Heroes of Annihilated Empires: Rise of Sols.
Heroes of Annihilated Empires: The Rise of Sols, is a mod which is now in its alpha stage. I started modding initially for cheating but when I knew I could make it a notch better, I went into the game's inside and found treasures which were hidden deep within the engine. Now here are the changes in the mod. If you cannot find any of the listed changes in the mod, then immediately report it in the forum support section.1) INTERFACE
