If you mean "Deathkings of the Dark Citadel", technically it works fine, it's just game balance that might be a prob as it was never tested. Simply copy hexdd.wad from your "Hexen: Deathkings" directory to the Korax Mod or Korax Mod II dir, then open autoexec.cfg in a text editor, and add after the last line following: load hexdd.wad. Make sure you make an extra carriage return after this entry, or the engine won't load it. If you did it right, the game should start up with the HexenDK start screen instead of the custom KMOD one. Another possibility is that instead of adding it to autoexec.cfg you start up the game, pull down the console and type in load hexdd.wad, then start a new game from the menu. The preferred method depends on how many sessions you want to play the mission pack. We didn't play through any of the mods on the HexenDK levels. Since enemies are more and tougher, you might have more of a problem at start, OTOH you will advance levels faster. It might be playable, especially on lower skills. Also, since there is no way you get to a shop when playing the Deathkings maps, Korax Mod (the first one) might offer a more balanced gameplay for the mission pack. Anyway, if you get into those hubs and can get through, be sure to share your experiences with us so we know how it works. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Well first of all, I loaded the wad from the console, the load went fine, so I started a new game as the fighter, on the hardest playable skill(4). It was quite an experience for the first few minutes, [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] but pouring stats into the warriors strength helps more then you would realise ^_^. I didn't get through the hub at all because of work time was around the corner, so I will be giving another update when I have time later. All in all, I believe it is very playable with all characters, although the mage would be kind of hard to play for a bit, I assume as long as you kept the mage-battle strategy(run like your ass is on fire and/or defence spell) in mind you'll live thank you and good night
