JR's Old World Skill Overhaul

This mod is aimed at updating all Old World skill trees for Total War: Warhammer 2, bringing them in-line with the new race's skill trees.

Creator's Note: Despite CA bringing Old World lords closer to their New World counterparts with various updates, they're still behind. This mod will continue to add small things to Old World lords to make them more interesting and "competitive" with their newer counterparts.

• Updated Campaign Effects Tree: All Old World Lord blue skill trees have had some adjustments to be brought in line with TW:WH2's standard. Some racial campaign skills moved to Unique Skills section.
  
• Reorganized Unique Skills: Updated the organization of Unique Skills so they're on the second line rather than first line. Warhammer 2 lords are like this and it reduces clutter/increases clarity of what's special to a lord.
  
• Venerate the Anscestors: Dwarf Lords may now choose to venerate a single ancestor, providing unique bonuses.
  
• Mixu's Gods of the Empire: Mixu's God's of the Empire mod has been integrated into my mod. Thanks Mixu!
  
• Orc Tribes: Orc Warbosses and Goblin Great Shamans can choose a tribal region they originally hailed from, providing a unique bonus.
  
• Skill Adjustments: Some adjustments to some skills. Example:: Ancesteral Grudges now provides damage bonuses against different races.

I'm working on a proper, complete list.

This mod is currently not compatible with Steel Faith Overhaul. When it is I will put a link here. Here's the old one: Steel Faith Overhaul Patch

• (Notice: Compatibility needs to be tested) Was compatible with these mods, unknown currently. Cataph's Southern Realms,
  Cataph's Kraka Drak and Mixu's Legendary Lords.
  
• Even if you don't own Game 1, these skill changes will apply to Game 1 races in the Vortex Campaign.
  
• I highly recommend starting a new game. Any skills that have been replaced (such as the entire Red Line/Battle Effects tree) won't be skilled anymore, so it isn't really save game compatible. It'll still work mind you.
  
• Any mods that alter the layout of the skill tree won't be compatible. Any mods that only affect the stats of skills should still work.
  
• Units added by other mods will not get the Rank 7 skill bonuses. However, it is very easy for them to add compatibility to my mod. Add my unit_sets_tables table into your mod, rename it, then add an entry into your mod's unit_set_to_unit_junctions_tables for the set that your unit should appear in.

- Add additional "god choices" skills to other races, like what I did for the Dwarfs. Might not be god related, it will depend on each faction's lore.

I'd love to hear feedback on the balancing of my custom skills! Please use the discussion forum for that however, so the comment section won't be a mess.

If the mod doesn't work (because the launcher is buggy with downloading sometimes), I'll try and manually keep a version of the mod at this link[www.dropbox.com]. Simply drop the files into your "\Total War WARHAMMER II\data" folder and you're good to go! Make sure you click the "enable outdated mods" checkbox to enable this mod when installing manually/without steam.
