Jungle Dragons

DISCLAIMER: Considering the previous history between The Old Ones and The Dragons, this mod should be considered as NOT lore friendly.
If you want to know more, please consult the QA section.

This mod adds the Jungle Dragons for all of the major Lizardmen factions.
I changed their appearance a little bit to make them more similar to the rest of the Lizardmen roster but they are still the very same Wood Elves vanilla Forest Dragons for anything else.
As you can see from the screenshots I made 5 variants in total.
They are available through the following building chains:
-Through the Lizardmen main terradons building chain for all of the Lizardmen factions
-Through the main horde terradons building chain for Nakai
-Through the special terradons building chain for Tiktakto

Ok, presentation over: let's dive into the technical stuff!

*BALANCE*
This custom unit Is a Vanilla clone and thus vanilla friendly.

*COMPATIBILITY*

As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess too much with vanilla units.
I'm playing the game with 100+ different mods and everything is working fine!
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want these Jungle Dragons in your campaign you'll have to start a new one.

*KNOWN ISSUES*
-Some face masks' pieces may clip a little with the dragons' bodies while performing certain animations.

*UPDATES POLICY*

Let me be straight with you...when the mod status change from updated to outdated....if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff....know that https://media.giphy.com/media/e3URFlLQywEPC/giphy.gif


...But jokes aside: please don't do that.
When it becomes necessary, and when I can, I will update my stuff, do not worry.

*QA*
-"Why this should be considered as NOT lore friendly?"
You may not know but unlike the vast majority of the creatures that roams the Warhammer world, Dragons are part of a group of primeval creatures that have existed since the dawn of time.
This means that they have roamed the Warhammer world long before the coming of the Old Ones, in fact at that time they were the dominant species and the period was known as age of Dragons or also as ice age.
When the Old Ones arrived they also brought the warmth, this climate change forced most of the Dragons into a forced deep slumber thus ending their age of dominance over the Warhammer world.
Taking all of this into account the idea of Dragons siding with the Lizardmen (the favourite children of the Old Ones) and making the Lustrian Jungles (not exactly one of the coldest places in the Warhammer world) their nests sounds a little bit silly. Which Is why I'm marking this as NOT lore friendly.
All of that said you should still consider that:
-A) Fire and Magma Dragons exists
-B) While Dragons are extremely ancients and powerful beings capable of doing both considerate and inconsiderate choices, they also have flaws and can be corrupted by the dark powers.
They helped Aenarion against the forces of Chaos but then Galrauch got possessed by Fateclaw and now Chaos Dragons are a thing.
They sided with the High Elves during the Elven civil war but since Malekith stole the Dragon Eggs from the Kingdom of Caledor, Black Dragons are a thing and they have served the Dark Elves for generations now.
Since they are extremely ancient they "should" also be wise beings, in theory.
In practice we got greedy Dragons that love to hoard gold and pile up Dwarf grudges, ravenous Dragons that like to terrorise the Bretonnian countrysides just for the lols and Warpstone Dragons that...uhhh...really like to eat pure Warpstone (much to the Skaven kind dismay) which Is definitely something that an ancient and wise being would never do.
-C) I think we can all agree that sometimes the Warhammer lore can be a bit messy or confusing, especially since large chunks of lore tied to the very first editions are treated as retcon now (which Is understandable considering how wild they went with certain stuff).
The situation becomes even more complicated if we also include what should be seen as canon or not canon with the books and the whole Storm of Chaos/End Times ordeal.
All of that said: I still hope that you can enjoy this mod even if you are a really loreful person, if not I completely understand.
-"SFO?"
As a matter of fact I'm officially retired from SFO/Overhaul related mods.
As always: If you already have previous experience in SFO submodding feel free to make an SFO version out of any of my mods that are currently missing one, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.
-"Can you make a mount submod for x or y lord?"
No, I generally don't make lord/hero mount mods.
You have my full permission to make mount submods though, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.
-"If you wanted to make Lizardmen Forest Dragons why did you use Ceithin-Har's model?"
Thought that It was cooler, In my opinion His colour scheme Is also better suited for the Jungles.
-"It's nice to have 5 variants but can we choose a single one?"
No.
The game will randomly choose one of the 5 variants each time before any battle.
The only way to lock a specific variant Is to use RPFM and erase the other variants in the variantmeshdefinitions file.

And that's all I guess!
Credits time!

Thanks to Phazer for RME editor!
Thanks to H3ro and his great tool!
Any of this would not have been possible without Frodo45127's RPFM which is still updated to this very day, thank you!
I would also like to thank Sebidee and Caligula for their great modding guides!
And I would like to thank you!
Whatever you liked my mod or not thanks a bunch for giving it a try!

Let's be brutally honest now: there are countless modders that are WAY more talented than me and that would deserve your money more than me.
That said, If you have grown to like my works so much to the point that you want to express your appreciation or just put a smile on my face...well: I will not stop you ;) .
You have my gratitude for all the support you can throw at me, independently by the donation's sum: you are all equals to me and I do thank you all.
From my part I can assure you that your donations will not be wasted, in fact I would mainly use them to:
-complete the Total War Warhammer DLC collection and thus expand my modding possibilities
-PC related things
