ev0lyeti: Anyone able to give me a copy of v1 of this mod please? terra-arcanum is down.
I'm trying to get hold of the mod developer, but thought I'd ask in case someone who already has a copy sees this first.
Uploaded it here

That place had knowledge of inner workings of the game that might never be seen elsewhere. Might have to turn to the Russian forums for game answers in the future (oh god).
I should also note how glad I am to see people that want to play the next version, but you may have to wait a while. It would take at least 3 good months to complete, which is why I haven't been able to do it yet. I need 3 months where I know I will have the consecutive spare time. It's important to do it all in a single block of work so that you can remain cognizant of all the changes (key to maintaining a balance among the 500 items and 80+ spells).
My career has had to come first for a while now, and I actually just recently saw that I was getting a handle on all the workload (and getting regular free time). The holiday season and beyond has seen the demands on my time increase enormously instead.
To those of you who do play it for the first time, please do read the readme, and beat the regular game first. A lot of Arcanum players are used to how easy the game is normally, and my version actually makes you try. If you make a character who won't be great at combat, I recommend you get a few followers, as they were changed to do ok in combat now.
I hope you enjoy it, and good luck in your adventures.
