Tome of the Elder Lords Tier V

Description
Update 3. I have cleaned up the menus somewhat. I have also created a new version that is a Tier IV tome which focuses more the buffs onto Dragons and not Mythics. I will maintain this mod for anyone who prefers it however. Thank you for the comments and the Ideas.

Update 2. I have added the tags needed to make the tome veiwable in the tome Library, and have changed the requisite skill levels of the skills added by the mod to be Expert for the Tier 3 and Master for the Tier 5.

Update 1. I have not changed much of the function of the abilities, but the second skill has been changed, and two new skills have been added to the first two DLC Books.

All three skills are now tied to the Dragon Lord Skill group. Each of the previous tomes Dragon skills grant the benefits of that Tomes transformations to the Dragon Lord in question. The new Tier V skill is an army buff that affects all dragons in the Dragon Lords army. It grants them always flanking, a 5 HP Vampirism effect, and a 2 Defense/resistance penetration against Mythic targets and heroes.

Thoughts behind the Mod

This is a Tier 5 Tome designed to compliment the Dragon Dawn DLC and provide magical support and Buffs to a late game Mythic Unit Build.

The thoughts behind it are a few. First and foremost, it is designed around the idea of having an army of dragons proper. The three buffs are quite powerful, built in mind specifically to make up for the lack of buffs that mythic units normally get.

The first is a defensive buff that has the bolster effect, without the 1 per turn limit, but also with a 1 turn duration, and adds a second retaliation. Its meant to help against a dragon being immediately mobbed to death by a bunch of low tier units in one turn

the Second buff is to roughly give the effects of your dragon racial transformations to proper dragons. Its always been a pet peeve of mine when games introduce something like the draconian transformation that give abilities that the dragons don't posses. I.E. I have made my race of servants slightly more like dragons, and now they have a particularly powerful regeneration effect, something that NONE of the dragons have.

The third apply frenzy and first strike. I had wanted to build an effect that would grant additional damage based on how many tiers above the other unit the dragon is, but I couldn't find an ability similar enough to rip the effects from.

The final spell is a strategic spell that lasts for 2 combat turns, doing fire damage each turn and giving all dragons on the battlefield the fiery rebirth mechanic for those 2 turns.

the unique landmark is a mine that gives you 2 Imperium plus 1 Imperium per adjacent Mine.

The tome has two skills, on described at the top of the mod, and the second is to grant the hero the main buffs provided by the Unit Enchantments.

This was done as a personal project for Myself and My friends. Please continue to temper your expectations, I am quite new to modding.

TLDR. this is a Tier V tome (and 2 skills) that has several magical buffs for mythic units and grants several of the dragon themed buffs to both mythic units and Dragon lords.

That's the current plan but LIFE™ has not been working with me. Give me like 2 weeks or so and I'll see what I can do. Thank you for your patience otherwise.

So this gonna be remade or nah?

I will be looking into remaking my mods after the next expansion comes out, but I don't know how much success I will have. Unfortunately, depending on how the new skill terr works, It will probably be much harder to make the skill aspect of this mod and I'm afraid that it might make compatibility between any mods that affect leveling and skills almost impossible.

For the thing about increasing damage the lower tier the target is, you could try to invert the "mighty meek" buff that tier 1 units get if you go for order. It gives spirit damage the higher tier the target is compared to the unit.

great work!

I have the targeter for the Fiery Rebirth effect on the tactical spell fixed and the mod has been updated.
Dakoroth  [author] Mar 1, 2024 @ 3:22pm 
My apologies, the way some of the tactical spells work has been rewritten and broke the skill "Wrath of the Dragon God", I will try to figure out the new way to format the skill over this weekend and update the mod as soon as possible.

I don't know what to tell you, these screenshots were taken with a test mod setup. The only thing in them that wasn't base game was the test version of this mod, and my mod does not touch the graphics of the dragons. Sorry.:er_sad:
