Heroes of Legend: Lords of Time Update

This mod adds 35 new characters to various factions and 11 playable factions (3 in IE and 8 in TOW). Most characters are recruited through landmarks added in my other mod, Landmarks of Legend, which is why it's a requirement (I will elaborate a bit more on this in the FAQ section). If you do encounter any bugs, please leave them in the comment section below and we will try to fix them as soon as we can!

These characters can also be recruited by the AI and it's implemented through a neat system scripted by scehr. The AI can recruit these characters under the following condition: the Player must play as a faction that CANNOT recruit the character in question. This means that, the AI will not be able to recruit the LL/LH (even if the landmark is built) when the Player is a faction that can recruit that specific character. However, If the Player isn't a faction that can recruit the LL/LH then, whichever AI faction constructs the landmarks first will recruit that character.


List of Playable Factions, Mechanics, Characters and Units can be found here, along with how to recruit them.

Playable Factions:
- Principality of Luccini (led by Lorenzo Lupo) starts in control of Luccini and has access to unique and thematic mechanics including a custom tech tree, bribery, landmarks and characters. [REQUIRES CATAPH'S TEB TO PLAY]

- Broken Wheel (led by Sheerargetru) starts at the Black Rock in the Chaos Wastes with an event chain focusing on the downfall of the Empire through cults and schemes.

Why is Landmarks of Legend required?
- Originally, these characters were going to be added to Landmarks of Legend, during the early period of both this mod and LoL, but I decided against it for two main reasons: 1) This is out of the scope of that mod 2) The whole packfile would be very messy, thus making it a hassle to update. So, I split this into its own submod and kept the mod dependent on LoL, as most landmarks/units required for these characters are already in that mod.

Is this compatible with SFO?
- Don't know, I don't use SFO.

Is this compatible with Cataph's Southern Realms and his version of Lorenzo Lupo?
- Yes. In IE, Cataph's Lorenzo will be disabled in the Plutocracy mechanic and, in his place, the Guild Assassin generic hero from this mod will be present for all TEB factions. In TOW/TOWC, Both mods' Lorenzo Lupo will be present and at war with each other. May the best Roman win!

Do I need to start a new game?
- Yes, you will need a new game for most characters/factions to work properly

Is this compatible with the map mods (IEE, TOW, TOWC etc.)?
- Yes

Can you make the TOW factions playable in IE?
- No, that would require new factions added to IE, whereas, TOW already has those factions which our characters are simply put in control of. Also, there is no lore-friendly location in IE for them to occupy given how condensed the map is. However, these characters can be recruited in IE through other means [check discussion threads]

Are these characters Lore-friendly?
- Yes, all characters currently in the mod are from the lore. If we do add any that are only loosely based on lore or our own creations, they will be marked as such and toggleable.


- If Cataph's Southern Realms is not enabled, there will be an empty faction select slot for where Luccini should be (Doesn't actually cause any issues, only that visual bug on the faction select)
