Heard that this mod fixed the new Heroes not carrying over between campaigns issue after the new offline mode patch. Great to see it also fixes the Anastasia, Crag Hack and Sandro issue. You sir are an absolute legend! Well done! Thank you so much! 10 rating given for doing Ubisucks job for them lol. :)

Btw normally most mod projects on this site put their download files in the files section/tab instead of addons section. Not a big deal but it's a led to a bit of confusion on steam with people thinking there's no downloads and needing to be told yes there is lol. What's weird is they still display in the files summary area on your front page so it must somehow still be detecting the files elsewhere in addons so it's kinda odd that the main files area/section hasn't detected them too. One of those moddb quirks I guess..

This is great work mate!

Cool!

The Heroes 6 server goes offline in a few days from now and from the sound of things Ubisoft is going to do nothing and we're gonna need modders to save the day. Apparently a lot of the dynasty stuff is actually stored locally after all and it's just validation stuff online.. if that's true then hopefully skilled modders here can bring back in all the lost dynasty heroes and items into the game. We can see the great work the Heroes 5.5 and 7.5 projects are doing here on moddb fixing the bugs in the other ubisuck games, fingers crossed someone talented can do a Heroes 6.5 mod too!

+1 to this.. it'd be nice to have the choice.. the 3D ones may have been tiny and simple but they were kind of cool!

"Heroes" like you guys will be what the fans need when the Heroes 6 server goes offline in a few days from now.

Indeed it is! :) and for others reading this it can be found here:

All fixed now. Sorry it took so long but Steve & Jon had essentially retired from the project. However they're back now working on a remaster of The Lost Colony and in the meantime have fixed the savegame bug in a new 2.22 release here:

I'm not the mod author but Dale gave me permission to take over this inactive page and update it. This old download was the first v1.01 release and there were plenty that came after it with many more features and bug fixes. I've uploaded Dale's final v1.12 release here now so probably best to try that one instead!

Same for me, I'll let Steve know although I'm not sure if he's still working on this anymore!

Thank you! :) New dev diary 9 is out now too. Not long to go now!

Great job guys! I gotta visit the forums again as it's been a while!

This is great!

Great job guys! Super excited for a new version!

Thanks! :) The 2 big things delaying this project and holding me back where my Civ2 lost scenario preservation work (that took years to do) and my Civ2 HD tour video that this all feeds into. As of this week they're both pretty much done now which means now there should be nothing stopping me doing the final work required to finish this mod (and my other ones) and get it released around the end of the year. :)

great work mate!

And Suppanut definitely did NOT give permission for this to be posted outside of the Warlords ModDB page or for you to start directing people to your copy instead of his official release. Could have at least put his name on it and a link to the Warlords page.

Yes that's what happens when you visit a mod that's not finished yet lol. Hopefully will have it done before the end of 2022.

Yup along with a few other famous RA2 units missing too as sadly Civ2 has a unit limit so I had to get picky!

Suppanut would have to become 'Seravy v2.0' to try and make Warlord changes to CoM1 lol. The whole reason Seravy made the standalone CoM2 was because hacking MoM to do CoM1 was such a difficult nightmare.

FYI as the person who runs the discord community I'd like to point out that's not the case. Nearly every CoM fan has been using CoM2 since it's release as the majority of the community consider it superior to CoM1. Occasionally we'll get someone posting about CoM1 in the chat but the rest of us are using CoM2.

that site is pretty dodgy.. why hasn't it been uploaded here to ModDB?

hah.. cool.. thank you so much for your kind words, playing my old mod and showcasing it to the world. :) FYI If you had gone back the way you came at the end you'd end up back on the bridge where you can talk to Picard to end the demo and see a cutscene sequence teasing future plans that I dunno if I'll ever get to as I'm playing other games and making other mods (eg lots of Civ2 stuff) these days. Regarding your comments:
0-Unfortunately this IS the remaster haha, you should see what it used to look like before GZDoom, to make it look any better is way beyond my limited talents probably.
1-Yeah the wrong hand & arm on the Phaser Rifle was a huge silly mistake I've copped many comments for over the years (but not as many grumpy ones as I have for my 'Plasma torch' heh), one day I'll fix it haha!
2-The species 8472 are not great but pretty much the limit of my poor abilities sadly, and no one else has ever offered to make better ones.
3-People keep saying "you can do 3D phaser beams for real these days" but no one has actually given me a link to a GZ Doom mod using them that I can rip the code from so feel free to be the first to do that cause I haven't found any myself and I'm not a programmer so I can't make that fancy stuff myself.
4-As for your Slowdowns which I can see got pretty bad there at the end, I'm still using a 10 year old PC with nothing but a lousy internal intel 4600 graphics chip and my mod runs fine in GZDoom on there. So I'd say it's probably the great many new, weird and wonderful extra things you've got going on here to play it haha.. eg the fancy lighting and exploding bodies bloodbath mods your using that probably pushes things a lot! I'm also not using the latest GZDoom so they may have done some new stuff that's more resource hungry. Also it looks like you're playing on a android phone which opens a whoooole other can of worms probably lol.
Anyway thanks again, I always love seeing people play my old stuff! :)
