Tome of the Frozen Dead
A combination of Tome of Necromancy, Tome of Cryomancy, and Tome of the Horde.
• Summon skeletons just like you can with Summon Irregulars
• Upgrade them to T2 units
• Enhance units like with Frost Claws & Necrotic Magic
• Ice Coffin and Necrotize are combined
• Spawn and army of skeletons as a siege project
• Necromancers can apply Frozen
Shout out to Visie Maigo. This thing wouldn’t have gotten finished without their help 🙂
DEV NOTE 25/2/19:
i haven’t updated the mod with a new patch as i’m still working on where i want to take it in terms of balance, but here’s an update for anyone who is interested.
soul generation/mana issues:
the original mod has soul income at a flat 15 per turn which lets you churn out skeletons pretty quickly if you build into mana channeling and try and rush mana nodes. without them it seems like it’s at a pretty decent spot but i wanted to maybe delay the soul generation early game a bit more but increase it for medium-late game so i added in a city structure that can be built in all of your cities. the city structure will generate 10 mana (to help with those who don’t want to be forced to take mana channeling) and 10 souls. this SHOULD solve the general souls problem for later in the game, giving it a smoother transition into tome of souls and beyond.
woven lord’s call (summon/enhance skeleton):
i think i want to change the enhance spell for woven lord’s call. maybe instead of it costing only 60 mana i would make it cost 20 souls and 30 mana. i figured it costs the nerco, another T2 mob, 20 souls to train so maybe it would make sense for the skeles to as well. i might have to give them a little more than just a skill. perhaps a passive+skill?
T2 skeleton mages:
i need to buff the mages because i don’t think being slippery is enough. i’ll make a spell for them or use something with decaying/frozen/slow.
if anyone has any ideas or suggestions please feel free to leave them in the comments. i’m also posting these updates in a thread on the official AOW4 discord so you can post there too.
