Do you think you will ever make a version of this mod for WHIII? I really loved using these black dragons (and your other mods) in WHII so im wondering what your plans are for them

@Darkstrand shit only just seen your reply! Thanks dude! Fucking love this reskin!

@Mortarch of Blood I've clicked update multiple times in the CA launcher and it hasn't changed the date so far but I just launched the game and loaded into a battle with this mod and it was working fine a few moments ago. You should be good

WOW!

I think I have the same issue, won't detect my mods (the ones I've subbed and the ones I've made) then when they do appear they take ages uploading, if they upload at all...
They'll probably tell you to go to the beta tab in properties and select something that says launcher.
It reverts it back to a previous one but apparently the game doesn't like that and freaks out...modding eh! lol

@Neferata13 for some reason I cannot update this via the CA Launcher - I get an error each time that I try. I've also tried to upload a newer version of the .pack file as an entirely new mod and that does not work either. I have contacted CA support but do not have a solution yet. Also have asked for and if anyone else is having this issue on modding discord groups that I am a part of. Hopefully I can overcome these obstacles soon..I'm working on a lot of new stuff and it's pretty disappointing that I cannot update or add them through CA official launcher channel
Ciaphas Cain 10 Jun, 2020 @ 11:25am 
How's the progress on this dude?
Darkstrand  [author] 29 May, 2020 @ 8:48pm 
@Neferata13 Will do! Working on this one and updating my older ones both tonight and throughout this weekend
Ciaphas Cain 29 May, 2020 @ 4:22pm 
Brilliant! Looking forward to seeing that Darkstrand, dragons make this game for most people so should be good seeing it in action. IF I can get workshop to behave, I'll throw a link up on my mods once you've updated! Just gimme a shout when :)
Darkstrand  [author] 28 May, 2020 @ 7:43pm 
@Neferata13 I'm working on updating the sizing but yes the ones in this mod are of larger scale than the vanilla dragons. Seraphon is slightly smaller than a star dragon but much larger than the other black dragons
Ciaphas Cain 28 May, 2020 @ 2:22pm 
Are these dragons large like the new dragons that Caledor gets?
Darkstrand  [author] 25 May, 2020 @ 4:29pm 
@All I am back. I will be working on my mods again shortly. I'm currently in the process of re-learning how I did everything in the first place...so it's a bit frustrating..I have been away for such a long time that I have forgotten how to do a lot of these things. Hopefully it's not to much to pick back up fairly quickly. I will be working on this mod as well as quite a few others to continue what I started. I will work on updating as well but most of my mods are purely graphical. I'll look into trouble-shooting as well. Happy to be back, hope you all are well out there!

She kinda does, not to the extent I would like. Her breath is a mix of effects, the only Dragin that I can make that could actually breath lighting is the Warpfire Dragon cause of the effects I have to work with.

I was almost done with my Ice Dragon but I forgot how to properly assign textures to new units. Once I'm back though I'll figure it out!

My biggest issue remains my inability to put Malekith on the Void Dragon, cause I dont understand skill trees that much.
Darkstrand  [author] 24 Apr, 2019 @ 12:55pm 
@Raemus Thank you for the kind words. I’m just happy that your baby is still alive and well :) would love to have you back working your magic again man. I’ve been a long-time sub of yours for the dragons. I could use your help with breath mods. I’m trying to mod the star and moon dragon breaths to be the “soul quench” spell color and I noticed that your Storm Dragon successfully breathes lightning
Remus 24 Apr, 2019 @ 9:05am 
It's okay man I know how much of a pain the Steam descriptions are. Your doing a great job! Hopefully I can come back to modding soon
Darkstrand  [author] 23 Apr, 2019 @ 8:19pm 
@Raemus You were an inspiration! I gave you credit in the description but then CA auto-deletes my descriptions every time they update :X
Remus 23 Apr, 2019 @ 12:34pm 
Dam, she looks so good. I should really set some time aside and give Void her love again.
Darkstrand  [author] 4 Apr, 2019 @ 6:13am 
@Neerus Thank you for the kind words! I have more coming but glad you are enjoying this one. This one was a lot of fun for me to make, especially the custom saddle banners
Neerus 4 Apr, 2019 @ 12:02am 
This is now an essential mod for me during any Delf campaign, thank you<3
Darkstrand  [author] 31 Mar, 2019 @ 12:22am 
@All I re-skinned Seraphon to be more like his TT form/model and Maelstrom how I imagine he would be represented if he was actually an actual dragon from the lore (he's not..CA made him up) and gave them each unique saddles and saddle banners for both.
Darkstrand  [author] 30 Mar, 2019 @ 12:35pm 
@matthi12 it was okay...but needed improvement for sure. It looks nothing like the TT black dragon models..that is certain..that's what I'm aiming for with this mod
matthi12 29 Mar, 2019 @ 2:16pm 
Ty, the original model's hideous and whoever designed it at CA should be fired.
Your Mother 27 Mar, 2019 @ 8:50am 
Great news! I look forward to seeing dragons flying about that don't have flaky breath color.
Darkstrand  [author] 26 Mar, 2019 @ 6:43pm 
@Look Over There! Yes I am currently working on that now. I've already changed the black dragon breath as you can see in the screenshots. I'm having a little trouble with the moon and star but I'm working it out. Should be ready at some point soon.
Your Mother 26 Mar, 2019 @ 5:59pm 
Hello, does your skill set include being able to change the visual look of dragon breath? If so, could you consider making the High Elf dragon breath (Moon and Star) look...better (not like pink and normal lemonade)? Thanks
Darkstrand  [author] 26 Mar, 2019 @ 9:21am 
@V-Praetorian-V no worries at all mate, go right ahead. Thanks for asking. I am working currently on an alternate for this one that keeps the black dragon models but re-textures them and I am really liking what I've got so far. I will be releasing that one shortly hopefully as well.
Soldier of God 25 Mar, 2019 @ 6:31pm 
Sorry - I don't really like asking this, because it makes me feel cheap, but do you mind if I use your textures in the overhaul I am creating? I will give credit in description and everything of course. If not, all good.
Darkstrand  [author] 25 Mar, 2019 @ 8:06am 
@V-Praetorian-V Thanks, good to hear! I’ll look forward to taking a look at that when you release it. Regarding, Kholek, honestly I haven’t given thought to any other faction yet at this point. For the most part, the resize lore mode on the workshop do pretty well with the characters. I haven’t seen one yet that does the monsters justice, which is where the idea for part of this came from.
Soldier of God 25 Mar, 2019 @ 4:43am 
Good stuff man, this works well with a loreful overhaul I am working on. (Not stealing this mod obviously, just saying it works well with it). However, how big is Kholek going to be if you get around to additional factions?
Darkstrand  [author] 24 Mar, 2019 @ 4:13pm 
@Anubis @chr_s thank you both!
Anubis 24 Mar, 2019 @ 2:37am 
Thank you for this mod, I really liked the Raemus version, I am very happy that somebody finally made it again.
V 24 Mar, 2019 @ 1:10am 
Very awesome mod
