Posts from Adding custom heroes without replacing the default ones.

I want to add my own hero with his PERSONAL skill (taken, for example, from another faction – let's say, adding a Guardian Angel from Humans to a Union hero). Can I do this without replacing the standard heroes?

You can, but you'll have to study NHF!

So, is it necessary to create a mod that adds them to the game data?
And could you provide an algorithm for creating a hero, please?

Unfortunately, this isn't my forte... just poke around there... it's not that complicated (except for heroes on scripts, but you need to look at the ones in NHF_E - most of them don't use scripts), but it will take a lot of time and patience!

I apologize, what is NHF_E?

NHF_E

What does E mean?
I know what NCF is...

I want to add my own hero with his PERSONAL skill (taken, for example, from another faction – let's say, adding the Guardian Angel ability from Humans to a Union hero). Can I do this without replacing the standard heroes?

Yes, no problem.
1) Where should I add it? Only to a specific map or for all maps with the mod?
I will have to modify each map where he might appear.
2) The easiest way is to download and analyze this mod. It will be more difficult to analyze NHF. This mod already modifies all standard maps.
3) Guardian Angel can be added to any hero, but it will only work if the hero has at least basic Light skills.

In this post: /topic/at/952579/ esteemed Gus explained everything very clearly – perhaps it will help you :)
