Description

Lead an army in an epic battle between good and evil, with up to a hundred soldiers on either side!



Give orders to your troops, summon reinforcements, and deploy artillery to support them, as your army strives to capture the enemy's shrines, smash down the gates of their fortress and destroy their altar.



Wage war against the computer, or take the battle online and fight alongside (or against!) your friends. Join either side, as a General or a Hero, with six armies to lead, and eight battlefields to fight over.





Good vs Evil was first released in the summer of 2003. This major new update to the award-winning action-strategy mod includes a host of new features, including -



* Horses - Ride to war on a noble steed or a terrifying nightmare.



* Barracks - Visit the Barracks to inspect your troops between battles and change their appearance, their equipment, or even their gender!



* Mirror - Use the Mirror to adjust your own appearance between battles, from skin and hair colour to wings, tails and tattoos.



* Accessorize - Use the Wardrobe and Forge to customise your weapons, clothes, equipment and jewelry, with more options than ever before.



* New Battlefields - Battle your way through the mountains of Frostdale Pass or storm the castle at Stalbridge Gorge.



* And Much, Much More - Good vs Evil has been balanced, tweaked and expanded over the last six years based on feedback, suggestions and bug reports from the mod's fans...



NOTE: NWN v1.69 is required to play Good vs Evil III.



UPDATE: v3.20 now available. Changes since the last release -



* Can now add the cast spells property to weapons, clothes and accessories

* Can now design and edit magical rods, staffs and wands

* Can now customise the appearance of darts, shurikens and slings

* Artillery now automatically targets shrines, gates, altars and flags if no living targets available

* Percentage health now appears on shrines, altars and flags if you hover your mouse over them

* Fixed bugs in the Forge that could cause weapons to disappear in some situations

v3.50 - July 3rd 2013

  • Major Changes
  • Good vs Evil now defaults to a limit of 100 soldiers per army instead of 50
  • Tactical AI behaviour scales much better when handling large numbers of troops
  • AI soldiers are more responsive and less easily distracted, making battles more fluid
  • Added a colour-coded visual effect under soldiers, players and artillery showing health 
  • Forge + Wardrobe
  • Added check for players with full inventories to stop you losing or dropping items 
  • Misc
  • Hero Mode now uses the full troop limit, instead of only two thirds of it like before
  • Hero Mode now uses reserve soldiers and adjusts the number of defenders differently
  • Added ShrineChargeTime option, to change how frequently shrines spawn mana / troops
  • Added GoldMultiplier option, to change how much gold you're awarded after the battle
  • Undead now get a saving throw to take half damage from Mass Heal spell
  • Added positional sound effects to all battlefields

Good vs Evil III includes both regular and CEP versions of the mod. The CEP version requires CEP v2.3 or later.

This is a very nicely done module for a variety of team based skirmishes and interesting but tense team battle modes. 

For those who have characters with lots of gold, they must take advantage of the equipment customisation. You can even edit how the mounts and armies of you and all your opposing armies too. I also find installing this hak packed module trouble free.

I only wished my module was as engaging as this.

One of my favorite modules, no doubt!

Creating a good module so much different from the typical persistent world formula or a story-driven RPG formula is, I think, the most task in module building.

The module is engaging and is a very nice blend of action and strategy.

Every NWN player should give it a try!

I suspect this mod is not balanced for team pvp o rfor pvp. it needs a lot of twork to take out game breaking spell and item abilities. probabl better for single player. otherwise than that, it is a great mod i suspect.

It's great for single player, but sometimes in late battle AI opponents and teammates stand still doing nothing inactive. Bugs needs to be fixed

I'm looking to release a new version:

  1. The TNO Tileset in the hak file isn't needed anymore.
  2. The inactivity is due to the fact that apparently there are no OnPerceive scripts, there is one big script controlling everyone. I re-added a script and it's MUCH harder when they react, but there will be TMI issues doing this. We'll see how it goes. Right now it uses too many troops (100), so reducing this should help. I'll be putting up a prototype on my server in the next week or so.
  3. I have added small things for color, as well as CAH for PC customization of the look of your PC and their gear.

You can see my only slightly different version on "NWN-Players Good vs Evil 3" server in NWN:EE. A sort of NWN-Players Presents, if you will.

I appreciate that you still maintaining the mod. Once AI handling script will be implanted please let me know I would more than happy to test it in single player as I prefer to play x3 speed or sometimes x4 times faster than usual game speed

I saw a few some time ago, but I don't know if they're still around. The moderators here may be able to point at an updated list of PWs. The old Vault used to have one.

As you have found, I am running an altered version of this module on a "NWN-Player's presents GvE3" NWN:EE server. You can peruse my changes on the Discord channel for the NWN-Players GvE3 channel history.

I haven't changed anything from the scripting on the Vault version. I did try a few quick tests with adding OnPerception back in, with mixed results.
Namely, OnPerceive or the shouts from other allies caused chaos in combat. So reverting the AI to something normal, and redoing the pathing/general "strategy" AI would be the way to go (in my humble opinion, anyway). You might have a better idea on how to proceed. I'm swamped with work and real life, I don't see me coming back to do more work on it for a few more weeks.
 
I did reach out to John Bye, but don't have current contact info. He has a Facebook page for GvE.

As far as I can tell, this module is also Open for new versions as long as you version is also Open to modification by the community.
