Description:

This mod takes the various bosses that Norsca can hunt and makes them Regiments of Renown in the appropriate factions. All of them are expensive to both recruit and maintain (moreso than any other vanilla unit) and require a high level to recruit (higher than any vanilla RoR) but are very much worth the cost as they can win you entire battles. Every effect that modifies their generic counterparts will modify them as well. Like vanilla Regiments of Renown, these are only available to a single faction each campaign, the preference will be for player controlled factions but if no such faction exists, it’ll be the one specified in the monster’s entry. This mod is compatible with Mixu’s Legendary Lords, Legendary Characters, OvN Lost Factions: Albion, OvN Lost Factions: Citadel of Dusk and Wintertooth as a Greenskin Faction.

Frigustrex, Scion of the Cold Void
  • Costs 5460 gold to recruit and 1500 gold to maintain.
  • Can be recruited by playable Norscan factions at level 38. Player controlled factions must also finish his monster hunt.
  • Monstrous Arcanum and Monster Hunt quests have had their descriptions changed to match.
  • Still trying to figure out how to make him show up as one of the rewards for completing the hunt in the Monstrous Arcanum. No modder in Da Modding Den seems to know so it will likely be never.
  • If no player faction is a Norscan one, he will be in the Wintertooth RoR pool during both Realm of Chaos and Immortal Empires campaigns.

The Salzenmund Soul Eaters
  • Costs 6240 gold in custom battles. No cost or upkeep in campaign.
  • Can be recruited by playable Beastmen factions when a lord reaches Level 44.
  • Unlike all other Regiments of Renown, two can be recruited instead of one.
  • If no player faction is a Beastmen one, they will be in the Warherd of the One Eye RoR pool in Immortal Empires and Manblight Tribe pool in Realm of Chaos.

Traygard Mountain-Cleaver
  • Costs 5200 favor to recruit and 1700 favor to maintain.
  • Can be recruited by the Warriors of Chaos when a lord reaches level 36.
  • Changed his quest ability so that it no longer activates automatically.
  • If no player faction is a Warriors of Chaos one, then he will be in the Warband of the Apocalypse RoR pool in Immortal Empires campaigns and The Ecstatic Legion pool in Vortex campaigns.

Blorgar the Mad Titan
  • Costs 6240 gold to recruit and 1250 gold to maintain unless playing as the Beastmen.
  • Can be recruited by playable Greenskins, Beastmen, Warriors of Chaos, Norscans, Ogres and Albion factions when a lord reaches level 42. Norscan factions controlled by a player must finish his monster hunt as an additional requirement.
  • Monstrous Arcanum and Monster Hunt quests have had their descriptions changed to match.
  • He does show up as a reward in the UI of the Monstrous Arcanum.
  • While Blorgar is clearly a greenskins giant, the giants available to every faction are just reskins of each other which is why I feel he can justifiably be recruited by the Beastmen, Warriors of Chaos, Norscans, Ogres and Albion.
  • The only RoR that can be in two locations at once in campaign since the Beastmen one is technically a different unit according to the game engine, which had to be done or else he would have had Upkeep cost in the Beastmen. If no Greenskin, Warriors of Chaos, Norscan, Ogre or Albion faction is player controlled then he will be in the Grimgor’s Ardboyz RoR pool in Immortal Empires and Realm of Chaos campaigns. If no Beastmen faction is player controlled then he will be in the Warherd of the One-Eye RoR pool in Immortal Empires campaigns and the Manblight Tribe RoR pool in Realm of Chaos campaigns.

Radixashen, Serpent of the World Roots
  • Costs 5200 gold to recruit and 1700 gold to maintain.
  • Can be recruited by playable Wood Elf factions and The Knights of Caledor when a lord reaches level 36.
  • If no player controls one of the above listed factions then he will be in the Talsyn RoR pool in Immortal Empires and the Laurelorn RoR pool in Realm of Chaos campaigns.

The Abyssal Shrieker
  • Costs 9100 dark magic to recruit and 2950 dark magic to maintain.
  • Can be recruited by playable Vampire Counts and Vampire Coast factions when a lord reaches level 48.
  • If no player controls one of the above listed factions then he will be in the Drakenhof Conclave RoR pool.

Mother of the Flame
  • Costs 4420 gold to recruit and 1200 gold to maintain.
  • Can be recruited by playable High Elf factions when a lord reaches level 32.
  • Has been given the Attuned to Magic ability that she doesn’t possess in the base game. I think she doesn’t have it in the base game due to her quest battle not containing any mages on her side.
  • Her bound spells have been given bullet points that advise the player on how to use them and what they do.
  • If no player controls a High Elf faction then she will be in the Avelorn RoR pool in Immortal Empires campaigns and the Knights of Caledor RoR pool in Realm of Chaos.

Gargantulzan
  • Costs 6500 gold to recruit and 1350 gold to maintain.
  • Can be recruited by playable Lizardmen factions and The Thousand Maws when a lord reaches level 46.
  • If no player controls one of the above listed factions then he will be in the Hexoatl RoR pool in Immortal Empires and the Spawn of Tepok RoR pool in Realm of Chaos.

The Beast of Raema
  • Costs 5980 gold to recruit and 1350 gold to maintain.
  • Can be recruited by playable Dark Elf and Greenskins factions when a lord reaches level 40.
  • His Fiery Head and Regenerating Head abilities have been given bullet points that advise the player on how to use them and what they do.
  • His Insane Head is now an activated ability instead of an automatically activating one.
  • If no player controls one of the above listed factions then he will be in the Naggaroth RoR pool in Immortal Empires and Grimgor’s Ardboyz RoR pool in Realm of Chaos.

The Hellbeast of Seep-Gore
  • Costs 5200 gold to recruit and 1500 gold to maintain.
  • Can be recruited by playable Skaven factions when a lord reaches level 34.
  • His Stormvermin summons are now temporary units like every other summon.
  • If no player controls a Skaven faction then he will be in the Clan Mors RoR pool in Immortal Empires and the Clan Rictus RoR pool in Realm of Chaos.

Brood Queens of Karak Azul
  • Does not become a Regiment of Renown. The "boss" of this hunt is a swarm of Arachnarok Spiders with the centerpiece general being identical to the already recruitable Arachnarok Queen.
