Updated and reworked version here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780366339

yes

This mod is greaat! Hope someone would update this and also make sfo submod

Original idols have problems with textures. Did you know that?

On another note, I will be interested to see with what else you can come up with if you decide to continue working on this mod. Love the idea of elemental idols

I love the mod and they look great but they are wayyy too op.
Range needs to be lowered by like 200 at the minimum (maybe higher range on the frost idol), the spells should be single use and the ammo replenish spell should cost more HP and have a limited amount of uses. 30% every 45 seconds is nuts. Maybe make it 30% every 90 seconds, max uses of 3.
Frost Idol needs to only shoot one projectile and maybe less damage, and should also get nerfed in melee. It's still almost as good as the normal idol, and you can get 1k kills easily with its ranged attack. Idk why the aura is mapwide either.
Sandstone idols vortex spell is way too big for the amount of damage it deals.
Magma Idol actually looked a bit weak in comparison, though I think it's fine for the cost.

Now I enjoy awesome units, even to the degree of being a bit OP. But that Frost Idol is doom incarnate, it's ranged attack is stronger then the Queen Bess! I can't turn this off as they have already been recruited by Grimgor so wish me luck against this nuke thrower. Great stuff though, maybe just needs a bit of tweaking.

IZ DIS UPDATED LADZ?!

Frost idol needs to have a aura range that dosn't affect the whole map, it's absurd the debuff for the whole map

Ok Idols have definitely too much range, and Frost Idol is the most OP unit i have EVER encountered.

So I've subscribed, and an 95% sure I downloaded the mod, restarted Steam, Tw2, Tw1, and yet I don't see any way to recruit the elemental idols. Anyone else have issues with it or can suggest what I'm doing wrong?

Is this mod still being updated in the way of balancing, textures, and new idols?

sfo pls

The frost idol is waaaaay to powerful. It's solo'ing enemy doomstacks, in one match it racked up 1,200+ kills, granted it was against 3 stacks of skaven, but on average he get's 300-600 against doomstacks. I haven't tried the sand and magma ones, because the frost one performed so well.

@Unrectify - Yeah some people mentioned that to me as well. Currently, it throws 2 projectiles that have explosion of Cassadora. I will be reducing its accuracy a lot. And its fire weakness. And also reduce its ammo. Also Magma and Frost will be getting new textures.

The frost idol is OP, I like it. Its missiles are basically miniture nuclear bombs.
Strenght-wise over a duration of a battle, an ice idol can decimate as many as 10 ikit bombs.

Is it possible to remove the greenish aura or change the color?
It's a bit odd.

sfo ?

@balrock99 could you add them to all greenskins in custom battles?

great mod

Thank you for this mod :)

When you know how you remove something, then give every idol some unique instead of only recolor it. So one have all decorations but no mask, the other only mask, the other few decoration and mask, etc. To keep them unique

Could you do a SFO version of your mod?

''Dung Idol - Made from shit and is able to explode ( like bloated corpse ) but can throw balls of shit at the enemy''

Oh man this is too hilarious

could you add them to all greenskins in custom battles?

bless

BOYZ I AM BACK!

I have finally learned how to "cut" things out from models. So I wanted to ask you ladz how to use this!

1 - Remove all the decorations ( grass, orc decorations )
2 - Remove heads / masks - Head can be removed and only pile of rocks can remain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I will finally add more idols. Warpstone, Dung and Deep
Dung Idol - Made from shit and is able to explode ( like bloated corpse ) but can throw balls of shit at the enemy
Warpstone Idol - 1 Ammunition only - Big explosion
Deep Idol - small idol with close range projectile. Smol but fast and best to just stall enemy infantry.
I will also adjust stats and costs and tiers.

Can they join the scrap system? Besides, can the big guy be Chinese

return the idols Paunch!!!please

Will you do a SFO Version, when it comes out? Still a nice mod with cool models.

I do like the idea and the models, however the statline of the sandstone idol feels odd. Especially the armour feels too high. I mean, Sandstone is a pretty soft kind of stone, most certainly softer than the rocks of the default Idol.
Right now it's basically just a straight upgrade over both the default Idol and Da Big Un, and I have to admit, I'm not really a fan of that. Since it's the same recruitment tier it should be more of a sidegrade than an upgrade and since the regular Idol is the only one that doesn't have a ranged attack, it should be the most lethal in melee.
I think it would make more sense for the Sandstone Idol to have ever-so slightly worse stats than your regular Idol across the board and in exchange give it blinding attacks to represent sand flying all over the place when it attacks.
I'd say 100-110 armour, 65 melee attack and around 550 weapon strength would still be plenty. In exchange it could get blinding attacks, higher speed and maybe higher melee defense.

Gamma-Trooper - I have already 2 Idolz ready to go. Third one is still ... MEH.
But right now I teamed up with 99Kingcarl for Modding JAM. And we are making 2 Elven heroes. I am taking care of the base structure of the PAK and ideas. And CARL will take care of the skills for them.
Cant wait to present our creation to the JAM

Can't wait for more of these :)

savegame compatible?

Could you make it so when you have multiple shaman buildings you can build more of the idols? If it isn't possible thank you anyways for making the mod its really fun!

could you add them for grom in custom battles

@99Kingcarl - All idols have wallbreaker passive. So they all can attack walls and gates with both ranged and melee. But their damage to walls and gates are different depending on their scale and stats.

just as an idea: maybe the Building idol could attack walls in melee (like the warpstone-drills), might fit his theme

@99Kingcarl - The warpstone Idol is a bit tricky with its textures. I also made Dung Idol and Idol of the Deep.
Idol made from buildings and cobblestone needs to wait. I will be also changing stats of some idols. The Frost is now destroying units with 1 shot. So it will be less accurate. So now if it hits than entire unit is gone. But if it misses then you wasted your shot.

I'll tell you if I find any WAAAAGH armies with them, haven't really looked at the tables after the update yet. Really love the Ice Idol and I am looking forward to the Warpstone and Building Idol!
PS: I appreciate your kind words :P

@99Kingcarl I dont know to be honest.I havent seen Waagh army with regular idols. Always with orcs or trolls or goblins. But it would be cool if they did. I wonder if there is table for these Waagh armies and what units they are using in what area. That would make this mod a but more immersive.
Love your Vermintide mods BTW ;)

Will they appear in the WAAAGH army in the according regions too?

Does the Magma Idol have that fire bombardment ability that the Magma Arachnarok Spider?

@Astyanax King Of Greece - There is already someone making Snotlings for green skins. So I don't want to "copy" their idea.

can you make snotling units for greenskins?

@MightyKnife - Be sure to use mods updated for Grim and Grom update. Because there has been a change in some tables and if not updated they will crash your game. This mod is created after the update. So it works. So check if you are running outdated mods.

This seems to crash my game, could be another issue I'm not aware of though

@srebmykloc - That is something I should "fix" This mod adds them to main Greenskins faction. And you can use every Greenskin lord there.

COOL AS ALL F00K

A savage ork idol for wurrzag would be dope just saying :D

nice mode! :D

WAGHHHHHH
