Children of Storm

[Bullett]

I've been reading an awful lot about the 'Children of Storm' mod and how great it is. What does it change exactly, how do I find and install it, and does it substantially alter the way FE:LH works? Is there any reason NOT to try it?

Why do you have to register an account to download the mod? F*ck that.

I wish the workshop was in fallen enchantress, it would make the mod life for much easier for it

Due to the amounts of downloads I've had it removed from every service I tried (mediafire, dropbox, rapidshare and on). Nexus offers a quick download that I don't have to pay for, and the downloader doesn't have to pay for.

If you know of a similar service that doesn't mind 20gb+ downloads per day that is free for uploader, downloader and doesn't require registration let me know.

Registering to get a free download of this quality is nothing. People ought to moan less and express a little grattitude to the devs imo.

I tried Children of Storm following Asmodeus suggestions, and I am VERY impressed with it. Not only does it add an enormous quantity of new units, items, quests, events and more to the game - all of these are also on par with, perhaps even better than, the quality of StarDock's own creations. The new factions are completely unique and even utilize new mechanics not seen in the base game.

I'd *strongly* suggest everybody to try it out! It's basically the quality of a paid expansion pack, but for free. Having to register a free account with a non-intrusive website like Nexusmods is a small price to pay to be able to play this.

I have one question, myself:

引用自 rbaker78：

Children of the Storm is a Followup to the Stormwind mod from base FE. It essentially changes the factions into more traditional fantasy races.

Actually, it doesn't change the existing factions; it adds all new factions. I play with both the vanilla and the Children of the Storm factions enabled.

For me, it has replaced the original factions with the new ones. Did I mess something up with the installation, or have you done something yourself to add the original ones back in?

[warhameron]

You can change that in opponent window (add/remove opponents also you can change your faction ? (but im not sure for 100%). For better game play on expert (AI play much smarter and some fight are truely epic=game on expert is for veteran players!)

[BlackSmokeDMax]

I think to keep the regular Sovereigns, just don't install the "ChildrenOfStorm_NoVanillaSov" module. Or possibly just delete that from the "Documents/My Games/LegendaryHeroes/Mods" directory.

Heavenfall would have to confirm that, but I think that is how it worked back in Stormworld for FE.

[Bullett]

I can't remember which version I installed, but it kept all the old Sovereigns and added the new ones. Everythings works quite well... it's a fine piece of work!

hey the mod is not working for me , i copied the folders to the mod folder but it dosnt show in game. I clicked the Use mods option too.

[warhameron]

Do you restarted game ?

Installation

To install this mod, a 64-bit capable computer with at least 4GB memory is recommended.

If you are running into problems with missing graphics (missing models, missing forests, missing swamps) run the game as administrator once after installing the mod.

1. To install the Children of Storm mod, extract all the folders to Documents/My Games/LegendaryHeroes/Mods
2. Take the files in /ChildrenOfStorm_TacticalMaps/ and move them to Documents/My Games/LegendaryHeroes/Maps/TacticalMaps
3. Make sure that you turn on "Use Mods" in the in-game Options menu.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you only want some parts of the mod, read the following:
Required folders are always required, you should always extract those.
Required folders are:
- /Gfx/
- /A_LHLIB_UnitStat_BG_v*/
- /ChildrenofStorm_Shared/

Optional folders are not required, but contain the actual content of the game. You can choose any of these folders that you want and ignore the others. If you extract no Optional folders, your game will play like Children of Storm was not installed.
Optional folders are:
- /ChildrenOfStorm_Factions/ (new fantasy factions)
- /ChildrenOfStorm_Champions/ (new fantasy champions)
- /ChildrenOfStorm_Monsters/ (new monsters and world resources with recruitable monsters)
- /ChildrenOfStorm_NoVanillaSov/ (removes the vanilla sovs from the game, such as Relias)
- /ChildrenOfStorm_Rivermod/ (new fantasy rivers and stamps containing burning lands and arctic terrain)
- /ChildrenOfStorm_TacticalMaps/ (various new tactical maps used in different scenarios - see install instructions 2.)

I put the mod files in the right folder, but how do I actually start the mod? Or is it integrated in the main game without specifically choosing it just by being in the mods folder and clicking on "use mods" in the options? I would have liked to see a "mods" button that loads certain mods...or am I missing something?

[BlackSmokeDMax]

As you suspected, yes merely placiing the mod in the mods directory with mods turned on enables everything. At the most if you may have to restart once you do turn mods on.

There was a mod manager for FE, but that was community made, don't know if it ever got updated for LH, perhaps it even works without modification, not sure.

[darrell999]

Thanks for the confirmation. I was hoping for something like Civ does, where it actually has a menu item called mods and you load the one you want.

[James_C]

Okay, so I am having the same issue as darrell999. I followed the instructions of the Readme foldier and nothing has changed in my game at all. None of the new factions appear, nore do I see any changes after starting the game.

2. Take the files in /ChildrenOfStorm_TacticalMaps/ and move them to Documents/My Games/LegendaryHeroes/Maps/TacticalMaps (This is where everything goes or at least so it says)

However, my maps folder that you add the downloaded maps too was in Games/LegendaryHeroes/Data/Maps/TacticalMaps, not the location indicated above. Does the Mods folder have to be in the Data folder as well?

If not, why is this mod not functioning?

Don't forget to go to game options and check the box to enable mods.
