Also new: you can now select any Fame 0 hero to start the game with either from the base game or the mod. I put pics up of all the heroes on the mod site and here are their unit icons:

Love your work Xeth :)

Now how about a save game editor :D

Or better random magic items, because the vanilla ones suck. In classic MoM you could make your own random treasures (which i did) but i see nothing in the new MoM that let's you do that.

Anyway, Thanks for your hard work. Enjoying your extra Heroes :)

Thanks for the kind words! A save game editor would not be a mod technically and require programming knowledge. Alas I'm not a programmer. I'm sure someone knowledgeable about hex editors could do it though.

In regards to more items, the game has a, "bug" that always rewards you with a randomly generated item. The only way to get the old school pre-made ones is from merchants. There are already 250 pre-made items copied from the old game to be had but you almost never see them because of the bug. A fellow modder I work with made the rewards better by removing these random items (fixing the, "bug"). This way you get the more unique items. It's on the nexus but here's a link:

Updated Lair Rewards

There isn't a program that allows you to make new items like the old itemmake.exe but you can easily add more to the game in the DB_ARTEFACT.xml file. If you decide to mod them I'd suggest creating your own DB file instead and just copy some things in. Also you'd want to use that mod from Alnakar or you'll almost never find them.

That's definitely not in the realm of the Hero Pack though I believe people have done it but not published the mod. Personally I never saw the appeal of this as they are not very complimentary to play together.
