We never enable(d) the scripts:
the 3 options replaced that caused bugs (Split Decision, Espionage3/Sabotage, Passable Terrain);
or the other 2 that were replaced(Ghosts on Map & Disable Autosave);
or the other 2 bugged scripts that were reported as fixed (First Money, SecondarySkill Tactics);
or the scripts that caused conflicts with each other listed in Hints (Karmic battles, Enhanced War Marchines3, Random Hero);

I agree the new options are interesting & would like to keep/try them.  When I have time later I can read threads to find out how to add special terrain script to WoG Revised (maybe even just cut & paste the script to an always active script without the "check if WoG option for Terrain Patches is checked").  In the meantime, am I safe to assume as long as we never enable the bugged scripts above (which we never use anyway) then we don't need Wog Revised?  Was Secondary Skill Luck fixed in WogRevised or ERA?

IMO Special Terrain Patches add more to the gameplay than Monster Mutterings (which is by definition only decorative/roleplay & slows down actual gameplay/strategy).  Nevertheless, I agree that "pleasing everyone is god task, not human".  So thanks for your replies and everything you've done for Heroes3... I am pleased.

I don't know if it's OT:

These are incorrect:
!!HE#:X7/$1/$2/0/0/0/0; and !!HE#:X7/$1/$2;

These are correct:
!!HE#:X7/0/$1/$2/0/0/0; and !!HE#:X7/0/$1/$2/0/0/0;

Is it possible?

$1=attack bonus
$2=defense bonus
And the first "0"? Is it dummy?

I wish to disable Yona mod (due to ultra inefficient Orcs, and imba Pikes, Cavaliers), but I do wish to have the same battle hints(showing kill counts) as with Yona mod. Is there a solution?

If you have old Yona (newest was released one week ago), open Yona/settings.ini and:

[Global]
NewCreatureAbilities    = 0
NewCreatureDescriptions = 0
OverrideBattleLogHint   = 1

Use haste on Orcs and attack from close distances. Orcs do ultimate damage then (up to 300% with sniper bow).

Thank you Salamandre.
What`s new in the updated script? Where can I find it?

The problem is that Orcs became the lowest threat in the game by this script, a couple of Walking Deads are more dangerous than the Orcs. This make Orc blocks easy to pass, while another kind of creature wouldn`t be passed with that ease. In a hot seat game you going to lose archery advantage instantly.
The script is sounds logical to me, but the problem should be adressed somehow, for instance that makers shouldn`t make such drastical distance penalties/bonuses. The Orc should do just little less damage to far units, and just a little bit more to nearby units, that would be the solution in my eyes.

Yona v5.0 ENG
In the fifth version about 60% of code was rewritten, a few non critical bugs dealing with game mechanics were fixed. Yona is quite tolerant to other mods, passively and first adds hints in battle log dialog, does not activate special ability on ESC if cursor is blocked via ERM (mostly, cursor is locked when emulation of new abilities or spells is implemented in custom mod).

Now three files with the following contents are responsible for configuration:

creature descriptions.txt
0="Anti-cavalry: 200%. Ignores cavalry bonus";
1="Anti-cavalry: 200%. Ignores cavalry bonus";
2="Aimed shot: 300%";
3="Aimed shot: 300%. Shoots twice";
6="Block: 50%";
7="Block: 50%. Strikes twice";
10="Cavalry: +20% dmg per hex";
11="Cavalry: +20% dmg per hex";
88="Damage depends on distance";
89="Damage depends on distance";

It allows to assign any description to any creature by its id.

lang.ini
[]
ANTICAVALRY_BONUS = Anti-cavalry: ~Multiplier~%
CAVALRY_BONUS = Cavalry: +~Damage~%
DEFENSIVE_BLOCK_BONUS = Block: ~Multiplier~%
DISTANCE_DEPENDANT_ATTACK_BONUS = Modifier: ~Modifier~%
AIMED_SHOT_BONUS = Aimed shot: ~Multiplier~%

DISTANCE_HINT = Distance: ~Distance~

AIMED_SHOT_ACTION_LOG = ~Num~ ~Name~ take aim
AIMED_SHOT_HINT = Take aim

It became easy to translate texts to target language or change hints format.

settings.ini
[]
; Main
Debug = 0
NewCreatureAbilities = 1

; Debug
DebugStackToStackDamage = 1

The number of options was severely reduced, because their previous quantity used to increase efforts for adding anything new.

The feature of this release is "aimed shot" ability. It's activated by archers and marksmen on their turn by pressing ESC key (all checks for permission of this activation at current moment present). New ability support network gaming too. Stack choses a hex to aim at. Damage for this particular hex will be tripled in the next turn, if the possibility and willing to attack remain. The ability uses two cursors (thanks to Valery, cursors are replaced on the fly using redirection mechanism) and sound of activation.

AI is currently absent, but planned.

It seems, you cant set up creature abilities and descriptions one by one like you used to, so if I want normal champions but Yona Orcs, I'm stuck with the old version?

-) Install it from admin account into non-system directory (D:\WoG)
-) Ensure no compatibility options are on in h3era.exe properties.
-) Ensure that Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is off.

But installation demands game directory.

The WOG Option "Estates I" doesn't work properly.
"Weekly resources" works, but not "5 x hero level gold per day".
So, with "Estates I" ON, a Hero with Estates, gives only 125/500/750 gold per day.
This is only a tip if you want to correct it for a next Era...
