More Fun for the Grim

* Updated to include Chaos Dwarfs! *

This is a combination of several tweaks for the imprisonment mechanic of Eltharion and the Yvresse Mistwalkers' Mirror Abilities. It combines two little mods that I more or less ported from WH2 (all credit to the original creators!) with several changes I made myself.

Inspired by the WH2 mod of the same name, though the code looks quite different now: The Mistwalker Mirror Abilities aren't lost when the prisoner is executed, indoctrinated or otherwise lost from the prison. Makes it possible to collect all the Mirror abilities over the course of the game - yes, it's op, but also very fun!




I was disappointed to see that prisoners of the four Monogods and of Chaos Undivided all granted the same Mirror ability. And CA totally forgot about Eltharion's mechanic in the Chaos Dwarf DLC. So, I fixed it and added five more Mirror abilities (see pictures).


Daemons of Chaos and Warriors of Chaos still grant the same ability. But if you manage to capture, interrogate and execute Archaon and either Be'lakor or Daniel, you'll get two more special Mirror Abilities, similar to how it works with Grom.


I also changed the Vampire Counts Etheral Mirror ability to have less of an impact on the gameplay: It merely gives a buff of +5% physical resistance and a nerf of -5 armour, with the other buffs (terror, strider) unchanged. Imo, losing all the armour was rarely worth it. Especially since you can now stack several other physical resistance buffs to get a similar positive effect without the trade-off.


Known Issues
Sometimes, the abilities are only updated after the prisoner is executed. There's also a small visual bug with a missing icon in the Athel Tamarha UI for the Chaos Dwarfs which I can't fix somehow. But it's only in that UI and doesn't affect the functionality.

The Warden's Cage ability is changed to last the entire battle. It also makes enemies unbreakable so that they can always be captured. As a trade-off, it increases their melee attack and defence but also lowers their speed and armour slightly.

I didn't change much compared to the original, which thesniperdevil has by now also ported to WH3:

The mod overwrites the script for Eltharion's prison mechanic, so it wouldn't work with mods that touch the same file. The mirror abilities are also altered, obviously. I don't know of other mods that affect those files, but if you have issues with the mod, keep this in mind as a possible reason.

The mod is save game compatible, but removing it after one of the new mirror abilities has been gained might cause issues.
