improved and tough enemies. In other words, each time you play the game with this mod, each of those items may be in different places and you won't be sure where to look for them.

6) New item upgrades:
Cromwell and Cespenar have 102 new item upgrade recipes most of which require brand new components which are also added to the game by this mod.

7) Four new kits:
Two new ranger kits, a new druid kit and a new fighter kit are added to the game. The new kits are all available to the protagonist at character creation stage. In addition, the new druid kit is assigned to Cernd and one of the new ranger kits is assigned to Valygar as well.

For more information see other pinned topics in the mod's forum as well as the documents available in the mod's download package.

Improved Anvil is a progressive project. I am looking forward to receiving suggestions from people who have played the mod in practice in order to improve and expand the mod's content in its future versions. All good suggestions will be applied to future versions of the mod with the names of people who made those suggestions. The mod belongs to everyone who loves it and wants it to improve.

The mod can be downloaded from The Dragon's Hoard download page or directly from this page using the following link:

Have fun!

Improved Anvil v6.1 is out After long hiatus, a first step towards the long-promised v7. Please note that IA does not enjoy the luxury of having many dedicated, competent testers these days. This most certainly implies that there are bugs to be found and fixed. If you do stumble upon one, please report it to the relevant thread.

Thanks for understanding and apologies to those who are used to the usual stability of the mod.

Have fun!
