Hmm, I'm beginning to see why it was disabled. Taus Clasan is supposed to have a healing aura, which doesn't work - but it is a fun unit nonetheless.

A lot of fun indeed, as you can see from the screens

Looks cool. How does this mod work you have to use an item to change your troops? Maybe if you fixed it you could upload it? Thnks

Yes, you simply use an item and any troops that the item can transform, get transformed. However, I'm not certain I have the right to upload it the mod here.

But I think that there is a workaround. People can download it from the original links and I can upload only the required files to convert those mods into english.

Will that be ok?

Army of the Light and Army of the Dark unofficial fix README (included in the archive as well):

This is the unofficial english fix for the mods Army of the Light and Army of the Dark, created by

Serega, zini4_tha_grunt, and sayNT.

What does the fix do:
- Translates the Army of the Light mod in English.
- Adds some "fake" images to fool KBAP from crashing when the Mage of the Light's turn comes.
- Even though the images will not show, the description will be available, so you can refer to it for

recharge time, charges, availability and so on. You should be aware that both abilities with charges

(gift and mass resurrection) have a recharge time as well regardless of the charges left.
- Fixes multiple translation errors in the Army of the Dark english language file.
- Adds a new line for the Forsaken Book that notifies the user that he/she can also transform a Giant

into Taus Clasan (that line is not present in the original russian mod).
- Fixes multiple [NF] errors due to improper coding in the english language file.

I. Installing the fix for Army of the Light mod.

1. Download the mod from here:
http://kingsbounty.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=5095
(the 3 links in the first post)

2. Extract all the files you downloaded in the folder data/mods. You should have these 3 files:
KBMaster_2.2.2_for_a12.kfs
mod_a12_master_113_common_files.kfs
mod_a12_Master_121_army_of_light.kfs

3. Now open mod_a12_Master_121_army_of_light.kfs with winzip or winrar. You will see a bunch of folders

in this archive.
3.1. Go to the localization folder. You will see a file rus_army_of_light.lng. This is the file for the

russian version of KBAP. Go to Add and select the eng_army_of_light.lng file that comes with this fix.

When the operation is complete, you should have both files in this localization folder:
rus_army_of_light.lng
eng_army_of_light.lng

3.2. Go to the images folder. Select Add and select these 3 files from this fix:
lm_holy_rain_disabled.png
lm_odar_disabled.png
lm_respawn_disabled.png
and complete the operation. Sadly, that doesn't fix the images of the Mage of the Light, but at least

it prevents the game from crashing when this troop's turn comes.

That should do it. Simply update the mod_a12_Master_121_army_of_light.kfs with the new files and you

should be done.

II. Installing the fix for Army of the Dark mod.

1. Download the mod from here:
http://kingsbounty.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=4531
(the 2 links in the first post)

2. Extract all the files you downloaded in the folder data/mods. You should have these files:
KBMaster_2.2.2_for_a12.kfs -> necessary!
mod_a12_master_113_common_files.kfs -> necesary!
mod_a12_Master_121_army_of_light.kfs -> if you have the army of the light mod as well.
mod_a12_master_114_armyofdark.kfs -> the main file for the army of the dark mod.

3. Open mod_a12_master_114_armyofdark.kfs file with winzip or winrar. Go to the localization folder.

There are 2 files there:
eng_army_of_dark.lng
rus_army_of_dark.lng

Select Add and point to the eng_army_of_dark.lng from the fix. Replace the original file.


III. Final words.

You should be aware that this is simply an UNOFFICIAL fix to a mod that is in constant development by its creators. You can expect various discrepancies, problems, probably improper ability usage, and so on. However, I can tell for a fact that it is completely playable like this if you overlook the missing images and slight translation discrepancies.

Enjoy guys

NOTE: Forgot to add that this fix also works with a game that has already commenced (started). The new items will appear when you switch locations (go to an underground area, switch maps, etc.).

NOTE 2: This mod is also compatible with the basic interface and pet hint mods.

NOTE 3: There is a known issue that may cause game crashes when right-clicking on enemy troops that have units from the army of the light or army of the dark in their ranks. Always quicksave before battle.

NOTE 4: I didn't fix the master mod file, so when you mouse over the kbmods flag in the top right of your screen, you will get a NF error. Usually, that flag shows which mods are currently in use. I don't think that is relevant, and in addition to that, it will be an alteration to the original master mod file.
- In addition to that, the original 2.2.2 version of the master mod has a built-in warning if the game version is higher than build 5700 that pops up every time you start or load a game. Very annoying to say the least.

only problem I have is the 1st link seems to be broken for the army of darkness in the russian forum. I can't get the mod_a12_master_114_armyofdark.kfs file. Do you need an account on that forum to dl it too?

[The Rider]

I am not sure if this is mentioned, but for army of light/darkness you need the KB_Master_mod
and yes, you need an account in the russian forums if you want to download the files

[DGDobrev]

Well, it's not a problem to register an account I can post the files here, but I need a permission from the mod author, and for some reason, although I am registered there, I cannot post, quote, and send PM's...

So for now, this is the only legal way to get everything without harming the rights of the mod authors.

[fourth]

regestering an account didn't fix the problem anyways, it does seem like a broken link on army of darkness or my computer doesn't have setting required for a Russian site?
The only file a can't dl is the army of darkness from their forum

[DGDobrev]

That is weird - all of the files are hosted on kingsbounty.ru.

2.2.3 is what you need.
