Still need to take a look at heroes to see what adjustments need to be done.
Manual still needs Snow Demon Desription, mist form and wolf form. Weapon Desription and armor desription.
Not sure how to solve the Ermor problem. Hope it's a bug that will be solved soon.

Is there some specific spell you are going for with giving the Black Rose Lord death 2?

As is, they aren't very effective leaders of the guard with their lack of an ability to bless them. Perhaps they should be given holy?
Perhaps a death spell could be modded in which works like bless?

[Maraxus]

I like the changes.

I also agree that making the Black Rose capitol only is reasonable both mechanicaly as they are very strong and from the flavor aspect. (They are the elite guard of the high council, they are basicly supposed to be where the high council is)

However, by now, the number of your national troops outside the capitol is really low. Maybe you would want to add another one?

...Like ... a low vampire. Maybe one, who was infected by vampirism without following the rules or something ...
With only an ordenary Greatsword and maybe full chain armor + Half Helmet (Prot 17). (Moreover the att/def somewhere in the middle between Black Rose Guardians and ordenary humans and maybe not holy, then they should make good everywhere recruitable vampires without feeling to diffrent)

Edit: Oh, I just saw, that you reduced the Back Rose armor protection allready ... well, in that case the low vampires armor should be reduced, too.

That wouldn't be hard at all.

You could also give them onebattlespell divine blessing, or bless, or whatever.

Hey again guys,

Thilock, I copied the files in the UI folder to the dominions 3 folder in my computer with all the stuff in it for the game. It changed the bars that used to be brown to sort of marble (black run through with white). The mod itself still won't work because it can't find the flag for it.

(This was just tried with the latest version .82)

[Thilock_Dominus]

I don't know what your problem is. You're the only one reported it. It might be some kind of weird Vista bug

Try change the path of the flag in the .dm file or rename the flag etc.
It's in Nosophoros.dm line 3175
#flag "./Nosophoros/flag/flag.tga"

What about other mods, can you get them to work?

[XLegend]

Yes I've had no trouble with any other mod I've ever downloaded. The only difference that I can tell between this mod and every other one is first the UI folder, and that the nosophoros folder (not the UI) has a bunch of other folders in it, like banner, commanders, flag, etc, Where as every other mods folder just contains
e.g Armored Lowblood 1.tga, Armored Lowblood1a.tga (Nephilim mod)

it just lists seemingly everything in the mod and then .tga and yours has folders and such.
