Unique Skaven Warlord Traits for Each Clan!

Description

CURRENT VERSION [1.2.0]
MAJOR CLANS UPDATE - Read Patchnotes


WHAT IS THIS
As new content powercreep doesn't seem to end, the Skaven Warlord went from Generic combat lord to "why even bother?" Aside from the 10% Casualty Replenishment, the Skaven Warlord has no advantage over any other lords even with a boneripper mount. Why bother when Warlock master is deadlier mounted while casting spells and the Master Assassin can delete enemies on foot?

I originally made this mod as a personal thing but I don't think I've seen another mod that does this despite being how simple it is to implement.

HOW DOES IT WORK
Now everytime you hire a Skaven Warlord, they will earn a new clan-only trait that will make your Skaven Warlord with a unique trait that buffs your warlord or the army he is commanding. Each clan has their own trait (sometimes multiple variations) so it adds a small buff and flavor to all the warlords you're hiring so you don't feel like you're wasting a lord slot.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I CONFEDERATE WITH ANOTHER CLAN OR BRIBE THEM AS ESHIN
When you confederate with another clan, all their warlords retains their Clan Trait so your new warlords are even more unique compared to your own clan warlord. This means confederating with minor clans who have a bunch of warlords isn't such a bad idea anymore as one of those unique traits might be something you're looking for.

WHY NOT DO THIS FOR GREYSEERS, MASTER WARLOCKS AND MASTER ASSASSINS
We really dont need another reason not to use Warlords, and I feel like those lord-types are unique enough.

WHY DID YOU PICK THESE TRAIT EFFECTS?
Trait effects were picked with in mind of the actual Clan's lore. For example, Clan Ferrik is very well knowm for mining deposits of iron which allows their warlords to cover face to toe in thick armor. Clan Mordkin and their clan history with the undead made them much more competent against undead opponents. Clan Mange are incredibly loyal to the highest bidder which I translated as near-perma loyalty! And it goes on for the other clans, Clan Fester only being one I kinda picked randomly because all I knew about Fester was from Vermintide



DOES THIS MOD REQUIRE A NEW GAME
It is always recommended to start a fresh new game for a mod!

DOES THIS MOD WORK WITH [INSERTMODNAME]
This mod's functionality is almost all scripted, so it should work with any mod AS LONG AS THE MOD DOESNT REMOVE SKAVEN WARLORD SUBTYPES.

CAN I USE PARTS OF YOUR MOD TO CREATE SOMETHING
Sure man, but please make sure to credit me! Also I'm planning to expand this to other races outside of skaven in upcoming updates!



KNOWN ISSUES
- Pre-existing Warlords will NOT gain their trait (this will be updated in future version)
- Current lore text for traits are generic


What's next?
- More Warlord traits for each faction
- Add clan only passives to Minor Clans
- Eventually start another faction (such as dorfs)
- Fix the KNOWN ISSUES section

I notice you never responded to a single "is it compatible wih sfo?" comment. Well, is it?

I'm unfamiliar with Skaven, who would this need to be added to this mod for it to be up to date?

Any plans for a SFO submod for this? Would be really neat to have :3

I found a glitch that activates specifically when i play Tehenhauin (with no other mods at all enabled) where clan fester is steroided to godlike levels. You dont see it if you just look at their units from the map, but once you attack them on the battle preview screen you can see that even their skavenslaves have over 90 melee attack, and their warlords start at like 130. Every unit in their army gets this strange buff that makes them super op, but none of the other skaven clans get it and this only happens when i play tehenhauin. Tried gor rock and they are fine. If you play them with an unlocker the buff isnt there at all so im not sure whats up but i thought i would let you know.

Anyway i love this mod and have used it in every campaign since i discovered it a long time ago. Have a nice day!

Does this mod effect the existing Warlord traits? Something has changed ravenous expansion and I'm trying to figure out what.
