Tome of the Elder Lords Tier V
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.
