It should work with SFO in that you can upgrade units, but as you said it will block out the alignment icon. No plans to try and correct that issue at present.

@Kaguya
It does work with SFO, it just blocks out the UI that accounts for alignment and disables it.

I think you can make a submod for SFO .

Ok. So the alignment resource and my resource are both fighting for the spot on the toolbar allowed for resources. I believe there is a rule of just one allowed. Only option I have is to remove my effect bundle from view to allow the SFO alignment icon to show.

I do not plan to make that change at this time as this mod is not SFO specific and that course of action would mean players could no longer see how many Sacred Energy Orbs are accumulated.

I have it in my task list to take a look tomorrow. Sorry about the delay.

SFO is out of beta now in case you aren't aware.

Have a little bug with SFO,will cover up alignment resource.Have some ways to fix it?

Do you plan to release a version that I can obtain all the upgrades? This is a really enjoyable mod.

Thanks for the heads up. Once SFO is released (I don't use the Beta) I'll look into it.

I'd like to inform you that while doing beta testing for the latest SFO mod that this mod actively disables the alignment resource gain. You can still get the effects from it, but there is no way for me to be able to gather alignment resources. If you can fix this when the mod is out of beta by either updating this one or adding a compatibility mod, that would be fantastic.

That tends to occur if another mod is messing with the resource icons too. I think it can be fixed by moving the mod and any submods to the bottom of your load order.

mod works but i see mortuary cult urns instead of scrap or the other resource

I have just tested thie Stalker upgrades. All is working as intended.

hmmm stalkers still dont hav access to the upgrades for me

will investigate this week

The thing that I notice is that the mechanic doesnt apply to ROR units. Can you spend some time to look at this problem ?

Amazing work! thank you for making and sharing

Nice author, thanks!

Updated to version 1.0.4 which includes upgrades for Chameleon Stalkers, Feral Troglodons and Coatls

Probably. It's on my list for this weekend.

Does this need an update?

Should still function but I will update it in the next day or so.

Would it be possible to update this mod? Or does it still function in the current version of the game?

Blessed they be.

Alright, and thanks for responding so swiftly. This mod looks tempting.

@mtegui
Yes. That was intended.

@ThePhantomintheTypewriter
I was unsure when I added the mod to the workshop if it needed the dlc to use the scrap mechanic. Currently I think it doesn't, so I have removed that as a requirement.

The regiments of renown have no option to upgrade, is this intended? Cool mod

Pardon, but steam's being a little weird with your mod, so I need to ask. Does your mod require the Warden and the Pauch DLC to work? Because Steam claims it does, so I'm just double checking.

New version 1.02 updated for the Twisted and the Twilight patch.

Balancing is hard - I don't have immediate suggestions. I can play a bit next week and say something then. But I think making it consistent(ish) with TW&TP would likely be best.

Being 'consistent' means:
1) Rate of scrap gain (how does Lizardmen scrap gain compare at turn 25? What about turn 100?)
2) Cost of upgrades (I saw a range of 20-80. 80 for elite units, 20 lower tier. So the minimum sacred orbs might be 20, not 10.)
3) Impact of upgrades (so not making the unit too OP)

I don't have TW&TP, but I doubt CA has correctly balanced the scrap mechanic, so...

An aside, you'll likely get different feedback based on gamer type. Some of us love being OP - others prefer something more subtle and having continued challenge. My above comments are based on being the latter (I use mods to keep things challenging beyond turn 30 + not get boring).

The range as defined in the 'campaign_group_post_battle_looted_pooled_resources' is between 5 and 25. The exact amount is decided by the game engine. If you think it's too easy to gain orbs from battles I could lower the min to 4 and the max to 20.

How are points rewarded from battles? Set amount, or amount based on value of army defeated, or difference in value between armies? :)

It seems to work without all the DLC (I only have TP&TW). This is only from very fast testing.

Strangely, I noticed my fans spin up more than usual - maybe CPU usage is higher? (need to test)

Some upgrades are VERY nice, e.g. +20% speed for Cham Skinks. Other unit upgrades are much less significant.

It works with Blessed Units - so you can get some ridiculously strong units(!). It doesn't work with RoR so upgraded Blessed Units are 100% better.

I LOVE the concept & mod. As a player, you're more attached to specific units + adds flavor.

My main questions are about balancing - it might be too easy to get sacred orbs, It looks like you'd have fully upgraded armies pretty quickly (which takes away from this being special).

I might be better to make sacred orbs rarer, or some upgrade costs higher.

Or perhaps orbs only come from manual battles with a decisive or heroic victory (nothing defeating a weaker army). New incentive to fight your battles better or take on riskier battles.

Thanks

Great mod it rly does add to the lizardmen

The dlc requirement is more of a suggestion as I am uncertain if the dlc is realy required. As for conflicting with SFO I don't believe there are any conflicts.

2 questions, what parts of the mod will I be unable to use if I do not have the Nakai DLC, and does this conflict with anything SFO?

Cheers

the sfo submods are so helpful, and i love your mod ideas. thank you so much for your work!

Ah, thank you!

I plan on releasing submods for RoR and SFO units much like I did for the Wood Elves upgrade mod.

Thank you very much for your hard work! I really appreciate it.

Regarding the RoRs, as far as I know, the Greenskins' RoRs also get the scrap upgrades. Further, it is only one unit of each RoR, so even if they are OP, especially late in the campaign, they don't weigh in that much. Some, like the the Saurus Spear RoR might not even be in use anymore, since blessed temple guards are probably stronger.

I don't use the OVN factions so I doubt I will do so any time soon.

Any chance you could modify this to include the Amazon faction from OVN + Expanded Amazons Roster? They are linked to the Lizardmen but this doesn't work with them atm

Thank you very much.

I have no authority over who does what mods. If anyone wants to build off what I have done with this mod then that is their choice. I have no issues.

Can you authorize “oil” to do it ? He has done a lot of this “I Wanna them all” He wanted to do one, but he couldn't do it without authorization

that may be possible, but would require a lot of scripting to change the active effect bundle for each unit. not something i'm currently planning on in the short term

Please !
