[NOT MAINTAINED] Innate Traits Rebalance

Hey! A heads up. I'm uninstalling the game. The mod will definitely work until 4.0 comes out, and should probably work even after then, but I won't update it anymore. If someone wants to provide a maintained alternative, please feel free to use my work. Have a nice one.

This mod rebalances the innate (starting) traits of generic lords and heroes.


Ever wondered why the generic Strong trait gives you +5 melee attack and +10% weapon strength (plus armour...), while a similar Khorne trait gives you +3 MA and +2% weapon strength? Well, now you won't anymore.

All of the generic traits and all of the traits of all factions (barring some exceptions) have been rebalanced. Their effects are the same: if a trait gave you a melee attack bonus before, it still gives you a melee attack bonus; no effects have been added nor removed. They have however been rebalanced to be both meaningful and consistent among themselves, so that picking a trait is now actually an interesting choice.

A few examples:

- aggressive (all): +15% ws / +10 cb (was +10% / +8);
- strong (all): +10% ws / +5 ma / +10 armor (was +10% ws / +5 ma / +15 armor);
- corruptor (all daemons): corruption +5;
- maimer (Khorne): +10 ma / +10% ws (was +3 / +2%);
- repellent (Nurgle): +15 md (was +4).


All the changes are listed in this Google Doc file[docs.google.com].


This mod should be compatible with anything that does not change the same innate traits effects. If you use a mod that changes the same effects, first: why? They just override each other. Second, one of the two will take precedence and make the other not work, but this should not lead to any crashes or weird behaviour; simply, one of the two won't work.


All my mods are here.
