What version of Equilibris do you have?
Maybe it wasn't properly installed?
Orcs have a new ability - Ranged Stun, may be this cause crash?
P.S. I'm sorry for my poor English.

Latest version(3.2) is here.
[url]http://www.equi-map.narod.ru/downloads/installMod_v3.2eng.exe[/url]
Readme is for Russian only - in Russia we have 2 versions - original English and localized Russian version from Buka. So we have original term (Sparks), and its Russian translation (Iskry), which can be misinterpreted by those who played only Russian versions or only English versions.
This is partial translation of readme file.
Major changelist from version 3.2
First, Grandmaster Necromancy Skill raises Vampires ONLY if hero level is above 20.
Second, additional spells were added to Ogre mage spellbook - Magic Resistance, Mana Drain, Spell Shackle, Snake Strike and Sparks.
Added some spells, which were hidden in original game
Hydra Health(Chaos, 2nd level) - Increases the hit points of the target by 25% until the end of the next combat.
Endurance(Nature, 2nd level) - Increases an army's movement on the Adventure Map by 3.
Rock growth(Nature, 1st level) - Creates a rock on a battlefield
Mass Forgetfulness(Order, 5th level) - Mass Forgetfulness restrains all enemy targets from using ranged attacks.
Poison attack(Death, 2nd level) - The target's attacks in melee combat become poisonous. Anyone struck by the target will suffer the effects of the 1st level Death spell, Poison.
Smoke(Chaos, 1st level) - Creates a 3x3 yard cloud that reduces all Ranged Attacks through the cloud by 50%.
Aging (Death, 3rd level) - Aged targets do 25% less damage and their Melee and Ranged Defense is reduced by 20%. Speed and Movement are also cut in half.
Terror (Death, 3rd level) - Terror causes a single target within the line of sight of the caster to lose its next 2 actions.
Resurrection (Life, 5th level) - Brings a certain number of hit points of dead creatures back to life.
Descreased price of Castle to 4500 gold, Citadel to 3000 gold
Changed Diplomacy and Charm skills, so they work if your army is 1.25 times larger than enemy's (in original game they work if your army is 3 times larger than enemy's)
Changed Ressurection skill so when casualties are small, efficiency of skill is increased.
So if you have Master Ressurection and 3 creatures died, 2 of them are ressurected.
If your hero is Cardinal (Life + Nobility) and he has Grandmaster ressurection, he ressurects 3 of 3 dead creatures, 6 of 8 (according to table in readme)
Changed some advanced class bonuses:
Lich (Chaos + Death) became undead - so mind-affecting, healing, poison spells can't be cast on him. He is also immune to morale, but vulnerable to Holu Word spell (like undead creatures)
Ninja (Death + Nature) cast random curses when attacks in battle (just like Beholder)
Warlord (Nobility + Combat) gives +10 to melee attack
Ranger (Scouting + Combat) gives +10 to ranged attack
Cardinal (Life + Nobility) gives +15% to ressurection skill
Some creature changes
Earth elemental now can "travel under earth" - thus immune to Quicksand.
Air elemental now has ability Negate First Strike.
Minotaur's block probability raised to 40%
Unicorn blinding probability raised to 40%
Fire shield returns 40% of damage taken.
Waspwort's weakness ability now affects Undead, Mechanical and Elemental creatures.
Sniper's crossbow now removes all ranged penalties for hero and his army.
Elven king's bow now gives additional ranged attack to army and to hero (if he has Archery skill or he is Ranger)

going to check the new version now... will return with a quick review...
everything seems to be working ok... love the new/old spells...

I've downloaded the addon, but, when I try to open it, table says:
"Installer Corrupted or Incomplete.
This could be the result of a failed download or virus corruption.
If desperate, try the /NCRC command line swich (not reccomended)."
I have Windows XP, Professional. Can this be a problem ? Ohh... I have Buka's "Winds of War" too.
But the thing, that interested, me, that the downloading was very fast...

Ok, Now I'm installing the add on, but after I choose the path and click install this message apears:
"Warning ! Your heroes4.exe file checksum isn't correct. Installing with this exe file may cause problems. Do you want to continue anyway ?"
Now, what I should do ?

Its probably because you have Buka. When I went to Russia, I bought a Buka game. I've regrented it ever since.

No, it's not the reason. Because mod is working on other Buka's WoW games.
Edit: It Works !!!

Can I install only 3.2, or must I install 3.1 first then overwrite it with 3.2 ? (A stupid question, I know, but... )
It's a pity not all the screenshots are from the add-on. Here's hoping you manage to include those cool features!
