Hi Am fine..here is the tutorial:

Follow below steps to add BG to any unit.

We will take e.g. of Nightvol:

1. Go to Address (Ctrl_+G) : 232422

2. Highlighted below is the BG Address. After Portait~.uva

3. Let us compare this with Samurai unit:

4. 0A 00 00 00 0B 00 00 00

Here 0A = Dragon Skin and 0B = Yang Blade.

So if you are using NightVol in Dragon, edit the address as same as Samurai.

Note: you can give any Dragon Clan BG here e.g. I can give “Fire sword = 0f” as against 0A.

5. Now the default BG like that of any Heroes is last four FFs:

So change this to any BG you like. Don’t forget to remove last three FFs otherwise it will give error.

Here is how it will look like:

FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 0A 00 00 00 0B 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF 11 00 00 00

0A= Dragon Skin, Train Nightvol into FireWorks

0B= Yang Blad, train Nightvol into shrine.

11 = inner Strength default BG

Has anybody found how to edit properties of missiles..like range, or increasing the stockable missiles(e.g. glasssword, kabuki flash powder) I found Glass sword address: 1A1BCB, but not sure if this is the one, tried playing around with but no luck...

Hi All,

Here is the compiled list of almost all the major inputs given by various forum members..

i was always finding it difficult to search in this forum, since it has already become 19 page huge, and search of this forum seriously sucks..

Compiled List

Credits to Mod team, Marcelo, DRA, ZejiWarrior, GrimyShamoke, sanada000 and others if i have missed out anybody...

Thank you for fixing the bugs in the list i made.

I'm momently not interested in modding br any more, but i think i'll start again in few months.

Go to page 12 of this topic

[Ryudo 1]

I am from germany playing this game for years. I love it and wanted to change little things eversince

First i wantet to thank you teaching me these things about this game

here are my "patchnotes"

All heroes more health, fully life regeneration, greater stamina regeneration

Lotus brothers have rice and water cost but not yin any more

lotus golems can be sacrifice in stables to get an trained horse

serpent ghosts can be sacrificed in stables to get an trained horse

serpent witches in demon form can be trained to permanent demoness in assasins den

the population of big armies are 55 instead of 40

many changes of Battle Gears, passive abilities and stamina regeneration of some units

colour change (i just tried a bit to get gray, dark green, dark red course this was the only thing i dont unterstand)

but i am not finished yet i want to try

-giving more than one bg to a unit

-building one more hero in the other keeps then dragon

noone made a list of passives so i want to catch it up

(i just post wich passives work on every unit)

42 korils distract missles

44 leaf disciples damage refleck

88 utara stun

5B otomo stamina regeneration in fight for him and nearly friendly units

24 druidess enangle

8F warlocks drain damage stamina of all atacking enemys

82 swordsmans +5% atack damage for every same unit nearly max 20%

65 raider no sight reducktion in forest

3E spearmans no malus for height differences for him

7F staff adepts getting less missle damage when he is attacking an enemy

16 chemists faster life regeneration for nearby friendly units

please correct/add if something is wrong^^

Is it possible to change the max screen resolution in BR? Currently it is locked with 1280 x 1024 as the max, as far as I can tell.

[Ryudo 1]

Hello... i want know if somebody know how to do that the computer player will do all the units because i only play in skirmish mode and the computer don't do all the units for example it don't usually do witch, battle maiden, reaper...

somebody can help me???

[Ryudo 1]

i know what you mean i even only play skirmish but not to less^^

sadly the KI is bad programmed on some edges

for example they never defend their bases when they have a huge army wandering around the map

they use BG totally wrong eg. taro uses his when you hit him with missles even when he does not effect any unit,

the pitch slinges trying to use their mines when they are in melee battle with another unit but

cause of they cant they are just standing around while you hit them.

on other egdes they are very good so sometimes the dragon comes with fu$§ing 12+ guardians +otomo and some other units and as long als otomo is alive, the guardians wont die cause of their BG and otomo regg their stamina with his innate ability

back to the point you cant change the KI behavior

the only way to make the game harder ist patching it by modding the Batttlerealms.dat

above you can see what i have changed

if you give units standart bgs every unit has one bg wich the KI really uses.

some of bgs the KI never uses eg. bloodbind. but if you give it to ronins as standart bg you ll´see that they´ll use them

on the other hand you dont loose anything cause you still can give the other abilities to units with their bulidings/brothers.

eg you could give lava rocks (hurler) to chemists so they have it after training. but you can also train him to use mandrake spores or these multi rockets you just cant change it back to his standart BG (just if the swordsman steal your trained bg he will get back his standart bg)

Play online in Gameranger.. There are players there that are incomparable to the stupid, hacky Ai in BR.

Doesn't the Battle_Realms.ini file let you change the resolution? I know it works for WotW, at least.

Excuse me, im trying to find the code for the keep.... but No help at all.... Im not sure which one.. Can someone PM me or tell me on here? again i would be most appreciated.

[Ryudo 1]

if you make the adjustments in the "options"->"appereance"->"Use Blank to Display Control Charakters"

like marcelo said

you can mod it easly because you can search unit mask sheets and portraits just by searching text like Dragon archer, lotus warlock, hero utara, hero kenji, wolf peasant hut, dragon dojo etc

see the differense?

does noone uses the funktions of the hex editor XI32?

if you use e.g. option "search"->"find" type "Lotus Pea" in and press ok he finds the "Lotus Peasant Hut" if you now use the option "search"->"find again down" or for pros just "F3"^^ then you get "Lotus Peasant Hut Burning" push "F3" again you get the "Lotus Pesant" and his mask sheet/portrait

if you search Lotus Keep you get it immediately like almost all things

you see, you dont need the adresses to find units and buildings!!!!!!! and another !

just to add here ...when you enter search term and convert string to hex and dont forget to separte each hex with 00.

for e.g Keep -> 4B 65 65 70 ->4B 00 65 00 65 00 70

Anyway Addresses are way quicker than normal text search..

you can find it my sig.

Here it goes:
