Undead Sigmarite Priests (WIP) restored
As the title and image implies this is a reupload of my old mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2407704954
This reupload was necessary due to a faulty update of mine that corrupted the original mod, still deeply sorry about that fellas.
This mod introduces the Undead Sigmarite Priests into the Vampire Counts roster, they are all High tier units.
Respectively:
-Fallen
-Fallen (Dual Hammer Cavalry)
-Exalted Fallen
-Exalted Fallen (Dual Hammer Cavalry)
-Haylael The First Fallen (hero)
-Unholy Fallen (Great Hammers)
-Unholy Fallen Cohort (Dual Hammer Infantry)
-Unholy Fallen Cohort (Dual Hammer Cavalry)
Ok, presentation over: let’s dive into the technical stuff!
*BALANCE*
This one was hard.
I do think that I may have gone overboard in a few places, but balancing units like this is not easy.
They still have a huge cost and upkeep but to be honest I do feel like they need a little nerf…dunno in what area though.
As always feedback is appreciated.
*COMPATIBILITY*
As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess with vanilla units.
I’m playing the game with 70+ different mods and everything is working fine.
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want the Fallen in your campaign you’ll have to start a new one.
*KNOWN ISSUES*
-Since the Fallen are pretty much Warrior Priests with skeleton heads sometimes, if you zoom enough, you can see minor textures missing, It may be caused by the different models mixing.
-The new Unholy Fallen (Great Hammers) weapons have now a proper size but they are showing weird brightness/shadow levels due to problems with the WS files, can’t do anything about It sadly (at least with my current knowledge of WS files) .
*UPDATES POLICY*
Let me be straight with you…when the mod status change from updated to outdated….if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff….know that https://media.giphy.com/media/e3URFlLQywEPC/giphy.gif
…But jokes aside: please don’t do that.
When it becomes necessary, and when I can, I will update my stuff, do not worry.
*Q&A*
1) " Why Is this marked as Work In Progress?"
That could be misleading so I will clarify here and now: this mod Is finished.
Or at very least Is finished by what I can do and add.
I can tweak It with balance updates based on feedbacks but that’s pretty much It.
Despite that I still do feel like this Is unfinished.
There are still a plethora of things that could make this mod better like:
-Change the models to make their equipment rustier and in line with other VC’s skeleton armies.
-Make a unique model for the Fallen Cohort.
-Make a unique model for the Unholy Fallen Great Hammers since they are currently using Dwarf ones.
-Make a unique model for Haylael and (this one would be totally optional but still cool) his zombie dragon.
-And many other things.
And that’s the problem: all of that would be insanely cool but sadly I do NOT have the skills to do any of that.
So that’s why this Is a WIP for me, and It will stay like that for the time being.
Given that, I do grant Full permissions to use this mod as template for any modder interested in using any of this for his personal project, or to complete this one, do whatever you want.
I just ask for proper credits, nothing more nothing less 😉
And erase my unique indexes from your brain, of course.
And that’s all I guess!
Credits time!
Firstly I would like to thank all the artists who made those Warhammer original pics that I have modified, thank you!
Thanks to @Titoos https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198049208162 who suggested to use zombie heads on arch lectors and to @Hierophantom https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197985806202 who suggested to change the old Cohort models, cheers https://gph.is/g/aQNQ1AV
Any of this would not have been possible without Frodo45127’s RPFM which is still updated to this very day, thank you!
I would also like to thank Sebidee and Caligula for their great modding guides!
And I would like to thank you!
Whatever you liked my mod or not thanks a bunch for giving it a try!
Let’s be brutally honest now: there are countless modders that are WAY more talented than me and that would deserve your money more than me.
That said, If you have grown to like my works so much to the point that you want to express your appreciation or just put a smile on my face…well: I will not stop you 😉 .
You have my gratitude for all the support you can throw at me, independently by the donation’s sum: you are all equals to me and I do thank you all.
From my part I can assure you that your donations will not be wasted, in fact I would mainly use them to:
-complete the Total War Warhammer DLC collection and thus expand my modding possibilities
-speed up my Warhammer 3 preorder
-PC related things
