Ghost of the Past Mod

Unread postby Angelspit » 14 Mar 2007, 19:09

<img src="/http://gotp.celestialheavens.com/images ... part_1.gif" align=right vspace=10 hspace=10>There is a new mod in town and, based on its scope and ambitions, it could be to Heroes V what The Wake of Gods and Equilibris are to the previous games of the series. <a href="/http://gotp.celestialheavens.com/"><b>Ghost of the Past</b></a> is based (with permission) on Vladimir Kuzmanov's <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/491">comic strip series</a>. Here is a list of planned features:

<ul>

<li>Renegades as a playable race;

<li>Drastic changes to the Necropolis;

<li>Different looks for male and female heroes;

<li>new neutrals, artifacts, heroes, spells and campaigns;

<li>additional features in menus and spell books;

<li>new legendary heroes, creatures and artifacts from the old series.

</ul>

The project is currently in alpha, with a beta in April. Congratulations to Vokial for the new Web site, and best of luck with the project. I sure cannot wait to learn more.

Good news! :)

I volunteer my English proofreading (and not only) skills for the greater good of this mod.

Wow, ambitious indeed. That is why I hope the GotP team will be able to see through the goals they set for themselves. If they do, this will vastly improve the game.

"Different looks for male and female heroes"



Heaven forbid Nival actually does that themselves.

Oh wait, I'm sorry. I forgot it takes them one month to make a new model. Nevermind the fact that they already have the base models in place and just need to assign them to the female heroes.



As for this project, I'm liking what I see so far. I probably wouldn't use it until Ubival stops with their expansions and patches because you just know something won't be compatible and then won't work, but after that I will definitely be checking this out.

This is what Nival should be working on, but no, all we get is a Heroes V that can't be modded

This could indeed be great, but I caution him with each patch new problems with the mods occur whether intentional or not. So his release may need to wait until the patching process in H-V is complete.

Indeed.

Btw, if there's anyway I can help (seeing as how tLD has volunteered his proofreading skills ;)), please tell me.

I'm good at thinking up stories and language skills.

PLEASE don't ask me to make a map though :(.

Great innitiative!



Let's hope Nival will (finally) manage to correct the major flaws with the next patches, and not leave too much of a burdain for the modders.

There had been some threads in ubi's forum concerning fixes and wishes for the next patches. It may prove useful if someone takes a look, in case they see some things they agree with.

Thanks to Moragauth for the suggestion!
