Domino's Dwarf Mod

Domino's Dwarf Mod

Introduction
Let me start with my appreciation to previous modders I have built upon, including the Forge mod and Weapon balance mods from COE4, and every dwarf mod in the workshop for COE4 & 5 which I have in the very least looked at for ideas, and sometimes grabbed what I like.

This mod adds additional Units, Commanders and Rituals to the Dwarf Queen class. While I made this mod for my own use, I have been thinking of sharing it for some time. This initial version should be considered a “Beta” test, as my intent is to get it out for testing in a less refined state; and iterate towards perfection rather than never publish it.


Changes

• Agartha: Additional resources spawned in Agartha including gem deposits and lost libraries. There will also be a great deal more Earth Elementals roaming around down there. Gem and Iron deposits in Agartha flagged as lesser mines to avoid Dwarf income penalty.


• Dwarf Queen starting units include Sappers & Dwarf Councilor
• Dwarf commanders can now tunnel
• Outdoor Dwarfs gain snowstealth
• Numerous Dwarvern commanders & enchanted units now “Blessed”.
• Three tiers of Dwarvern Councilor available, with new rituals. Councilors are upgraded by Dvalas, each level grows stronger in Dwarf magic and learns new
• Chosen of Davlins gain combat spells
• Councilor Magic
Level 1
o Found Colony (default)
o Build Ballista

Level 2
o Reopen Mine (Turns abandoned mine into Iron Mine)
o Build Dwarvern Ship (builds a ship on an adjacent water square)

Level 3
o Return to Queen (Returns army to capital citadel)


• Runesmiths now created with Rubies instead of Diamonds. Additional tier 3 of Runesmiths specialized in Earth, Fire or Frost and gains corresponding combat magic at rank 2. Runesmiths can create magic items, and at the new third tiers can improve runes on enchanted dwarves (Blessing mechanic used). Frost Runesmiths have snow stealth, spread cold and can enchant mountains into freezing mountains that spread cold. Fire Runesmiths are given "Fast" trait allowing them to enchant as they move with Armies. Earth Runesmiths can summon Earth Elementals, passwall and scry around themselves in Agartha.

Level 1 - Creating an item will level up the Runesmith to Elder Runesmith. Runesmiths that have already leveled up will create items at reduced prices.

Level 3
o Choose consort (Tier 3 councilors)

• Boots of the mountain give snow movement. To do: create a better balanced item for non-dwarves to get snow and mountain movement.

• Weapon changes for enchanted weapons.

To do/Known Issues
• Better documentation of changes
• Sprites for Tier 3 unit enchantments needed
• In game descriptions of Rituals
• Cleanup and commenting of Mod files
• Sappers should get enchanted with Weapon enchantments before Arbalests
• Balance pass: Blessing improvement costs. Item creation costs and effects.
• AI hints - AI may spam create item spells and not transfer items to better commanders
• Look into making “Custom Events” faster between turns
• Starting units may not take effect on subsequent new games. Close and Reopen COE5 before creating a new game to ensure the starting unit changes take effect.
• Maybe give Pale ones something to survive earth elementals in Agartha. (Grumbles in dwarf)
