Pushing back on the commenter who said Calm is plagiarizing Princess Mononoke and not crediting Studio Ghibli:

This is a mod. When Calm started modding for TWWH2, he's already "plagiarizing" TWWH2 and WHFB. It's hypocritical to suddenly demand modder's guilt when it comes to a movie the commenter personally liked. He should be opposed to all modding in the first place, if he was being consistent.

Artists take from each other all the time. It is only those who never created anything, who keep disparaging artists for plagiarism or copying. It's all ignorance and sour grapes, so they can downplay the quality of the work. All artists know what I'm talking about.

I don't hear Games Workshop praising Tolkien on every page of their website, maybe they should shut down?

@SheathedBlade1SS
I support this request, this mod was neat !

Please port over to WH3, I don't want to play Wood Elves without it :D

Would love you to eventually! This mod is great

I would but im just more motovated and excited to work on other stuff at the moment, i feel like im working on mods constantly and updating this keeps getting pushed down my to do list

Any chance that you will port it to WH3 someday?

id love to use this together with the creepy drycha mod in warhammer 3

i luv this mod if you would port this to WH3 that would be awesome, honestly if you could port all yo work but i get that that's a lot of work LMAOOOOOO

oh plz port this 2 wh3

Please make this same mod for the third game!

Oh, I see you intend to wait a bit before porting any of your mods. I hope you enjoy immortal empires but get some ported before too long! Im really looking forward to them.

Congratulations!, This MOD is amazing, but I would love it if you don't use MIXUS, since it makes many other fun MODS incompatible. Anyway, it's an excellent job! A Deer Lord would be great to accompany the wolf clan and princess MONONOKE. Cheers!

Glad you appreciate it. Possibly my favourite movie

Take all the time you need, that's music to my ears. Thank you for all your great work.

Also, I forgot to say I love the Princess Mononoke references with Okkoto and the Wolf Animal Keeper. Such a good movie ^_^

I'm gonna wait a while and just enjoy imoortal empires for a few weeks before I start that, but definitely eventually I will

I can't even begin to explain how good your mods are, and how essential they are to me for actually playing and enjoying the Wood Elves.

Do you have any plans to port them to WH3 when Immortal Empires releases?

sfo?

Great mod

Thanks, I have mixu's unlocker but I guess it doesn't work on ongoing campaigns. I'll try it out in my next Drycha campaign!

No you need mixus unlocker and a new campaign I'm afraid.

Hi, I've added this mod in an ongoing campaign but I'm not getting any heroes available. Is there a way to fix this?

I like how the wolf one is clearly Mononoke inspired.

Super cool!! :D
<3 <3

Shit, that's so cool...

I wanted to wait for wh3 to use the new bear assets. But seeing how bear heavy Kislev is I don't think I want a bear keeper now

Out of curiousity, where is there not a choice for Bear Keeper? You have their models in your other mod. Is there difficulty with having them serve as a mount?

@Ebithril
I did indeed miss it, will take a look!

Update. Lowered the level the animal mounts are unlocked from 21 to 18

@Grumpybager
If you have missed them he also has a "Hound of Kurnos" mod that gives you legendary lords when starting a ritual of rebirth.
They have traits and talents that evolve around animal keepers and animals.

So stretching the word "technicaly", there are technicaly Animal keeper lords. :P

Came back to WH2 and still got all your great WE mods, actually got to use the Hounds of Kuranos* and got some of my Keepers to max before the end game came. Amazing mods that make use just using animals really fun! The only thing I could possibly ask for is that you please consider lowering the level where Keepers get their mounts <3 other than that, wouldn't change a thing.

Any chance for a Lord version?

Update. Tier 5 animal building now adds +2 recruit rank factionwide for animal keepers

Hey! LOVE this mod. It is so flavorful and awesome!
I can't seem to find a any way other than "Hoeth, Lord of Wisdom" technology to increase the Animal Keepers Recruitment level.

Meaning, later on even with a few magical trees at lvl 5, you still can not recruit them past level 3
Meanwhile, Waywatchers and Spellsingers can now be recruited at 15 and 13 - but not way to boost the keepers.

It would be nice with a small patch that would allow some extra levels from the structure chain.
+4 at max upgrade would keep it in line with the other heroes, but even a modest +2 at max would speed up their level up process by a lot.

Cheers.

Those heroes don't have their own categories so they share recruitment caps with vanilla heroes. To have their own seperate caps you need the unlocker

Hello friend, great mod, but I was kinda curious about the unlocker. I've seen other mods (like this one: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2548543288) adding new heroes without using it. Are they different? How does it work? Thanks.

Sweet man thx!

Col hunter gathers.
I'll run a test later to see if the issue appears for me in campaign battles

Greatwarhero936
Do you have mixu's unlocked enabled?

Log from blammo.
No. No spider version I'm afraid. I don't have much time for modding nowadays so there's lots of ideas I can't follow through with

amazing mod like all your others. ever thought about adding a 'Adopted by Spiders' line for them where they could mount a Giant Spider or a feral Arachnarok?

Have tried the mod but for some reason i cant actually recruit them and i have a slot showing where they are supposed to be any idea why?

@Calm&NormalTime It looks like they work correctly in custom battles, but in campaign, they are showing up on their back any time they are not actively attacking. I can send you screenshots, if you want.

Sorry I don't know what's causing that.
The weapons are always just stuck to the riders back?
Can you test in custom battle if it's the same for all of them

Love the mod! Really dig the Princess Mononoke vibes. I'm noticing, though, that the mounted animations seem to be broken on my end. Their spears are not showing up in their hands, but instead on their backs.

Any ideas on a fix?

I see, Cool idea, too bad it didn't work out. I hope wh3 is easier to mod. I look forward to seeing your work there :)

I removed those from campaign, they were buggy and I couldn't figure out how to fix them unfortunately

Yes, these are best mods for warhammer2. I wish I could figure out how to get the aminal companions to appear though.

Cheers. I am proud of this one. Will be porting it to wh3 when wood elves become available for it. Appreciate the kind words, your message actually caught me by surprise I only expect bug reports ha

This is so well done I’m actually at a loss for words. I hope you’re extremely proud of the work you’ve done, the entire community is strengthened by your efforts

There already is one

Very nice work on this mod! I love the idea and the execution. If I can say one thing, it would be amazing to get an SFO submod.

Ah ok. That's intentional. I find masks creepier when they're slightly silly. A mask that looks deliberately designed to intimidate makes me think the wearer is overcompensating, while a playful simple mask with a neutral expression is more unnerving
IMO
