Remove enchantment visuals on ascention ?

[Renegat.38]

Hey guys, I'am a little bummed by the looks of my leaders after ascention into the pantheon. They keep the race transformations... goatleader has no horns anymore (because of draconic trans) for example.
I cant be the only guy that doesnt want that. Did not find any options or mods regarding this.

Did I miss a way to stop this ?

You can't stop it unless you only choose transformations you're ok with when you ascend or override ascension. Once you ascend with visually unpleasing transformations you're stuck with them outside map sessions when in game lobbies. You need to make a new character without the "ugly" transformations, or off the top of my head, you might be able to play around with the option on map customization that makes ascended leaders not start with their transformations in a new game. Then start a new game, finish it, then override your old ascension transformation picks that way.

The way around the headache of customization due to the above is to make a clone leader and count how many times you need to move a slider to the left/right for the desired visual option, hidden by a transformation and translate that to your ascended leader. The devs should really add in an option during pantheon faction editing to hide transformations, or some means of permanently setting which ones show up for a leader in the pantheon bar.

All that said it's not a "huge deal" outside of that, because on the first turn of every new game session you can choose which transformations you want to hide for your leader (and by extension the rest of the race) in your spell book's active enchantments. After turn 1 or reload the options disappears though it seems until you research that transformation or transformations again. Regardless, that make's it so that when you're playing a game session your leader/race will look as you intended which is the important part. :)

Theres a way to do it. But you have to keep the saved game, delete from your pantheon, reload saved game, disabled visuals, re-ascend.

I can confirm this works.

I have not extensively tested it but the game should remember what transformations where hidden on your ruler when they ascended and maintain that appearance. There are a few places that the hidden transformations are NOT hidden, namely the hero recruitment screen.
