Greetings travelers,

This thread is about a DOS EE mod, but hopefully the logic is similar enough that it still makes sense. The DOS EE mod section is a bit dead now, so I'm trying my luck here.

I have tried out Epic Encounters by Ameranthftw which is an excellent mod, but it includes enemy scaling. To be specific - at the start of combat the enemies gain exp and level up to be at your level or higher. This makes gameplay unfun, because every single fight is against overwhelming odds. Doable, but grindy.

Question is - where would I even look to disable such enemy scaling?

What I did so far:
  • Unpacked the .pak with tools from this forum
  • Under "Public" folder found a subfolder titled "Scripts". Opened a whole batch with text editor.
  • Experimented with commenting out various scripts or script parts, packing it back and restarting the game. Various things change/break, but enemies still scale.
  • Experimented with removing the entire Scripts folder and restarting the game. Large number of things break, but enemies still scale.


This leads me to believe that enemy scaling has nothing to do with scripts...but then I'm at a loss. Where should I look to find the rules that control this mechanic?

Thank you

Got reply from mod creator, who pointed me to his comprehensive guide at https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/829837590/142261352656321576/
In case anyone else finds this and has a similar question.

It's one of various restrictions that apply to new users; I've now un-restricted you. smile
