Tomes of the Warlord

Description
Overview
This mod adds two Chaos/Order Tomes themed around tactics and warfare.

My goals with this set of tomes were to expand on the martial warlord archetype, and to provide more tome options for the Order and Chaos affinities that are independent from Fiends and Celestials.

Features
  • Tome of Legions - tier 2 - Muster relentless armies instilled with martial discipline and led by experienced veterans. Features the Cohort, a tier 3 racial polearm unit that can be recruited in cities or created by upgrading experienced tier 1 units with a spell.
  • Tome of the Warlord - tier 4 - Master the art of war. Employ cunning tactics that harness the superior Morale of your armies and specialize in coordinating a variety of Unit Types. Features the Warlord, a tier 4 supporting Mythic unit that directs your units with tactical commands in battle.

Compatibility
No changes to any of the base game .rpk files.

Cohort visual problems with the alternate culture appearance options from "Culture Tome Units and Alternate Culture Appearance" should hopefully be fixed.

Other
I would like to shout-out the helpful folks at the AoW Official Modding Discord.

Gladiator Pit and Veteran Instructors icons were generously contributed by fellow modder Visie Maigo.

Ogre patch (open beta) update is complete, details can be found under change notes. You might need to un-sub and re-sub to force the mod to update to the most recent version.

If you find any issues I missed please let me know.

Hi everyone. If you're on the Ogre Patch Open Beta be warned that there was a modularity change introduced in this patch that can cause a drastic fps drop for some of the units in this mod when they are viewed in the encyclopedia and in game. It affects the Cohort units.

A fix will be coming eventually, sorry for the inconvenience.

Tiger patch update is complete, details can be found under change notes. You might need to un-sub and re-sub to force the mod to update to the most recent version.

If you find any issues I missed please let me know. (For any unit visual issues be sure to mention the culture and form you are playing as to help me reproduce the issue)

Why *did* you outright get rid of the Form Cohort spell? I get that some people felt it to be overpowered, but couldn't you have just bumped up the rank requirement (i.e making it only work on Champion or even Legend T1s)?

Mystic patch update is complete, details can be found under change notes. You might need to un-sub and re-sub to force the mod to update to the most recent version.

If you find any issues I missed please let me know. (For any unit visual issues be sure to mention the culture and form you are playing as, as well as any other visual overhaul mods you might be using to help me reproduce the issue)

@Dragon

That would be up to Komogi the creator of the UURB mod. They designed all of the C&DT UURB properties, I just set up the link between my mod's units and the properties they created.

The last time we spoke they expressed interest in making UURBs for my other mods so it will probably happen eventually but I can't say when.
Dragon May 13, 2024 @ 2:38pm 
Question, will this mod get a UURB added in like your Cloak and Dagger Tomes 2.0?

@ElderDays That would require a shield and spear animation set which the game lacks sadly. I suppose it could be done with attaching a shield to the arm like in AoW3 but that might be easier said than done.

Phalanx might make more sense than cohort for the legion unit, but fantastic mod none the less.

@Xenosophont thanks for letting me know, missing head should be fixed now.
