Hi,
Awesome, awesome awesome. I was mindblown to find this game still existed to download, much less find a forum/board where someone had modded it. Skipped the nostalgia and went right to the mod.
Right away into it and I'm noticing minor details/problems. I'll just list more as I encounter them... hopefully it should provide some insight. First, biggest problem for me was installed the mod! There are no clear cut instructions either stickied to this board nor tagged in either of the downloads as a readme/install file. Although it was simply and it sounds silly, it took me ages just to search through this site until I saw in someones post where you (Boaster) had explained your reasoning behind naming the GS5... etc. On the Mantera page there are also no installation instructions. Several times something called a PIC5R3 was mentioned and I was clueless (rightly so) as to what this meant. You should provide links for the downloads when things such as PIC5R3 are vaughly mentioned. This was further complicated because the BAT auto-installation would not detect my LOMSE folder, even though it is in the proper place.
After I figured out the install, I'm noticing a few errors either in the descripts of the weapons or the stats in the weapons. First one off the bat, the Air Warrior (Thunder something I cant remember) blade claims +3 to hit recovery in the descript but the stat above it lists +5. I'll list the rest I found when I come across them again.
In game, the mouse scroll speed adjustments in the extended options are not working for me. Although the stock speed is a vast improvement over what the original LOMSE was, I'm trying to slow it further on the laptop.
I also noticed on the Mantera website that the unit stats pages will not load if you select the default faith in the drop down menu (the one at the top is always Air). You must first select another faith, then return to Air to view the unit stats. Otherwise the site will give you an internal server error.
I'll list more as I discover them. Keep up the good work!

Would like to add another glitch I have noticed or either do not understand. When making a custom lord, clicking either the - or + icons on the exp bar will cause the lord picture to alter. In fact, how do you toggle between pictures? I've noticed double clicking on the unit seems to change the lord's picture as well. Also, the picture you may have selected in the custom menu will not transfer into the game. For Fire, I had selected a particular picture and began the game with another. I tested it multiple times to see if this was an isolated occurrence.

Another few minor details. In game my Fire Warlord is named "Fire Warlord of Fire". Seems pretty redundant. Can he be the Fire Warlord of Water? ;D
Also the Ranged Attack stat is labeled "Ranged Attacked".

Good finds.
The GS5R3.rar has RAR comments:
It doesn't have elaborate instructions, but it's got simple enough instructions. Just replace the existing gs.mpq and pic.mpq.
The Thunder Blade seems fine. Displays +1/1X in icon and the same in description. Provides +3 Attack and Strength.
Set the scroll speeds, press OK. Should save in-game. Also, should generate a file in the LOMSE directory that loads upon clicking anything but Multiplay or Map editor.
What version of the GS5R3 are you using? What is the date? Always the first thing to check before posting something about the mod. It helps sort through confusion.
Fixed.
This is just cosmetic. Default Lord portrait will always load in game first. Changing the portrait can be done in the Unit Info Panel.
Fire Warlord is just the name for the class. Fire is in the champion title and faith. If it were just "Giant Warlord" or "Warlord" it would be too generic and ambiguous. There is another Giant Champion, would that make him a non-giant if there were a champion named Giant Warlord?
Where?

Newest version listed on the Mantera site, updated 03/26/11 I think?
Thanks for the help on some of those points. The "Ranged Attacked" is actually on the Mantera website, not in game, so less important. Also the item that is incorrect is the Feather Chain Mail, which lists +3 in the description for hit recovery and has +5 in the stat box.
Getting ready to load up the game so I'll list more if I find them or don't understand something properly.

Found another error. The description for Goblin Archer and Wild Cat in the Chaos Thieves Guild are reversed. This is outside an air village in which I build a Chaos Thieves Guild so not sure if that matters.

On the Mantera website, under the GS5 unit statistics the Faerie Lord does not display ranged attributes (shows mana, attack rate, etc.).

I'm experiencing another problem. I have freed the Life faction yet cannot build the special building at the Temple. I just keep receiving the message "Not enough resources: " with no explanation. Do I need a level 3 mage tower to build it? Currently level 2. I built the fire building at level 2.
Also I have noticed the same mistake as the Chaos Thieves Guild in the Order Thieves Guild. The Hound and Centaur Hunter descriptions are reversed. Again this is in a village. I would check the other factions.

That's a really big thumbnail (friendly sarcasm).
I'll investigate.
Saved the game, type in bingo cheat, then try to upgrade.
Also, double check the followers in the life capital and make sure a follower is available there.

Yeah, I uploaded it from my commodore 64. Will do.

Figured it out. Temple is requiring 3 followers to build the special building, but the listed rate is 1.

Did the Shrine of Vitality cost 3 followers, 75 gold and 75 crystals?
If so, this it's making you pay the cost for an Eternal Forge instead of Shrine of Vitality. It may be linked to the faith you are playing as.

Sorry I forgot to reply... yes, it is linked to the faith I am playing as. All the building upgrade costs are the original Fire Faith cost.
Can you provide me with a link somewhere on this site with the GS5R3 cheat codes? I'm trying to play around/test a few things and the only link I found was for GS5R2 and the codes didn't work. For instance, I'm trying to create Holy Knights and ctrl + c Holy Knights does not work.

The GS5R2 cheats should work in the GS5R3.
Have an army selected when typing in most cheats.

Figured that out also... the codes wont work unless capitalized. For instance holy knights needs to be Holy Knights.
So is there no link with a compiled list of the cheat codes?

Other than the ones for the GS5R2, which should also work in the GS5R3.
If you want to compile a list, you may do so. I'm a busy guy, even while recovering from surgery.
