As said below, bodies of a lot of races disppear with this mod, sadly
But what you can do it start a game with this mod to get the 2 skillpoints and disable it afterwards. You keep the points!

So far, as of Ogre Beta, this mod is not benefiting Eldritch or Dragon rulers. Do with this information what you will. (I love this mod.)

Just wanted to say what the guy beneath me said, but it seems to affect lots of different races (goat, simian, human, elf, and more). The bug stopped completely after disabling this mod.

dunno why since this is not apparently a visual mod but with this mod turned on with goat faction form one my hired heroes at the start of the game had their head cut off at the neck. the other two newly hired heroes did not have this problem, or I fixed the problem my assigning them a different clothing outfit. all of these newly hired heroes were of the same faction type as my ruler (whose head was firmly attached)

the ruler did not received added starting skill points so I will have to keep this mod turned off until both the functional and graphical bugs are fixed. but it worked great six months ago when I last used it (before the recent wolf game update)

Hello, if you have the time, I was wondering if you could tell me how you were able to give Godir Champions an extra 2 skill points at start, but not recruited heroes? As far as I can tell there is one available lever for extra skill points, and it affects both of them.

This mod needs be updated. I will try to update it soon.

With the new update, somehow this mod messes up some rulers by making them floating heads with no bodies.

for some reason this mod doesn't work with eldritch rulers they are the only one ruler class that doesn't get starting points

@KingofApples
Hello. Could you make another version of the mod where the ruler has 5 skill points at the start?
So to speak, a version where the ruler is really powerful

It does actually take away the +20 draft that Champion rulers have now.

How do I add stars to mod rating?
Charlando[SunsOfStmChrts] 16 Aug, 2023 @ 9:23am 
What would I need to do to fix this mod to put back the +20 draft bonus for champions
KingofApples  [author] 1 Jul, 2023 @ 12:08pm 
Updated again. Added a combo mod if you also want to raise max hero level to 30, check this mod's desc for the link
KingofApples  [author] 30 Jun, 2023 @ 11:55am 
Updated, should be working on Champions, Wizard Kings, and Dragon Lords :)
KingofApples  [author] 20 Jun, 2023 @ 7:34pm 
Hey I haven't updated this with new DLC. aiming to do that tomorrow!
OnyxSuccubus 20 Jun, 2023 @ 6:16pm 
Heads up, this mod does not affect Dragon Lord Rulers with the Dragon Dawn DLC. Would love if it got fixed!

@KingofApples I don't know if you'd have to edit another file, I'm not good at mods lol
marceljv 30 May, 2023 @ 8:15am 
Yes, it only seems to work on Wizard Kings, just tried with Champion and did not work.
⛧ ARegularPanda™ 28 May, 2023 @ 7:15am 
Yeah it's weird haha, I thought I was going crazy, but haha :) It seems to only work on Wizard Kings, or at least, there's like a hidden percentage it'll work on making a Champion xD
KingofApples  [author] 28 May, 2023 @ 1:49am 
it should work on both. if not thats a bug I will fix
⛧ ARegularPanda™ 27 May, 2023 @ 10:47pm 
So, this only works on Wizard Kings I assume? Because I only get the extra points on Wizard Kings and not Champions.
KingofApples  [author] 27 May, 2023 @ 10:28am 
@thekiyo I could make a version for that as long as I don't need to edit another file. Want to keep this lightweight
KingofApples  [author] 27 May, 2023 @ 10:28am 
@alies yes
aliasnone00 26 May, 2023 @ 12:03am 
Can this mod be used in multiplayer?
Istoria 22 May, 2023 @ 8:17pm 
Fantastic Mod! Necessary asf! Do you think you could enable this for Godir that show up as heroes from your pantheon? They don't get traits, and it's weird to see a conqueror of worlds be outclassed by Joe Shmoe from Hasfut.
PaleEnchantress 20 May, 2023 @ 11:53pm 
This is great our, literal gods, have some starting power without being unbalanced
Quvano 9 May, 2023 @ 11:22pm 
@Chicodi - That's in vanilla. There is a no cost reset button at the bottom of the skills panel
Chicodi 9 May, 2023 @ 2:32pm 
Hey, great mod, any chance you could make a mod that allows to respec the heroes for free? maybe with a cooldown or something
JKNinja 9 May, 2023 @ 1:23pm 
Thanks for this! I always found it strange that a hero gets a starting trait while your rulers get none. This is help level that playing field
KingofApples  [author] 5 May, 2023 @ 8:08am 
That's the idea. Or just put the two points into something else. Didn't want to raise the power level too much and this is as close as I could get without modifying all the traits themselves (without wouldn't be vanilla balanced anymore). Rather have this be lightweight.

Nice touch on the -10 health, considering 1 vigor dip gives that back (But then you'd effectively only have 1 extra skillpoint) Simple but good.
Olorin 5 May, 2023 @ 3:19am 
Good idea ! Well done
KingofApples  [author] 5 May, 2023 @ 1:08am 
They do Cookie.
CookieMagic 5 May, 2023 @ 12:29am 
can you confirm that AI ruler actually use these 2 free points?
blaque_czar 4 May, 2023 @ 9:53pm 
There's already one that gives 5 with no penalty, so this is nice for people who don't want unlimited power.
