Thanks friend, it seems like you basically have answered all my questions!

EDIT:  Okay I have installed all mods, I am wondering if there is something wrong with the text possibly, although it could be fine and just the nature of the mod. The races are all named as things like Lizardmen #K, Elves #E which is odd and traits like 'Is Female' 'Is Humanoid' and tooltip for those show no description

just want to make sure because there is a few steps, but I have downloaded all compatible with Xtra/CoS versions, as well as followed what to delete. Which I think was the only thing it said i had to delete was CoS rivermod folder.

Hey thanks much. Rusty on the details even for vanilla version, just haven't played in a long while.

So, personal preference, do you guys tend to remove certain mods for any reason? I've noticed in the user manual it tells you XtraDeconstruct is preloaded with even more mods and how to remove them. I'm leaving everything intact for now.

i'm curious why were Champion Camps removed? Was it because of the disappearing champions?

Now what are the pros and cons of enabling it again? The readme you made shows that I could if I wanted to...

BTW a rehash of an earlier suggestion; have certain buildings like the Tower of Dominion and the Palace unlock spells for Commanders similar to Sorcerer only spells like Meditation etc.

Alright, I found my error myself, I hadn't checked the "Use Mods" checkbox in options. I thought I looked for something like that, but apparantly not carefully enough

Another (hopefully) simple question, I am running the game at 1920x1080 resolution, but I am still getting the thing where the abilities overlay my equipment... any idea why that happens?

So I dipped back into FELH again for the first time in awhile, and decided to go ahead and try out this mod.

I'm really impressed with the amount of work that obviously has gone into it, but I have a few issues in the early going, one of which is potentially game-breaking.

1. I researched the "Champion 1" tech but I don't see any way to actually recruit a level one Champ.

2. I can't seem to attack towns.  Granted, I've only come across one, so it may be an isolated bug.  But it's a brand new town that got put down near me, and I decided to attack it right away.  My army, though, just runs in place indefinitely until I change their target to a square other than the town.  Hrm.

3. Mana costs seem out of whack.  Strategic spells cost far more than they are supposed to.  I noticed this several times, but I only caught the exact amount once: a Tutelage spell that should have cost 15 mana cost 30.  Edit: further tests confirm strategic spells costing double listed mana cost.

Thanks for any help.

Aha.  Thanks for the quick response.  Yeah for some reason I missed that.  I wonder if it's also the reason an enemy sov has a bunch of his bonuses doubled, so that he has 135 dodge (!!).  Anyway, I'll try to fix the installation.  Like what I've seen so far!

Also, re: the champion issue: I don't have that mod installed, and the AI might have had a bunch from the same side, but it was so early in the game I have a hard time believing there were already 100 Champs out there.  I personally had only my sov and the first champ you get from Tower of Dominion.  Also, I did get two champs virtually back to back not too much later, before I hit 100 fame, and for no reason that I could discern.  FWIW.

N/A

Well that's interesting; the champs I got back-to-back were both level three, and I bet I got them just as level 3 champs became available.  Haven't had a chance to try the re-install but looking forward to it.  Thanks for the help; you da man!  I'll go grab that Champ Bonanza mod, too.

Also: I take it your mod changes the rate at which one acquires champs?  I see you mention getting one at 3 fame; vanilla was 10, 100, (250 or 300)...
