RTF (replace towns with framework) is a global modification for Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East, replacing all towns in the game.

Some people will find it more convenient to follow the mod on VK, so I've set up a group

>>>DOWNLOAD<<<

A full conceptual rework of the factions is currently underway; new units will be released as they are completed, and then assembled into factions.

>>>>ALL COMPLETED UNITS (list and links)<<<<

Links to the world and faction descriptions will be posted here as they are ready; they will also contain various ideas, possible changes, and events that have significantly affected the factions.

I've come to the conclusion that creating an entirely new world is the best solution. Existing factions can be integrated into the new lore, and then gradually reworked.
I apologize to everyone who wants to raise Ashan from its knees. I posted the poll because I was too lazy to think)))) I don't know how to remove the poll; it's a monument to my tyranny and disregard for the audience.

Currently, the mod uses resources from:

Heads, legs, and textures for the Sea Tyrants are taken from the mod Cthulhoids- Mihail Monsters and Animals with the author's permission... though I got it a very long time ago...

In creating this mod, resources from the games M&MH7, M&MH6, and Dark Messiah of Might & Magic were used.
The authors of these resources are members of the development teams of the aforementioned games; unfortunately, I cannot name exact names.
I am in no way trying to claim someone else's work, and I sincerely hope
that using these resources in this way will not offend any of their creators.
Quite the opposite, it can be seen as a form of recognition —
fans of the series really like the characters you created, and they want to see them in another game of the series as well.

Resources from the games M&MH7, M&MH6, and Dark Messiah were ported to HoM&M5 by me — Zahar0z
Visual effects in the mod were made by Frozensoul

Special thanks to Dragonlor (Mikhail Cherkasov) for help with painting, Ivan Sashin and Anton Knyazev for help with porting models

Is this mod available in h5u or pak format?
I don't understand how to install it.

And another question - how do I install the mod with the dark dwarves?
I put it in the data folder, but nothing happened.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30806408/Heroes5/Towns/TheDamned/data/index.htm
I found it here.

Well, someone took creatures from NCF and turned them into something like a new faction! :smile04:

Is this mod available in h5u or pak format?

Just rename the .zip file to .pak.

Screenshots of the Dark Dwarfs


The mod is designed so that in campaigns and some maps, the Dwarfs have mage skills, but on other maps, they replace the Demons.
The same applies to the Elementals; they replace the mages, but after I changed the creatures, they stopped being summoned through portals, so I had to give them the destructive magic skill.

Goddess/God: Malassa and Arkat Country: Dark Empire Capital: Chaga-Dal, Tor-Gortol (old capital) Symbol: Arkat/Blazing Anvil/Hammer/Flaming Spear Main colors: Purple, Red Ruler: Dark Emperor Dragor (old emperor, died in his fortress during the cataclysm) Main magic: Fire and Water Class: Dungeon Lord Racial skill: Artifact Master Army: 1. Troglodytes/Chthonians/Hell Troglodytes (basic/basic) 2. Wolf Riders/Mountain Archers/Grenadiers (basic/basic) 3. Pikemen/Dark Guards/Brutes (basic/basic) 4. Goat Riders/Mountain Riders/War Riders (basic/basic) 5. Malassa's Apprentices/Dark Adepts/Fire Adepts (basic/basic, caster) 6. Faceless Ones/Puppet Masters/Faceless Assassins (basic/basic, flyer) 7. Giants/Soulless/Obsidian Giants (basic/basic) Allies: 1. The Free Cities of the East are the Dark Empire's main trading partners; it is here that the dwarves sell captured orcs, but they have no trade relations with Hammerfall and Foster's Limit because the orcs live here freely and are full citizens. Stonehelm is the dwarves' main ally; ships laden with slaves arrive here, which are then resold at the Vradak Crossroads to the Holy Empire for many hundreds of years. The second most important partner is Stormcliff; the Dark Empire cannot send ships there, but the Flame of Vengeance clan trades with it directly and even has underground passages leading straight there. In difficult times, the Dark Empire helped the people with military support. During the expansion of the Griffin Empire, when Rutger and Vittorio captured Stonehelm, the Vradak Crossroads, and Stormcliff, and Deidra, with her inquisition, eradicated the faith in Ilat, the dwarves supported the rebels with weapons, and later sent twenty ships with axemen and five battalions of cavalry to Stormcliff. Deidra then died, and the rest were able to escape; since then, imperial troops have not even ventured east. In addition, the dwarves rescued people from the siege of Stormcliff during the Second Orcish War. 2. The Light Elves (elves who worship Elrath live in the vastness of Ranaar) have always treated the dwarves neutrally, and during the First Orcish War, they led the dwarves south and helped them defend themselves against the orcs; during the Second Orcish War, the dwarves helped the elves defend themselves against the horde. 3. The Light Dwarves of Ostgard concluded a military and trade alliance with the Flame of Vengeance clan. 4. The Nagas of Shanria allied with the dwarves after another declaration of independence from the Lotus Empire. Main historical events: 5 AS (After Sundering) - the exile of the mercenary guild "Malassa's Shadow" and the beginning of the hunt for followers of darkness. 6 AS - the conclusion of an alliance between the dwarves and the spirits of the void, the proclamation of the leader of the mercenaries as the first chieftain of the dark dwarves, and the emergence of the dark dwarves as a race. 247 AS - the uprising of the dark dwarves and their flight to the southern dungeons. 263 AS - the resettlement of the dark dwarves throughout Ranaar, the creation of five clans. 504 AS - the end of the orcish uprising in the empire, the beginning of the war of the dark dwarves with the horde. 506 AS - the creation of the Dark Empire and the resettlement of the dwarves to the south. 702 AS - due to the alliance of dark elves and demon worshipers, the Faceless Ones can no longer feel safe in Igg-Shail, and therefore, part of the Faceless Ones joins the Dark Empire. ? AS - The capture of religious power in Grimheim by Hangvul, the appearance of Arkat to the dark dwarves, the establishment of a new state flag and religion. ? AS - The Year of the Dusty Fields caused a mass migration of orcs to new lands; seven tribes led by Goshak swept across the western border of the Dark Empire like a hurricane. !!A REAL EVENT ON ASHAN, MENTIONED IN THE BIOGRAPHY OF GOSHAK!! 948 AS - the appearance of the first khan of all the orcs of the east (Kurak the Second), the Second Orcish War

And will your lizards replace some of the units? Or will they be from the Stronghold faction, but you won't be able to recruit them anywhere? ------------------ I'm working on a translation for the болотники (Bog Fighters) :smile33:

I think it would be possible to rework the old mod for the Stronghold faction, simply by adding new creatures and removing old ones. The question is, what would be the best approach for the new creatures: should we aim for maximum similarity to the original version with wyverns and smaller birds instead of flying snakes?

God: Absent
Empire/Kingdom: ?
Capital: ?
Symbol: Snake
Main colors: Green
Ruler: ?
Main magic: ?
Class: Beastmaster
Racial skill: Blood Fury
Army:
1. Cowardly Gnolls/Berserk Gnolls/Marauder Gnolls (m/m)
2. Lizard Archers/Lizard Scouts/Lizard Hunters (m/m)
3. Raiders/Ravagers/??? (m/m)
4. Shamans (m/m, caster)
5. Basilisks/Great Basilisks/Salamanders (m/m)
6. Coatls (m/m, flyer)
7. Earth Dragons/Stone Dragons/Acid Dragons (m/m)

yes, I've seen Royal Vassals, and I'd probably agree that they should be given to the Lizards. If you move the Shamans, they'll need a different head.

I recognize my old faceless ones ) but I have some unreleased ones with new sounds and effects.

Added 5 minutes later
by the way, you can create a race of mages without golems but with beastmen.
