Herald’s Start Positions – Mod Compilation and a list of its corresponding mods, 7 out of 14 total, have been updated.
The following changes have been made.
HSDM – Golg Maneater change:
– the mod doesn’t change Golg’s start position and diplomacy differently when being used with HSP – Kislev & Norsca anymore, as Azhag returned to his vanilla start position.
Athel Loren changes:
– compatibility optimization for use with Mixu’s Unlocker and IE Expanded; Orion starts at war with Quenelles instead of Parravon when using these mods,
– the settlement of Quenelles now starts owned by the faction of Quenelles when using IEE,
– start position polish in case both Durthu and Orion are controlled by players (multiplayer campaigns) and Mixu’s Unlocker isn’t being used; a separate starting enemy army is created for Orion, while Cassyon starts as the initial enemy army of Durthu.

– compatibility optimization for use with Cataph’s Southern Realms and the upcoming HSP – Skrag in the Mountains of Mourn.
Grom & Eltharion in Ulthuan changes:
