Hmm? They didn't, last I played. Albeit, that was months ago. Perhaps an update broke the mod?

Why start heroes has size 2x2 ?

Why can't dusk dragons upgrade?

Like ghoul lord, this class doesn't work in multiplayer

150 gems for..30 black kobolds, really?

This mod doesn't seem to work in multiplayer. Any idea why?

That was on purpose. You unlock it when you start getting the dragon commanders.

You put a lot of effort into this and did a great job. Really enjoyed it. I was planning on doing a dragon mod but you did such a good job I do not think I will anymore.

Added in 12 new units, 4 new rituals for the T2 priest, and they can now recruit a Kobold scout!

Just did a big revamp of all the bios/lore of the entire mod line up. Big thanks to Ddraig Lleuad for putting in all the work and time to really flesh everything out.

Check the change notes for all the other small balance adjustments/etc!

Temples currently have no effect on recruitment rate.

Greater Ritual of Master is just for Dragons to learn new rituals. The Priests are restricted to T2.

Hovering over temple count in the recruitment screen tells me that temples have no effect on recruitment, is this correct?

was looking through the mod and saw that the Greater Ritual of Mastery was a level 3 ritual but also levels up the caster to level 3. Is it supposed to be a level 2 ritual to allow the High priest to cast level 3's or is it just to teach Dragons new level 3 rituals?

Thank you for accepting the suggestion, imo Fasthealing isn't that busted anyways, it's basically just affliction recovery and recovering between battles, but most fights are 'decisive' in this game, rarely do you throw army after army at someone with only a turn inbetween, so it should be fine to include on all the dragon stages.

I'll check out the new rituals tomorrow, thanks for the mod Maverick! I love the thematics.

Unfortunately there is no way to mod a ritual to do that. You can do it via event modding but it would be rather clumsy. Hopefully if they keep expanding the modding tools it might be possible in the future. For now the fast healing will do the job, and it is just restricted to the near adult and adult phases.

Honestly I think a temporary ritual would've been fine, affliction healing is pretty hard to come by in this game, but we'll see. You probably know better than me.

At any rate, how d'you want to handle flavour text rewrites? I'dve shot you a friend request already, but I like to be polite about these things.

Good suggestions. I have went a head and added fastheal to young adult, adult, and legendary dragons to combat this issue. I also expanded the usefulness of the T2 High Priest with unique rituals and expanded the Dragon Blooded units with breath attacks as well. Enjoy!

I believe there is a unit trait for healing afflictions over time, but not regenerating out-right, fast heal I think? It could be a simple solution to give the fanatics dragons, and possibly priests for thematics, that trait, ensuring that if they don't die they'll slowly recover from long term damage.

That aside, one mechanical suggestion I would make is you might want to consider adding in some way to cleanse afflictions. Maybe a sacrifice ritual - give yourself unto your deity that they may be healed! Herbs, spices, and other condiments are placed beside the throne, please season yourself liberally.

Reason being, the dragon fanatic's endgame is, naturally enough, all about dragons. They are your top tier spellcasters, your big ritual casters - and also your frontline beatsticks. That's pretty much unique; High Cultist/Demonologist endgame involves a lot of beefy spellcaster lords too, and other factions usually have one or two (elemental royalty, etc), but they're almost always mid-rank at most. As a fanatic, your dragons are and should be up front, so they're going to take hits, so they're going to rack up afflictions, and you can't quickly whistle up a replacement if one of them, say, loses both their eyes and can't smack anything anymore, you know?

I mean if you want, the easiest way is probably for me to shoot you a friend request, you give me a doc that collects the existing units/rituals and their text descriptions, and I can go through them all in one go. I'm quite comfortable with writing flavour, especially for things like this that are definitely up my alley.

Hi Draig - If you have any suggestions or write ups you want to toss my way I would absolutely appreciate the help. Ill also go through and try to add more clear information about what the spells do. I tried to stick to the norm of what the game offers, in that some of the descriptions of things are somewhat vague at times but in hindsight ill just stick with being more detailed.

I really do appreciate your feedback! I tried to balance it the best I could compared to the rest of the races already in game. I also wanted the play style to be engaging and fresh. I do have a few more units I wish to add to flesh it out but if you have any suggestions of things that seem too easy and too powerful to get for the effort please don't be afraid to reach out.

My one suggestion would be that the documentation could use some work. Unit descriptions are kinda short/basic, and the ritual descriptions could stand to be a bit clearer. I did a lot of looking at rituals like Rally the Masses and going, "so, is this an army-wide buff or something... ? Guess I'll try it and see."

If English isn't your first language, I'd be more than happy to offer my services with the writing. Gods know it's a ridiculous language.

Have tested it a bit now. I really like the feel, and as horrendously overpowered as reliable access to controllable dragons would seem, it feels remarkably fair after all the hoops to jump through. Sacrifice a priest to pay for the ritual, guard the egg, guard the youngster as it grows up... Plus the economy is pretty deep. Without 'free' troops like necromancers/kobolds/etc, there's a constant tightrope to walk of paying for troops without missing out on priest to turn into dragons, iron matters for DB warriors, you need sacrifices and then you need gems TOO... There's a lot of things to run out of! It makes for a very satisfying balancing act, and getting it right pays off with *fucking dragons, yo.*

Fixed the issue I believe for it not casting in battle!

other than these I am enjoying the mod. I am liking the elder dragon, to bad my elder got diseased so now he slowing dying. haha, way of life I guess.

The spell list are shown near end of the video. I have 2 spell with 10 range. one spell with 8 and the last one is E with wolf summoning. Even if it out of range, it would still summon wolf while it move into range.

Will do. Make sure you see what spells it has selected. If it has short range or no battlefield spells it might just not be in range. It is pretty slow so ends up in the backline a lot.

One last thing, would you mind checking tarrasque spell casting ability out? I have tarrasque dragon from casting a ritual slumbering giant on scared grove. For some reason. I never see it cast any spell even though it have spell casting skill. here a video of him in battle.

Once you find enough corpses at one spot, gems, and gold the commander will be reborn as a Dragon Lich. It will also raise a Dark Tower to bind itself to for immortality purposes at the location. It is definitely not suppose to be an easy thing to get.

how does the ritual for draconic lichdom work? it need 300 corpse. I can't sense dead. Trying to find big stack of army to kill for the corpse

Its 5% for the Dusk egg. The rest are split between the remaining 95%.

Reasoning for it being so low is because the Dusk Dragon not only gets spells but also gets Stealth.

update to my last comment. Must had tried around 40ish time before finally getting one. I gotta say those odd are low but it does work.

soo, what are the odd in summoning a dusk egg? I been spamming resign and load trying to cheat the rng

They should. Ill fix it if that is the case.

The Dragon Fanatic High Priest has wings but not the flying trait?

Pushed a fix to an issue with the dusk egg not summoning properly!

Hi Askanar - Once you have a hatched dragon then you will unlock the gem resource!

Always be yourself. Unless you can be a dragon; then, always be a dragon.

Thanks for the mod. Just tried to run it - noticed that even though some rituals require gems, the resource is not unlocked.

Praise
