Trajann’s Legendary Dragons

Here’s an idea I’ve wanted to do for a while. This mod adds 12 new dragons to the game, available for ALL factions!

So what the heck is this? Well I love dragons, but I think it’s kinda lame that they’re mostly locked to the Elven factions. So I thought it would be fun to create dragons that everyone can use, and that’s what this mod does! All factions can build landmarks at certain locations to "awaken" these dragons. The Wood Elves have different locations than the rest of the races, since they build settlements differently. I tried to place the landmarks around the world in places that somewhat made sense, you won’t be recruiting a zombie dragon in Lustria or anything. These dragons are VERY powerful, with each having juiced stats and a unique passive ability. They’re very expensive however, and won’t benefit from any unit tech (i.e. red lines). So the only thing that buffs them is army-wide skills, but they honestly don’t need any real buffs as they absolutely dominate in battle.

Ormr, The Spirit of Ice: A frost wyrm with an aura that reduces speed, armour and melee defence for all enemies around him.

-The Gryphon Woods for Wood Elves
-The Monolith of Katam for everyone else

Because these factions don’t build normally, they’re not able to access the landmarks. Instead, the dragons are simply added to the factions RoR pool, and unlocked once a lord reaches the required level. I know, it’s not super fun or flavourful, but it saves me the hassle of making entirely unique landmarks for these factions. Perhaps in the future I’ll give this mod a makeover.

That’s the roster! Now I must clarify, this mod is by NO MEANS lore accurate. If having a frost wyrm in an Empire army, or a forest dragon in a Chaos army upsets you, then this is not the mod for you. I made this mod purely for fun, and so I could get creative with some cool dragons. I did try to balance them somewhat, but ultimately this mod is about fun above all, if that’s not your thing then that’s okay! There are probably lot’s of other mods better suited to your taste!

If you would like to support me, you can donate here: https://ko-fi.com/trajannv . It is by no means required, and even if I never receive a single cent, I will continue to make mods for as long as I have interest. But of course, any donations are greatly appreciated!

With that out of the way, I hope that you enjoy these guys. Any feedback you have is appreciated, as well as any issues you may find!
