Unique Dragons for Imrik Dragon Reskin
This mod gives Imrik’s campaign specific dragons new looks, as well as giving his own dragon, Minaithnir, longer horns per his tabletop model.
VERSION NOTE: If you hit subscribe, you will get this mod in standard definition. If you download the version in this link you get 4K version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19pXzzu9VnFVhIDUy8ICwo-9zMqlwkB6F/view?usp=sharing
It has the exact same name as the subscription mod and will overwrite it. My theory is that when this mod first came out, the subscribed mod (which had no data) was overwriting the 4K version, hence no visual changes.
The best looking screenshots are in 4K, the rest are standard definition.
These reskins are SOMEWHAT based around the lore provided by Creative Assembly in-game, as these dragons are not from any novels or army books (but for Minaithnir of course).
CHANGES:
-Gordinar is now a very vibrant red with black horns, black talons, the underside of his wings are also black with the glowing runes of Aqshy, the Red Wind of Magic seared on the top of his wings, as he is the ‘Champion of the Flame’.
-Bruwor has more vibrant green tones, glowing green eyes, alternate golden red tones around his wings/dorsal fins and Wood Elf styled tribal markings along his jaw and belly, reflective of his friendship with the Wood Elves.
-Shackolot is blacker all around, the underside of his wings are dark purple, a paler skull-like coloration for the snout and horns with purpled eyes, a nod to the fact that he is a master of necromancy and has many undead followers.
-Ymwrath the Star Dragon is a much darker blue with glowing stars and nebula textures along his wings. The undersides of his wings are now a deep red, similar to a very well known piece of Star Dragon art.
-Lamoureux is much paler (but still yellowish, as the game points out he is still a Moon Dragon and not some ice drake/frost wyrm), his eyes glow blue, has frost textures along his wings, belly and claw pinions, and thanks to Calm&NormalTime, has a chunky icy beard.
-Minaithnir has more prominent horns and additional tusks like in the tabletop, also courtesy of Calm&NormalTime’s modeling efforts. His horns, tusks, pinion claws and talons have also been whitened in honor of his tabletop look.
-Each dragon on their unit card has new flavor text to further bolster their individuality, before they shared the same descriptions as run of the mill Sun/Moon/Star/Forest/Black dragons.
-Unit cards have also had colors slightly tweaked to reflect graphical changes, you likely won’t notice however as there is much clutter with the RoR chevrons on top of their art.
-Portholes have also changed to represent graphical changes except for Ymwrath, who has changed to little on his head to warrant a new pass.
Many thanks to Xoudad for data table help, Calm&NormalTime for the lovely modeling touches, ^1Shep^8ardov for the excellent 4K textures and KLB for the splendid 4K screenshots!
KNOWN ISSUES:
-Minaithnir and Lamoureux have slight LOD issues so their textures will ‘pop’ after coming in from a long camera distance. I tried many ways to solve this, and consulted many sages, but to no avail. The price for dope horns and killer icicles! If anyone can solve this minor quibble, please do be my guest.
-This mod has compatibility issues with mods that resize dragons and other seemingly simple dragon mods that end up overwriting this mod, preventing the new skins from showing up. Either turn the clashing mods off or follow the advice by SOTR in the comment section, it involves editing pack files and tables.
