Description:

This mod adds the Zoat Elder as a generic lord and Zoat Warden as generic hero to all Wood Elves factions. On turn start each wood elf faction holding any magical forest region will be granted one Zoat Elder per region, available in the lord recruitment panel. This can only occur once per magical forest, so each of the wood elves factions could (in theory) have up to 10 Zoat Elders. This also means that you won’t be getting new ones if they die before becoming immortal. Also works for AI.

This mod was created by Ubermorgen and Skørne as a submission for the Modding Den’s[discord.gg] January 2021 Mod Jam for WH2, themed "Elf?".

Mod Features

– Generic Hero: Zoat Warden
– Generic Lord: Zoat Elder
It is said that Zoats are powerful magicians, and that they strive to protect the ancient forests of the Old World. In the ordinary run of things, Zoats are seldom encountered outside their woodland homes. Indeed, even within such places, it is rare to catch a sight of one. They seem to be well intentioned creatures, unwilling to interfere in the affairs of others. This does not stop them from destroying their enemies or protecting their homes. When intruders close or danger threatens, Zoats prefer to rouse the trees and undergrowth to crush and strangle interlopers, rather than take direct action themselves. In this way, Zoats can avoid detection, and even a single such creature can imbue a forest with a reputation so dreadful that even marauding Orcs and rampaging warherds will give the area a wide berth. Where sorcery alone is not sufficient, the Zoat will leave the shadows to enter the fray personally, knocking the invaders to the ground with sweeping blows.

There’s one setting adjustable via Mod Configuration Tool – MCT:

Availability: Specify which agent types are available. Either Lords only, Heroes only or both. (default: both)

Keep in mind that changing these setting mid campaign may not bring the expected results – please read the tooltips in MCT before posting any "bug" reports about this!
