Welcome to the arena! This overhaul mod is meant as a tool to quickly and easily set up tactical 1v1 PvP battles.

Instructions:
Start the game. From Custom Realms menu pick "Skirmish mod". You need to set 2 players and I recommend far distance for more reliable map generation. When in game follow the tutorial to setting up your first battle. The in-game menus are event based - in case you mistakenly close one, you can always reopen it through scripted Game Control strategic spells.
Known issues:
1. Host may spawn additional copies of the Tome Picking Menu event for Player 2 by repeatedly reopening the pregame menu. Workaround: Player 2 should close all events that show up while Player 1 is changing settings, and use the control strategic spells to access the menu later.
2. Resetting the game is currently unable to clean up heroes. Workaround: Be a sport about it and don't bring more heroes to the battle than agreed.
3. Resource Nodes and Magic Materials spawn on the map, though they shouldn't. Please don't abuse them to get MM bonuses or extra XP
Future features:
1. Add configuration option to choose the terrain and structure to serve as battlefield
2. Add a control spell to teleport all player units to the battlefield
3. Draft mode
4. Add option to pick hero equipment
5. Add option to build multiple Affinity Province Improvements
6. Add option to cast Age Of Affinity spells
Compatibility:
The mod tosses most of the game economy out of the window. It should easily accomodate additional race and world traits, though compatibility with mods that grant additional Tomes will require some mod-by-mod additional work (details TBD).
Modified RPKs:
TIERS_UNITPROPERTIES.RPK
RMG_DEFINITIONS_STRATEGIC.RPK
CITYUPGRADECOST_DEFINITIONS.RPK
HEROGLOBALSETTINGS.RPK
SPELL_DEFINITIONS.RPK
