Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

Do you have any suggestions regarding adding heroes from other parts of the game to the NHF mod?
Besides Solmyr.

By the way, could you please tell me what unit number 90 is (is it a Yeti by any chance?)

You can give Sanctuary heroes to someone else (maybe they ran away from the Naga or something similar).
Or you can make a Sea Elf hero for the Elves (I don't know, but maybe you already have one – I don't want to read the whole thread).

Actually, I had an idea to create a Sea Elf hero for the Elves with a special ability that summons Hai Ro (/topic/at/442362/) – the mechanic would be like this: instead of a non-functional Yeti, a sacred Kirin from the Naga mod is placed; then, an Avatar of Death is taken and edited so that its special ability summons exactly this creature, not one from Necropolis. But as far as I understand, we cannot clone a special ability and edit the clone – meaning if we edit the Avatar, Arantir will also summon not a spectral dragon at all.

Death Knight. The Yeti is number 114. I remember there was also an unused unit in the game, number 89 - the Black Knight.

89 - base for the Death Knight (90) - Black Knight

As I understand it, if the Death Knight is unit number 90, does that mean unit number 89 is definitely free, just like the Yeti (114)? In other words, just like with the Yeti, can it also be used to add some kind of unit?

What do you mean?
slot 89 is assigned to the Black Knight
slot 90 is assigned to the Death Knight

This is a Neograd and an upgrade. There's nothing free there.

But why don't we see 89 in the game?

As I understand it, it's simply not used, which means that to some extent, it can be considered empty, and we can take advantage of this by adding a new unit.

Instead of adding, it only replaces, which isn't really desirable.
If there isn't some kind of script ID, then it's not necessarily true that the slot isn't occupied;)

On some standard maps, there are definitely Black Knights in the neutral creatures on the paths (like Key or something else, I don't remember exactly). Replacing them will change the unit.
Yetis aren't used in standard maps.

Hmm... I've seen a Death Knight in the neutral faction many times, but I've never seen a Black Knight in a game – only some files in data.pak.
Maybe we misunderstood each other – the Death Knight (texture color black and red, #90) exists in the neutral faction and is often used, but the Black Knight (texture color black, #89) is not used at all (I haven't seen it in either custom maps or standard maps). If it were used, that would be one thing, but when it exists and no one has seen it, you can say that it doesn't exist at all – please provide an example of which map you saw it in – I will specifically remove all mods and maps from the game and try to see it in the original game.
