Ye Olde Skool Gotrek and Felix! (Please read description)

Description
Regarding The Thrones of Decay Gotrek and Felix Update:

It's come to my attention that with Thrones of Decay, Gotrek and Felix are getting a major update and overhaul.
For those who are unaware, here's a video about it, courtesy of Great Book of Grudges: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QweBYRkO6og
Tl;dr however, the official CA Gotrek and Felix are both going to be separate and independent legendary heroes (along the lines of The Blue Scribes and Harald Hammerstorm) that are permanently in your roster: no more in-and-out, plus they both have fully fleshed out skill trees. There's even a quest battle you have to fight to get them on your side.

With so much going into this pair, I think a lot of people will probably prefer what's coming. Therefore, barring demand, I will likely be abandoning this mod. Provided other people don't beat me to it, I will see what I can do to keep the spirit of this mod alive and simply allow the factions that can recruit them in this mod (Empire, Dwarves, High Elves, Wood Elves, Bretonnia, Tomb Kings, Lizardmen, Kislev and Cathay) to recruit the improved vanilla versions.

Description:

It's back and better than ever! The old skool hero version of Gotrek and Felix originally made by the great Shawmuscle and Kaleeb is back!

Like before, this mod makes Gotrek and Felix a single hero unit that levels up and otherwise functions like a normal hero unit, albeit with two models instead of one.
Eight factions (Empire, Dwarves, High Elves, Bretonnia, Lizardmen, Wood Elves, Tomb Kings, and Cathay) all in one easy-to-use package! No more multiple mods; just one mod!
This mod, when activated, will suppress the normal spawning of the DLC Gotrek and Felix.

Please unsubscribe from the old mods and subscribe to this one. The old mods will not be updated, and will be pulled entirely from the workshop in the near future.

Features:
--Brian Blessed
--No Turn Limits
--Full Array of Skills and Items
--Hero Unit Available to 8(9) factions, while being limited to only the player.
--Brian Blessed

How to get them:
They are recruited like normal heroes.
--Empire, Bretonnia and Dwarves get them from their tavern/public order buildings.
--High Elves, Lizardmen and Tomb Kings get them from any Port building.
--Tomb Kings can also get them from Lahmia.
--Wood Elves get them from any Tree Settlement.
--Cathay get them in the closest thing I could think of for a "Bar" for Cathay
They will be under the normal hero recruitment panel under the following tabs:
Empire: Empire Captain
Dwarves: Thanes
Bretonnia: Paladins
Wood Elves: Branchwraiths (Don't ask me why they ended up there, but they did).
High Elves: Nobles
Lizardmen: Saurus Scar-Veteran
Tomb Kings: Tomb Princes
Cathay: Gate Master

What It Could Use:
--Screenshots! Got some awesome screenshots? I'm on Da Modding Den! Send them to me and I may just add them!

Radius Submod! Right here! Thanks to LuminousClarity!
Skill Dump can be found here!
Chinese localization! Right here! Thanks to To Infinity and Beyond!
Enhanced Vanilla-Esque Mechanics! Right here! Thanks to Meuhoua!

--The mod is set up in a way that it should allow for any of the above listed cultures to get the heroes, regardless of the faction. It should be, by default, compatible with unlockers and legendary lord mods. Thanks to Mixu for that.
--Have one for your language/favorite mod? Let me know, and I'll post it here!

Special Thanks:
Big thanks to Hooveric for helping me out with a screwy campaign portal.
Big thanks to King Brian for helping me out with a variant mesh issue what even the Chaos Gods would have feared.
Big thanks to Jaiden for helping me figure out how to automatically give stuff at certain levels.

I still like your take on the duo better than the new and improved CA take. They really should be one unit. Regardless, thank you very much for many hours of fun with Ye Old Skool G and F. I remember the joy of soloing armies and defending settlements in hopeless battles. You really captured the magic of the books.

I haven't updated the mod, and I've had a hard time trying to "adapt" something more modern. It's rather discouraging, and I doubt at this point I'll ever finish. If this mod works with the modern game I have no clue though.

So little update here: a desire to jump back into TWW3 combined with things quieting down a bit for me has allowed me to start work on the "spiritual successor" to this mod. In short, it'll allow the new Gotrek and Felix, along with Ulrika, to be recruitable by all the listed factions in the old mod (Make what you will of Ulrika being recruitable by the Tomb Kings). So far, I think it'll be script-based so it'll be easier and less work to keep up-to-date going forward and won't require compatibility to work with things like SFO or Radious.

@tristincv I've pretty much retired this mod, so I won't be updating it.

5.2 wrecked everything again. Any chance of an update?
