BiterShield Mod - Updated Description (en/jp)

This mod was originally developed during the ver.1.1 era to address the issue of enemy mobs having too little HP.

In ver.2.0, enemy nests have received significant HP increases, and if you use "Quality for Biters!", enemies will already have sufficient durability.

However, applying Quality for Biters! also greatly increases enemy mob attack range and damage, which may make them much more dangerous. This mod, on the other hand, only increases HP, keeping the balance more predictable.

Of course, if you combine this mod with "Quality for Biters!" or "Big Monsters", you'll face even tougher enemies, so it might still have a role to play.

With that in mind, I have updated it to be compatible with the latest version.

更新情報(日本語)

このModは、ver.1.1時代に敵MobのHPが低すぎることを解決するために開発したModです。 ver.2.0においては、特に敵の巣のHPは十分に増加しているし、「Quality for Biters!」を入れれば、十分な耐久性になると思います。 ただ、Qualityをつけてしまうと、敵のMobの射程や攻撃力も大きく上がってしまうため、このModでは、HPの増加のみにとどめています。

もちろん、「Quality for Biters!」や「Big Monsters」などと一緒に導入すれば、さらに強固になった敵Mobと戦えるので、役割が0というわけではないかもしれません。 なので、一応、最新版に対応しました。
