Hello everybody,
After a long time of silence, I am back again and I am back with good news.
During the last months, I spent my limited spare time to make this mod playable and enjoyable again -I am sure you all remember the balancing problems caused by the update to DH 1.04 making this mod quite ahistorical and unenjoyable.
Finally it is time to release a new version of Edge of Darkness.
Instead of just copy/paste the content from the older version, I started from scratch, so do not wonder that some content is not used.
As always this mod is based on Fernando Torres' World in Flames II. But what is different to World in Flames?

Spend hours on balancing in order to improve historical accuracy
I had a lot of test-runs and therefore the amount of bugs will be quite low, but there's never a guarantee, so if you find a bug or have an idea how to improve the mod, I am looking forward to your feedback and will do my utmost to implement your ideas/improvements.
Last, but not least, here's the link:
