Favored Drakes

Description
Adds sacred variants of the various "Drake" summons to some nations. Somewhat thematic in what nations gets it, and largely colored by what factions I waffle around with. I should probably expand what nations get what kinds of Sacred Drakes in the future, but that'll be based on feedback.

A 'Sacred' variant of a Drake has +1 Magic Resistance, +2 Morale, is sacred, and loses Undisciplined compared to the regular fare of Drake.

This mod was inspired by a little known youtuber and this particular video of his making: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQGueGvNkiw

The mod comes with three options and preferably use just one of them:
- Regular Edition, same magic paths to summon as vanilla Drake spells but a bit costlier.
- Holy-er Edition, still a bit costlier than vanilla Drakes but the magic paths needed for the rituals are changed to suit mage-priests better with a lower magic path level but requiring a holy level of one. Worse for some nations, such as MA Caelum, but better for some such as EA Tir na n'Og.
- Unleashed Edition, same as Holy-er Edition in that they are summonable by Mage-Priests only, but without restrictions as to what nations they are available to. This means they are also available for modnations!

v1.1 Changes:
- Increased cost of rituals by somewhere around 35% to 50%, to make them less of a straight upgrade to regular Drakes. Should still be worthwhile if you can stack Drake summon boosting items though.
- Added an optional variant of the mod that also changes the magic paths needed for the rituals to have a lower primary path level but now requires holy level 1 to perform. This variant is good for some nations, such as EA Tir na n'Og, but worse for others such as MA Caelum. Of course, this does also come with the caveat that Dragon Pretenders can't cast them anymore.

v1.2 Changes:
- Added Sacred Ice Drakes to Tir na n'Og and Eriu
- Added Sacred Swamp Drakes to Ur and Uruk

v1.3 Changes:
- 'Sacred Storm Drakes' added to EA/MA Pyrené for Main Mod and Holy-er Edition
- New 'Unleashed Edition' variant, same as Holy-er Edition for path requirements to summon, but without ANY national restrictions! This makes it compatible with modnations!

- Fixed availability of Swamp Drakes for MA Uruk for Main Mod and Holy-er Edition

There's an argument to be made that TNN should have sacred storm drakes, but it's iffy. TNN is in kind of a weird state where it's a glamour nation but the mythology it draws on sees the Tuatha doing a lot more magic about weaving storms than illusions, so whether they should have storm drakes depends on whether you lean more towards their inspirations or their present implementation.

Tiny patch, corrects a faulty nation selection. MA Uruk now have access to Sacred Swamp Drakes, as was my original intent.

The thumbnail for this mod is perfect.

Oh and I might as well make it v1.3 proper as someone just told me that Pyrené was missing 'Sacred Storm Drakes', and given their whole lore about Mother of Storms I am inclined to agree with that being a thematic fit.
Main Mod and Holy-er Edition have thus been updated to make Sacred Storm Drakes available to Pyrené(Both).

I hope people have fun with this goofy mod! :HappyMask:

You know what, Helef? Thats a fair point! I have now pushed out an update with another variant of the mod;
'Unleashed Edition', which has the same path restrictions as Holy-er Edition(reduced primary path level, but added Holy 1 secondary path), but without ANY national restrictions! This should make them all available to every nation, including mod nations!

id like to use your mod with the sombre warhammer mod. so would you be so kind and make a submod for changing all the drakes? i mean, that every nation whould benefit from this?

i like your idea;-)

There we go, I've now added Sacred Ice Drakes to Tir na n'Og, and Eriu as well for good measure.
Also took the opportunity to add Sacred Wamp Drakes to Ur and Uruk. Can't believe I forgot to do this for two of my own favorite nations.
Burden of Brine  [author] 6 Feb, 2024 @ 3:05am 
Yeah, I'll go ahead and add Ice Drakes to Tir na n'Og sometime in the near future then.

Ice Drakes wouldn't be unfluffy for them, with Seelie/Unseelie Fey summons in 6. At least 50% of TNN players are going to be summoning lots of Frosty Fey.

Alright, made a small update to the mod;
- Raised cost of the rituals to make them less straight upgrades to vanilla Drakes.
- Added alternate mod that changes the paths around, making them more suitable for mage-priests to perform. Sadly it does mean Dragon Pretenders can't summon them anymore. But thats for the alternate mod, the primary mod is still there.
