Tomes of Tyranny

Description
This adds a new tier 3 hybrid shadow/order tome focused around damaging morale, vassals, and acquiring souls from dissidents from your rule.It is designed to pair well with tomes such as beacon, doomherald, necromancy, and subjugation.

It adds the Wraith, a modified version of the corrupted soul.

Thanks to Mustang#3016 for providing the art!

Update: Fixes the Ivory Noble to propertly count as a shield unit in addition to mythic.

Great work on the mods, Timber. I'm about to add this one to your other Swampy one.
Timber  [author] Jun 26, 2023 @ 6:42pm 
Oh, shoot, I'm realizing a change I meant to have in here isn't, and I didn't realize. The noble is also supposed to actually count as a shield unit, and thus get all enchantments that way too. I was fiddling iwth that prior to upload and it might not have gotten pushed. I'll get that pushed out.

I think the Ivory noble is deceptively powerful. It maybe needs a slight bump up. But it has huge defensive stats, and the lifelink and taunt ability might as well delete an enemy melee unit from the fight as is.

Plus, it still gains the benefits of your race, something other mythic units don't, which can be worth a *lot*.

Maybe it needs a slight tweak up. But the taunt putting you in defense shield wall mode (something that I think might be missing from the tooltip right now, and needs adjustment), combined with life steal and watchful and the strengthened steal effect I've found to be pretty nuts.

I'd have to agree with Faytte. I'd also have to add that the Wraith Knights are a bit weak as well for what they are.

But then again I could be bias as the strength of the Revenant in the 'Ice themed tomes' mod by Araragi, is almost unkillable.
That mod seen here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2977116671

Ivory noble seems really weak for a mythic unit.

Geas is not a typo. It's a type of spell.

i got a kinda curious look, i am not sure if the Ivory noble's taunting ability is meant to be "Gaze" but it says Geas. but either way this mod especialy death knight just makes the Dark culture immensly useful

Man, I love how the Ivory Towers tome looks like. And the idea behind it too, I'm a huge VtM fan, but didn't even think about, how cool it would be to spice AoW up in that direction.

Major update:
Due to the rebalancing of the soul economy in the early game, Death Knight was probably producing way too many souls.
Sacrifice Dissidents soul gain was reduced to +5
Oppressor's Bastion's Soul gain was reduced to +5
Confessor's Quarters now grants Structure production for low stability, and food for high stability instead.

The Wraith Knight's demoralize breath demoralize chance was raised back up to 90%.

This update also introduces the Tome of Ivory towers. A tome focused on stability, souls, and strengthening hero and mythic units. This tome is partially inspired by the Camarilla and Ventrue from Vampire: the Masquerade. It features a vampiric, undead mythic unit who specializes in leading mortal armies (totally of their own volition, of course.)
