MoreWizards
Up to 8 wizards (configurable to 16) in The Spell Brigade. Enemies, elites, revives and objectives scale with party size, plus configurable extra bosses.MoreWizards
Lets The Spell Brigade run lobbies of more than 4 wizards: 8 by default, and up to 16 in the config. Everything that should grow with the party does, so bigger groups still get a real fight.
Features
Bigger lobbies
- Raises the 4-player cap for Steam and Epic (EOS) lobbies, matchmaking, host approval and the "server full" check.
- Extra lobby seats arranged around the table (or in a second row), with matching seat cameras, extra player list entries and colours.
- An invite counter under the Invite Friends button:
3/8 wizards • 5 invites left.
Harder with more wizards (each applies per wizard above ScalingStartsAbove, default 4, except extra bosses, which have their own MinPlayers)
- Enemies: more health, more damage, faster spawns, bigger hordes.
- Elites: extra copies of each elite.
- Wave events: extra wizards count as stacks of the game's Stronger Enemies curse, which unlocks the extra events and elite waves the developers made for that curse.
- Bosses: attack more often, and bring in groups of the current wave's enemies during the fight.
- Extra bosses: the final boss can arrive with up to 5 copies of itself. The host chooses the minimum number of wizards (as low as 1, for solo), how many extra bosses there can be, and the chance of each one. The health bar moves to the next living boss as each falls, and you only win once every boss is down.
- Revives: tune how much extra wizards add to the shared revive pool.
Fixes for 5+ players
- Capture points no longer stall when 5+ wizards stand on them (the base game gives 0× speed above 4).
- Capture and sacrifice zones keep growing past 4 players.
- Extra spawn points, and herding targets extended past 4.
Multiplayer safety
- Join handshake: when you host, only players with the same MoreWizards version can join. Everyone else gets the game's normal "incompatible version" message instead of a broken session. You can still join vanilla lobbies.
- Host settings sync: at the start of each run the host's difficulty and shop settings are sent to everyone, so all players share one difficulty. Your own config file isn't changed.
- Shop timer: set how long everyone gets to pick in level-up shops (vanilla 30s).
Important
- Every player in the lobby needs this mod, on the same version. The handshake enforces this.
- Back up your save before using any mods:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\BoltBlasterGames\TheSpellBrigade.

Example: 8 wizards on the defaults means 4 extra wizards, so enemies get 2× health, 1.4× damage and 1.8× spawns. Each elite comes with 1 extra copy, there are +2 Stronger Enemies stacks, and bosses attack 1.32× as often with 4 enemies joining every 20s, and there's a 50% chance of a second boss. All of this stacks on top of the game's own scaling.
What already scales with player count
The base game already scales these with no cap, so they work for 5+ wizards without help:
- Revive pool (sum of every wizard's revives)
- Party XP needed per level (grows with party size)
- Boss and elite health (+50% per extra wizard)
- Objective targets: collectables, hydra healers, pushables, clean-zone size
Known limits
-
Extra bosses: only one boss health bar is shown at a time. It follows the original boss, then moves to each extra boss in turn.
-
The shop timer is shared with the game's "kick players who keep running out of time" rule, so very low values can get people kicked.
-
A game update may move the patched code. If that happens, the log (
BepInEx\LogOutput.log) reportssignature not foundand that one feature is skipped until the mod is updated.
