  6+2
Author: Niarg
Mod: Changes Shadow company layout
Download: The Awakening
Added: 11-30-05
Description:
Ok, some people have expressed an interest in Shadow having different company layouts.

In this mod shadow have captain\6xfront\2xflank.
I think on the whole it's a better layout as it allows Shadow subtly modify a company rather than into one and allow them to use units which boost the entire company (eg shadelings giving archer foe) much more efficiently (it will almost be like giving them an extra support slot).

The downside is that it might be hard to get much support in the midgame when the cost of fielding even a basic company will be quite high.
 
 
  Clash of the Titans
Author: Arilou Lalee'lay
Mod: Adds 14+ units including 6 powerful Titan units
Download: The Awakening
Added: 4-15-05
Description:
Clash of the Titans adds 14+ entirely new units to the game. Six of these units are so called Titans; Powerful (and expensive) end-game creatures, one for each of the six races. Most of the other units work best as support companies (For example: Try 1x Beast Company + 1x Obsipion Company in stead of 2x Beast Company). You have to find out what works best for you.

  Mod Balance 1.23 v1
Author: Vincent Poujardieu (vinz75)
Mod: Numerous balance tweaks, see read me
Download: The Awakening
Added: 6-28-05
Description:
* 2 new support unit for each faction - stock AI's will use them !
* healing is much slower - losing a battle will hurt more, but winning will be as rewarding
* control radius is bigger - troops will engage if a fight is nearby
* light infantry is better (and entrench faster) - now a valid option for early game
* entrenchement and charge will give bigger bonus - combined with the two lines above defense will be more efficient
* column mode gives bigger fighting penalty
* Haroun windrider are better - especialy in close combat
* Tech units are now worth buying.
* Tech upgrades are cheaper - depends on efficiency
* Human econ is better
* Haroun trees regenerate slower

The game is more strategic, reinforcements are key since rotating troops is less efficient, some planning is needed before any attack is launched. Enjoy !
 

 
  Monsters Mod
Author: Wanderer20
Mod: Adds monsters as troops - description
Download: The Awakening (combined the 2 files from the official forum)
Added: 5-30-05
Description:
The purpose of this mod -that doesn't' modify any game statistic- is to see on the battlefield those poor critters we usually slaughter for a handful of doll...gold! No more will someone consider the Rhaksha or the Slaanri as nuisances, but as troops to win a battle with (though I have still some doubts about the Rhaksha...)!

For the nostalgic (like me!!) we added some old entries from KIS and KAG who didn't appear yet in KoW, like the Conjuror and the Shadow Priest.

To use this mod, unzip the files in the C:\Program Files\TimeGate Studios\Kohan II Kings of War directory and call it "Data".

The Monsters mod works with the 1.2.3 patch.

It was created with the idea not to create uber units or fix the gameplay (who doesn't need a fixing), but to add variety.
 
 
  Remove Hotkeys
Author: Niarg
Mod: Removes hotkey numbers when recruiting (helps prevent accidentally creating forces when trying to select hot-keyed units while in recruitment screen)
Download: The Awakening
Added: 11-23-06
Description:
The hotkeys are stored in the localization/hotkeys folder. The hotkeys_favorites.txt stores the hotkeys for recruiting with the number keys so if you replace it with a dummy file pressing a number key when in the recruit screen will just exit the recruit menu. It also won't affect online play.

Installation:
To replace the file just download the attachment and put it into my documents/kohan2/data
