I happen to have a question. A couple of provinces here say that a level 2 blood mages searched for sites. Where is he? Was it some kind of mercenary?

This game seems to suffer from the 1.06 worthy heroes mod. I got a couple of heroes with two heads, another one with two body slots. (so I can equip two armors at once, whoohoo!) I suggest that we update to the 1.07 version to fix those things? Oh, and please turn off the timer until we're ready in that case.

I might be wrong (and I'd be very interested to hear if I am), but I don't think you can upgrade a mod mid-game.

Well, I suppose I could overwrite the file heroes1_6.dm with the new version. Seems a bit crude though, and I'm not sure it would fix the units already in the game. And it might cause difficulties with other games using 1.6. Hmm, maybe I should ask about this on the main forum.

Well I will look into it when I get the chance, but do you reckon you can cope with the funny slots for the moment? Just both of you promise not to use them.

You can.

That is exactly what Edi suggests. Do you have 3.06 clients using the WH 1.6 mod? If not, then you should upgrade. If you do, then you should ask in the mod thread if those could run into trouble.

It's not that I want to exploit this, but rather that those slots are wrongly assigned other slots (usually misc, I believe) that one is losing this way, too.

Okay, well I've overwritten 1.6 with 1.7 and changed the version numbers then. Will you guys need to do the same thing?

Hmm, just to minimise confusion I will put my 'fixed' version of 1.6 here. Please unzip this and stick this in your mods folders.

I have another game about to transfer onto the llamaserver which is using heroes v1.6. I suppose I will get them to do the same thing.

No wait, now I understand why I got a "second" body slot. I already have overwritten the 1.6 version of the mod with the 1.7 version. Then I unequipped one of the two helmets that my hero was wearing, and I gained another body slot. That's cause all the slot are shifted. Then I unequipped the armor and gained a feet slot. Then I unequipped the boots and finally got the third misc slot that I'm supposed to be having. And yes, Xietor equipped the heroes with two helmets.

Hi lch,

Sorry for the slow start to things, I've been a bit unwell. I'm happy for you to have three turns preparation. Do you want to let me know a turn number when officially end the non-aggression pact?

Sorry guys, I've decided I have to switch back to Worthy Heroes 1.6. See the Alpaca post if you're interested. Having clashing versions of the mod led to a startlingly different alternate future (battle reports which were in fact a great victory for one side looked like a crushing defeat).

I'll attach the original heroes1_6.dm. Sorry about this.

lch, I've concluded that I can't really update mods mid-game, because the players will all then need to upgrade too, which will propagate problems to all the other games they're in. Any thoughts on the matter?
