Please note that this version has been replaced by the New Horizons mod v. 14.1228, which can be downloaded HERE.

I would like to keep this thread for releases only. Please don't post comments or anything else here.

After over a month of hard work, here it is:

Eador Genesis New Horizons mod v14.0920 English v2.0

Please go down to the next post to also download the latest patch.

Download the ZIP-archives and unpack them. If you have in fact reached 100% download, but can't seem to find the file in your download folder,
see if there's a file in it with a name that looks something like "Unconfirmed***.crdownload" and simply rename that to Eador.zip or Eador_patch.zip or whatever.

Before installing the mod, make a backup of your vanilla or previously modded game folder, just in case.
Copy the unpacked files and folders into your existing Eador game folder, first the main mod, then the patch. The vanilla version needs to be 1.05.1.
Start the game as usual and enjoy the best 4x game ever made!

IMPORTANT!
In order for the mod to work properly, you must start a new game. Loading an old saved game can seem okay at first, but can have unwanted side effects later on.
If you are already in the middle of a campaign and would like to continue with it, install the New Horizons mod while in the Astral in between shards, and all will probably be fine (no guarantees though).

This release should be free of any major bugs by now, although you never know.
It's been tested quite a bit, but this has all been a labour of love, so don't expect it to work 100%.
It will most probably work absolutely fine, but small bugs might still be there.
If you encounter errors that are not language-based, but text or game related, feel free to report them in this separate thread:

BUG REPORTING THREAD NEW HORIZONS v14.0920 ENG v2.0

Language-based errors, related to spelling and grammar, missing characters and term suggestions,
are not crucial and will slowly be corrected by me in subsequent versions as I discover them while playing.
If they disturb you however, feel free to report them in the original ongoing translation thread, in which you can also make other comments:

ORIGINAL TRANSLATION THREAD

For those of you who are completely new to the New Horizons project, browse this forum, with the help of Google translate if needed, to see how much effort and creativity has gone into it. Here's a brief overview of all the features and improvements that have been created since its very first steps over 2 years ago, up until the latest English release v1.5 of mod v13.04Z (18 months ago):

- Unit promotions (all castle units, except for the ".gs-timer").forEach(n=>{let o=n.textContent.trim().match(/^(\d+)[.-](\d+)[.-](\d+)\s+(\d+):(\d+)$/) units have a chance to be upgraded to stronger and better ones. All the promotions are only inside one tier)
- Tactical improvements, since there are a lot of new abilities, spells and units AI will surprise you with new combinations of challenging enemies.
- All mercenaries are now ,n.innerHTML=`Дедлайн через ${d} ${1==d?"день":d>1&&d<5?"дня":"дней"} ${t(~~(s%864e5/36e5))}:${t(~~(.5 unit s(,n.innerHTML=`Дедлайн через ${d} ${1==d?"день":d>1&&d<5?"дня":"дней"} ${t(~~(s%864e5/36e5))}:${t(~~( promotions), so you have a choice to either buy a powerful and costly unit or an army of weaker ones.
- Balance changes to hero skills
- Hero class changes
- 139 new units (including castle units, all kinds of monsters and powerful bosses)
- 200 new spells (including all kinds of blessings and curses, damaging spells, AoE spells and even instant kill spells if you are lucky enough to find them)
- 255 new items (including weapons, armor, trinkets, artefacts to summon powerful monsters and contracts to hire new units)
- 15 new sets (giving all kinds of cool bonuses if you are able to obtain them )
- 2 new Races plus expanded and renewed existing ones (no more Goblins and Orcs together, all of them have their own melee, caster and ranged units)
- New buildings (including epic tier shops and a casino)
- New encounters and events
- Everything is created with new graphics and new sounds (units, spells, etc.)

Mod v13.04Z was skilfully translated by Drakon and his team, but after that he no longer had the time for it.
Since then, in the last 18 months, there have been loads of awesome changes and improvements added,
which can now finally be enjoyed by us English speakers:

- 3 races (Dwarves, Alkari, Dark Elves) fully reworked.
- hundreds of new images and visual improvements, including the models for all the hero subclasses.
- new music pack from the composer of original Eador.
- several hundred new events and dialogs.
- nearly a hundred new neutral armies, suited for different playing styles.
- dozens of new combat abilities for units both old and new.
- dozens of new sites and encounters.
- many new spells and item sets.
- several new buildings and rituals.
- countless improvements to balance.
- countless improvements to game lore and universe logic.
- nearly every alliance quest reworked for consistency.
- campaign balance and flow improved.
- countless bugs and mistakes fixed.

I'd like to thank Boon and especially Kettarienne for their support in the whole translation process this past month. It's been a pleasure working with you.

ENJOY !!!

I don't think it would make sense to upload a completely new large file of 338MB just for some small changes, so please apply this patch after having installed the full mod.

Patch v2.14

Things fixed (other minor bugs will also be collected and fixed with each patch, but won't be listed):

2.14
All major bugs removed by now, I think, so this is just a weekly patch fixing minor glitches and spelling/grammatical errors and shortening certain texts to fit into their frames.
2.13
Went through all 500 abilities and corrected, unified, improved and polished their descriptions.
2.12
Checked and improved all 282 unit descriptions and shortened some dialogs.
2.11
Fixed a major bug in races.txt (thanks, Februarius) and corrected and improved all text in it while I was at it. Fixed length text Mercenary Guild. Some minor improvements.
2.10
Nothing major, some shortened texts to fit into the frame, and some spelling and grammatical fixes.
2.09
Fixed some important format string mismatches, mainly in dialogs, that could cause game crashes (see bug report thread). Thanks a lot, Boon!
2.08
Fixed two garbled unit names that were too long, corrected and improved all province guard descriptions in defender.txt and many unit descriptions.
2.07
Fixed some spell names (slowed>slow, etc), improved all monument texts, fixed bug in players.var (thanks to Boon), shortened various texts to fit frame again
2.06
Shortened various pieces of dialog to fit the frames, fixed tutorial mix up on 3rd and 4th tier spell circles and unit ranks (same generic text in Russian) and set medal of zeal upkeep to 4 (thanks Boon).
2.05
Fixed all of the errors and implemented most of the suggestions listed by Boon in the bug report thread (more info there).
2.04
Shortened many different texts and sentences that were longer than they should have been, going outside their frames, notably the hero class level ups, and some dialog answers.
2.03
Fixed question mark shown before an apostrophy in certain items, like the "birdeater?'s egg"
Fixed Ratclaw text to show they're not small, but in fact giant creatures
Fixed confirmation dialog when deleting a spell
2.02
Fixed major bug in the display of descriptions for province buildings (see bug report thread)
2.01
Fixed major bug in the display of descriptions for certain units' special abilities (see bug report thread)

Are you saying that the tinyurl redirect doesn't work in your browser? Try the mega links directly then, and see if that works.

The reason I used the tiny urls was that the forum software doesn't work well with the mega links.
Manually select the whole long url and copy and paste it into your browser.

Alternative download links:

Good luck!

Sat,

You left out a few files that make the release self-contained. Was it on purpose?

Regards.

Yes, I thought I made that clear. In my opinion it's supposed to be a mod, not a free game. It may not matter that much for the Russian version, but the English version would directly compete with GOG and Steam, which still sell vanilla Eador Genesis.

So, please, let's not wake up any sleeping dogs, as the expression goes in my language. People can buy Eador Genesis from these games sites for just a couple of quid. I don't know if the original developers stil get paid for each sale, or if they sold the rights completely for a bulk sum, but I don't really care. I love GOG and I wouldn't want to steal from their income in any way. I also think that the point is moot, because most people that manage to find New Horizons already own Eador Genesis anyway.

And once the release has become stable enough, and I think we're getting close to that point, I'd like to place a link on the GOG forum to this release thread, so I definitely don't want to illegally offer a free game, but just a free enhancement that makes an already great game even better, much better. Smile

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Thank you very much, on behalf of so many. If you should need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me. I began working with Drakon on this some months ago, but as you know, he no longer had the time. I feared that this day would never come.

Bravo!
