Help me try FfH in 2024

[Ellye]

I'm sorry if this thread sounds too lazy, but I've stumbled across so many posts from so many different years and dates that I ended up a bit confused.

Can someone point me to the latest version download of Fall From Heaven 2?

And is there any ModMod that is compatible with that edition and recommended? I've seem Fall Further and Orbis mentioned, do they work together too?

Thanks in advance.

First, take a look here.
The latest download is here. The main download is for version 0.41n, and there is a patch to version 'o'. This is the latest version.

The installation of the modmods I know is self-contained, not needing the base mod to be installed. As for making mods work together I have no idea.

I have played the AoE (Ashes of Erebus) and MoM (Master of Mana) modmods. For those my experience is that AoE has way more animal units on the map, which I find tiresome due to ensuing long turn times. Main features are summarized here.
MoM has for example completely reworked the magic system. Main features here.

In my opinion the MoM modmod is more playable, but both are interesting.

Very helpful, thanks!

I have been playing ExtraModMod for quite a while, although I do turn off some of their features when starting new games. That is one of its strengths: you have dozens of options you can turn on and off, depending on your preferences. I'm pretty sure the default settings will be just fine for a new player, though.

As with "a pen-dragon", I am not very familiar with FallFurther, Orbis or other modmods, but the modmod-less game (just Fall from Heaven 2, patched to version o) is stable and fun by itself. That might be the best place to start.

There is the more naval modmod https://forums.civfanatics.com/forums/more-naval-ai-modmod.476/ Which is vanilla ffh with better AI. Use this if you want to play on water maps.

Personally, my favourite is MoM https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/tweak-mod-for-xtended-master-of-mana-updates.684050/ just copy into civ6 bts mods directory.

the new to FFH post in the pinned message is still valid: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/new-to-ffh-read-this-first.613977/

Main mod is still available but not updated, and there's a few modmods still worked on depending on what you want to play with ( More Naval AI, Master of Mana, Magister Modmod, Ashes of Erebus )

Fall Further is not updated anymore, though Ashes of Erebus is a descendant of it. Orbis is not updated anymore either, but you'll find some of its content in other modmods (Master of Mana and Ashes of Erebus mostly)
