Enhanced Highlights – HoMM: Olden Era
By default, the game highlights map objects with the same standard color when holding Left Alt. With this mod, all objects are still highlighted normally, but objects controlled by a player are highlighted using that player’s flag color.

The mod also adds floating colored faction symbols above player-owned objects, making controlled dwellings and other owned map objects easier to spot at a glance.
Installation
- Install BepInEx 6 IL2CPP into your Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era game folder, where the game executable is located.
- Launch the game once so BepInEx can initialize and generate IL2CPP interop files on first run. This may take a moment.
- Close the game.
- Copy the unpacked plugin into:
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era\BepInEx\plugins - Launch the game and load a map.
Configuration

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era\BepInEx\config\com.hellmanor.enhancedhighlits.cfg
Available options:
- EnableAltHighlights – enables or disables player-colored Left Alt highlighting.
- EnableFloatingSymbols – enables or disables floating player-colored faction symbols above owned objects.

Built for BepInEx 6 IL2CPP and tested with the IL2CPP version of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era.
The mod only changes visual highlighting and ownership markers on the adventure map. It does not change ownership, object interaction, resources, movement, AI, save data, or gameplay rules.
Troubleshooting
If the mod does not appear to work, make sure:
- BepInEx 6 IL2CPP is installed correctly.
- The mod DLL is inside the folder
BepInEx\plugins - The relevant feature is enabled in the config file.
If owned objects are highlighted correctly but floating symbols do not appear, check that EnableFloatingSymbols is set to true.
If floating symbols appear but ALT highlighting does not change color, check that EnableAltHighlights is set to true.
