I found tool Mon Power sites.google.com/site/sergroj/w ⌠ects=0&d=1
It calculates AI/Fight Values for monsters based on Attack/defence/Hit Points/damage values
(not all, but author swears it gives results close to standard).
Unfortunately, seems there are no sources, so these formulas cannot be reused in other programsâŚ
Can someone help me? I was trying to make a mod, and I got this error:
23:31:33 ERROR global [11c0] - Resource with name CONFIG/KNIGHT/KNIGHT and type TEXT wasn't found.

But unfortunately, I have a problem now. Iâm trying to make heroes for the Succession Wars mod for VCMI, and I came across a problem that many names are the same.
So when I made a hero with a class âknightâ, which was actually supposed to be a H2 knight, he appeared as an additional knight hero in the castle faction. His specialty were H2 peasants, but instead he has neutral H3 peasants at startup and his specialty bonus works for them, I havenât given him the other peasants to see if his specialty will work on them, but all of this makes the mod impossible.
If you add new heroes and units with new identifier, they will be added to the game. If you use old identifiers, they will be replaced. What is confusing here?
Well, not exactly. Overriding H3 objects works only with âcoreâ prefix. Meaning that:
âcore:knightâ : {} // edits H3 object
"knight" : {} // creates new object with same ID but different mod-origin.
Works as designed IMO and quite difficult to change.
And using such IDâs in mod creates ambiguous references - âpeasantâ can be resolved to both H3 peasants as well as peasants added in mod. Right now such situation be âresolvedâ by random
I would consider this as bug - triggering a warning if such situation is encountered is a better idea.
How to fix mod:
a) Rename offending object
b) Select object from specific mod using scopes. So âcore:peasantâ will always resolve to H3 peasants. While using âknight:peasantâ will always resolve in peasants from mod âknightâ.
Keep in mind that itâs possible to use any bonus as hero specialty, even these which werenât originally related to specialties. Many of them should work if only it makes sense.
Really?! Because I was just about to ask if you were going to make some new specialties. I thought there were some specialties that werenât made yet. I read that many months ago somewhere on google docs.
I was just about to try to make a hero who always has positive morale. Is that really possible? Can I really add SELF_MORALE as a specialty? I have more unusual specialties from the Succession wars mod, and I hope to copy most of them to VCMI as a mod. Some of them are pretty useless, so I might just not make those, like âstarts with expert wisdomâ.
This should work thanks to bonus system. All hero abilities will be surely propagated to the creatures in army. Not certain about artifact bonuses, but at least some should. Try it
And, why does VCMI report images in defs as missing? Is that a bug or what? This makes me want to extract files, even though the def has my icons perfectly aligned.
I think I can, but I donât know where to download the forge. And I need to fix 2 more bugs with your preserve mod, even though itâs playable now, I want to fix it completely when I send it to you.
Iâm also working on the succession wars mod, but I donât know how to put all the hero specialties.
I just thought people would like it to be playable, if the only reason the mod doesnât work is small changes that were made to the mod system. I wouldnât change the mod at all. And I also thought that mod was dead before. I thought HotA team were the only ones that would make the Forge town.
I wanted to ask.
What will happen, if there will be class of hero defined for âfactionâ:âneutralâ and some heroes are made?
Will they appear in taverns in towns?
Or they will be only in prisons?
Or they will not be used at all?
I plan to create some heroes assigned as neutrals, with non-standard relatively big starting armies of hobbits/boars/etc neutrals
As I remember, they are random, if not set.
So neutral heroes will do what I want - will not appear in towns and will be as bonus chars.
Thanks for answer.
PS I think prisons are often useless (but have strong guards). Chance to meet uber hero will make them more useful.
