Looking forward to the battle!

I just want to make sure I've installed correctly (Linux wine with gog install, long story). I see the differences in costs (gold/mana/unit abilities, etc), some picture changes (lizardmen fire lizard unit), but should I be seeing anything else engine-wise? I see halfling slingers still throwing 4 stones, etc.

Do you have a debugging/test map to make sure all of the features are showing up properly?

If you have any engine changes at all it's because your AoWEpack.dpl has been successfully replaced by the Ziggurat Mod version, in which case I don't see how anything could be failing to show up - unless I forgot to mod it into AowEPack.dpl. Everything is probably fine.

Oh, the things to check for are reduced upkeep (2/4/6/8 per unit tier), all city units get installed in 1 turn, vision ranges for units and towers is reduced, there should be a hex of terrain vision outside of active vision.... don't you have these?

Of course there is also the Ruleset in the Release folder, and some description from the Dict folder, and some image fixes in the Images folder

Ultimately all I did to Archery, Hurl Stones, and Poison Darts was minus 1 ATK.

It just means, to install the mod, you just need to replace (in the Age of Wonders directory) AOWEPack.dpl, the Release folder, the Images folder, and the Dict folder, with the versions provided in the mod download.

But before doing that you might want to copy-paste the originals to have a duplicate stored for vanilla games.

Do I need to delete the files I am replacing from the AOW directory first, or do I simply copy/past the new MOD into the AOW folder?

Oh, that make sense now. I thought I should expect one less arrow/dart/stone loosed per attack. Everything seems to be checking out
Everything seems to be working properly for me as well, right on
I made an update to the mod, but it's minor enough that you don't have to bother updating if you can't be bothered.
