Hello, everyone,

I am a first-time poster on GOG, and I played Darklords Rising as a kid when the game was (relatively) new and did a little messing around with creating scenarios and trying to stitch together campaigns. However, I'm not quite sure how to do things like edit factions in the campaigns to have different hero units available to them.

I have tried using the built-in editor tools that the GOG version of DLR has, but I'm not quite sure how to proceed and I don't want to risk entirely breaking the game if I mess up. Editing hero lists for factions is the first thing I'd like to do so I could play around with some heroes that otherwise aren't available in the longer campaigns, and after that, I'd like to dip my toes into creating campaigns again.

I looked around a bit at the forum posts, but aside from suggestions to use Molotov's tools, I did not find much information I could use; but, I could have easily missed something. The Molotov Ultimate Editor throws exceptions when I try to run it, and I haven't been able to get it to work.

I appreciate any advice anyone could offer.

maybe i can help, but i'm not sure i understand what exactly you are trying to change.

do you want to add new hero classes to the game?
do you want to know how to change what hero classes a side in one of your scenarios can hire?
or
do you want to change available hero classes in the original warlords campaigns?
