what is there i should know about KindOf modules ?
some have effects like HERO but can i for example add whatever KindOf code to a unit eg when trying to customize leadership ?
because i want Lurtz to be affected by Saruman's spell and same with hobbits affected or Gollum.
so for Lurtz, could i add LURTZ in his KindOf and then add LURTZ to the list of units affected by the spell ?

No you can't.

There are specific words for KindOf, i tried what you mention but only a few words are acceptable.

But you can find a marker and use it elsewhere for your purpose.
For example, i have put "MINE" in gimli or dwarf berserkers KindOf, and added balista to my dwarven faction, and with the code (used mainly in extended edition) for the balista to have a passenger filtered by "MINE" i can put a dwarf on it and throw it

I guess you can do the same with a marker of low influence, for what you need.

Otherwise, there is another system using "key". I don't know this one well but you can try it. I've seens more random words in it, maybe you can add whatever word you'd like.

and where can i check all the possible words ?
i am sure its gonna be game.dat

EDIT = watch your dwarf, there may be side effects like him blowing up

Huho, no, he won't explode... Well not really...
I just thought that every flame arrow has a damage nugget 10000% on MINE...

I don't know for the words :( if i find them i'll tell you.

Thank you Lord of Gifts the well named

I have tried to find an .ini where they could be ruled, but without success :(

Take care as some may have more influence than i thought.

The MINE tag for example forbids the attack cursor. I tried to put CAN_ATTACK to compensate but it didn't work :(
