Mod Description
This mod is a union of mods on Knights of Honor. It's compiled by Gazatus but includes many many features done by other modders. Even if this pack is the sum of a lot of sleepless night and hard work, you can still feel the vanilla game experience or get a entire new game. Indeed an installer is here to help you customising your game without any compatibility issue or modding knowledge. Just Plug and Play ! Available in English, French and German !
Some truly excellent work has been put into this mod. The last edition has put on the finishing touches of this beautiful and thorough HD remake of a classic medieval strategy game. Without completely shaking the foundations of the original, this mod has in my view made the game into what it was always supposed to be, and has brought fresh new life into the game so that new players will surely enjoy this classic. This is an excellent example of modding done right, perhaps even at its best.

[Ultimate Edition - Default] * change main menu music which was so repetitive by Gazatus
- Content :
It's splited in 2 parts :
- Economy Tweaks. The Ultimate Edition installer provides you the choice between 3 mods for Economy : Ultimate Mod which aims at making the game a bit easier in early game but harder in late game and Dusk Of Glory Director Cuts which provides the most "stock" feeling, it's adding many balanced buildings without any powerful bonuses or difficulty tweaks.
- Military Tweaks. You can choose between 2 mods : Ultimate Mod which is based on History and difficulty/cost balancement.
I suggest using Ultimate Mod - Economy & Military. I've listed below everything that you might need to know :
First Part : Economy
The Ultimate Mod Economy includes Dusk of Glory 1.8 FINAL. It's 31 new buildings and 47 building upgrades by Feillyne and includes many unique tweaks by Gazatus :
- Complete economy rework - early game is less anoying. Late game is harder. Many building bonuses have been completly re-edited.
- Cutted content have been restored (new quests,new units and enhanced weakness, cost, kingdom flags and map border have been reworked)
- Boost IA for city creation - now AI will be balanced between economy and military buildings
- Rework quest system - for now there are 32 quests (list here)
- Morale, religion and happiness updated to be less trivial
- Marshal cost have been complety balanced, it costs a lot to have many marshal. It's now interresting to have a builder or a farmer - cost almost nothing and provides good bonus.
Dusk Of Glory Director Cuts includes Dusk of Glory 1.8 FINAL but remove every powerful structure which give a more "stock" feeling. No other tweaks have been included. Created by Feillyne
Second Part : Military
The Ultimate Mod includes :
- Squad size balancing - no more x30 soldier for every units squad. Horseman have been reworked to form better assault.
- Squad size multiplier : 2x ; 4x or 10x
- Overhaul units weakness and bonus - Spearman have a morale bosus vs horseman, a the opposite horseman get easily killed by hallebard... Armor and Knights bonus is more effective. It's hard to kill a heavily armored solider now.
- Morale overhauled - you can now have a game changer tactics such as focus low moral units, others will follow who retreats.
- Add 4 new units - turkic units, cuman rider, war elephant, Druzhina (russian units)
- Units are easier to make, AI will more often use elite units and will invade with more knights.
- Realistic Crusade (LOT of units and Commander AI reworked to conquer faster and longer. It's a real challenge now.) BUG - Sometimes you will get your marshal stuck in crusade mode, just lose a battle to restore.
- No change on country special units
For more detailed list of changes see changelog.
- Other :
There is a Hardcore Mod which is a multiplier of the AI gold income and an AI behavior redraw, it changes EASY / NORMAL and HARD Mode, please install this with caution, it's not fully tested and maybe unplayable !
Easy : AI get 500% Gold and is more aggressive than in regular hard - Much more Economy and Military check.
Normal : AI get 1000% gold and now create more elite units and use more fortified camp
Hard(core) : AI get 2000% gold and will make your life end.

IF THE SCREEN DON'T FIT TO YOUR SCREEN PLEASE RUN "Screen Bug Fix" UNDER YOUR APPLICATIONS SHORTCUTS (Start button > Applications > KoH) ! THANKS !
When you start the game, you'll see changes (intro, buildings, music, ... etc.)
Official patchs are included into the installer, work with Steam / Gog and DVD copy.
You assume playing over a legal copy of the game, this patch isn't a cracked version of the game, you need to have already downloaded the original content to play.
Thank you !
Thanks you man for all your work, i am coming back to knights of honor thank to you.
When going to install patches it says Knights of Honor is not installed.
it's because you are using a cracked version mate, you need to use official gog / steam or original version.
If you still encounter this bug, remove the mod, remove the game, then install again the game, launch it (select video mode, and star the game), close it, install the mod. It should work.
There are a solutionto bypass this genuine version checking but it's like cracking the game and i will not support that.

When installing the mod, what's the difference between the military overhaul by Gabri and the military expansion mod by Menssie? The description of the mod doesn't distinguish between the two. I'm trying to choose the one that doesn't include the bugged realistic crusade.
Hi there,
I just installed your mod, everything' working completely.
Just a question concerning resolutions, there is no 16/9 options in the installer.
So when i launch my game, it doesn't match with my screen.
Any advices, clue ?
Pirated the GOG version and it says it fails to install the patches 1.3 and 1.5.
Is there anything I can do?

I have a problem. I am in a kin with serbia (as Byzance). And when their king dies, I have no choice for inheretance of land :(. Can I ask you, which part of the mod removes this feature? Its sad, it was one of the best things on the game.
Hey is this legit? Gamepressure.com I am suspecting it might not be, but it saying its version v3.0.3 and it was made september 4, 2017, not quite a month after the 1 on this site. Sorry for necro
