Mod: Epic Heroes Mod -Version 1.5 Released

[Xietor]

Note:

When you extract the files to the mod folder you will have 1 yellow folder named Epic Heroes Mod. That file had to be opened and the 2 files inside it manually drug out of the folder. That would be the DM file and another yellow folder
named ehspr(contains the sprites).

Some kind person may want to tell me how to zip the mod and attach it so that only the 2 files extract to the mod folder, thereby saving people the manual dragging of files step.

As to the updated version:

. Black Heart Treant-
a. descr is improved
b. added 1n and 1e.

2. Tithe Collector
a. itemslot issue fixed(he had 2 heads 3 misc)
In 1.1 he will have 1 head and 2 misc. I did catch this myself, but how i missed it when i did a preview of all 22 heroes is puzzling.
b. minor typo corrected

3. Ancient Ophidian-descr tweaked, typo corrected.

4. Sacred Yeti-

a.precision increased.

b. makemonster ability changed from 3 wingless to 1 winter wolf.

c. Magicleader added(so he can lead his winter wolves)

d. bite replaced by Yeti Slam

d. descr tweaked

5. Grand Elephantarch:

a. Elephant Barding's prot lowered, so his starting prot is now 15.

b. His make unit ability changed from 2 heart companions to 2 hoplites.

c. Elephantarch enc raised from 0 to 1.

6.Black Phoenix-fire imps come to him now in great numbers.

7. Blood Jarl-

a. ice imps now radiate cold(even though fire imps do not radiate fire), and they have ice prot(stronger in cold weaker in hot climates).

b. Blood Jarl lost his free blood slave a turn abilty.

like the changes, bummer about the +1 BS/turn loss for the jarl.

To make a zip file where unzipping will just result in the two files... select the .dm file and the sprite folder and then make a zip. When unzipping they have to "unzip to here" vs. unzip and create a folder name "xxx" where xxx is the name of the zip file.

If this isn't done they don't even see the mod in the preferences area and should know to look for it.

Well the blood jarl has a special coded ability that allows him to effectively hunt blood slaves. Send him out to a prov with 5000 people in it and let him hunt. He is, after all, a Blood Jarl-an expert at finding blood slaves.

I am going to post a picture or 2 of the various new monsters/heroes for those who have not downloaded the mod.
This is a croaker, summoned by the Ctis Epic hero(sprite by Amos)

I cann't test now, but a friend have this problem yesterday. The game quit whith an error message about file missing. A problem whith capital letters in file name is possible?

[Xietor]

Tyrian-let me know if you are having issues with 1.1. Version 1.0 that you reported was having issues, I downloaded into my mod folder after deleting all epic heroes files and it worked fine.

I use the new version(1.1) many times a day and have had no issues with it.

[Tyrian]

I try it when I can . Thanks for your effort and this mod.
