New Mod Idea
Hi all! I recently revisited Heroes IV and I was happy to find that there are some new mods released for this game. I had an idea of a mod and I was wondering if there is a mod already that either:
1) Allows all creature dwellings to be build in towns (instead of choosing one of each level)
2) Or if that's not possible, a mod that allows a player to interchange the creature buildings by paying for the new building. For instance you get a new town that has champions instead of Angels, so you pay for the Portal of Glory and it replaces the Champions building.
Is there a mod which does something like that? And if there isn't one, is it possible to do that?

Check out the work Albyx has been doing. He has added town conversion, so it seems like it would definitely be possible to do either of the things you have mentioned (and if I remember correctly, someone has brought up building both dwellings of the same level in a town).
Here is the discord for Albyx's Enhancement mod if you're interested.

Hi, I'm currently working on this. Because of game limitations it will be possible to build only 6 creature producing buildings in one town before game crashes, for Nature (and Chaos in Enhancement mod) it means 5 dwellings + creature portal, and for other factions 6 dwellings.
It will be available in EM 1.2

That's great!
If there are building limitations, wouldn't be easier to make the buildings interchangeable (demolish one and build the other)?

May be hard have more than 6 because its only 6 places on the screen. Its hardcodded. I think that better is to have more choices. Eg. Not one from 2 but one from 3 creatures. Other option is 2 creatures in one building like in creature portal. So you can built one from 2 buildings and next you can but one from 2 creatures.
But first we must have more creatures! In H4zero way. We need creature bank and add all of them to game.
I must restore my old mod Restiration of Heretyka but first I must translate it to eng. Lady time I have willingness to mod H4 too. And we have more options now!

To much mistakes. Here is corrected text:

I must restore my old mod Restoration of Herathia but first I must translate it to eng. Last time I have willingness to mod H4 too. And we have more options now!

It's doable but we'll have to sacrifice with one dwelling choise for that because dwelling number of 8 per town is hardcoded too.

Sadly impossible as for now. There can be only one creature portal per town.

Nice! If you need help with integrating your mod into RK Modding System you can ask me. There's launcher for it allowing to choose mods configuration coming soon, so all MS based mods can be combined!

I was also wondering if there's a way to get rid of the perpetual fog of war that makes all enemy heroes invisible even in areas you have already explored. It is so annoying!

Of course Unificated Modding System like platform is the best solution! When I saw last mods my first thing was to integrate my and the rest mods. Of course if its posibble! Mods can be opposite.
If you can build launcher with options its wonderfull! We can have big unificated platform.
Simply I would commnitate what I want and you and others can tell if its possible or not.
