    Great mod, good concept, my only gripe is that it make lower difficulties really easy by just spamming skeletons to get your medals early on. I will note I don't have a problem with it just I sort of lost enjoyment with things. Also could you consider a new portrait something based on Carmilla because as it stands Lucinde and looks WAY too much like her follower the Acolyte turned Vampire. Other then that though this is a 10 out of 10 mod, but way more suited for a higher difficulty. Also don't try and go for the achievement against the final boss without a spellbook as always if you are going with mage builds. Save that achievement for if you are playing Neoline or Bagyr

    Hi, want to play this mod in russian version, but there is no description in "miasm" and "skeleton army", also in dark onyx. If I play in english everything is ok.

      Тебе не повезло? Не слишком ли много ты хочешь от авторов модификаций?

      при чём здесь словарь? я по-английски вполне могу читать и писать, проблема у меня другого рода. ещё раз повторю: хватить отвечать херню, если ничего дельного посоветовать не можешь

      Hello there,

      I won't be able to make this mod compatible with Russian since I don't have time and can't speak the language.
      If you're into modding yourself, take a look at these files:

      1. sessions\darkside\mods\Lucinde De Morton\loc_ses_eng\eng_items.lng
      I added these lines:
      itm_onyx_diamond_name=Onyx Diamond
      itm_onyx_diamond_taken=^?^
      itm_onyx_diamond_minfo=^?^
      itm_onyx_diamond_mhint=^?^
      itm_onyx_diamond_info=^?^The Onyx Diamond draws energy from the earth, granting bonus to mana restoration outside of battle. <br>
      itm_onyx_diamond_hint=^?^The Onyx Diamond <br>100% Mana restoration


      2. sessions\darkside\mods\Lucinde De Morton\loc_ses_eng\eng_spells.lng
      I added these lines:
      //MODDED: New spell: Miasmic Burn
      spell_mass_leech_name=Miasmic Burn
      SN_mass_leech=^spells_tN^
      spell_mass_leech_header=^spells_tC^
      spell_mass_leech_small=
      spell_mass_leech_desc=A living miasma envelops a huge area on the battlefield. The initial damage is minimal, while the burning per turn devours even the mightiest troops. Miasmic Burn does not affect allied units.
      spell_mass_leech_text_1=^spells_tSpell^Initial damage: [CS27_DamageF] <br>Health burning: [CS27_Epower].
      spell_mass_leech_text_2=^spells_tSpell^Initial damage: [CS27_DamageF] <br>Health burning: [CS27_Epower].
      spell_mass_leech_text_3=^spells_tSpell^Initial damage: [CS27_DamageF] <br>Health burning: [CS27_Epower].
      spell_mass_leech_hint=^spells_tEnew^

      And also:
      //MODDED: Skeleton Army
      spell_skeleton_army_name=Skeleton Army
      SN_skeleton_army=^spells_tN^
      spell_skeleton_army_header=^spells_tC^
      spell_skeleton_army_small=Raise 3 stacks of skeletons with target effect to fight by your side.
      spell_skeleton_army_desc=From the spirit world, you raise three platoons of skeleton warriors, taunting to be targeted. Each level increases the army strength and target spell duration.
      spell_skeleton_army_text_1=^spells_tSpell^Creature strength: [OS26_Power].<br>Troop’s leadership: [OS26_Lead].
      spell_skeleton_army_text_2=^spells_tSpell^Creature strength: [OS26_Power].<br>Troop’s leadership: [OS26_Lead].
      spell_skeleton_army_text_3=^spells_tSpell^Creature strength: [OS26_Power].<br>Troop’s leadership: [OS26_Lead].
      spell_skeleton_army_hint=^spells_tEnew^

      Since you're creating a mod for the Russian version, you probably need to extract loc_ses_rus from the archive, edit the corresponding files above, and put it on the mod folder (so it has both loc_ses_eng and loc_ses_rus).
      I can't remember what archive it was to extract from, since it's been a very long time, but a modding guide should point you to the right direction.

    A bit late to ask, but, what method and tools you used to edit the sprites?


    I feel that all King's Bounty series lacks of a more feminine presence, and your mod come as a balm to my gameplay, and I'm trying to find a way to edit the .atom by myself to create more female characters, but I don't find much help in the web about this.

    She's a great addition to the game, I love her....
    Goo job and congratulations.

      Hello syonnetundragon,

      Thanks for the comment. I remember that I did not edit the .atom, but rather, replaced the hero's model with the female vampire model. To give her a more unique look, matching the female vampire illustration, I did edit the texture with photoshop. Looking forward to what you would create for the game!

    Hello. I love this mode. It makes a great game a bit gayer. Which is cool. I played a bit even though I have a bug, but then it started to spoil the fun. I have a not-steam version of the game, maybe it's important. All the icons and portraits are messed up and don't appear correctly. Only Lucinde is actually ok.

      Yes! I only have the Steam version so my mod is based on that. Which version are you using? Is it GoG?
      Another possibility is that mine is the Premium editition (free upgrade on Steam), while yours is Standard?

    Great mod. Seems a bit more powerful than the other heroes, but I haven't played that far so idk.

    Great mod. I toyed a bit with model swap from the succubus into the warrior/mage story, but yours is much more well done that anything I did.

    However, just a minor grip, you said that the mod changed allusion to gender in the story, however, I got called "messire" in the first dialogue and from the witch right after. Did I fail somewhere?

      I remembered deciding not to change that word. I thought it could refer to both male and female, and changing it to "my lady" doesn't have the same mood and tone as "sire". Maybe I'm wrong :)

    Thank you for this mod! I will be sure to download it once I reinstall the Dark Side. Alas, I have not been able to play it after some Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate updates by Microsoft (in the past I was able to play it without issues, but in the last year or so MS pushed a bunch of updates that resulted in the problem). The problem is that some sounds are missing or are extremely muffled killing the joy of the game. I mean, in particular, combat sounds (such as imps cackling, demonesse's whips cracking, etc.) and also weird or missing footsteps and so on.

    So I was wondering if you can figure it out. I bought the game on GOG, and their support said it was related to Windows updates and they could not help me. So far, I have tried every suggestion I could find but to no avail. I love this game. Would love to play it with your mod. Any chance you can help me (and others)?

    Thanks in advance,

      Sorry to hear about your sound problem :( Unfortunately, I've been using Windows 10 for a long time so I have no idea about the recent Windows 7 update. I wish you find a solution to your problem soon.

      Thank you for your reply and your words of encouragement. Perhaps someone else then. I would really love to replay this game once more.

      And welcome to the Nexus community

      I think ms stopped support for Windows 7
      I suggest you to migrate to windows 10
      Which is free if you have original windows 7

      They have not stopped supporting Windows 7 and they won't for at least the next 5 years or even longer as corporations have just barely finished migrating to Windows 7 :o) As for Windows 10, there's enough spying and privacy violations in our lives as it is. I don't need a snooping OS on my PC as well.

      I think it was Windows XP's support that ended in 2014.
      https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/end-of-xp-support

      Windows 7 support will continue until January 2020.
