I found my old collection. I know nothing about Bakugan anymore, if anyone has prices on any of these if they are worth anything I'd appreciate it.

(Original Thread for context: I miss hero trails more than I thought. : r/OldenEra)

Due to the feedback from my last thread. I saw many people who missed the same feature I did. Hero Trails. The feature was simple, based on the size of your army, a trail would appear behind your hero. It was amazing feeling the progression on your characters strength through the trial it left behind on the map as your crept.

Each faction had its own trial and added a certain uniqueness and detail that I felt was missing in olden era. I loved seeing enemies come out of fog of war with a huge trail and run back to my castle in fear of their army size. I have gone ahead and created a mod for Hero trails. It is still in development and currently early progress. so far I've done the following:

Faction palettes:

• Temple: white/gold sparks.
• Necropolis: green-blue smoke.
• Hive: red/orange ember smoke.
• Dungeon: violet/blue arcane glow.
• Grove: green/gold motes.
• Schism: cyan/white frost haze.

(note, currently they are on the wrong factions, as you can see by my video)

I am struggling to figure out how to read army strength and make the size of the trail based on the power of the army, I'll continue working on it, but the game feels better already. even with a small trail. (see here for a bigger trail but slightly more laggy due to first test version. (https://imgur.com/a/hero-trail-homm-olden-era-XDnEhPo)

Thoughts and feedback appreciated. I'll update this thread when the mod is complete with a zip file and instructions on how to add it into your game.

Title says it all. not a high-quality post but I'm hoping I'm not the only one who misses this. Of all the silly things, in all the homm games. It's the silly Hero Trails that show the strength of your hero as your creep around the map. I would love to see a return for this. It was exciting in 5 watching the tiny little trail appear when you start getting your T6 and bigger when you get a stack of T7. The fear seeing your enemy come into vision with a puff of cloud trialing behind them when you've got nothing bigger than a small ray of light, made you run in fear. Not a high priority and there are plenty more things I'd rather them work on. But one can dream.

SECOND UPDATE: Hero Trial V1 MOD based on feedback : r/OldenEra PLEASE SEE HERE FOR THE MOD I CREATED FOR HERO TRIALS FOR OLDEN ERA.

UPDATE: Due to the amount of people who miss this. I decided to start creating it as a mod! I've tested it and it partly works. can still see enemies in fog of war, lags game a bit, need to tweak size and power based on army, but here is a video and it looks amazing already!!! https://imgur.com/a/XDnEhPo Let me know thoughts!
