Some changes can make the leader very ugly, which is terrible. Your mod is the only one that can save me. He is the only one in the community, and I haven't found any other alternatives

Your mod is very, very good, and I am looking forward to your updates

What the fuck is the blacklist system
Von Schnitzel  [author] 27 Apr @ 4:21am 
@Leaf This mod have not been updated in 2 years so
of course it doesn't work, I would update it but it was made partely obsolete when devs introduced the blacklist system, i have other things eating up my time these days maybe someone else will do it.

i have done some testing and i concluded that this makes frenzy that comes from demon kin transform not work on my ruler. please check it out
primeambitions 7 Apr @ 8:44pm 
can the mod, please, get an update? ;u;

Great mod, too bad it's not up to date for the new transformations :(
Ghoulvarine 20 Nov, 2024 @ 12:33pm 
@Azi_Dahaka12th You can still toggle off the appearance in the spell page for all of them. But you are right that the newer ones need the update because your ruler will retain the transformed appearance when ascended.
Azi_Dahaka12th 18 Nov, 2024 @ 5:29am 
i know you said you didn't see a reason to update, but I do, some transformations can not be toggled, mainly the newer ones like umbral. and it would be really nice to turn that off

@Lord Vectra please tell me how to do this
Von Schnitzel  [author] 23 Sep, 2024 @ 10:05am 
@Isidorn Because this mod was made partly obsolete i didn't see a reason to update it, its worth noting that i am working on other stuff and there for don't have time to update this mod.

How ever i do agree on the ai thing as i dislike that to and at some point if i have time i will make a new version using customization sliders instead of two spells.
Isidorn 20 Sep, 2024 @ 8:20am 
I still find this mod useful as hiding transformation effects with the in-game feature doesn't effect recruited pantheon leaders as heroes. It also makes AI look less horrible when they chose the non-transform versions of the spells.
Any plans for an update for the latest transforms added to the game?
Gossip Snake, XOXO 12 Aug, 2024 @ 2:03am 
Is there an update for Naga and Umbral Demon?
Lord Vectra 20 Mar, 2024 @ 6:53pm 
Major Transformations can also be hidden except the ones with Wings.
Lord Vectra 20 Mar, 2024 @ 6:53pm 
You can turn off minor transformations as well in base game if anyone was curious.
Atreies 8 Mar, 2024 @ 10:50am 
I've noticed that when you recruit an ascended hero, he will have all the transformations active, even if he didn't have them when he was ascended. So this MOD still comes in pretty useful.
Rewasder 2 Mar, 2024 @ 5:46pm 
Small question, if I use the mod that allows me to use more than une major transformation, it can't be the no appearance one? As it's like a different spell, I guess it will still have the restriction.
Rewasder 2 Mar, 2024 @ 10:16am 
I don't think minor transformations can be hidden in vanilla tho, so that's another reason to use it, be able to get all minor transformations without looking freaky
Niallism 2 Mar, 2024 @ 9:41am 
Thanks!
Von Schnitzel  [author] 1 Mar, 2024 @ 7:19pm 
@Niallism you can turn it off notnig should hapen, I intend to make this mod cover the major transformations the devs choose not to allow u to hide that is if it's even possible if not i can always us the method i orginly used.
Niallism 1 Mar, 2024 @ 7:12pm 
This is an absolutely great mod, thank you so much, but with the new changes I don't think I need it - but will stopping using it bork my Pantheon? I've been using it, and the color and banner icon mods, since they came out.
Rewasder 27 Feb, 2024 @ 10:27am 
Major transformations CAN be hidden, unless they give wings or naga legs, for technical reasons.
Von Schnitzel  [author] 8 Feb, 2024 @ 6:36am 
@Nunda This is good news, when all my other mods have been updated i will changed this mod to cover majors transformations using the new system.
Nunda 8 Feb, 2024 @ 6:26am 
News from the latest Primal Fury stream: This mod is so good it's partially coming into the base game as well. Enchantments and transformations can be hidden, but not all, at least not major transformations.
Visie Maigo 15 Jan, 2024 @ 8:40pm 
@Von Schnitzel, love this mod! Seems like the mod applies the Ethereal unit type for either versions of Astral Attunement. The base game does not apply the Ethereal type for Astral Attunement. Is that an intentional change in this mod?
Mihai_Radu 15 Jan, 2024 @ 10:07am 
i've had an AI pick earthkin and no transform earthkin, and it actually seem they both apply. They seem to get +1 defense from both. Hopefully it's not broken. It's my favourite quality of life mod!
perl 6 Jan, 2024 @ 8:45pm 
Seems like the "ai always use no transform" option is not working. I replaced the files in my directory but the AI is still taking the transformation
Argos 5 Jan, 2024 @ 3:04am 
*UPD* looks like it was conflicting with "visual tweak" mods, disabled them and it works. This is awesome! - I don't have to play ugly grin skinned orange hair shining body with rocks ice dirt and who knows what else on it's face. Does anyone on the planet really thinks those ugly transformations are nice, I can't imagine anyone decided to add that into the game.

Thank you a lot for fixing it.
Argos 4 Jan, 2024 @ 9:15pm 
Could be the best mode for this game but it breaks a lot of stuff unfortunately. E.g. eagle rider mounts disappear.
perl 29 Dec, 2023 @ 10:44am 
One of the best mods :)
Wysaw 18 Nov, 2023 @ 12:26pm 
Thanks for the update
CreeperDelta 16 Nov, 2023 @ 3:04pm 
We appreciate your hard work, Sir Von!
Dahvokyn 15 Nov, 2023 @ 3:38pm 
Thanks for the update bruv
Estoc Bestoc 12 Nov, 2023 @ 8:47pm 
@Von Schnitzel Thanks, Sir. Your continued work is much appreciated!
Von Schnitzel  [author] 12 Nov, 2023 @ 3:48pm 
also its bin updated now fore A&E
Von Schnitzel  [author] 12 Nov, 2023 @ 3:47pm 
there is a winRAR ZIP file in the mod that contains options for how ai interact with the mod extract it and replace the existing files white the files from your preferred option (note i put the files in a zip so that the files whont cuse som sort of fucki waki when the game loade the mod)
Estoc Bestoc 7 Nov, 2023 @ 10:22am 
@Von Schnitzel thanks, mister!
Von Schnitzel  [author] 7 Nov, 2023 @ 3:05am 
@Estoc Bestoc I will include a version in the next update that disable AI use
Estoc Bestoc 6 Nov, 2023 @ 4:52pm 
@Von Schnitzel Is there a way to force the AI to only use vanilla spells?
Von Schnitzel  [author] 20 Aug, 2023 @ 2:02am 
@JX83 I've been busy with other things so I don't know but I'm pretty sure it is.
JX83 19 Aug, 2023 @ 8:08pm 
Is this mod compatible with the Watcher update?
Von Schnitzel  [author] 18 Aug, 2023 @ 2:47pm 
@Aedrion I agree on that but i'm kinda busy with 2 other mods which eats up a lot of my time at the moment but when im done with those i may look in to doing such mod as for payment there is no need for that it only put pressure on my to do things right.
Aedrion 18 Aug, 2023 @ 2:27pm 
This is the best mod on here, hands down. I can't play the game without this. The cosmetic changes that spells provide are horrible and ruin the visuals of every single faction, turning everything into the same boring thing.

That said, would you be able to do the same for the dragon forms? Their transformations are key to playing them effectively but they completely visually destroy whatever your dragon looked like. If you want, I will pay you or donate to you for that, and substantially so, I would donate whatever makes that worth your time because dragons are unplayable for me right now.
Sein 22 Jun, 2023 @ 10:32pm 
@Von Schnitzel I think that's all for now. Thank you for your exceptional work.
Von Schnitzel  [author] 22 Jun, 2023 @ 2:15pm 
@Sein Leafskin is now fixed if u see more things i missed please tell me i haven't been able to play the game for some time now.
Sein 22 Jun, 2023 @ 11:01am 
Leafskin currently provides an additional 1 resistance, but it seems that the mod has not been updated for this.
redrobby99 22 Jun, 2023 @ 10:44am 
its been fixed for me! thank you!
Von Schnitzel  [author] 22 Jun, 2023 @ 10:32am 
@redrobby99 Should be fixed i must have accidentally deleted it when i was copying bits from it and then accidentally saved.
redrobby99 22 Jun, 2023 @ 9:49am 
I've got a very weird bug. I noticed that the rear skirt portion of one of the outfits the wizard king gets is missing for me. It looks super weird and out of place, and i know this mod is the one that has this bug because this is the only mod i have for AoW4.
Teridax 22 Jun, 2023 @ 9:15am 
Thank you!
Was playing a bog standard Spirit/Gold Dragon leading a High Culture save, only to be shocked how my people turned into green demons (Seriously, that stuff looks more like demons than dragons)
