Mod handler is a class of modding engine which performs the following tasks:
- Reads all packages and conversions

Objects identifiers
Every game object (creature, artifact, hero, spell) needs to have unique identifier (ID). These IDs are assigned dynamically at game start. Original Shadow of Death objects are considered fixed.
Reference to certain object via script has a form:
[PACKAGE_NAME].[OBJECT_TYPE](localID)
For example, for package Wake of Gods
WOG.creatures(1)
is Supreme Archangel and
WOG.artifacts(3)
is Monster's Power.
