Warcraft GOA2: Rise of the Dragon

Supported CK3 Version: 1.14.0.2

Rise of the Dragon is a submod for Warcraft: Guardians of Azeroth Reforged. This is sort of like a "Warcraft +" type mod as it covers many different edits and tweaks as well as brand new content.

Included is new lore based landmarks (special buildings) for extra flavor such as the Elven Lodges, Great Trees, Dragon Lairs, Uldaman, Blackrock Spire, Shadowforge City, Grim Batol, Alterac Palace, Aerie Peak, Stonewrought Dam, Cenarion Hold, Silvermoon City, Wyrmrest Temple, Tower of Ilgalar/Azora, Neltharion's Lair and many more. (Note I used existing icons as I am not an artist)

New characters such as Kalecgos, Wrathion, Ebyssian (Ebonhorn), Xarantaur, Nozari, Andormu, Illyanna Ravenoak, Mordent Evershade, Var'dyn Skyseeker, Jorad Mace, Tarecgosa and more
As well as new and edited DNA for existing heroes such as:
Ysera, Merithra, Korialstrasz, Alexstrasza and her kids, Tyranastrasz, Eranikus, Senegos (now a Dragon Troll along with Emmigosa), Arcanagos, Nozdormu, Soridormi, Anachronos, Tortheldrin, Baristolth, Pas'draen (Commander Mar'alith), his wife Natalia, Vish Kozus, Ralo'shan, Rhonin (just his eyes), Giramar, Galadin and Arator (all are legit half elves now)

I've modified the "Plot Armor" flag modifier effect (now called "Legendary Character") as a major buff to help keep some lore based characters alive longer and give them more of a fighting chance, as well as hopefully keep them from dying from Storms and drowning. This modfifier effect has also been extended 1000 years from the base mod's 5 years. This will prevent the modifier effect from disappearing instantly on later bookmarks.
I've edited a few traits like the magic traits to give magic casters a better fighting chance in battle and the Order trait (Medivh's Guardian trait) to be more at parr with the Dragon Aspect traits seeing as he is supposed to be able to face off against Sargeras.

Speaking of Storms, I've added a new trait for Anti-Storms specifically for those that don't have the Legendary Character flag, you can simply right click characters and manually add the Anti-Storm trait if you have de-bug active. (Huge thanks to Mannerheim for this one!) Let me know if this helps out with Characters dying less from sea travel.

I plan to continue to update this with new buildings/landmarks, characters, DNA, traits and potentially items.

Please note Portaits were done with Better Barbershop, I plan to figure out how to set up starting clothing although I'm still learning how to mod lol.

Load after Warcraft: GOA obviously as these files will replace stuff.

There seems to be some sort of issue with custom races in the base mod where their children sometimes come out looking like Old Gregg. I personally use this mod when it happens to quickly paste my appearance on the child. Works great with the submod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2995348631

Old Gregg for reference lol: https://imgur.com/a/fBWBb70
