Exalted Daemons for Champions of Chaos - A Warband Expansion

Description
Updated to 6.1
Added Skullreapers and Wrathmongers to Valkia and Be'lakor

Updated to 5.0
Mercenary Ogre Bulls can now be upgraded to Plague Ogres when playing Festus or Be'lakor. UI was also fixed to fit plague ogres and bile trolls.

Regarding 4.0 Update
The original idea of this mod was to make the exalted variants of the daemon infantry units available to the Champions of Chaos. CA finally made this baseline in 4.0, so people who only want this functionality can safely ignore this mod from now on.
Therefore I removed my implementation for exalted daemonic infantry from this mod. The Upgrades for cavalry and monster units still work though and I plan to keep them functional. Please refer to the old mod description or screenshots to see which units become upgradable with this mod


Old Description
Adds the ability to upgrade the Daemon units you receive as Gifts of Chaos to their exalted variants for the Champions of Chaos factions. This mod will NOT make any of those units recruitable normally but use the Warband Upgrades mechanic. Therefore the following lords receive new unit types:

Vilitch -> Exalted Pink Horrors
Valkia -> Exalted Bloodletters
Festus -> Exalted Plaguebearers
Azazel -> Exalted Daemonettes


Lords will also receive the following upgrades:
Every Warriors of Chaos Lord can dedicate Chaos Furies after researching the corresponding branding iron tech
Valkia and Be'lakor can now upgrade Exalted Bloodletters to Bloodcrushers
Vilitch and Be'lakor can now upgrade Flamers of Tzeentch to Exalted Flamers or Burning Chariots or Changebringers
Festus and Be'lakor can upgrade Exalted Plaguebearers to Plague Drones or Pox Riders of Nurgle
Azazel and Be'lakor can upgrade Daemonettes to Seeker units
Azazel and Be'lakor can upgrade Seeker Chariots to Hellflayers or Exalted Seeker Chariots

Technology requirement was moved to the technology that enables marked units which also affects Bela'kor.

Submod for Archaon, Kholek and Sigvald:

@Darth Kraven I only tested this on new campaigns, but since the mod is essentially script free I would think updating it mid campaign could work

A little question the update also applies to an ongoing campaign or I have to start a new one?

ok i thought you meant "outside" of the champions
Dirty Dan  [author] Jun 5, 2024 @ 1:12pm 
@ADRIEN crossbowlov WARAD druchii that was only regarding the champions of chaos (Valkia, Vilitch, Festus and Azazel). It may be possible that using the Submod for Warriors of Chaos alone could be enough to give him the exalted daemonette upgrade

you said: "The original idea of this mod was to make the exalted variants of the daemon infantry units available to the Champions of Chaos. CA finally made this baseline in 4.0, so people who only want this functionality can safely ignore this mod from now on."

i just verified: sigvald still cant upgrade daemonettes, exalted variants still only for belakor and the 4 champions in vanilla game

for a small time you gave me hope that sigvald was fixed ^^

@Dirty Dan Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification; that explains it.
Dirty Dan  [author] May 4, 2024 @ 4:43am 
@Videogamer40000 the upgrade is from my mod indeed, but the decision to permit those units for the default warriors of chaos must have come from CA since I only did this with the Warriors of Chaos submod. I don't know why they allowed those units to the Warriors of chaos but my guess is that is has something to do with adding them as gifts of chaos.

They aren't available with the mod turned off, as far as I am aware, so it might be some sort of weird interaction between the patch and the mod itself? I can't say for sure simply based on what I am seeing alone. It might be something to take a look at if you yourself aren't wanting to keep them for Archaon, Kholek, and Sigvald, at least without the submod to fit with the rest of the scheme laid out. Regardless, thank you for the response.
