First I want thanks HwitVlf again for all his amazing translation. Without him nothing of this would be possible.
Today I want thanks Alan 1502, for his mod and possible changes too.
1- Give 1 of each item below to leaders of iscalio, esgares, leonia, norgard, new almekia and caerleon.Forbidden Fruit: Changes Seraph to Lucifer
Sweet Wine of Seduction: Changes Satan to Lilith
Bolt of Wrath: Changes Titan to Thor
Seed of Wisdom: Changes Gigantes to Loki
Crown of Gold: Changes Lizard Guard to Lizard King
Missing Link: upgrade 1 class without level requirement
2- mana start to all kingdom is 99993- Time idea by Samisc
"Change year and month: changing it or an earlier year than the game starts makes the IA not attack other castles but still sends its knights to quests."This idea is amazing and could be great to all countries! But instead changing for 1 year earlier, change for 3 or 4 months before the game starts. This time is enough to themselves.
For rpg purpose, don't start atacking countries, do the same and send your own knights to quests too and only atack when countries atack first.
"-Change years: before game over, hard mode gives 6 years which shows as a value of 144 i think, which is half months. changing it to FF which is 255 makes the counter stop."I checked all possible quests and the last one could happen only in 3º month/ 217(balder rune knight recruit). So if is possible make the clock stops in 220 or even 221(The game end in 3º month of 221)
4- increase mana of each city of map to 1000 mana and capital 2000 mana. 5- monsters balance(without increasing rune cost): angelrune cost original 85
arch angelrune cost original 105

ghoulrune cost original 15
vampirerune cost original 30
Can be summon: Esgares capital, iscalio capital
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 2000
vampire lordrune cost original 70
(alan mod-> STR,AGI improve and can cast cure spell, mov type teleport).
move type changed to teleport
str,agi improve, spell cure add
Since we won't increase rune cost(he has only 70, like a roc) I guess it's ok don't increase str, agi. But add cure and change mov type is cool.
He has necro birth and atck healing so he's very cool already
*****************************************************************
roc rune cost original 70
phoenixrune cost original 95
Can be summon: leonia capital, esgares capital
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 3300
he should have less str than hypogryff
At lv 20 a phoenix (95 rune) has around 106 str and 88 agi
he should have around 95 strengh in that lv
-Give the solid atack from roc as 2nd atk
*****************************************************************
centaur rune cost original 35
high centaur -> alan mod High centaur has accuracy +5%..And its element change to 3 green (as well as its attack).
rune cost original 50
elemental changed to green, green, green
Can be summon: esgares, caerleon
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 2100
*****************************************************************
gryphon rune cost original 55
holy gryphon rune cost original 80
change elemental to white, white, white
Can be summon: Only leonia
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 3000
Reduce str and agi. He should have more str than phoenix and less agi than phoenix too.
At lv 20 a hypogriff (80 rune) has around 115 str and 87 agi.
he should had around 100 str and 75 agi in that level.
special atacks: remove the djinn atk from him(since we won't increase rune for monsters). he has already a good distance atk.
Coerl have the same rune cost (80) and great agi as principal status.
Hypogriff have the same rune cost (80) and the distance atk.
So this way is balanced in my thoughts
****************************************************
unicornrune cost original 40

hydra rune cost original 80
elemental: change to blue, blue, blank
don't change original built of hydra. He is a killer machine in water(also he's a dragon and phoenix killer). he Has a cool beam and high atck. He's should stay similar to 80 rune cost monsters, like hypogriff and couerl.
take out the roc cry special.
So keep the original build (Def, Str, Agi)
****************************************
tiamat-> Alan mod Tiamat DEF,STR,AGI, Tiamat element change to 3 blue orb (as well as its breath)
rune cost original 110
elemental change to blue,blue,blue (cool)
Can be summon: Iscalio capital, esgares
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 3600
he's a godzilla in water and since we don't have too many water spots in map. Could be good increase mov to +1 or another option is give that spell agility.
Don't need improves def,str,agi in my opinion.
********************************************
giant scorpionrune cost original 25
original built
death needlerune cost original 35
Can be summon: esgares,new almekia,
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 2100
only add fury spell and mana to cast only 1 time at lv 10
- Increase +100 hp at lv 10
- At lv 20 he have 499 hp and it's too easily destroyed by a hydra lv 1.
********************************************
mandrake rune cost original 35
he's ok for his rune cost. Paralyze is cool.
man eater ->
rune cost original 45
Can be summon: esgares capital, norgard
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 2300

lizard men rune cost original 30
spell cure add.
lizard guardrune cost original 45
elemental: change to Blue, blue
Can be summon: , esgares, iscalio, caerleon
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 2300
he's good in water. but we don't have too much water spots.
He has high def, good atck, mid hp.
Man eater has the same rune cost and high hp, good def, mid atck, and a distance atk.
So would be better give a support spell. In others games Lizards are famous for have great resistance to bad statuses, like poison, disease,etc . So I guess would be cool give the spell cure to him (not the heal spell)
lizard kingrune cost original 45
keep the original built, he's awesome.
keep the cure spell only.
*****************************************************************
mermen rune cost original 25
he have almost the same rune cost of lizard men. But lizard men are a lot better. they miss too much, so increasing a little more agi would be cool.
triton rune cost original 40
elemental change to Blue blue
Can be summon: esgares capital, leonia
this class 2º monster can be summoned at lv 10 for 2200
he has less rune cost than lizard guard, so it's better remove the frost spell from him and increase agi. Instead frost spell, would be ok add a resist or fog spell .
poseidon rune cost original 55
Agi need to be the same of lizard king. since there's no much water spots.
for his 3nd class it's cool add frost spell and keep the resist or fog spell.

-change element to black black green(change this only if is possible change the description of bahamut that said he don't have any elemental weakness)
-Bahamut now has critical +10%, this should be removed.
-change back his rune cost to the original 110. don't increase hp and str (keep his original built). He has greater agi than fafnir and salamander.
At lv 20 fafnir has around 67 agi, salamander have around 62 and bahamut has the incredible 99 agi! This agi allow he hit almost 100% and make enemies miss often too. Only that worth the 110 rune cost.

Fafnir -> alan mod fafnir's element change to 3 white

he's the strongest dragon in the game. to honour his 120 rune cost, he should have more str than all other dragons, even tiamat. also keep the 5% accuracy and it's fine.

7- Some Other changes
we have two options:increase rune cost and give 100 rune power to all knights
a) give 100 rune power to every knights(campaign and multiplayer), even that two knights with bulnoil(this way we can still improves the balance by increasing the rune cost for monsters and scales power/rune cost) and increasing 100 rune power is enough for the game don't crash when mana monster > knight rune power)
also would be possible bring more monsters to battle
or
b)If you choose don't increase rune cost, so to balance the rune cost/build we need to reach a balance by giving more power to monsters with more rune cost,etc
Some examples:
This is aprox the original build , without patch:
At lv 20 a Fafnir(120 rune) has around 120 str and 60 agi.
At lv 20 a bahamut (110 rune) has around 110 str and 99 agi
At lv 20 a Salamander(115 rune) has around 120 str and 62 agi
At lv 20 a phoenix (95 rune) has around 106 str and 88 agi
At lv 20 a hypogriff (80 rune) has around 115 str and 87 agi.
I guess we could balance this way
-fafnir increase just a little the str, he has more rune cost than salamander, tiamat, bahamut and should be the strongest dragon in the game.
-bahamut just change 3 empty element to 3 black element, also change the description of bahamut(there is said the bahamut don't have any elemental weakness)
- Salamander don't touch nothing, but he need have less str than fafnir.
- phoenix reduce str
- holygriff reduce str and agi(but he need more str than phoenix and less agi)
- scorpion, death needles,mandrake and man eater balance:
I know that everybody think that scorp was useless, but if we choose don't increase rune cost. it's better keep him with his original built. he has only 20 rune cost...almost same of a ghoul;
death needle(lv 2 class) has the same rune cost of a common mandrake (lv 1 class). Both have 35 rune cost. it's better keep him weak as he's is. Just let death needle cast fury and it's ok( but he should have mana to cast fury only one time, even in lv 30, so mana growth after lv 10 should be 1.
he has poison and mandrakes has paralyze, they are cool already and worth the low rune cost. Pixie has 30 rune cost, was useless(without new halo spell) and can die quick, scorpion has 20 rune cost and can die quick too. Mandrake has 35 rune cost, so he should survive a little more than pixie and scorpion.
8- Buff Esgaresbelow is a method to buff Esgares. But before buff the empire make a patch with all changes except the changes below. Because one day we can choose play using Esgares and we don't want a game easy like that. So we need 2 patch: 1 patch before improve esgares and 1 patch post improve esgares. all below is to buff the empire:
Alan Mod
"- 3/ Adding some quest knight to countries:
_Belgar, Sheridan, Layoneil, Rain, Carmine and Rod join the Empire., Clarence join Leonia"
a)Because this option, we never go meet this rune knights in quest, so instead giving quest knights to esgares(I know they have few good knights and was cool from you to add them in the mod :D). But I guess is better remove them from esgares and buff the empire in other ways.
b) summoning monsters in Esgares Capital(Logres):
-Can't summon-> dao, djinni, shaitan, marid, efreeti
-Can't summon holy monsters-> arch angel, pegasus, hypogriff, titan, white dragon
-Can summon all other class 2º monsters: vampire, high centaur,fairy, fenrir, tiamat, man eater, stone golem, arch demon,phoenix, death needle, lizard guard, triton, couarl,nightmare, gigas and red dragon.
-Of all esgares cities, only Tora can summon unicorns and Esgares lose Tora to Caerleon or Iscalio early, So add Unicorns to all Esgares cities, because they need healers.
c) increase even more the mana earn from esgares initial cities(city 1500 each, capital 5000).
d) Increase 100 mana to Cador(he has only 284 mana) and add meteor doom to his spells(he has 78 Int, so it's ok).
e) Zemeckis mod from alan mod : add geno flame, elemental changed to red red green, artemis 1st atack added as his 3rd atack. Add critical +10% as his 2nd skill. Also his rune area was increased to 6 hex.
-----------------------------------*--------------------------------------*------------------------
9- Alan Mod ideas (in red).- All country leaders slightly improve stat (rune power,STR,INT,AGI)
- Lyoness: Add geno-flame, geno-frost and changed her element into white red blue.
- Lancer: Add frost spell (He already has the flame spell)
- Most of rune knights improve their stats so they can have more monsters, especially for Leonia.
- Cardinal now have geno-frost
- Saint now have geno-flame.
- Monk and Guardian now have brave knuckle (i don't remember exactly the name but it's grappler first attack) as their main attack,they still maintain drop kick and sonic wave as their 2nd and 3rd attack.
- Valkyrie now have frost spell.
- Avenger now have 2 black element
- Paladin now have 2 white element
- Scout,archer,artemis have accuracy +5%
- Change some knight's rune growth rate. Now kiloph,Rain and Rod have highest rune growth rate. 10- Balance of level and rune power to knights of all kingdoms: The cpu never use that lv 1-5 rune knights(even in legend of forsena), so let's force they use now!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Older ideas, just to archive(some changed others aren't possible because game crash)..
A- brigandine have 6 years right? so each year the exp rise a little to all
1º year after each battle victory earn 400 exp
2º year after each battle victory earn 600 exp
3º year after each battle victory earn 800 exp
4º year after each battle victory earn 1000 exp
5º year after each battle victory earn 1200 exp
6º year after each battle victory earn 1500 exp
So this way after some years you and all enemys and monsters would have lv 25-30
B- Respaw of upgraded monsters specific to each kingdoms. Each year a kingdom respaw some this monsters at lv 1. Some kingdoms are famous for his creatures like esgares have evil creatures, leonia have holy creatures, new almekia have brutes creatures, iscalion aquatic creatures, caerleon magic creatures norgard mountain and forest creatures
Caerleon: 3x marid, 3x efreet, 3x djini, 3x dao, 4x fairys, 1x thor, 1x loki.
Iscalio: 1x tiamats, 1x bahamut, 2x lizards kings,3x lizard guard, 2x poseidons, 3x triton
Leonia: 3x hypogrifs, 3x arch angel, 2x seraph, 2x Couatl, 3x phoenixs, 3x pegasus
Norgard: 4x man-eaters, 1x fafnir, 3x white dragons, 4x hight centaurs, 4x titan
new almekia: 1x salamander, 1x red dragon, 1x talos, 2x death needles, 3x stone golem, 2x bronze golem
Esgares: 3x fenrir, 1x lucifers,1x liliths,1x nightmares, 1x vampires lord, 2x vampires
C- Balance of rune knights:
CPu: Each level up win double of skill earned
Player: each level up keep the current skill earned
Cpu: each unit killed earn the double of exp.
Player: each unit killed earn the double of exp too.
D- Every month all kingdoms win more the mana. This way cpu and player always would have monsters.
E- Increase rune power to minimum of 250 to all initial rune knights below lv 20(So finaly you can have some use to that lv 4-5 ranger(ex:) that had useless 150 rune power before)
F- 3d Battle animation from brigandine forsena(lot's people love watching it)
G- Ranged atacks to mermaid/triton/poseidon
H- Add more waters tiles in the maps and moat-ring of water surround most castles
I- changes in death needles(scorpion upgrade class):
-more def, more atack, more runecost, increase the chance to poison status by 75%. The scorpion won't be changed.
