Dead's Kislev Overhaul

Welcome!
I want to start by saying this is a personal take on mixing Expanded Roster: Kislev and Nu-Kislev. I have permission from crisord, Deco, and Dindi to do this and though it is based on their mod from WH2 and their work they aren't the ones who made this so please direct all questions to me.I am excited to finally be releasing this for everyone. It has technically been in development since WH3 released as parts of this mod are that old.

On to the actual mod itself.
This is an overhaul which means it won't be compatible with most other Kislev mods.
It also isn't compatible with my other Kislev mods.

---

The focus of the mod as of now has been a rework to the roster. I removed/reworked the base game units and made my own take of ER: Kislev units. Not every unit was ported over as some were redundant or I couldn't find a good way to implement them. There is a new lord called Shaman that is only recruitable by Ostankya and lesser Kislev factions. Kostaltyn, Katarin, and Boris cannot recruit them for lore reasons. There is a new hero called the Blademaster, which is the same as my standalone release.

Unit visuals have been overhauled to remove the ice from everything. The Elemental Bear has been limited to Katarin. Ice Guard and Snow leopards are Katarin only. Streltsi have Chaos Robies anims that change them to use a halberd and gun. Gospodar and Ungol units are represented.

I have edited and changed some units to make this work, so other mods that utilize base game units like Caravans or Garrisons won't be compatible without sub-mods.

I haven't tested Calms units but I don't see why they wouldn't work

The Motherland by Xoudad - Not tested, most likely needs a sub-mod
Kislev Cavalry Shields by Müsliriegel - NOT Compatible (I made some custom shields so they would need resize)
My other Kislev mods - NOT Compatible (Most are implemented here)
Kislev Unit mods - Depends, test it out.
Caravans of the Old World - Works but might have errors, needs a sub mod. (Boyar campaign anims are changed)
Greater Kislev by NoMatterWha - Not tested
Hag Lore mods by various people - Will work as I did no changes to Hags.
Snek's Extra Variants by Snek - Needs a submod

IEE by ChaosRobie - Will most likely need a submod
Old World by ChaosRobie - Will need a submod

This was primarily made for IE at the moment, it most likely won't work for prologue and might work for realms of chaos but haven't tested.

These are the ones I know of. Any other mod is assumed to at least need a sub mod, but please test it out if you are unsure. In most cases I replaced the models for items instead of edited VMD's so reskins should work, but keep in mind a lot of the units that were in base game were reworked or removed.

This mod wouldn't exist without their amazing ER: Kislev mod from WH2.

Guv and Lily were my biggest inspirations to even get into modding Total War in the first place and have both helped me out so much more than they probably know.

As it stands, the mod works and I have been playing campaigns for the last month. The mod can and will continue to grow overtime and I am very open to ideas and suggestions. I can add other units from ER: Kislev if there is demand for them. I don't plan on changing buildings or technologies much as I already worry about balance. I have spent a lot of time trying to get the factions to vary recruitment, but they sometimes like to focus on certain units, this is mostly a base game issue. Gospodar units might feel strong but actually they are weaker since I removed their pistols, otherwise nothing else changed.

The Expanded Roster team were not involved directly in making this mod but the mod is heavily based on their work. Please contact me with questions.
