Could you please tell me how to add NCF creatures to the map editor? I'm using EWA.

EWA is just a collection of mods, and some of them are said to be incompatible. NCF is one of those mods. It's best to simply install the new version on top of the old one. After that, the creatures should appear.
Absolutely correct! :smile03:

Thanks, I'll try it.

If you're adding new creatures on top of existing ones, you also need to define the spawn rates, both generally and per level. Otherwise, only the creatures that were added on top will spawn. You might be able to place them statically on maps, but random spawning will be excluded.

Why would that be the case? If the spawn is random, then any creature should be generated on the map! :cool:

I hope this isn't a completely dead topic, but maybe someone will take it on, as I doubt I'll be able to do it myself. Could anyone create a new faction? There's a game called The Battle For Middle-Earth, which has a lot of different creature models and animations, which would also work well for Heroes. There's no need to come up with names and attributes. There are plenty of orc creatures for all levels, as well as heroes. Maybe there will be anyone willing to take on all of this?

There are many models, but is there a way to extract at least the geometry of the models?!

Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in this area. It seems that all the files of that game are located in a file with the .BIG extension. I once extracted the soundtracks from it. The models are very similar to the creature models in Heroes, and the animations are too. But whether they will be suitable for this game, I honestly can't say.
If possible, try to take a screenshot of the contents of the .big file in that converter (extractor) that you used to extract the sound ;)

Here's something I noticed recently.
Some creatures have a rather strange weekly growth rate. Some creatures have a low growth rate, while similar creatures (and those comparable in strength) have a high growth rate.
For example:
Enforcers - growth rate of 5, cost 280
Elven Scouts - growth rate of 10, cost 160.
These are roughly equivalent, with the Scouts even being slightly stronger.
Why is this the case?
