If anyone modded the Kohan games, you'll remember the K-MOD tool created by the development team. It was great for what it was - a GUI that let you change a lot of variables in the game. It opened up modding quite a bit. You could create new units or buildings (based on existing ones), make support units available on the frontline, tweak stats for cities, units, or leaders, and so on. The main drawbacks were relying on units that were already editable and that new things - like new spells or heroes - couldn't be created.
That's all changed.
A couple of months ago, a new tgx editor was released:
https://github.com/tim-de/tgxpack. This allows you to unpack all of the files and make any changes that you want - new spells, new heroes, more freedom for campaign editing. This is huge! There's already a group working on "Kohan Gold" which will be an updated community pack that has balance changes for campaigns and multiplayer, lots of new spells and units, and makes the Kohan Immortal Sovereign campaign playable in KAG.
What might block some people is that unpacking and repackaging the tgx files does require knowing a bit about using the command prompt. There's a barebones tutorial on the mod page that likely won't help anyone. I'm including how to unpack and repackage in the spoiler below.

It's easiest if you have a base mod (.tgx file) to work from. There are plenty to choose from at the Kohan Awakening site.
ahttps://theawakening.bravesites.com/
Mod folder:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... It_QsnYCYx
Pick one from KAG or KIS you want to use, then place the tgxpack.exe into that same folder.
Next, you'll want to point the tgxpack.exe to run in that folder.
Then you open up command prompt, navigate to the folder where you have the mod
Changing drives in cmd is just typing the drive name and :
So D: or C: or E: for example.
Then to open a folder, it's cd
So, for example:
D:
cd Backups
cd Projects
cd kohangold-KG-
Or you can just use tab to autocomplete and do it all in one go.
cd Backups\Projects\kohangold-KG-
Once you're there
tgxpack.exe
tgxpack pack "TGX Files"
and you're done. Will create a tgx file.
After that, it's just XML editing.
This is the beginning of a renaissance for Kohan mods.
