I believe I have possibly discovered a bug in this build. When entering a battle with a Pegasus on the map, the shield appears and the axes cross as the encounter begins, but the game immediately crashes afterward. I am using the primary mod files and the double income and 90% off mod.

Hello dremor8484.
I haven't played this game since the DS so I'm a bit behind on the details. If I buy the PC version, I see a "Revenge of the Plague Lord" expansion file in the steam discussion. I also know that this mod is supposed to mirror the switch only version of the game that added more content/classes. So in short, my question is: Is this compatible with the Revenge of Plague Lord Expansion and/or does it already have the content of that expansion? (That said it looks like you might be the person who responded in that chat about the frost giant fix so maybe that is confirmation it works?) Regardless, hoping to give this mod a try, since I really do miss this game. Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

EDIT: nvm I see after looking over the content of the mod folder that it does. Thanks for making this.

Is there any way you could DM me what the names of the rar files you downloaded were? Sadly I got this to work a while back, but now I can't. It's odd since everything appears to be up to date, and the unification mod works but this one won't. If not, well that is okay too. Have a happy new year.

Thanks for reaching out. As not to spoil it for other users, if you could PM the spoilers, I would appreciate it. I don't play the game enough for it to happen on its own, and I would prefer to know what tools are in my arsenal rather than hoping certain things appear. For pros like you, this stuff is obvious and keeping track of what caused what is easy, but for me- not so much. I suck at rts games, heh, so I would rather just be told because I'm unlikely to even put 2 and 2 together even if I did manage to gain access to the units.

As for the tech tree, the building unlocks aren't the problem, it's I start getting lost around the later tiers but that is on me. If I went through the trouble of converting the unit button files I could probably build the tree. Maybe I'll do it in a few months.

Bit of an understatement I think, haha.

2 Things.
A) I'm stupid. Could someone please explain how to get the redeemer and the easter eggs (saints, shield maidens, dreadnaught, etc). I saw in the options they come "At a time of need" whatever that means? I have never seen them in the times I've played the race nor seen the opportunity to build them.
B) It's a big order, but is there anyone who could build a picture of the tech tree for this race. It would help a lot, imo. I've seen a few images on Deviant Art of a mod manual for the race that was supposedly gonna be built but it never was.

Otherwise, love the mod as always.

Long-time no see. Finally getting this mod again. I just wanted to let you know it might be worth adjusting your readme.text Apparently the new races unification mod requires Chaos Daemons so they aren't optional. Unless of course since you work with the community you obviously know more than I do, in which case carry on.

Also another thing. So I did get the mod working/loaded, but I still get weird errors like I use to. I only am using the witch hunters. Half the army colors are missing (easy to fix I will just move the files), and the army painter has strange lined boxes in it. If I recall, the weird lined boxes have appeared anytime I've used this mod, so I'm really curious about what causes it. One even appears to say "Titanium wars" in it or something? This a fresh install so I don't know what the issue is. I'm guessing it's an asset issue or something?

Been a long time. For those of you talking about the clouds and who are disappointed about it, that has to do with map skyboxes which this does not change. This addon is not meant for you to watch everything from a very far off distance like the UA mod. This mod is simply designed so you aren't way too close to the screen like in the standard game: Not super far away from the screen, but less close to the screen. The base game is a really really small screen which is painful. This addon is not meant for you to see the whole map at once. In short, this addon works best at its medium range, not its fully extended one.

If you get a longer camera like the one from UA it will be even worse since again, the maps have not been adjusted to accommodate the camera, and you will zoom way into the distance and see nothing but clouds. That is why I chose to share this lesser distant camera as it is because with the UA camera you will back up into absolute nothingness. Hope that clears things up, and I am happy for those of you who find this mod helpful. For those of you who do not like, well I hope you can find some other resource that yields the desired effect.

Yep-

Awesome as usual, keep it up!

I know I'm late but, Wow! Nice job with these so far, Eranthis, professional as always. I'm glad your breaking it up, because I really, really hope you see this project through to completion. I don't care if it takes years (as it has already), or if u constantly bounce around what your working on just please keep at it. There has never been a texture mod as awe-inspiring as this, and I doubt the community will ever see anything like it again. I tried my hand a texturing myself last year, and all I can say is "My god your amazing!" Its really hard work to do what your doing and your doing a hell of a job. Can't wait for the next update!

I will always laugh that this came out a few days after mine (same mod) but got way more downloads since it was on the DoW and DoW soulstorm page as opposed to just the DoW Soulstorm page. Glad more people are getting access to mod though, since (lets face it) it is a must have mod. Guess we have double the fire power now and there will never be a risk of someone not having it. XD Thanks for posting it where everyone can see, everyone should have this.

This might be a dumb question, but is there a comprehensive list of everything that this mod fixes anywhere (since relicnews is gone)? Its not that I don't trust the mod, XD I just would like to know what has been changed so I can acknowledge it.

That does make sense now that I think about it Kasrkin. I guess I just have a problem with the not much diversity thing. As in, space marines have 2xdreadnaughts, speeders, flying speeders, whirlwinds, rhinos, and predators, while the witch only have super rhinos, immolators, one arbites "rhino", and artillery. You only get walkers and the demon vehicle if you choose inquisition. But I guess the improved acts of faith, addition of the retribution squad, and better relic unit are meant to compensate for it. I can see the challenge of balancing.

I am curious about one thing, brother Gambit. As much as I do love this mod, why do you think no one has made a "re-balancing mod" for the normal race? I would do it myself but I don't know how. Very rarely do you see someone playing the sisters, and generally they have to "zerg rush" (starcraft HERESY!) and defeat the enemy before they get out teched or lose, since their tier three units (minus penitent engines) are quite weak and their vehicles are more or less made of glass. The computer only really seems to be good with them because it has an impossible/constant amount faith. Heck even a faith boost or a replacement with req faith would probably save the vanilla race. In multiplayer, I often get destroyed before I can even get off the ground with a rush. I just think they would be a more viable race if they had stats similar to this mod. The vanilla defense and hp are just atrocious. They're basically guardsmen at the beginning of the game, before they get flamethrowers...or I just suck...which I kinda do.
I know this race isn't suppose to replace SoB, and sadly you can't play this mod in campaign or online (unless the other person has it) which is by far the saddest part. ;_; Lemme guess...its the whole "lol get good scrub" concept.
BTW, Bloodline added a new skin for this race "order of the raped version" which actually is a faction...

On a side note. I think the best terrain out there right now is the terrain from the bloodline mod.

That breastplate already has more character/definition than the entire old statue. XD Can't wait.

Still probably the best SoB/Witch Hunter mod ever. The new HD skins are awesome, but no version can quite compare to the living saint, the fx effects for the abilities, the removal of the annoying faith to the better requisition faith, or the better balancing of this version. The sisters in this version have more health and access to storm bolters which honestly make them so much better than the original, as they aren't as pathetically weak. Not to mention the heavy weapons group just wreck everything and was a great addition.

The standard SoB version is kinda trash tier with out faith active...I'm sure there's plenty of people who could play me and prove me wrong, as I'm not pro at all (infact I still fall into noob/okay category playing on normal/and struggling in hard), but they just aren't that good compared to other races. These sisters can at least stand their ground without faith and don't get slaughtered.

The only 2 things I didn't like about this mod is the vehicle cap: Just 2 immolators...that's it? And I personally I just don't care for the choose a path thing, like the tau. I want immolators AND penitent engines but you can't and you can only have 2 immolaters. The paths not a big deal but that cap is just...guh.

Well I mean it doesn't need to be perfect HD terrain. I see where your coming from and agree that would probably cause good amounts of lag. I just wish for better texture. Or even just better use of textures like this map for instance: Moddb.com The texture for dirt and standard ground just pails in comparison to these HD models.

I almost forgot how ridiculously complicated/beautiful/huge your maps are. XD Amazing job on all of these! Just curious, but is it still really normal to be missing a texture or two? Everything appears to be fine except for roof tops, which appear as the infamous purple question mark. Am i missing a texture or is the map so big the game is screwing up? Again, just curious.

Hmm, I like the effect but it still seems to have issues for me. On some maps, I can see grid lines underneath the water and on others, I can see random bright squares of water texture that don't match the new water texture.

Personally I hope he re-textures the actual terrain at some point though I'm guessing the process would be different. You have these beautiful HD warriors and units moving atop a stretchy mushy 240p ground.
