Description
Welcome back, commanders! If you used this mod in Total War: Warhammer 2, then you know what the deal is. For everyone else, read on:


Some people restart a campaign until a starting character gets a good trait. This mod increases the chances that your favorite hero will start with a good trait. The numbers don't lie: instead of having to restart a campaign 20 times, at best you'll only have to restart 19 times.

* = This trait will only be considered if you're using my Storm of Derp mod.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Yes, this mod makes your favorite starting heroes immortal. But if you disband a hero, that's it. They're gone. It doesn't matter whether you have this mod. Disband Vlad von Carstein? Gone. Disband Isabella von Carstein? Gone. Don't disband a hero unless you want to get rid of them permanently! It also makes it so that you can't disband them accidentally.


MIKBAELA

Mikaela came all the way from Caledor to the middle of fudging nowhere and all she got for her trouble is Imrik making eyes at Meow Ying. Her rage is incandescent.


GRACEF CAOLSHEN

u/Grace_CA was the best community manager CA ever had, and we miss her. She's got a banhammer that works wonders against trolls... but she also proved that she don't give a flying fudge about Gobbla, so squigs die to a single shot in any battle she takes part in.


FUTURE CHANGES

If you would like any changes made to this mod, then you need to tell a story, and you better make it good.
I play X faction which starts with Y hero, and I really hope that hero gets Z trait.
or
I play X faction which starts with Y hero, and I really think that hero should be immortal.
If the starting hero isn't a named hero, then I don't care. This mod is for starting heroes only.

If you complain that a preferred starting trait should get a better than 5% boost, then the chance of your suggestion getting incorporated drastic go down.


COMPATIBILITY

This mod is partially save-game compatible:
  • With the exception of Grace's character, all other changes only take effect in a new campaign.
  • You can activate this mod anytime, but do not de-activate it unless you're going to start a new campaign!

This mod should be compatible with everything, however if you ask "Is it compatible with X?" the answer is "I have not tested it with X, therefore I do not know." Also if you ask that question without testing it yourself, I will probably mute you.

This mod is fully compatible with ChaosRobie's The Old World Campaign.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thank you very much to you, the subscriber, for making this mod possible. Also many thanks to the following who provided good ideas:

  • u/GuamJedi suggested
    • Mushroom-addicted for Skarsnik's Goblin Big Boss and Grom's Hag
    • Cunning for Snikch's Eshin Sorcerer
    • Spiteful for Malus's starting Master
    • Ariel's Chosen for Durthu's starting Branchwraith
  • oceansoul for suggested Devious for Emmanuelle Posner and Loremaster for Melissa Rahtep, the servants to Vlad and Isabella von Carstein, respectively.
  • .Dog with a Hat on a Nose suggested Mr. Blue Sky for Ra'tok.
  • Taiyoumaru explained that Cavill starting with Conductor would be sick af.
  • CaptAhab! suggested Pompous for Oracle of the Sacret Plaques.
  • HotPizza87 suggested Tough for Xakros'ka (not Xaxros'ka).
  • [FS] Kapitan Wolfgang asked for a way to make Mikaela always have Incendiary, which was the main inspiration for the Mikbaela mod.
  • Most of the changes to Gracef (new trait + new weapon) came from u/ConspicuousFlower's thread on reddit.
  • u/manpersal spotted that Mikaela incorrectly got the handmaiden Incendiary trait instead of the OG non-nerfed mage Incendiary trait.
  • Sleith (and Wolfgang again) suggested Unethical for Luktaz (not Lukhaz) the Bronze.
  • The Egg White of Humpty Dumpty suggested Chariot Master for Prince Nebbetthar.
  • RobbySin suggested Hochland Scopes for Lupio Gausser.
  • Falaris suggested Strong for Xakros'ka.
  • Lisan al Gaib suggested Temperamental for Zorak, Resistant for Venola, and Disciplined for Hagrene.
  • u/Zerak-Tul suggested Medic for Cavill, and Fecund for Joe Dal, Myriel, Obarmon, and Venola.

I like Itzi-Bitzi, who starts off with Incantation of Xetlipocutzl, which lowers the leadership of all enemy armies in the region by 5 and I think it would be funny to increase that effect a little bitzi by making him get pompous(or making him an itzi bitzi stronger by giving him higher chances for weapon master). :D

@Cinder - you are correct, Mr. Blue Sky is guaranteed like Mikaela's and Gracef's. All I can think is that you've got another mod that modifies Kroq-Gar's starting character before I can get my hands on them.

Got the mod after not having for a while and while all other traits seem to work just fine I can't seem to get the Mr. Blue Sky trait on Kroq-Gar's starting Skink Priest. I thought it was guaranteed like Mikaela getting Incendiary but after 11 restarts i'm yet to see it. Just wondering if my luck is terrible or something is wrong with that particular trait.

Is there an way to make the traits stay after mod removal?
LordOmlette  [author] 22 Nov, 2024 @ 4:09pm 
You spelled it Tempermental, the game shows it as Temperamental, and internally it's called Tempramental. Amazing work all around
Lisan al Gaib 21 Nov, 2024 @ 5:40pm 
The starting Taurruk in Disciples of Hashut - Tempermental trait.
LordOmlette  [author] 23 Jul, 2024 @ 1:00pm 
@Carnage for Khaine - I don't play Dark Elfs so y'all gotta recommend me what trait would work best for that supposedly named assassin
Carnage for Khaine 23 Jul, 2024 @ 12:58pm 
How about the khainite assassin from cult of pleasure faction? He got a name
Quickpawmaud 1 Jun, 2024 @ 5:24pm 
Seconded on Conventional Tommy
Kompetenzfrosch 31 May, 2024 @ 4:39pm 
Could you give Tom Phillipson of Karaz-a-Karak the "Conventional" trait?
