Currently, we have as many as 3 different mods for new battlefields, and I decided to combine all three into one. 85 new battlefields that work everywhere in scenarios, Campaigns, etc.
Correct movement grids have been manually laid out on all battlefields; you won't be running through textures. The maps are also available in duel mode.
The maps were taken from ER_arenas, Great Duelist Pack, and New_arenas_2023.
Thanks to the map authors Zenithale, Эритроцитоз, Goodwinny and many others whose nicknames I couldn't find.
Installation: open the archive and move the h5u file into the UserMODs folder.

Thank you for the mod. I really liked the atmospheric arenas, although sometimes they don't quite fit the main landscape of the map. Also, in maps where there are castle walls with arrow icons, some of them are floating in the air instead of being on the towers.

Thank you for the mod, I really liked the atmospheric arenas, although sometimes they are generated in a way that doesn't quite fit the main landscape of the map. And another point, on maps where there are castle walls and arrows on them, some of them are floating in the air, not on the towers.

Is this on the King of the Hill arena? They are positioned correctly for me, and the screenshots also show them correctly. Maybe you have some mods installed.

Correct.

Most likely due to the updated textures.

Thank you! The algorithm for associating the battlefield and the global map is interesting, especially since these options are not always closely related. Another point: are the textures for the arenas taken from the game's resources as references? If so, where can I find higher-quality textures?

Thank you! I'm interested in the algorithm that connects the battlefield and the global map, because these options are not always similar. Secondly, are the textures for the arenas taken from the game's resources as references? If you increase the texture quality, where can you find them?

Essentially, yes, the battlefields and even the dialogue scenes are just separate maps, and the textures are taken from the game's resources. Perhaps you just need to replace the texture, but keep the path the same; the screenshots showed replaced textures.

Updated the mod. Added 5 new arenas of my own creation and 5 unused arenas that were lying in the game files. Added the Abyss to the arena pool. Added text color to all standard arenas in duel mode. Added animations for druids in the Druid Circle.

Thank you, the mod created an interesting atmosphere, but I had to remove the arena with the Castle because of it. It would be great if it were possible to choose arenas to your liking

To be honest, many of them seem overloaded. Although, perhaps they will look better with my mod, I don't know

Thank you, it's an interesting setting. Because of the mod, I had to remove the arena with the Castle. It would be great if you could choose arenas to your liking.

You could simply change the unit's height in the z coordinate; this is the height. Were there any other bugs due to the updated textures? In the map with Castles, the problem is that in the updated textures, the swordsmen's barracks are made lower than the original ones, which is why this happened.

To be honest, many of them are overloaded. Although, maybe with my mod, it will look better, I don't know.

And which ones exactly are overloaded? There seem to be a couple, but that's why they are overloaded – to create an epic feel.

Good day! As a fan of Vanilla, could you please create a separate version with only the "5 unused arenas lying in the game files"?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I wouldn't want to make such a mod just for 5 arenas. It would essentially cut out 95% of the mod. I can only suggest how to add them yourself; the arenas are called: AbandonedMine, Treasure_Dirt, Treasure_Grass, Treasure_Lava, Treasure_Sand.
Create a mod, create a folder Scenes/CombatArenas, take the files for these arenas from the xdb folder, create GameMechanics/CombatArenaTypes/CombatArenaTypes.xdb, find the names of these arenas using search in the xdb editor and do it like I did. Done.

Thank you for your answer. We will see.
