Posts from Epic War Age (EWA) - Adapted Mod Collection

Yes, thank you :) You should mention this in the header. And one of the images in the header isn't loading (between image 1 and 3).

What I meant was that it would be good to add information that these mods aren't included in EWA, so those who were looking at the thumbnails wouldn't have to search for the answer on page 36.

I didn't understand why the NHF patcher file needs to be placed in the folder with EWA (and where exactly to place it, whether to put only the file or also the folder that came with it).

Can you tell me what specific changes are in the executable?

By the way, could you include the mod for Nagas and allow users to choose whether or not to install it through the launcher? The Nagas are a faction that exists within the game's lore, and in principle, this mod is the only one among the city replacement mods that can be reasonably used in a compilation (IMHO).

Are there any other mods with altered creature visuals that aren't included in EWA?

It's loading now. I don't see this image on my PC. Please check.

Please carefully review the first page of this thread – it contains detailed information about everything.

Main changes:

- visual and graphical changes
- interface changes
- text and informational changes
- balance
- musical accompaniment
- official and unofficial campaigns, scenarios, and maps
- new Heroes and neutral creatures.
- new objects
- map creation, map editor, map scripting kit
- programs, utilities, plugins, libraries, manuals
- technical changes and patches

I can't seem to find it; what are the changes made to the exe file?

The Epic War Age team expresses its gratitude and appreciation to:
-the authors whose mods were included in the compilation,
-the NCF project team,
-the map creators,
-the translators,
-and everyone who participated in testing the compilation!
The nicknames (logins) of all authors are listed on the first page of the discussion thread, at the end of the header. You can also find information about all authors in the launcher (tab: Authors)

VeryDobro3D, the EWA compilation does not change the exe files because we are not the developers of the game itself, and we do not have the source code.
All we can do is influence the game using mods and fixes.
Of course, we are trying to get the source code for the game, but so far without success.

The screenshot in the header shows a window (presumably the settings).
There is an item called "modify the core exe," which means it has been modified after all.

No, it still won't load.

Here is a link to the image that won't load... It won't even load on Radikal.

The mods included in the collection essentially change the game's data (parameters), which leads to a partial change in the game, but they do not change the source code of the game itself. You could say they modify the core without changing the code.

Check again - it has been deleted.

Perhaps, that's all.

I appreciate your optimism, Dyrman, but perhaps not everything will be implemented. But regarding new artifacts, yes, they have already started implementing that.

Perhaps, everything.

VeryDobro3D, these changes are listed on the first page (in the header). Check the patch versions, starting with 2.5

Attention! For those who are not aware. You can see all the authors of the modification not only in the launcher, but also, with pleasant music, in the Main menu of the game (see the Authors option).

@VeryDobro3D, The "exe" file contains at least a modification to increase the number of neutral creatures; there will probably also be artifacts. Also, the "exe" file has been adapted for 64-bit systems (increased memory allocation). Possibly, that's all.

It is better to ask this directly to the assembly developer. atlant108, unfortunately, is not familiar with all the changes, as he is not specifically involved in the development.

@atlant108, to modify the "exe" file, you do not necessarily need the source code; you can break it down using hex editors.
