These 2 mods are extremely interesting. They completely re-vamp some of the units, making them a lot stronger, with new skills, various new traits and increased leadership requirements (Fire Magi, Light Magi, Fanatics, White Dragons, Monsters, Mystics, Bombersheep, Subverter, Adept of the Dark, Darkling, Spirit master, Medium, Evil Books). They are pretty interesting, but they work with the Russian version - the English one doesn't utilize them properly.

I've checked both mods threads, and they look really interesting. Looking at those, I am inclined to revert back to my original Russian version just to check them out...

If these mods can be translated (I'm willing to help if I can), people will enjoy them a lot, as it will add an increased replay value of this game.

I will most certainly do so I'll also try to install the russian version alongside the english one later today (I'll keep my fingers crossed that they will work together) and see if there's anything that can be done to make the mod interchangeable, but I kind of doubt that...

EDIT: Ok, I have discovered that Army of the dark mod is compatible with the current ENG version, as it contains an English language pack file inside. The Army of the Light on the other hand, does not.

Ok, here's the promised batch of screenshots. You will discover that most of them are in english - I took the time and translated almost everything concerning the Army of the Light mod on my own account. I'll be checking if the mod creators will spawn one in english as well - otherwise I'll ask them to publish their mod here with the english translation.

Still, I came to a bunch of problems that happen only on the english version of the game. The Mage of the Light's Gift, Holy Rain and Respawn crash the game when they are disabled (meaning waiting to be recharged or there is no target available), so I had to make up my own pics for the disabled status, which did not show at all.

Is it possible to use these two mods at the same time?
Or do you have to choose only one?

[DGDobrev]

Yes, they can be used together, although the units are mutually exclusive (they decrease each other's morale severely and tend to debuff eachother if they are allied).

The thing is that the original mod Army of the Light doesn't include an english translation, and Army of the Dark's translation is a little poor (but understandable)

Another problem is that they don't work properly with the english version due to missing pictures, duplicate file hashes, improper translations, etc. The missing pictures can lead to crashes though. This doesn't happen with the russian version at all. The mod works perfectly with it.

i have a idea... so you buy or download russian version , after you can use englishs version's loc_ses.kfs file (this file include english words ) you just overwrite russian version , and after you can use mods ?

[DGDobrev]

No, that won't work. The mod has new units and items. Everything for them (various new descriptions, ability pictures, textures, etc.) is packed in the mod file itself.

The best shot at it is to find all the missing stuff in the english version and add it, I think...
