BM Alternative Miscast

Alternative Miscast - Major Unit Disruption with No Damage

• Provides you with an alternative miscast for all Lores of Magic and their Spells to provide a more interesting and impactful experience to miscasting. Both you and the AI will have this alternative miscast. The only spell excluded is the Dark Elves Soul Stealer spell, as it has 100% miscast and its own specific miscast to deal with healing.
  
• If you liked the idea of this mod but find it too extreme, check out my
  Alternative Miscast Nerfed mod variant.

• [Design Issue] Due to the animations provided to the cavalry units, they are only slightly knocked back, while flying units are not affected. I have tried a variety of methods to change this but have not been able to find a solution.
  
• [Bug] Sometimes random individual characters or some models within the blast radius will be unaffected. Tried playing around with a few values to stop this from occurring but so far it is something that is just going to happen from time to time. I like to think of these individuals as being more magically attuned or resistant.

• Works in any game mode.
  
• Save Game Compatible and can be removed at any time.
  
• As long as none of the mods you have alter miscasts specifically, this will work with any other mods.

Overall, this is a recreation of my TWW1 mod that I created when I found the default miscasting to be rather boring and uninteresting on the battlefield. So, I considered changing the miscasts to be more like the tabletop and was disappointed to find that miscasting was very limited. So, I then focused on making miscasting directly impact the battlefield.

Therefore, this MOD makes it so whenever someone miscasts, no damage is taken, but any units within a decent radius around the wizard will be blasted away, excluding cavalry, flying units and some very big units that cannot be knocked over. With that said, it does knock down troll sized creatures, giants and varghulfs.

• [Skill Based Change in Difficulty] With the change to miscasting, a poorly timed miscast could spell doom for your forces, but a well timed one could keep the enemy at bay or heavily disrupt their forces. Thus, depending on how you adapt to the use of this mod, it could make battles easier or more difficult.

For anyone interested in modding or would like to make a variant of this Mod please check out the Change Notes for details about how I made this mod. I did this to improve the readability of my Mod description but still wanted to provide modding details for those who are interested.
