Awesome work, I would give you more than one QP if I could.
I have only one request... Can you put 2 black dragons facing each other so we can see if there is clipping like Limbic said.

Bad news everyone
I've managed to test Scaling mod in multiplayer and it is seems not working if your opponent doesn't have this mod. So if you are planning to take some hot multiplayer battle, make sure that you and your opponent both have the same files. Otherwise the game will kick one of you from the battle before it starts. This mod works perfectly fine if both player has it.

Later today I'll post some clipping screenshots. There are clippings. But it is not nearly as scary as it was described to us. I'd say that in dynamics it's even invisible.

I was hoping it wouldn't since it's more of a cosmetic change but this is not entirely unexpected. No problem, everyone will be using it anyway

how did you manage to create new *.upk file (CH_BlackDragon.upk in this case)? Would you post the way and software you used?
Also did you select everything (bones and mesh) and scale them up or just the mesh?
1. In content browser you must create a copy of an asset you want to modify
2. Modify it
3. Save it as UPK (not map save, but package save from content browser)
4. Rename and replase.
You don't need to modify meshes or bones. There is an archetype for evry creature that contain all information about it (tiles size, abiliteis, atack, defence, scale, etc) and you simply edit and replace this file. It is about 30 kb for each faction. That why it's very easy to edit balance and all..
Wow, I don't know how I missed this... This opens up all sorts of possibilities. First on my list of things to do is clone the RMG .upk and replace that in hopes of getting better random maps

So, we can actually do global mods with no problems, right? That's great. ^^

Nice! Just keep in mind that any global changes could cause problems and they might end up overwritten by official patches! If you overwrite a file from a patched game with an older version it's bound to have problems not to mention you're basically reverting that file to an unpatched version. Basically, be careful and we can't really help if a mod breaks something.
Cool seeing you play with sizes. I don't think we'll be changing sizes anymore as they came about with what was agreed upon internally, but i do keep an avid eye on what you all come up with 
as for the player colors on creatures becoming optional, it's being looked at!

interesting...
I don't mind army coulors that much, though I must stretch that it doesn't work for all the factions. Haven looks great and some creatures in other factions (hunters, pixie for example) do as well while Behemoth just looks silly.

I sure hope so because they are atrocious. Everyone shouted against colour coding so we end up with player instead of faction colour coded units?

I'll jump on the wagon too.. I'm sure people will be delighted that you'd rather keep the version they dislike.

The football teams are going to be a toggle-able option in next patch.

Yeah, just like Lich and Vampire models were agreed upon internally. And townscreens (or their lack) in Heroes VI, no random skill option, earlier Heroes V release date... Tell me more.

Sure. From now I have to release a new version of this mod for every patch. It's okay, I can handle this. Still it would me much easier if you (or Ubi) create some area at SC where we could share our mods and maps and keep them updated. With ratings, comments and all. Or maybe even mod manager integrated in game?.. Fantasies.. *sigh*

It's okay. Who we are to question your internal agreements after all, right?

Sarcasm isn't helping. I'm sure the devs would appreciate constructive criticism more, they have taken the time to share their time with us after all.

Please remove level cap in next patch and make so that shooters can engage in melee if I want them to.
Those two fixes are that simple..

I don't get how clearer can we be regarding size of some units. Dragons are to small, deer and spider are to big. Sarcastic or not we said it in thousand different ways that size of those units are very wrong. They just internally agreed they will ignore only feedback entire community was clear and united about.
