This page lists all mods currently available for VCMI
Mod usage
To install mod unpack archive in /Mods. This should result in such directory structure:
<data directory>/Mods/<name of mod>/mod.json
There is no need to activate newly installed mods - any mods not present in list of loaded mods will be considered as newly installed and will be enabled on start.
If you want to activate or deactivate specific mod open file <data dir>/config/modSettings.json. Set mod state to "false" for disabling it or to "true" for enabling.
To remove mod delete its folder (<data dir>/Mods/modname). Note that there is no need to update modSettings.json manually.
Notes
Data directory location is system-specific:
- Windows : %DOCUMENTS%\My Games\vcmi
- Unix-like : Inside home directory: ~/.local/share/vcmi
From 0.94 it is possible to download and install mods via VCMI launcher. This is preferred method to install mods.

What this mod does is changing starting resources AI gets to give AI players almost unlimited resources and gold, thus AI can build every turn in the towns it owns and pose at least some threat to a human player. Note that on S sized maps this settings will make AI very hard or almost impossiblle to beat. On most M, L, XL sized maps it should be fine to turn this mod on.
