(You may not edit this mod and redistribute it without Shadow_500’s permission, contact me at wizard_m_13@hotmail.com or add me to msn, also mail your feedback to this location).

Shadow_500 is not liable for any damages or such that occurs from Shadow_500’s balancing mod. You use Shadow_500’s balancing mod at your own risk and acknowledge the fact that other parties may have tampered with the mod.

Now that the technicalities are out of the way…

Stick the balance text files in your black and white, data, balance directory where you should overwrite all other existing text files of the same name and stick the landscape BW folders in your Data landscape BW directory also overwriting files of the same name.

Further modding will be undertaken by me soon, I’ve just dipped my toes in the mighty pool of modding as yet.

Miracle changes

- Wonders charge much faster but a still take time.
- Alters charge mana at triple the normal rate.

(This means along with the doubled mana rate it is a worse strategy to store mana and a better bet to make sure a group is always praying at your alter instead. (Storing mana will still work to some degree but you can no longer save it then cast 50 lightning with full mana you will be able to cast 6 meteor or 12 lightning miracles without people praying still making you quiet deadly).
