Its easy, in the list displayed before game starts, tick all towns except conflux and inferno. Then if they are in the map, they will be automatically changed to other towns.

Im 100% sure that absoluely no one would say no to a new town made by hota, thus new content for your favourite game. otherwise you must be a real hypocrite or not a hardcore fan.
Oh sod off, I'm a fan, but I'm a respectful one (I think), and thus I limit my wishes to thing which ought to be easy to implement, like water-versions of existing map structures.

I take it you would say no to a new town then  ...cause that's what he said. And try to be respectful to other people as well before telling someone to sod off in all your self righteous glory and then going on by presenting us your personal wishes which in your head somehow are more appropriate.

Yep, don't need a new town, not when Conflux is in dire need of a revamp, and such a project would involve rather less than half the amount of work graphically.

Firstly, I reserve the right to say sod off to someone being an egotistical:
"otherwise you must be a real hypocrite or not a hardcore fan."
See? Why didn't he just say "I'm right and you're wrong", even though this is whole thing is just a matter of opinion?
Also, I did actually make a thread about this sort of stuff, precisely so we didn't have this thread banked up with wishlists.

I dont't care much for neither the thread you decided was so cool to create nor for your enterpretation of what i said being a wish. HOTA team created stuff out of ambition which is unmatched in quality. Then a lot of romancing the idea of Forge was done, on their FB page and elsewhere. They have quite a lot of material shown at one point or another. If you think their capacity after doing Cove is not enouhgh to see forge or anyother town through, than this handicap is your own to carry. However, after saying that they don't feel like a new town is the thing fans want, I (beign a fan and regurarly reading through most of their open forums) had to say something... this is why this is a forum and not a homepage of HOTA where we only get to read and not comment. If they find this offensive, sorry, their mod has only brought me joy and I can't help but anticipate more of it. As for pretencious pricks like you matt...sod off will ya?

In other words, you're going to ignore the statements of the originators and contributors, and keep posting demands for complex game elements that are, at best, only marginally supported.
Also, I didn't create that thread because I thought it would be fun to do it, I created it because I was sick to death of this thread continually being clogged up by wishlists.

It seems that you might be misinterpreting 'what the game needs right now' for 'we don't think the fans want a new town'. I read the df2 forum, too, but I don't know where you picked up this conclusion exactly? I hardly think that the crew could miss the fact that many fans would have wanted a new town yesterday (just try reading their facebook page for example).

i like the idea of new towns, myself. the more choices i can have, the more variants i can throw into a map/campaign.
and if you have talent, let the talent flow; however it will. this of course doesn't apply just to the HotA team. talent is talent, anywhere. and more is almost always better, in gaming, and especially modding. gameplay can be set up however a map maker chooses, depending on what they want in the game. so, why not go for broke?

Sorry for the tension escalating, I didn't mean to. The reason is most probably my first post.

Matt, a week or two ago I read your wishlist and decided not to comment it nevertheless the presence of a wish which is more or less strange in light of NWC changes to their own game, but now after you gave I link to it I have a question for you: Do you know that your wish for change in the Scholar skill is just opposite to the change in that skill made by NWC?!
My first post was just my point of view and an idea - a raw one and nothing more. No one begged for it especially the HotA Team. But as now the point is wishes, yes, I have one and it's not both sides to stop because it wont happen. Either side thinks that only their vision is right - nothing new!
HotA Team, could you please separate the new content from the nongraphical changes in the original game by making two installers or a option what to be installed in the installation process. I know that it will cost time and efforts but please consider my request.

First of all, I just want to say thanks to the guys that made Hota, it's simply amazing! I've been playing it for months now 
About the recent discussion, I'd be very happy with any kind new of addition. The guys that made Hota proved us that they know what they are doing so I have faith in them. If at some point it's a new town, then great

Al least you and I state that our wishes are just that, not things the game needs right now, like some people do.

In RoE version 1.0 you could learn with Scholar skill any magic up to 4th level from the spell book of the other hero including spells from scrolls. I am not sure is this was valid for tome of magic artefacts but for scrolls it surely worked. With patch or with AB they removed the learning of spells from scrolls. Of course you could give the scroll to an enemy and try to learn the spell with Eagle Eye but that's too complicate.
My idea of new towns is just an idea and quite changeable one not a wish. In fact only the Forge, Desert town and Vori elves town are interesting to me. And just to be clear, my wish is that you could choose what to install during the installation - the modifications of the original game or the new content or both. It would be even better if you could choose which new towns you want to install. Personally I am not a fan of the idea for Inquisition town but from what I read today in the Russian forum and could understand with my poor Russian most probably the next town will be the Cathedral.

Guys, cool down a bit. I understand that any discussion on new towns is always a big hype and the only thing I wanted to do with my post is to make it a bit less). The new town probably will come one day or another - it is one of those ultimate ways of expanding the game. But it will only come in its time and no sooner. We've barely settled the balance of existing towns and it will still probably need some corrections. In such times the new town is what the game needs the least.

As for this I can state firmly: No. Never. HotA is built around the idea of an integral expansion with no removable content and no variations. There will never be any separation of graphical-nongraphical, singleplayer-multiplayer or brand_new-fixed_old. One either accepts the game as we decided to deliver it or declines it all. No optional installations.

No optional installations.
And what about Forge, if it will be implemented in HotA. Some time ago I read that in the assumptions of the NWC it was to give a players possibility to exclude the city in game (the whole fraction - the units and objects) in the case of games on random maps, and simple scenarios.
If I you add Forge to the game will be there a tool for exclusion of the city in the current scenario? Or even a map editor, where with one click player could off this fraction on the map.

Hey I have not been reading this thread too much but I have played HotA quite a lot and wanted to say thanks to whoever made this awesome expansion. The Cove literally fit that game like it was always meant to be there. Perfect line up with an absolutely gorgeous townscreen and music.
Thanks again.

Virus in Hota download
Hi all. I really want to try out this mod, but when I scan the download for viruses, every file I have tried comes up with a trojan virus. Have any of you also had this issue, and where can I get a clean file from? Thanks.
