Dirael received an additional spell, Hive Transfer.

Wow, can you elaborate? How does it work (let's say I have a guess), and how is it implemented (I have no idea)?

This is a standard spell.

Summon Hive - also known as Hive Transfer.

Materializes a wasp hive at the selected location on the battlefield. At the beginning of its turn, the wasp hive attacks the nearest enemy unit. This will continue until the end of the battle or until the hive is destroyed. The hive will not attack undead, elementals, or mechanical creatures. The hive casts the Wasp Swarm spell at the Expert level. When Wasp Swarm is cast, the mana of the hero who summoned the hive is consumed. Defense = 1*[Hero Level]. Immune to magic.
Effect at different levels:
[None]: Health=10, Initiative=2+0.25*SP
[Basic]: Health=25, Initiative=5+0.25*SP
[Advanced]: Health=50, Initiative=5+0.25*SP
[Expert]: Health=100, Initiative=10+0.25*SP

Ah, it's just a different translation... I'm used to "Summon Hornet's Nest." Regarding the relocation – I've decided that it should be a separate spell specifically for changing the location of the nest for less mana/with a smaller shift on the initiative scale. Okay, then, everything is clear.

It's completely inappropriate to poke someone who's twice your age!

I wasn't poking... I was just hinting that we're waiting for something new from you.

Well, whether it's something completely new or not, it depends on your perspective, but here are two icons of new heroes!



Rann

According to his battle companions, Rann is more famous in his homeland for his boasting than for his military exploits. Just a few mugs of good beer are enough for the tipsy dwarf to start telling all sorts of tall tales, causing only condescending smiles from the listeners. However, Rann himself is not at all embarrassed by this, since outside of Grimheim, his gift of eloquence comes in handy. Depending on the situation, the cunning dwarf chooses armor and weapons in such a way as to make the best impression on the client, thereby increasing his chances of a worthy reward.



Oyrkhin

Oyrkhin prefers to spend most of her free time in the arena, honing her combat skills in fierce duels with the strongest orc warriors. It is said that she received a strong body and extraordinary strength as a gift from Mother Earth, and a flexible mind from Father Sky. This is the only way to explain how the warrior managed to defeat all her opponents and become the leader of her tribe. Even without being a shaman, she managed to gain the respect of the leaders of many orcish tribes of Ranaar. In her fierce battle cries on the battlefield, the orcs hear the voices of their ancestors, whose invisible presence fills their hearts with courage and the will to win.

ahaha, cunning!

Is there an English version of NHF? I don't want to reinstall the entire game and look for translations of already installed mods just for one mod.
If not, I can translate all the texts, but only if someone tells me where they are located.

We would be very grateful for the work done.
psatkha indicated where the texts are located.

I'll repeat:
In the \text\ folder - everything related to the game.
In the \MapObjects\ folder - everything related to the new heroes (in the folders of the factions and the heroes themselves).
The description files are in the mod archive.

If necessary, I am ready to provide the texts separately, after deleting all non-*.txt files in a copy of the mod.

You have a typo in Kiria's biography - "стремилася" instead of "стремилась".

Thank you. Some hints are displayed through the Cyrillic character table. It's a bit more complicated here... In principle, everything can be resolved.

The task now is to create a battle-ready Academy unit.
Simply adding parameters isn't very interesting.
I'm thinking about what special ability to give it.

Combat-oriented, meaning like a warrior with minimal magic?

A warrior type, meaning strong in combat and with minimal magic?

Yeah. But capable.

Yeah, but a capable one.

For example, "Desert Bandit" - After each victory, the hero receives N movement points, and for every 3 levels, his defense and attack increase by 1.

The equivalent of "Path of War" already exists for a hero from the "Sylvan" faction.

Essentially, to create a warrior, you need to increase attack, luck, indirectly initiative, and defense. And defense will only help the mage stand longer while the hero casts spells.

Added 2 minutes later
And it should be done in a way that avoids repetition.

The simplest thing to do is to transfer spellcasting into attack. But that would look very bad.
