    Preset Editor The Preset Editor is a tool designed for creating custom heroes on the basis of existing prototypes

    to use them in the Duel Mode. This tool provides for adjusting the heros attributes, skills, specify the sets of artifacts and spells available for the hero in the Duel Mode. Summing the costs of selected Creatures, War Machines and Artifacts produces the total duel cost. Though preset cost is not limited in the editor, you will not be able to use the preset in the game if its cost exceeds 30,000. To invoke the Preset Editor tool, select the Create Duel Preset command from the Tools menu. Once this is done, a dialog appears, allowing the user to choose the heros race and name (the heros name is unique and used as the name for the file to be saved).

    The dialog consists of a field showing the presets total cost and several subject dialog pages: - Main - Settings - Skills/Perks - Army - Artifacts - Spells - War Machines

    Main

    This dialogue shows the heros portrait, his prototype and name. This tab provides also for choosing an icon for the hero, which must be a graphic file that has an extension of *.tga and a size of 128x128x32. The bottom left shows a field that is common for all the tabs: the presets total cost.

    Settings

    This dialogue shows the heros name, his class, specialization, and attributes. The user can rearrange the attribute values while keeping their sum within the heros level.

    Skills/Perks

    This tab provides for specifying the skills and perks for the preset. In its top half, the user can choose the heros skills. The bottom half shows his perks. Certain perks require having other ones (the so- called observance of dependences): if a certain perk is selected while another and required one is not, a window appears listing the perks needed for having this particular one.

    There is 17 points allocated for skills/perks. Each skill/perk chosen will decrease the total amount of allocated points with one. The mastery of primary and secondary skills will decrease the amount with one point too. Perks will be taken back if you have reached 0 skill points and want to add some more skills. Perk Arcane Excellence doesnt grant one-time mana bonus and Perk "Battle Commander" doesnt grant one-time Wardancers bonus in duel mode.

    Army

    In this tab, the army for the preset is edited. A total of seven stacks can be created. The possible number of creatures in a stack is limited to three weekly growths of these creatures in a town. The cost of a single creature is calculated according to the formula: creature_power/10

    Artifacts

    In this tab, the presets artifacts are edited. The cost of an artifact is calculated according to the formula: artefact_gold_cost / 10.

    Spells

    Levels one and two from spells list are free. The other spells can be selected if the correct skills/perks are chosen. For spells from level three is necessary to choose the corresponding school of magic or Magic Insight perk, and for level four and five is necessary to choose the proper mastery too for corresponding school of magic.

    War Machines

    In this tab, the presets war machines are edited. Each machines cost is a fixed value.
