balrok99’s Elemental Idolz reworked
This Is an updated and reworked version of the 2020 Elemental Idolz mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2104997530 by balrok99 https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198092236389
This mod adds the Elemental Idolz for all of the Greenskins factions.
They are available through the main shaman building chain.
While I usually don’t change much when restoring an old mod the balance complaints in that comment section where simply too many to be ignored, which Is why I reworked this mod.
My updated and reworked version changed the following:
-Updated all of the outdated files.
-Added missing unit sets.
-Multiple nerfs/changes to stats, abilities, attributes, melee and missile weapons (they are still strong but now they should be less broken than before).
-Campaign cap for all units reduced from 3 to 1.
-Inspired by Maal’s Rogue Idols are Constructs mod I have applied the construct traits to these units.
-By recolouring the Magma Idol textures I did manage to create the Warpstone Idol!
It’s not pretty nor a clean work and It shows but It’s still better than nothing I guess.
Sadly, I have no plans nor the ability to make any other of the Idols that balrok99 was planning to release.

Ok, presentation over: let’s dive into the technical stuff!
*BALANCE*
If you feel like the units should be nerfed (again), buffed or adjusted in certain areas your feedback (if reasonable) Is welcome.
I’m open to changes.
NOTICE: The unit’s stats screenshot was taken with the unit size setting set to large, so expect more HP if you are playing on Ultra.
*COMPATIBILITY*
As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess too much with vanilla units.
I’m playing the game with 100+ different mods and everything is working fine!
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want these Elemental Idolz in your campaign you’ll have to start a new one.
*KNOWN ISSUES*
-None, for now.
*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Let me be straight with you…when the mod status change from updated to outdated….if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff….know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.
*QA*
-"That’s cool and all but…did you get balrok99’s permission?"
I tried to get in touch with him through another of his mods comment section.
Long story short: He didn’t reply.
So technically He didn’t say Yes but He didn’t say No either; moreover, It Is unclear if balrok99 Is currently retired and/or his account has been hacked and stolen.
EDIT: I have now the official permission from balrok99!
-"What about the other balrok99 mods?"
I’m not interested in updating any of the remaining balrok99’s mods.
-"SFO?"
As a matter of fact I’m officially retired from SFO/Overhaul related mods.
As always: If you already have previous experience in SFO submodding feel free to make an SFO version out of any of my mods that are currently missing one, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.
And remember to credit balrok99.
Radious version here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821585462
-"Wouldn’t have been better to make these units as ROR?"
Agreed, but I still don’t know (to this very day) how to make working ROR units nor I’m particularly interested in them.
You can make a ROR version if you are interested though, you have my permission.
Just remember to credit balrok99 too.
And that’s all I guess!
Credits time!
