| Nice job Sal, we needed this for a long time. I think only the updated version of HOL v3.2 is enough, since it's the author's latest version with bug fixes. (All I did was removing zsetup01.txt making it compatible with Wog Revised without any change) So, placing that link with the thumbnail and removing the old 3.2 completely will prevent a lot of confusion, as most people will try to play HOL with Wog revised. 
 Also, grouping HotA objects mod with other object mods would be nice too.
 
 Placing HOL v3.1 and 3.2 in a row, will also clarify they are different mods, not necesserily new replacing the old.

| I had only two missing, for human castle and TEW4, fixed. Will look into what Artu said a bit later, editing codes in HC is awful. 
 @Edit: Added 5 mods sent by Bes. From my folder I still have alpha and alpha objects mods, is it worth to upload them or the idea of transparency technically sucks? (mainly question for Bersy)

| Drop War Machines is missing too, small but practical mod. I still have it if you lost it. I also have 
 - Original Wog Chests
 (again small, but makes a difference if you prefer classic wog chests)
 - BattlePoker2 (JimV)
 - Alexander
 - Gigamight Resize
 - Commander Points
 
 which are not on the list, I can upload them if necessary.

| Yes please, put them at the end of the old thread so I can move here. Ok for drop war machines, original wog chests and commander points (isn't command points or is about something else?). I will find battle poker, Alexander is same as Alexander the great so is in the list. Gigamight resize I don't think it should be in, as it modifies only sod creatures so will look really strange in wog and there are other ugly issues as heroes flags floating, ghost hexes and such. 
 Question for Bersy: does make any sense keeping alex XXL support as era mod in the list? Or latest era plugin is enough?

| Evening lads! 
 I can't seem to find a thread about advanced levels so im posting my question here, move it if its misslocated
  . 
 I was wondering about the advanced levels mod and the Hero of light mod, are the compatible?
 
 I've been running them both for a while now and havent come across any issues, and i just love it, but i havent tested all the abilites from advanced levels yet, like the knights uppgrade ability to take a lower tier and turn it into a higher tier creature, is all of that functional, do you know of any straight up bugs or broken mechanics from using these 2 mods?
 
 Thanks!, awesome community btw.

| There are 65 mods available, is hard to make a complete list about which is compatible with another. In general Advanced levels is not finished and it is unlikely it will be one day, author does not work anymore on Heroes. As it changes a lot of mechanics, I would say is not compatible with anything using same scripting areas, even with Morn battlefields it will conflict, as it uses its own pcx. But will work with turbo mod, new interface mod I think. For sure is not compatible with HoL, as the heroes get new specialties, and Sagamosa forgot to reset specialties once used. |
