It is also possible to modify existing weapons, units, classes, spells and magic items. With the help of a paint program you will also be able to add new graphics to units or terrain. All images must be saved as Targa (.tga) or SGI (.rgb.sgi) images. The image file must have 24- or 32-bit color and be uncompressed or RLE. If the image is saved in 24-bit color, black will be replaced with a fully transparent color.

The mod files are stored in the mods subdirectory of the CoE4 game directory. If you place the icons and graphics used in the mod in a subdirectory of the mods directory, use the following file path notation./subdirectoryname/filename.tga The notation is a Linux file path, but the game will read it correctly also on Windows and this will make your mod compatible on all platforms. It is advisable for Windows users to use a text editor other than Notepad because CoE4 uses Unix type endline characters and Notepad handles endline characters differently than Unix based systems. Using Notepad may work, but it is not guaranteed that your mods will work for others without problems. You can use Wordpad, which is included in Windows, or you can use a program downloaded from the internet. Some alternatives would be Notepad++ and Crimson Editor / Emerald Editor. For graphics, there are many options available. The native Paint program in Windows does not support Targa files, so Windows users must resort to something else.

All modding commands must be saved in a text file with the.c4m (Conquest of Elysium mod) extension. The c4m file must be located in the directory called mods in the CoE4 directory. It is possible to have many mods enabled at once. For instance you can enable a mod that turns Dwarves into giants at the same time as a mod that adds a new Elf nation. A game created when a mod is active will automatically activate this mod for all players participating in that game. There will be an error message for any player who hasn t downloaded the mod. Two mods should never try to modify the same thing. This can result in different behavior on different computers. The mod commands sometimes have a vertical line ( ) among their arguments. So use either the argument on the left side of the line or the one on the other side, not both. Mod commands are executed in the order of appearance, from the beginning of the file to the end of the file. Make sure that commands that are prerequisites for others appear before the commands that require them For example, modding a new weapon must be done before assigning it to a new monster (or an existing monster) or the mod will crash.
This also means that all mods must be selfcontained and cannot rely on other mods to do something first. 1-3 Mod Syntax Mods commands are mainly a text command followed by numbers and perhaps some text (e.g.
