Explosive Entrance - Celestial Edition - Miao Ying + Zhao Ming - Cathay

Description
Introduction

Have you ever wondered why your Dragonlord just seems to appear in the ranks of enemies without any effect upon transforming? Well, worry not! Never again will your Dragonlord enter combat unnoticed with their new celestial superhero landing.


Content
  • Adds Vortex/Explosions upon using Transformation of the Dragon for both Legendary Lords of Grand Cathay, Miao Ying and Zhao Ming. Features 4 different abilities, 2 per Lord, depending on whether they transform into human or dragon form.
  • Celestial and amped up version of the Explosive Entrance - Classic Edition, if you want a more modest and vanilla experience use Classic instead.
  • Abilties are meant to be theme-fitting, with believeable and balanced powerlevel.
  • It's main goal is to add some visual and explosive spice to the transformations; and create space for when the Dragonlords enter their more vulnerable human forms. It will knock back most small units but will, most likely, not knock away larger entities.
  • I tried to hit the frames as close as possible, so the explosion fits with the animation of the transformation.

Differences to Explosive Entrance - Classic Edition
  • Added friendly fire (around 5-10%) and allied ragdolls.
  • Flashier, more effects, with more explosions/vortex going off.
  • slightly less vanilla gameplay friendly
  • similar damage levels compared to classic. (can't confirm without more testing though)
  • Cooldown lowered from 120 -> 90 seconds

Balance/Motivation
  • I tried to make it not op and in line with vanilla values and lower. Transformation of the Dragon is now 90 seconds cooldown!
  • I want to encourage and reward players to regulary switching forms between dragon and human.
  • This mod adds no new talents or buttons. Everything is inside the 1 button that is already there in the vanilla game.
  • I wanted the Celestial Dragons to feel a bit more... celestial.
  • This ability has slight (about 5-10%) friendly fire and knockback.

Compatability
  • savegame compatible
  • also compatible with all mods that don't change the 4 entries of human-dragon transformation of Miao and Zhao Ying in the 'unit_special_abilities_tables'. Overwrites should, in almost all cases, not cause crashes. (My mod should overwrite most of the time)
  • Major Overhauls should be mostly compatible. My mod should overwrite 4 entries without any ill effect. You might experience varying damage values depending on the overhaul's changed hp values.


Known issues
  • Kills/damage scored with this ability does not count towards statistics (no clue why, however it's no real issue)
  • Explosion is always cast where the ability was cast initially, meaning if your hero makes an attack animation or gets knocked around during the 5 second transformation wind-up, the explosion will get cast at the original position. (no way to fix this as far as I know)


Other stuff
  • have fun!
