Some of the old styles were heavily modified. I've also created a page for each and every of the new styles. If this intro has raised more questions than it answered, I suggest you start there. The basic ideas are layed out in more detail - and illustrated with a number of video clips - on the Concepts page. My aim was to add more flavor, more color and ultimately more replayability. But there's a substantial number of points to collect in my mod - if you play the game well.ĭid I just make it sound like this is some sort of hardcore mod? It's not. If you offer yourself as a punching bag to your opponents, you won't get a lot more points than in vanilla Jade Empire. The same principle as previously applies: How well you stand your ground, decides how many points you will get. In my mod you have to fight not only for new styles, but also for the points to level them. In vanilla Jade Empire you get the required style points for free. But the more damage you take, the smaller they become.īut what good are more styles, if you cannot level more of them? So I also added a new mechanism for upgrading styles. If you only get a few bruises your chances are still pretty high. If you emerge out of combat unscathed, your chances to learn from your opponent are 100%.

Or to be more specific: how much damage you allow those enemies to do to you. Whether you do or do not get the chance to learn a new style, depends on how well you hold your own. Let's start with the basic changes: You can learn new styles from the enemies who use them. This mod has gone beyond a few minor changes here and there. In fact, it's many times larger than all other mods combined.

I can say without the slightest bit of exaggeration that this is the largest mod for Jade Empire. Pretty much every style Jade Empire knows is available to the player now. While I made those other mods play nice with each other, I figured out a lot about the game myself and eventually this became a mod in its own right. And so "Jade Empire in Style" started out as my personal compilation of these other mods. There are a number of mods out there, that attempt to change that by making more styles available. Partly because you cannot acquire most of the game's combat styles and partly because you can only level a fraction of the styles you do acquire. In vanilla Jade Empire you are rather limited in your combat options. The mod is available in an English and a German version.

This is a mod for the game Jade Empire that offers over 20 new styles to players, changes the rules to give the game more variety and adds numerous techniques, gems and other goodies.
