Can I get a version of this mod that allows for any number of Lone Wolf users? I want to be able to play with 3 friends of mine, us all have Lone Wolf, and then give the enemies in the game a ton of buff/scaling mods to make it fair. I did something like this a while back using an older version of this mod with just 1 friend and us both having Lone Wolf, but now with 4 people even normal Lone Wolf isn't an option and playing without it is kinda boring and slow.
I really like the party size reduced to just the player. It's what LW should be. But I would like to add some feedback. First, please note that I only played in Classic Mode. And I played mostly solo LW vanilla.
I think the armors and health buff should be +50% Civil points are very needed for a solo play, but I think 1 per level is a bit too much. perhaps 1 per 2 is better. (usually after act 1 you're level 10, which means easy 5 thievery 5 persuasion. That's too cheesy I think) 8/10 AP is kinda, I dunno. I almost always played with scoundrel's Andrenaline and Poly's Charmelion, it gives me a challenge with strategy. I think increase it by 1 point (7-9) would be more reasonable.
Thank you so much for creating this mod. I am currently using it for my “Honour Mode” playthrough and it definitely makes me feel like life is balanced in-game! The enemies are at their strongest and I feel like my character truly earns the title “Divine” with ONE MAN ARMY installed. Easily in my top 5 mods for solo playthrough, it’s so useful.
The way modifiers work in this game, a single Lone Wolf character is able to deal up to 2.66 times as much damage as a normal character per 1 AP, while having 2 more AP per turn. So a well thought out Lone Wolf deals about as much damage as a full normal party, has top tier gear, concentrated armor and focused damage that allows to burst down one enemy right away, making fight much easier (2 Lone wolves is busted ATM, making the party twice stronger and the game exponentially easier).
Your mod is easy mode, in no way it is "true Lone Wolf" experience. I was able to fully clear Fort Joy on a solo lone wolf ranger+summoner so far, without abusing invisibility or flee mechanic.
It should be about as difficult (or not) as running a full regular party. That you aren't forced to cheese the game in order to solo it is kind of the whole point of the mod. If you think it is easier than a regular party, is their any stat in particular you feel needs nerfing?
Well, as I said, I'm not cheesing anything, other than using summoning at 10 points, which is considered overpowered as of right now. I'm sure I could do just as well as a tank with attack and defense skills focused on armor, though. Only time I had to cheese the game is when I made a ring from reinforced crates to teleport Dallis into and fill her full of crossbow bolts, during optional fight at the gates of Fort Joy (which is probably impossible to do normally anyway, since they leave if you escape from fort by any route to level up). Game is just beatable enough solo as it is and your mod makes lone wolf way overtuned: armor bonus is out of whack (especially considering armor runes, which will turn your character into a boss), extra action points don't even make sense, since you've already boosted all the other stats considerably. All in all, any build should be viable in solo lone wolf if you only leave attribute, civil abilities and talent changes or an AP+civil abilites variation. I myself would use the first option just so that I can have wits and pet pal.
The armour bonus is actually the smallest of the increases (100% bonus vs vanilla 60%), but it is admittedly a very delicate balance; You either kill almost everything before your armour breaks or you get chain cced and killed. Thank you for the feedback, I may have underestimated the multiplicative effects of everything.
I am playing through “HONOUR MODE” right now and I (respectfully) disagree. I feel like ONE MAN ARMY is pretty immersive simply because my character is supposed to be “DIVINE” and just the very word brings the highest levels of respect and acknowledgment from the populace in-game. In my humble opinion, I believe that respect and universal acknowledgment should very much be earned (AS THIS MOD IMPLEMENTS).
Additionally, I feel like every level I gain is sorely needed just to keep up with certain levels of enemies at this difficulty. Obviously it is the hardest setting so I am in it for whatever comes my way, but this mod makes my life so much more “BALANCED” that I have my sanity intact after playing through ACT 1 and most of ACT 2 now.
It is NOT easy mode (again, in my humble opinion) and “ONE MAN ARMY” is now in my top 5 mods for solo playthrough. It is in my opinion that nothing need be changed, for this mod is perfect AS-IS.

Would be great! :)
