Hey there. Here is my totally unbiased opinion. ;)
>So I went and read the read me, and I noticed that it changes of ton of things in the game. My question is, do any of the changes it makes to game unbalance it, and/or make it too easy?
To add to what Lemming already said, no. I've played plain HF, and HF:F. And most of the HF:F changes either fixed severely retarded technical quirks or bad designs. (Spell blocking pretty much put my LAWs and Monks in a coma. HF:F revived them back to fun and playable status. )
Most of the other enhancements are just conveniences, and does not affect gameplay much. If you ever played regular HF and thought, " I like HF, I just wish some of these brain fart features would be fixed." Then you might like HF:F.
Iirc there are some re-activated monsters in some levels, but I liked this new change. In plain HF, some of the levels just felt too plain. Imo, they were also done very well, and kept the spirit of HF.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Short of adding b.net support, this mod is the closest thing to getting the HF I always wanted. Less retardation, more recreation.
