..these mods have breathed a whole new life into this game! Seriously, Legendary Heroes has finally actualized the potential we all saw in it years ago.
"i will not be playing without this wonderful mod ever again. the game would feel incomplete. it feels finished now; this really is what the game needed. i thought sd was going to release something like this 6 months after fe was launched. i wouldve payed 15 bucks for it."

I have had bad luck with the series. I get some weird sound glitches and then the game crashes.

i bet the devs would love to help solve your issue; have you tried submitting a support ticket or posting on their forums?
back to playing... right now im a tribal faction that can further individualize their cities by funneling their faith into giant totems that grant unique bonuses.

I tried this game, vanilla and the LH stand-alone expansion. It's nice and all, but it doesn't have that "something". Also, the battle system is a bit strange. Guess I'll try it once more when I won't have anything better to play (maybe there will be a "complete edition" then).

Will check then.
Just to make things clear: it's an unofficial mod? I'm asking cause the Fallen Enchantress game was supposedly made by a Civilization IV modder...

The whole game is basically a Civ mod which is what makes it unappealing as a stand-alone product.

This game can be really fun. Its like a age of empires mixed with fire emblem. And then you can customize everything. Big learning curve though.
