If you want to edit the core files, yes you can just edit CoreUnits.xml. However if you want to provide a mod to others you will need to copy the whole hero unit definition to the mod folder and make it exactly how you want it. To add from existing items, you will need to use the InternalName from CoreItems.xml, CoreArmor.xml or CoreWeapons.xml. As long as the name you put as equipment is the same as that in these core files, it will add that to the hero. To add fr

I thought Teams created in Game Setup acted as Allies from the start of the game? I guess faction relations are on a "per civ" rather than "per alliance" basis.

This is an example of a hero definition for the first unit in the CoreUnits.xml file: [code="xml"] Craul Gravehands Craul Gravehands Adventurer Empire Champion Race_Type_Trogs</RaceType&gt

You need to copy the unit definition from CoreUnits.xml in main installation directory\Data\English to a file in the Mods directory. You must totally redefine the unit, as when you use the same internal name (eg. "Champion_ " matching the internal name of the hero you want to change). The new hero unit definition will be used in its entirety, so set up the hero in your file in the Mods directory exactly as you want it to appear in the game. If you want, you ca

I think Trade Treaties increase both side's income by 10%, and raise relations. Economic Treaties only raise the capital's income by 10% and produce the caravans. Caravans eventually improve the roads (or something like that) which may result in better bonus? I'm sure some other people will chime in.

As far as abilities go, Maul is an ability that extends a normal attack, rather than being a special attack in itself. Unlike a special ability that doesn't cause counterattacks and doesn't get a second chance (unless that ability specifically allows for it), Maul is functionally an ability that Extends Regular Attacks rather than being a special attack in itself. So it's a case of Attack -> If hit -> Maul -> If hit -> Maul etc. -> if doesn't hit -

I rarely use Steal Spirit now I use the Monuments mod - champs can actually level up to decent levels once you have a few of the XP buildings up. And if nothing else, you can level up L1 units as Commanders for the passive bonuses that are a lot more powerful when you don't have to risk combat to get them.

The spawn level (ie. which heroes can be spawned at each fame level) is kept in CoreGameEvents.xml in Data\English (from the main installation directory). When the number is -1, any hero can spawn. As of now the problem is that no higher level heroes have been created. You would need to create champions with a higher spawn level and then edit the CoreGameEvents.xml file to have those higher level heroes come up. I'm not sure if you can change the CoreGameEvents.x

For forum threads, you need to check the "Subscribe to this post" option and the "Email me when someone replies" option. I think the default is for threads you reply to threads to go in the Subscriptions page (but not for new threads), but to get an email update, you need to check that option too when you reply or start a new thread. And I think that for new threads you have to select both subscription options. Not sure if it's possible to have emails sent to you witho

Well there are online options like LastPass (which admittedly have had some problems which I think have been fixed up), and a home program called KeePass where you store your passwords on your home computer in a (somewhat) encrypted form. I know that LastPass uses a master password, I think KeePass uses one too.

If a battle loot item can't be picked up (and this may include defensive battles like defending a town, not sure) the items always get teleported to the sov.

Some core files you can edit by placing files that override them in My Documents\My Games\Legendary Heroes\Mods directory. However this only works for some things. See this object sanity thread by Heavenfall for more information: https://forums.elementalgame.com/434780

Have you added 1 to the Fear Ability? It was fixed in vanilla LH so that it lasted three turns, but that has been overrided by the setting in your mod. 3 has it apply for three turns, but you need to have 1 for it to actually skip a turn three turns in a row if you didn't resist. I am using an edited version of 1.3a (with the 1.3b changes for the loot pack being added manually)

AFAIK, the only stats which are boosted automatically by city levels are research, production and gildar income (different ratios for different city types). Grain, materials and essence do not increase automatically.

As far as I know, all champions at a particular fame milestone that are allowed to spawn have the same chance to swawn. There is an NPC Spawn Likelihood (or something like that) and for all heroes who can appear at fame milestones the likelihood is always maximum (100).

EDIT: Actually I'm certain. Potions from the Herbalist line are only available in the ZOC of the city that has the building. I know this because the potion that restores 1 hero wound is only available on the outskirts of the Conclave city that has the Alchemy Lab. I'm pretty sure things like Scroll Scribes etc. only allow you to buy their stuff in the city they're in. (AFAIK, each square in your ZoC is considered to be owned by only one city.) &nbsp
