This mod/DLC addresses some of the balance issues with the original game, and introduces some new features. It brings the balance a bit closer to Cold Sunrise, but does not copy it. The main motivation was to fix economy gaps, hero behavior and obvious bugs.

Overall targeted improvement:
- Make heroes more responsive and lively, like in Majesty 1.
- Add variety in game, such that every hero would be interesting to hire.
- Heroes are more likely to take initiative when encountering enemy buildings and units.
- Make heroes more representative of their classic medieval fantasy archetypes.
- Heros are better balanced, hopefully your games will get away from being a typical paladin/helia/elf rush.
- Improve the cash flows.
- Make the game easier.
- Make the game more of a sim and less of an RTS.

This mod only works with the DLC fix. Install the DLC fix first!

Very fun mod, a perfect time for me to get back at single missions.

Very worried about the lack of new maps though, but this mod will let me have some fun with the existing maps.

Looking forward to see what you do next.
 
Is it possible to have both versions installed (on Steam) at the same time?

Edit: (By both versions, I mean the patch version and the original version)

How can I tell if the mod install worked? I did as you said (after installing the DLC fix) but i'm not really noticing much difference in gameplay. It works on the campaign right?
 
Yes. Your heroes should be spending much more time exploring on their own now and wandering much farther. Another noticeable change - mages now run away when at 50% health. You can verify that yourself. Oh, another easy way to spot the changes - build times were decreased. Instead of finishing a guild on day 3-4 you should be finishing it on day 2-3.
 
Yes, as unfortunately as it may sound, this is an engine bug, I cannot fix it from gameplay scripts :\ Looks like regeneration potion was disabled simply because devs did not fully implement its effects.
