They have made it much harder. They changed the files and haven't given modders an ability to edit most of them. For example, take even smaller trees mod. You can't make trees actually smaller because that requires editing the script, instead you have to replace larger tree types with graphics from smaller tree types.

I had an argument with a friend about this but..Trebuchets ARE catapults. More specifically they are what's called "Traction Catapults", as opposed to the "Torsion Catapults" ( Onagers) everyone thinks of when they hear the word catapult.

That spy unit would make for a cool mechanic, imagine if it could disguise as enemy units and be controlable by both players while disguised. The enemy player would think its a villager or something and send it to town hall, only for the unit to start moving on its own and kill the king.

Thanks for making this video I didnt know it was that easy :D
Darn it, I was satisfied with the fact that DE was running surprisingly well on my 5-6 years old laptop (on lowest settings, of course) without any issue... up until I tried to get mods thanks to this video. The game just doesn't register when I subscribe to a mod at all and I can't even do the more complex file directory method for some reason... the button is greyed out. Even on the website itself I can't download anything. I'm plenty satisfied with the base game as it is, but I still hope I can get this fixed eventually, because some of those seem pretty cool to mess around with.

You can't use the Ingame start menu mods section? Nothing else worked for me either. Then I found the mods section in the Ingame starting menu. And yes, that was pretty stupid of me.
I wish there was a mod that made it easier to see, whether a farm is being worked or the villager just idling on it, like changing the graphics of a farm a bit, when worked. Also I want an option to exclude siege units from selection, like you can with villagers.
grats on 200k!
Yes, there is the Historical Units and Architecture! Do a showcase on it!

"Longer corpse decay" easy. I know exactly what you're looking for as that was my gripe on DE before I found it. I used to think "god, the bodies disappear so quick and no skeletons? Cheesy" Also suggest pairing with "Crimson Blood" mod. Basically turns the game into an M rating and you make some amazing screenshots when you want them 😊. Being that "Longer corpse decay" is a data mod unlike Crimson Blood, you'll need to select it as well in game creation data set options as well. Good luck!
Do we still need a grey color change on the minimap mod?
I'm in the process of making a Witcher inspired map, specifically based on the books. I'm gonna be mapping out the whole Northern Realms: Temeria, Redania, Kaedwen, Aedirn, Lyria & Rivia, Kovir & Poviss, Skellige, and Cintra (occupied by Nilfgaard). Not entirely sure what kind of gameplay I want tho... I'm thinking of diplomacy, like with that Game of Thrones Overhaul scenario.
How do I use some of these mods. One has a cog beside it and one has an exclamation mark? neither of the ones i want use have a checkmark

Something I've been wondering for a while about DE 256x is whether some of the inherent issues were considered when they redid the game engine, such as LOS caps, and building health integers. Not that I expected DE to be programmed with the specific mod in mind, rather that some of the hopefully known limits were addressed as a general notion.
