First release version of the Flood Mod. Currently plays a lot like Gamecheat13's old version on the Xbox 360, though it replaces Anders.
Features:
- Can recruit all Flood Units (with the exception of the Roots and the Spore Clouds)
- 300 unit pop-cap
- Larger starting supplies (8000)
Upcoming Features & To-Do:
- Find a way to implement the Roots and Spore cloud in a way that makes sense.
- Replace UNSC buildings with Flood structures.
- Give some units special abilities.
- Possibly find a way to replace one of the 'random leader' options with Flood.
Installation:
Extract all files into your HaloWarsDE folder. Make sure you make backups of your original root.era and your xgameFinal.exe.
Changelog:
v.1.0: First Release.
Been looking forward to a mod like this. Hope it grows into a beautiful infestation.
why doesnt this work?
i extracted the files into the halowars folder
Question, are you using this with the Windows Store version, or the Steam version?
I'm using the steam version and also am having trouble. Game starts fine but I can't seem to use the use the flood.
Are you playing as Anders?

Can't wait to see how far you take this! Thank you!
Cant wait to see this mod progress. Amazing work, keep it up man.
Is it fine if I edit this and try to get some balance to this? Like Flood unit cost and lower command points?
You can tweak it as much as you like, just make sure you credit me if you upload it elsewhere.
For sure! I love this mod.
this does not work for me i replaced the root.era and xgamefinal.exe with the modded ones but anders is still normal. i have the steam version by the way.
Roots are the special unit like the Elephant and work when they lock down but it takes a long time for them to be able to unlock, spore clouds I have no idea about, special unit abilty for the flood infection forms obviously infects
Great mod, been waiting forever, thanks m8
same here, does not work with steam version, I took the woman "Anders"
Hm. There might be an issue with a new update or something similar, I'll have to look into it while playing with getting the next update out.
It works for me, i'm playing on latest updates on steam version.
Same it works for me on steam
How did you do this? I'm no modder but I've learned how to increase the squads (Or add a random unit to the squad i.e flamethrower and marine/marine, flamethrower, odst), population, and starting supplies but I just can't seem to add other units like the rebels and rhino. I looked through the editable xmcs (leaders, squads, objects, and techs) and I'm clueless on how you managed to pull this off. I tried adding in a spore cloud to the Airpad but I can't get it to work. Any ideas?
If you want the characters to use new units, you have to give the permission in the techs.xml file
I'm introducing my Halo to Halo Wars on the PC but the mod is making it so humans can't upgrade some characters, RIPeroni, I can't upgrade the spartans, the flamethrowers(past flash bang) and marines(Past new blood) HELLPPPP
Nevermind...
Hm. I'll look into this for the next update. Thanks for telling me.
No nevermind I was being a stupid, you can upgrade to max as long as you have the reactors, it's just that the images for the flood units show up instead of the upgrade image if you don't have the reactors
Oh, alright then. Thanks for the info anyway. It'll be fixed once I take the Flood off the UNSC roster later down the line.

could you possibly release a .zip variant? not everyone has access to winrar or a .rar extractor and since nearly EVERY site that allows access to a .rar extraction program is riddled with malware and viruses, it would be nice to have a version of this mod to download without the need to "play pool with a rope" to play.
do think you could tell me the full pathway to the required Halo Wars Folder I have the Microsoft store version
Could you make a tutorial on how to install this for Windows? It's so complicated, I have no idea what I'm doing!
how do i install this to my halo wars? cause i dont know how.
Hey slafto I have been absolutely waiting to play as the flood. Thanks for bringing it to us. I have a question though. Is it possible to add an infantry only mode or a separate version of the mod with only infantry units? I like to have infantry battle against the flood.

Could you as a long term goal do something with the building models?

The mod doesn't work. I start off with a UNSC base and there is UNSC upgrades and units, but my starting squad is infection forms. I am using the steam version, so, a little help?
