==''Installation''==

# Already included in Mod Pack 
'''Latest version =>''' http://forum.dark-omen.org/help-section/read-me-ultimate-dark-omen-xpvistawin7win81win10-game-fixes-t111.0.html

==Background: Problems with Dark Omen==

# '''Regiment numbers''': Fewer units provide shorter entertainment. Do you miss the massive battles from Singleplayer campaign?
# '''Artillery''': How many battles reached a stalemate situation due to the steady artillery?
# '''Shield costs''': Who dares to buy shields? This feature is not used because of high values, for example Zombies shield cost 600gc!
# '''Experience evolution''': Who can afford for TOP Wights (8400gc) or TOP Orc Boar Boyz (7680gc) in a serious army?
# '''Item costs''': Swords too expensive, Ptolos & Spelleater (which is better) at 500gc, Horn of Urgok‘s effect at only 750gc…

==Fair Omen Changes==
===General Info===
'''Fair Omen''' reorganizes Regiments/Items giving them a different Size/Price/Order and corrects a few mistakes from programmers. Regiments have a mathematical Structure based on multiplies of 60 and were distributed forming Factions.
----
All Troops were resized into an ''Epic Scale'': 1-3-6-9-12-16-20-26-32. To edit an Army you have Total Freedom: You have permission to purchase any number of a same Regiment and there aren’t limits for Experienced Regiments or Items.
----
'''Mobile Artillery''': Siege machines get Movement 2 and ''“Will never rout”''.
They are single units with 3 Wounds. Don’t have close attack. Ballistic Skill: Imperial Cannon +1 (to 4); Orc Ballista +1 (to 4).

'''Initiative boost''': Regiments get +2 Initiative to improve their pathfinding. Movement: Vampire -1 (to 5); Wraiths +1 (to 5).

'''Leadership boost''': Regiments get +1 Leadership to fight longer. Exceptions: Wood Elves/Wights/Mummies (all keep L8).

'''Grail Knights''': They replace Knights of the Realm to become a better cavalry option. Grail Knights are stronger and ''“Immune to fear”''.

'''Greenskins improvements''': Monsters Squads => Trolls 3/3, Spiders 3/3, Scorpions 6/6. Scorpions and Orc Big'uns get ''“Immune to fear”''.

'''Errors corrected from programmers''': Despite descriptions, Mercenary Ogres didn’t ''“Cause fear”'' and Zombies weren’t ''“Immune to fear”''.

===Experienced Troops===
'''Old System''': In DO, next levels double the Regiment's "last price", e.g. Zombies prices are 270 (L1)/ 540 (L2)/ 2160(L4 FE). Considering gold spent, it’s quite clear that ''Quantity'' is more convenient than ''Quality''.

'''New System''': In FO, next levels have a slight price increase based on the Regiment's performance.
Also adds "shield upgrades" where Regiments with ''higher level'' also come with ''higher armor'', always based on the Racial limits.

===Item Costs===
They are multiplies of 40 to help you spend ''all gold'' when playing with 5k/7k Limits.
