Hack description

This mod makes the previously undervalued units useful and adds a new class to the witch line which she can promote to at level 15 then she can use an undead ring to become a sorceress. The mage now promotes with an undead staff. Many attacks have been changed to make the game more enjoyable. Vampyre now uses an evil ring attack, the top dragons have three area of effects from the back row, the Cockatris keeps the Gryphon's gale and has the petrify up front. All top level beasts now have 4 front row attacks and their resistances have been increased. Giants and Golems now have a normal chain of promotion just like the other characters. Evil ones, Muses, Beast Masters, Dragoners, Dragon Masters and Tigermen all get an extra attack up front. All four lords have been improved. Generals and Dragoons have 3 back row attacks because they are g d heros man. The only reduction is to the Lich which has 2 for balance, he is still the most powerful character in game. The goal is to make any character good enough to be valuable at the end of the game. I tried not to adjust too many stats or change anything unnecessarily but only to improve the characters in need.
Included is a reference guide with all the important stats.

Now you will fear the WitchOld_gamer2019-10-16Version 0.71

This hack is the same wonderful Ogre Battle with a nice caveat, the Witch is now more than just a stunner. Witches know magic right? Now that is utilized here with new spells that makes her quite formidable whether front or back style. New magic spells front or back. But wait, there is more! Attacks from Big monsters get one more front and back row, and the enemy also gets this benefit too adding challenge.

The story is still the same though and same dialog too.

Excellent idea finally giving the Witch her due with bonus points!
