Hello fans of Scipion!

I was working on a Sarthorael/Azrik mod myself when I learned of Scipion's great work here.
I've asked Scipion if I could revive some of it and after he gave his blessing I've produced this mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1912009264

Enjoy!

Any alternative mods to unlock Sarthorael in ME?

@Scipion I hope you'll find someone eager to take it on :)

Hi Everyone, sorry for the inconvenience caused by this mod. I don't currently intend to update this but I'll leave it here if another modder wants to take it on.

Just a PSA for people using this mod: it seems that it breaks many (if not all) triggered events, including campaign chapters, item quests, and various aspects of several factions (like the new Imperial mechanics). There are awkward workarounds for some of it (returning from the pre-battle UI to the campaign map via retreat or besiege/encircle sometimes gets new events/quests that should be triggering to actually do so), but it doesn't seem to always work, and it isn't viable for turn-start events. It's a shame, would be nice to see it updated/fixed, but I guess until then I'll be playing without Sarthorael. Just thought I'd put this info here for any experiencing this issue. Hope it helps.

update please?

it does not work for me

@Scipion Any chance your going to update this mod? Also as of right now when I play a Mortal Empires campaign with this mod the chapter bonuses don't work, might want to look into that.

Did this ever get updated to work with a skaven campaign?

Can you ask Mixu's to put your mod on his unlocker so we can start a campaign with Sarthorael?

After many hours trying to figure out what was bugging my friends and I co op campaign, can confirm this bugs Skaven Ikit's doom rockets. Unfortunate Skaven/Chaos campaign would be a lot more fun with my favorite Chaos Lord :(

I can confirm just for anyone looking to debug a bugged Skaven campaign specifically, for some reason this mod messes with the warp fuel/doom rocket/workshop advancement, so yeah as you say @Scipion disable if not playing chaos campaign.

@Elmis66 Unfortunalely you can't with this mod. Sarthorael recruitable is linked to the event of his defeat. There is always a way to do what you ask, but I don't really have time to mod this right now.

@Scipion "do you know if it's possible to recruit him if I already defeated Sarthorael in my Chaos campaing? " I'm back after around 100 turns and still not able to recruit Sarthorael. Do you have any idea how to trigger the recruitment availability if I defeated him already? Or maybe change the code to let player recruit him without that event and upload as an alternative version? :)

@Scipion allright will do just that

thanks for the mod very much though it is a good one

not really much I can do, my mod is but a few line of code. It's best to disable it while not playing Chaos.

@Scipion aah so you are the one who is quilty for me not getting kroak

in all seriousness there is nothing you can do to fix it?

not a big problem just wondering

@Mathias Yes something like that was reported by some users.

@Scipion

when you say main quests breaking what do you mean with that one?

that it will break stuff like the kroak quest battle?

Im only asking because it seems like by the time I get Sarthorael, ill be done with the chaos campaign. So having him available closer to the start would be a lot of fun. Thanks

when does sarthoreal appear, when playing as chaos? is there a companion mod that makes him unlockable in the style of unlcoking the other chaos lords?

Thanks for the update sorry to hear that but I get it.

@Elmis66 it did work for someone else not too long ago

I kinda deleted the mod by mistake. But as I don't have time to support it anymore, someone else (Militus Immortalis) will post it back.

Hi, do you know if it's possible to recruit him if I already defeated Sarthorael in my Chaos campaing? I tried ending my turn to check if the lord list would refresh but he's not there :(

Hey man just wondering what happened to the main recruit defeated lord mod not angry or anything like that just wondering.

just had him spawn and my question answered itself. It works! (yey)

Heyyy, one question, does the mod work if you install it midway in your chaos campaign (but before defeating the lord of chaos)?

The mod is finally updated.

@odiemitchell not sure how this mod would impact anything. The effective code in my script seems very limited. In any case, there is no point running this mod if playing another faction than Chaos.

This is the mod that causes problems with skaven Doomrockets not being removed from the counter making it impossible to upgrade the Forbidden Workshop.

I solved the Issue with other mods by adding all mod datas into the data file of warhammer 2

update please

I wish I could, it seems the mod manager has some other idea. I can't update for the moment.

In anycase, my modification is only a script, you can force it to load.

hey would an update be possible since the new patch please? :>

yeah, it would have been too easy, but had to try!

@Scipion Well after trying to simply copy it, it appears to not work. And unfortunately I have no idea how to mod Warhammer. Oh well, maybe someone will do it some day! Thanks anyway for making it!

@LVP Glad you like it :-)

I'm not really setup for modding TWW1, but I have no objection if someone wants to take my script and use it. Honestly, it would either works right of the bat or not at all. You could just copy the .pack file in the TWW1 data folder and see what happens.

@Scipion I see. The reason I prefer your mod is because yours rewards winning against Sarthorael and his Hordes by submitting him to you, while the other mod simply deactivates the event altogether. Yours is more, let's say lore-friendly. Besides, there's still that bug with the other mod that removes Sarthorael's title for another generic one when leveling him.

@LVP I don't see why not. However, I have no clue if the function I use in this mod is available for TWW1. I haven't really looked at the mod for TWW1, it might still work though, not sure you would need to port mine.

Hey, amazing mod I must say!

I have an odd question however. I saw you post on the TWW1 mod that added Sarthorael, and I was wondering if there was a possibility to port your mod from TWW2 to TWW1?
Of course I'm not asking you to do it, as no one would make content for a previous game, it's logical, I was just curious if it was possible technically?

Neat! Hoping something is doable here.

Yeah, that's a little on the low side indeed. Let me check that.

Yes, it seems limited to chaos, the most you get is a level 3 boost. So instead of starting out at 1, you start at 3.

@Shadow_Ordo you have a point, it sure is feasible. However, and it's been some time so I can't recall if it applies to Chaos, but most factions have buildings or other means to boost experience of newly recruited lords. Those would apply to him.

Hi there, thanks for making this character unlocked, i went looking for a Greater Daemon Unlock chaos mod a week ago and this proved to be the only solid choice.

I was wondering however, what are your thoughts to giving Sarthorael some starting level boost in someway? Given his unlock requirements is first beating him as seperatist faction, which occurs around turn 150, that is very late game to start a new lord at level 2-3 (depending on chaos faction tech bonuses). I don't want to suggest anything crazy OP or high level, but i figure a 5-8 level starting boost is fair given that its already considered mid-late game by turn 150.

Skill tree overhaul for this mod:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1702356729

Wait for modder to release an update to make these who mods compatible.

He appears after you defeat his faction. His faction emerges turn 80 to 120, depending on your progress.

What event/when does he appear by chance?

You might not need a new game anymore, the script has been moved in a way that should work mid-campaign. Let me know if it works.
