Not sure if I got it working perfectly, but I removed battery.dll without modifying any script and the dwelling problem (4 slots with 0 pikemen) went away on ERA 2.9.14 and even ERA 3. The game complained about not finding some sprites, but even this seems to go away when using HD mod. I don't know if I introduced bugs by doing this, but the game seems fine.

Btw, are all Haven heroes supposed to start with sprites and elementals? Seems weird, since the low level creatures have been changed in the town.

Are you sure that the third and 4th slots work as they should though? By which I mean retain growth week after week etc? If so I have to check it out and update the first post.

Secondly, Haven's heroes are supposed to work this way for two reasons. You can switch to the original Conflux in my mod (there's an option that allows that) and so the heroes should have elementals in their armies. But even if you play with the changed Conflux (Haven) you can always upgrade the elementals to elementalists. This adds a nice new feature, where you can get additional elementalists each week with every new hero, and since Elementalists are the second best-useful creature in town (besides Phoenix), I think it is a nice feature. First 3 level creatures in the new Haven are way too weak to be starting troops.

Well, you are right, I can confirm that the third and fourth slots don't even appear without battery.dll (you get some ERM errors when clicking the dwelling and then only the first 2 slots are available). Removing a dll never has good consequences But this looks promising. It has a nice wrapper API over !!RD that makes it easy to set dwellings in towns. It also has a function !!FU(dex_CA_D) that has almost the same interface as !!CA: D for compatibility so it should be pretty easy to replace in the script. I will try to do it and see if it works.

UPDATE: Here it is 11 wog - neutral town.erm. Tried it on ERA 3.0.3 after replacing script and removing battery.dll. For me it works, at least from the few tests I made.

Hello HoL! I don't know if you accept suggestions or not, but I was thinking that wouldn't the chasteners from the Cathedral mod make a better commander model for the Necropolis?

To be honest, I don't play with the Commanders at all. I do agree that there are better options for the Necropolis Commander, but the fact of the matter is that I wanted to add an Undead Pirate creature as a guard for the shipwreck. Additionally, Pirates in the Skeleton Transformer are now transformed into Dread Pirates, which is a nice feature.

So, in short, yes there might be better options, but I went with this one because I wanted to use the creature as it is found in the adventure map, rather than a hero's commander.

**EDIT**

Thanks to DarkAtom, my mod is now compatible with ERA III as well! The first post of this thread has been updated. All versions of this mod can be played with ERA 2.7.5 but the latest (v1.3) can also be played in ERA III (there's an alternative link).

Hey!

Thanks for the mod! I've been getting some trouble running it. Are there any more elaborate instructions on how to install it and the best wog settings to use to ensure it runs stable?

Thanks!

There are no obligatory WOG options in my mod except the option with the same name (The Gloyr of War). And even that is always ON in the latest version. I don't think there's an easier way to describe the instalation.

Maybe what you're doing wrong is have the wrong files. If you read the instructions, there's a version of my mod that works with ERA 2.7.5 and the newest one that works with ERA III. Maybe there's your problem. Read the first post of this thread more carefully.

Thanks for the response! I have followed the instructions carefully - however, I still get errors like pixie sprite missing during the loading screen of a new game, or a total freeze of the game when clicking on commander button for a conflux hero.

Im wondering if there is an optimal wog scripts setting combination that can be used to avoid these bugs.

It's best to load WoG setting from hoLmod.dat file. This file disabled "bad" options and script and leave "good" ones.

@PaintingPeter

The thing you're describing is missing files. I would suggest a clean ERA installation, followed up by the installation of my mod. Then make sure that you go to modmanager and get my mod on top of the priority list.

Truly an honor!

Did they use the new refined version of the campaign (in version 1.3) with the Forge units or the old one?

They should do an english version as well, this looks really nice!

Hm.. First attempts for translation was made, when version 1.2 was the newest. And Forge/sci-fi elements are still bone of contention between fandom
So the idea is to translate old version with Tarnum Death Knight story and later ver 1.3. To please two sides

English version was not planned, but I've talked to VIP and yes, it's possible to create english GoW Chronicle standalone pack.

The thing is that the version found in 1.3 is more refined and it also features Tarnum as a Cyborg as well, so I think it is best. The story was re-writen and made better as well.

I am no fan of Forge either, but I think that ignoring the Sci-Fi part of Might and Magic altogether is wrong. Adding 4 non-recruitable creatures in my mod and acknowledging the lore was, in my opinion, a good solution. The Glory of War story has a better structure in v1.3 and I personally think it's the best one. Besides, the creatures used in v1.3 as a whole are much better than the ones used in v1.2. There's a lot of improvement that took place.

Season 3 of my youtube channel has begun, the glory of war campaigns continue with the Shadow of Death narrative! Check it out HERE

I think i am doing something wrong when i try to install this mod.

The Menu Background looks like parts of another image is laid upon the original Hero of Light backgroun.

Also when playing the campaign, the cinematic does not play it's full length before the game begins.

Lastly Wolf Riders are now Boars but are still shown the Wolf rider icon.

I use the ERA 3 VERSION.
