This mod makes a number of changes to Battle Realms that expand the game while (hopefully) staying true to its spirit. Techniques/upgrades now apply to heroes as well as regular units, many heroes can gain battle gear just as regular units do (some of these are all new, others are the same as what regular units get), and each clan gets an extremely powerful unit that is appropriately expensive. Additionally, monks and ninjas get unique battle gear from each clan, and some other units gain new battle gear and innate abilities of their own.
This is the full version of the Hero Upgrades mod, which includes new sounds for the Nightvol and Hordelings. PLEASE NOTE: This is only for Battle Realms...
This is a smaller version of the mod that does not include the replacement SpeechFX.H2O. The mod still functions, but the Nightvol, Hordelings, and Shale...
This version is a quick fix that lets the AI use heroes again. Though heroes still get upgrade icons, they are no longer affected by any of the upgrades...
