Frost Specialization

Description
Inspired by the White Walkers of Game of Thrones and the Frostlings of Age of Wonders III, this mod adds the Frost specialization which is a mix of the cold and ice related skills found in the Air and Water specializations, without including unrelated ones. Like almost all other specializations, there is an adept level of specialization and a master one. Lore-wise, this specialization is about cold Air, which can freeze water by thermal conductivity. This is why the mana bonus is related to Air nodes and not Water ones.

Note
To avoid duplicated skills, this specialization can't be mixed with Air and Water ones.

Frost Adept Skills
– Air Node Mana Bonus
– Domain of Winter
– Freeze Water
– Vengeful Frost

Frost Master Skills
– Air Afffinity
– Arctic Empire
– Great Hail
– Summon Frost Elemental
– Transform To Air Node

Fully supported languages
– English
– French

Why this mod?
I made this mod because I was a bit disappointed with not being able to fully specialize in cold and ice related skills as those are dispatched in four levels of specialization while we only have three specialization slots.

Known bugs
There is only one known very minor bug (if you don't exploit it) common to all specializations and which seems to be already present in the vanilla game: when customizing a leader, if you select an adept and then the related master specialization, and then remove the adept one, and then press Back, and then press Customize New again without selecting another leader, the master specialization will be selected again, without the adept one, and all the restrictions with other specializations will be disabled.

Unknown bugs
I don't expect any bug but if you find one please report it.

Hello! This mod should be compatible with anything. It only adds (duplicates) content, it doesn’t modify any base game element.

Hello! Are these specialization mods compatiable with other specialization mods? :)

Absolutely ridiculous that in vanilla the Arctic Empire spell is under Master of Air.

I appreciate this mod.

This is exactly what I needed. I was annoyed at having to choose between air/water master for my Ice wizard and then missing out on thematic spells, while gaining some I'd never use.

Only 3 adept spells?

I really like the idea behind this mod, and the spell selection is on-point, but I don't like the idea of repeated spells in different specializations. I suggest replacing the repeated spells in air and water with other spells. For example, replacing summon frost elemental with summon water elemental. Naturally, this would involve creating new spells, which might be tricky. If yu decide to go this route, you could make two versions of this mod: one with the replacements and one without.

Also: great hail could really use a buff, it's so unreliable.

Hi Auphilia, I didn't change how this spell is working at all and I won't change it because it's not the purpose of this mod and because I don't know how to do it anyway, sorry.

Hello, the great hail spell randomly targets hexes that may or may not be occupied by enemies/allies. So 80% of the time no one gets hit by it, and if it does it, it's 50% as likely to hit your own troops than the enemy.

I recommend forcing this spell to target random enemies, similar to the Prismatic Spire defense the Elves can make.

When I only got into the skirmish mode, first race I ever made was necromancer frostlings, because of White Walkers exactly. Oh snap!

You're welcome! :)

As for people disliking Nexus, I can't talk for everyone (especially because, in fact, most of people like it and aren't aware of the following points) but to make it short:

1. They have crappy (public and premium) servers while they are selling "premium" membership which isn't better in almost any way.

2. Lack of security (malwares and viruses have been found multiple times) and user informations (including passwords) have been hacked multiple times.

3. The owner/admin, Robin Scott (aka Dark0ne), which is now 30 years old, acts like a little capricious kid and has no respect at all for the customers. He insulted them multiple times in his official communication for different "reasons" (people using AdBlock for example). He is also very hypocrite on many subjects.
