BigG’s Hand of the Shadow Crown
Expands CA’s original Hand of the Shadow Crown to be embeddable into armies, to have an fitting skill tree and to be recruitable by all High Elf factions.
What this mod does
This mod expands CA’s original work on the Hand of the Shadow Crown (HotSC) available for Alith Anar’s faction, Nagarythe.
- HotSC recruitable from any building where Shadow Warriors can be recruited (tier 3 barracks for all High Elf factions, and Aesanar Camp for Nagarythe)
- HotSC has a fitting skill tree which mirrors and expands upon other assassins in the game.
- HotSC can be embedded into armies and fight on the battlefield.
- All CA existing functions for the HotSC remain. Can be summoned through the Invocation of Morai-Heg. Can perfectly assassinate any character on the campaign map (and "disappears" too).
- HotSC statistics are slightly adjusted down from CA’s implementation to be a lesser version of Alith Anar.
- HotSC hero capacity can be increased +1 if you decide to keep it alive to level 20.
- For 40 influence, you can recruit HotSC with the Cunning trait!
What this mod does not do
- Does not add a new unit.
- Does not add new variants, models or art.
- Does not add building modifications to HotSC hero capacity or recruit rank.
Compatablility
The mod is designed to be optimised and clean, it should work with any mod that does not change anything related to CA’s HotSC.
- Double Skill Points & Skill Dump by Alex Zhao has been tested and proven to work. Presciently he included CA’s HotSC!
- GLF Nagarythe Remake by 金花 has been tested and proven to work. Presciently he used the spy hero type for his similar HotSC so you can benefit from the cap increases to recruit more of my HotSC. You can choose between hiring his or mine, no problem.
Updates & Reuse
I am not intending to update this mod, or to take change requests from the community. Please feel free to reuse this mod, change it, republish it without any need for permission. All I ask is that you kindly credit me.
