Description
OUTDATED - I GRANT PERMISSION FOR OTHER MODDERS TO UPDATE/ADAPT THIS MOD TO NEW PATCHES

Welcome to Unit Lore & Miscellany! This small mod adds flavour text every unit in the game (200+ units!). Like the Age of Wonders III flavor text, these are small lore fragments attached to each unit that evoke certain aspects of their mechanics, lore or background. This mod both features many original texts, and some adapted from earlier Age of Wonders games when fitting.

Please note that this mod will be incompatiable with anything that edits vanilla units. As such, compatibility patches WILL be required for these mods. However, I also allow other modders to fully incoporate this mod into their own mods to avoid this issue (so long as they credit this original mod). Please treat it both as a mod, and a modders resource.

Additionally, Unit Lore & Miscellany has built-in support for the following mods if they are placed UNDER Unit Lore & Miscellany in your load order:

Death Bringers Resurrected, Elemental Tomes, Tome of Severing Tweaks

Credits are given to Knave and Thyrork for contributing text to this mod.

No worries, just wanted to see if it was possible. Thanks for making such an awesome mod, installing it got be back into AOW4 again!

Hi @Zarathustra. The computer I was using to mod AoW IV broke, and the laptop I use atm is not powerful enough. I am unsure of when I will be able to afford a new one.

As I cannot even really open the modding tools, it is hard for me to provide guidance I'm sorry. Essentially, these descriptions were added with a custom unit property. You would need to open each unit's entry in the modding tools, remove any changes and re-add it.

This mod is hard to keep updated as when changes are made to units by patches, the mod's changes need to be cleared and the unit property re-applied.

I am sorry I cannot be of more aid. I cannot even afford a device powerful enough to mod atm, so I wish I could be of more help.

I'm also willing to learn how to do it myself but I've never modded anything lol. I'd even be willing to pay someone to update and include new descriptions for the new units, that's how much I love this mod.

Anyone thinking of updating this mod? Game is unplayable without unit lore.

since recent update, for some reason, this mod unlocks Infernal Juggernaut at Tier 4 for every faction.

BTW, this mod works in mid game and without any of the DLC so far. I did receive a warning about potentially crashing my game, but so it's running ok.

Thank you for saving my game! It just wasn't Age of Wonders without these. You are my hero.

Thanks for the mod! Can I add it to the current game (mid-game). Will it disable Steam achievements?

This really is a beautiful mod.

Mods that ADD units should be okay (they just won't have lore text). Mods that EDIT units in the base game will also be okay, but their changes will overwrite this mod and the lore text will be lost.
