    Wtf. I work on my mod from 2018 that called “The Days of Silence” and what I see, Legacy of Silence…. Or author just decided to use name of my mod, or its just a troll, how it can be possible…

      Hi, Adam, you’re taking this too seriously, the modification whose author is kongsuni is called Legacy of Silence, the name of your modification is Days of Silence. Just because it contains the word SILENCE, you can’t take it for the same name.

      A modification of Days of Reckoning is currently under development, it also contains the word DAYS, which is also included in your mod name.

      This is definitely not a troll, kongsuni is a serious author of some excellent modifications.

    Reply
    1. Kionatria

      Like Liso said, it should be available by the end of this month.

      On another note, I tried playing LotS and there are some thing I noticed.

      1. The new town creatures cannot be upgraded via Hill Fort, nor the Third Upgrade mod extra building for the third tier creatures is available for them. Note that this does not extend to the original towns; Conflux can still have the Plasma, Void, Life Elementals, etc. This is solely for the new towns. However, the 8th dwelling is available for all towns, new and original. Also, when upgraded with the third tier creature building, the creature dwelling does not change. I tried it with Conflux, and instead of being able to recruit Hurricane, Life, Plasma, etc. elementals, I still had Storm, Ice, Energy, etc. I could solely upgrade those into Plasma, Hurricane, etc.
      2. Advanced Classes works as intended. No issues there.
      3. I added Trainer X to my game, and within it, the new creatures are depicted as the creatures from the original game. This does not change anything in the game, as the creatures are still the same, solely the picture is different.
      4. Some dwellings do not match the town they should be associated with. I played ‘Battle of Daeyan’s Ford’ with Tartarus, and instead of having the tier 7 dwelling, I had Conflux Pyre. Not that there’s a problem with the Pyre, simply that it does not match Tartarus when it should.

    Oh, and Cove’s 8th creature dwelling simply says ‘STRING NOT FOUND’, and you can’t buy the dwelling.

      No problems here. I’ve played plenty of games already, with only problems being tied to my comp rather than LotS. However, I do not play it via ERA 3. Instead I play it separately from ERA.

      Interestingly, in WoG options, most options, when right-clicked, do display English text, as do map names. Keep in mind that I said *most* options, not all.

    it will work just use old version of Heroes Forgotten Fields then it will work with all the new towns. It wont work with Era3 allways crash.

  33. Kionatria

    Some artifacts with active spells on them(Angelic Alliance, Cursed Armor, etc.) cause some kind of speech to occur during their casting. It may be that it actually says something, but I would have no idea what it was. It’s not a problem, as the speech ends before even the first creature has a chance of acting, but it’s still something to check.

    im new to these mod things. i ve played only hota so far.
    i did a little readin and it says it has to be played on the era3 platform. i think i have it installed. i also tried to watch and reproduce the easy mod install video. but it doesnt make sense for the lots mod.

    lots starts out of the extractd file just fine. is this legit? am i missing out some featueres by not starting it via era3?

    i dont understand a word in corean but i enjoy the new creatures so damn much 😀

      Yes you can just start the eraHD.exe from the LotS download. Dont forget to make HD mod settings just like in HotA, so the game looks much better.

I tried playing for a few hours and everything seemed to be working fine – except that some messages kept showing up on the screen and of course I had no idea what they said. This seems like the best HoMM3 addon, so fingers crossed for an English version 🙂

    I’ve discovered that external dwellings do not increase units produced inside a town of the same alignment. E.g.: you have a Conflux with a castle, Aurora Borealias and the Statue of Legion, giving you +9 to Phoenix generation. However, external dwelling(s) do not increase Phoenix production to +10, +11, etc. The same applies to both OG towns and the towns added through LotS itself. Mind you that that does not apply to buildings inside the town that change unit generation; Conflux’s Garden of Life will increase Pixie/Sprite/Fairy generation without issues.
    There are other issues, such as original towns’ 8th tier units(not the added towns) not having translated abilities(even though they work), or a lot of artifacts, buildings and other things not having full descriptions(e.g.: Fairy town’s grail building says “Unit generation increased by 50%, gold increase by 5000, cast” and that’s it. It took me some time to figure out that it has to be Cure that the Grail casts), which is not restricted to new towns, but those are minor problems when compared to the first one I’ve mentioned.

    When choosing a city, the heroes remain the same as at the start, but their skills change according to the chosen city. An example of Nagash and Sandro’s skills changed for Castle, both of them lost their necromancy.
    In the first version, everything was correct, the city changed along with the characters.

    Reply
    1. Kionatria

      I think that that’s because you chose the OG town. If you chose, say, Tower, and then switched to Cove, then your hero would change. But since you switched to Castle from Necropolis, the heroes didn’t change.

    Perhaps the people who are experiencing crashes have not read the warnings below.

    Important

    In the existing town selection screen, you can regard that you select the terrain. After starting the game, choose a town.

    Proper play is not guaranteed except for random maps. In particular, never play existing wog maps or campaigns.

    As this is a beta version, it is not compatible with other mods. Do not use the mod manager and run it as is. (except XXL mod) Compatibility will be considered later. If possible, please do not change the wog option from the value I set.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the mod! I’m also experiencing frequent crashing (i’m only playing multiplayer) even after updating.

    However, my biggest issue is the random ranged units that stop shooting. Has anyone experienced this before ? Are there any solutions ?
    For example, I may start with Castle, and upgrade my units – let us say Marksman. Then when I engage in a fight, the Marksman no longer can shoot, and has no value for shots. Even though the Marksman states in his description that it can shoot twice. (Ammo cart doesn’t fix this).

    I have noticed that in some cases even equipping certain Power / Knowledge items may prevent ranged units from shooting as well. (In this case the value for Shots on the unit does not get removed).

    This issue has appeared many times to myself as well as my friend with whom I play.

    Any suggestions would be great. We’ve both tried to reinstall several times, and we often check for updates as well.

    I have no problems of the sort that the previous posters have. However, I have noticed that the new towns do not benefit from having external 5th, 6th and 7th level dwellings. 1st-4th are fine, 5th-7th are not.
    Also, having an awesome time with LotS.

    I absolutely love the mod but with one huge BUT:

    When you start a new scenario and have more than one city only one of them gets converted – the other one stays intacted. Could this be corrected or could there be a dialogue box asking for a decision should one or all cities be replaced?

    Other than that, this is by far the best mod I have ever played.

      That’s not necessarily a problem. For instance, you choose Conflux at the beginning, and one of those towns is Conflux, then the next town will be the town you choose at the start of the game, and if you choose to have all towns to have Grail buildings, then you get to have the benefit of Conflux Grail, which is easily the most broken Grail building in the game, even with added towns.
