Singe's Skills for Grand Patriarch Balthazar Gelt

Description
Balthasar Gelt, what a name. One of the Magi, though not the one who brought gold - but he is the one traditionally said to be African, and in medieval times, African people were associated with bringing gold due to the mines of West Africa. Gelt is an old English word meaning "to gild" or paint something gold, which is a pretty apt descriptor of what happened to him.

Also, he's Doctor Doom. I mean, look at him.
Anyway, here's four skills for the golden boi.
Experimental Alloys makes Pistoliers and Outriders faster and more resilient.
Silencing Shot makes Handgunners good at screwing over wizards. Charge my lines will you, miss Exalted Daemonette?! Try casting spells without your head exploding!
Alchemised Loadouts lets you start that rocket barrage of death even earlier.
Lessons of the East gives a selection of Cathayan stuff to Gelt's army - Defensive Stance to infantry, Elemental Winds to Luminarks, and Enchanted Metallurgy to himself.
Grand Patriarch's Approval grants Luminarks a bound spell in Lesser Banishment, so now they might actually bloody hit something for Sigmar's sake I mean good god they can't even shoot over long grass at the moment

Eldred's Guard is replaced with something new, just haven't updated it yet.

>get 40% on top - badly phrased, 40% total, they get 10% wardsave on top of everything else with your skills, which makes them very, very tanky before you start stacking active abilities.

>halfway useful as a frontline

After empire rework, by combining Luminarks and Light Wizards passives, you can give 30% wardsave to everyone within 55 meter of p.mentioned units. 55 meters is a lot. Usual frontline is 100ish, so 2 wizards 2 luminarks cover it all.

With this mod, Eldred's guard get 40% on top of everything else they have. Then you add Warrior Priests, and that turns into 60%.

Mind, Volkmar can get something like passive 80% damage resistance to his flagellants with this, so maybe not actually all that impressive. But if you really want your staunch line of elector troops, well.

BTW, Luminarks themselves also get stupid tanky with this, and CA been buffing their shootiness over past year. They aren't shit anymore.

Yeah, I need to change it

While I love Balthasar being my artillery guy, Eldred's Guard aren't really a part of his army anymore right?

Unsubed and resubed, didn't work. I downloaded "Singe's Skills for the Empire" and it works fine.

I think its just this mod in particular. Unless I've got a weird compatibility issue.

Yours might not have updated correctly. Unsub and resub.

Does anyone else only have the "Alchemised Loadouts" skill visible?
Nova015 May 27, 2024 @ 6:41pm 
Seems reasonable, because the empire has quite useful artillery options.

@Nova15
The thing is, Balthazar is in lore the artillery guy - Elspeth doesn't actually have much to do with it other than living in Nuln. I'll keep it in as a nod to that, at the least.
