MDT Forge (henceforth referred to as Forge) is a VCMI town created by the Mod Design Team (MDT). It is based off of New World Computing's Forge town that was originally planned to be released in Armageddon's Blade, with buildings directly referencing NWC's designs. The town is the outcome of what would have happened if Kastore came to power with use of the Heavenly Forge.
Forge is an Evil alignment town, home to the Warmonger and Technician hero classes.
The native terrain of Forge was Dirt but has since been changed to Asphalt.
Forge's Blacksmith sells Supply Carts, its Mage Guild reaches Level 3, and its Resource Silo provides Wood and Ore.
Origins[edit | hide | hide all]
The MDT Forge is the successor to two other Forge revival projects, all three of which having once been parts of the Heavenly Forge project/addon:
- The first project, the Polish Forge Project, was developed for In the Wake of Gods
. It began development around 2011, with a test version being published around 2013, though the team was dissolved soon after. Trith and Sower, two key members of this project, joined MDT later on. - The second project, the Classic Forge, began development for VCMI
at a similar time in 2013. As it was a beta of the MDT Forge, some of its many creature concepts survived the numerous cycles of development and now exist in the current MDT Forge. The date of the Classic Forge being published is unknown. - In final project is the MDT Forge itself, released in its first form in 2015 by the same authors as the Classic Forge. Subsequent changes have been made to creature and hero portraits, with some creatures such as the Sky Brawler/Knight and Juggernaut/Dreadnought receiving major graphical overhauls. After Tides of War (another MDT mod) was released, the Bionic Trooper/Cyborg were added as alternative Level 3 units.
