The Cities Mod Ragnarok version 3
« on: 22 April 2020, 02:29:47 »
Greetings fellow titan questers.

     I am here today to announce that version three of The Cities Mod Ragnarok that I posted about one year ago is now available for download.  Version three has more maps, more armor sets, numerous tweaks and fixes to the previous equipment, and more skills for each mastery.  For this version it is very important to read Introduction text file.  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

     I have been playing Titan Quest and Titan Quest Immortal Throne for more that ten years.  I enjoy playing the game, but after the first dozen characters or so I started to get a little tired of playing just one map.  I decided to make a new map to play.  I started small, but I kept going.  I ended with a collection of maps I call The Cities Mod.   At this time, the mod consists of twenty-seven maps.  The mod starts with Helos and progresses in difficulty to Asgard.  In addition, there are new weapons, armor, rings, amulets, relics, sets, and skills.  This gives the opportunity to select different maps, and different equipment for each new character.  In all, the mod is over seven gigabytes in size.  I put the mod in my Dropbox so that you can download it.  There is a limit to the file size that Dropbox can handle.  I was forced to separate the mod into nine parts.  Just download all the parts into the same folder and the parts should auto-assemble into one big CustomMaps folder.  Again, please read the Introduction text file before you start playing, it is important.

     The primary objective of the mod is to give the player options on how to play the game.  In the unmodified game there are just enough monsters and side quests so that the character will be strong enough to defeat the final Boss Monsters when he gets there.  However, that means he must kill the monsters in every roadside cave, and clear each area completely.  If he just runs down the road he won't be a high enough level when he gets to the end.  If the character goes to all of my maps then he can get over 15,000,000 experience points, enough to put him at level 44.  So, the character can skip some of the areas in the main game and make up the points using some, or all, of my maps.

     A beginning character has no skills.  It takes him quite a while to get all of the skills in his chosen masteries.  Using the special armor sets I added makes it more fun because he will have some skills from the start.  Another option is to use Stonebinder relics to make his own mastery.

     It is possible to go to TheGalleria and pick up some items before you start.  My sister Diana had a habit of taking a new character to TheGalleria and equipping her character with the best armor, weapons, rings and put relics is everything with mathematical precision.  We joked about it so much that I made her a special ring to save her the time.  That is why there is a Diana's Ring in TheGalleria that is so outrageously powerful.
 
     Another option is to use only the special items included in the main game.  My maps include an Arcane Lair close to the spawn point.  Each lair has a group of level appropriate items.  For example, the Sparta map has an Arcane Lair with level six items, which is about the level a character will be when he gets to the spartan warcamp.

     An option that is available to beginning characters is that when he goes to CitiesModRagnarok map for the first time he will not get a copper dagger, he will get an Adventurer's Ring.  The ring gives him the ability to summon an Adventurer's Kit.  The kit includes weapons, armor, rings, money and so on.  There are several kinds of Adventurer's Rings, but each character will get only one.

     The most important new option for this version is more skills for each mastery.  I added four more skills to each mastery; three skills at tier one and one skill at tier six.  I tried to make the new skills particularly useful to that mastery.  The Rune Mastery has only two extra because the game uses two more than the other masteries.

     The last time I uploaded a mod there was a problem with the download that required fixing.  I will be grateful if someone posts a message to let me know that they downloaded everything and the mod works okay.

Sincerely,
DrGray

Hello there! I am not able to download the 1st and 2nd parts from Dropbox, so yeah, the issue is still there.
The other parts downloaded fine though.

Dear mvlad954,

     Okay, so here is what I did.  I made new copies of part one and part two from the original file.  I uploaded them to Dropbox.  Hopefully, these will work for you.

     I did not see anything wrong with the original files.  The problem that I had before was that I did not know that there was a limit to the size of the file that Dropbox can handle.  According to the Dropbox site the largest size it can handle is "about one gigabyte."  Part one is 841 megabytes and part two is 848 mega bytes, so both are well within the permitted range.  Some of the other parts were bigger than that.  So do not know why you had a problem.

     I want to thank you for telling me that there was a problem.  No matter how careful one is, errors can creep in.  I can not fix a problem until I know about it.

Sincerely,
DrGray
