Magic And Traits

Hello!

In WH3 the Magic and Trait systems saw some pretty large changes, This mod makes some changes to those changes.

Overview: The point of this mod is to increase magic usage and to make traits more unique and interesting, without being completely game breaking (although abuse-able if you really stack it, just like wh2!!). Both AI and Player will receive these benefits, but mainly only the player will benefit from these changes.

Traits are on both heros and lords (including Cathay equivalents) and most traits can be stacked, perceptive reinforcement range does not stack.

Mod does not give infinite magic recharge rate, simply raises the cap so you can have higher magic pools like in WH2. I prefer this way so skills like arcane conduit and items like wand of jet can still serve a purpose.

Mod is save game friendly and able to be added and removed mid campaign.

Change list:

Base winds of Magic Cap changed to 150
Base Winds of magic minimum changed to 40

Magic Reserves Skill: gives +20 winds of magic to army, basically one more spell cast per caster.

Knowledgeable: Provides 10 winds of magic faction wide. Essentially like WH2 but stronger so you do not have to spend so much time trying to farm it to increase your magic pool. This bonus magic is not bugged like other magic gaining skills. yay!

Tactician: Adds 10% range to all units in army. Yes this can be abused by factions like dwarves and skaven who have a hero that can already increase range, but for the sake of playing other races, I feel 10% is a good number.

Discipline: Adds +5 melee attack, +5 Melee defense to all units in army. Essentially reverted back to wh2 effect.

Aggressive: weapon strength 15%, +20 charge bonus, All units in army gain vanguard deploy.

Tough: +7%HP, 25 armor, +10 melee defense, +5% army casualty replenishment rate (replenishment is mainly for factions without a hero that does this, such as bretonnia).

Strong: +15 Armor, +10 Melee attack, +20% Weapon Strength

Strategist: -8% local Enemy army movement Range, -5 Local enemy Leadership

Perceptive: +50% army reinforcement range. (this effect does not stack and maxes out at 50% hence the higher percentage) +33% Magic Item Drop Chance.

Confident: +10 Leadership all units in army.

Determined: +6% Campaign Movement range after wining a battle, +10% Speed All units in army.

Fleet Footed: +10% campaign movement range. The game has a natural cap to movement range built in; around double the starting amount when boosting movement via heroes. When used as a hero joining an army, the effect takes place at the start of the next turn. Trait will say Heroes army, but it will still work on lords.

Intelligent: -10% construction cost local province, -20% Construction time local province.

Weapon Master: +20 Melee attack, +100 Armor Piercing Damage.

High Elf Entrepreneur: 15% income from buildings in local province, 5% income from buildings faction wide.
Boosted income effect to 5% (up from 3% in wh2) because the way the effect is applied is less effective then how it was applied in WH2, so its increased to compensate.

Added similair modifications to some of the High Elf traits so they can join the fun too! There are an awful lot of high elf traits to list so play the game to find out! The High Elf traits Primed, Conductor, Negator all act as knowledgeable.

Hochland Scopes: 15% range to whole army, both lord and hero. Essentially reverted to original 5.0 release stats.

Warriors of Chaos and Chaos Dwarfs have similar effects.
Kislev Frost Maidens/Ice Witches now have similar effects.

Some Norsca traits have been modified due to trait spawns favoring Norsca specific traits over generic traits (makes it less tedious to get a good trait).


Special notes:
Thanks for checkin out my mod, even if you didn't subscribe

I made this mod shortly after WH3 first release for personal use. Originally it only changed the magic cap and knowledgeable + discipline skills. But as I played I figured, why not just change the other skills too? and so I did. I recently decided to publish my mods so that people who wanted to play the game like me could.

I do not plan on changing Race specific traits.

Here is a variant of the mod that only makes changes to winds of magic cap and Knowledgeable traits!
