update

Think you could update this mod? I would very much love to play it, but it doesn't seem to work currently.

back playing AoW4 after a break of 5 months. still not interested in any of the 4 DLC, including Dragon Dawn. so I would greatly appreciate an update to your mod so that it will work again as before. an updated fixed version would be one of my favorite mount mods

Update

Great idea for a mod, but not really usable until you fix the issue with calvary units not flying, tempted to use it just to guarantee hero mounts but then the rest of the army being landlocked looks silly :(

The annoying part is that "Land Movement' tag stays. It's purely "cosmetic" so to say, since your units would fly just fine, but I couldn't get rid of it, even though player upgrade properties and whatnot

Found an easy (but likely dirty) way to fix it. To make flying work, in Dragonborn.rpk, you need to go to Dragon Mount Trait - Unit Upgrade and replace (actually broken) "Flying Group" with "Flying Group (Dynamic)"

Also tbh, I would remove fire breath from mounts since wild fire wyverns don't have it, but that's up to you, of course

Will look into cleaner way to implement it if at all possible

Hey Jay, just want to say that I love this mod and I hope there will be an update soon. It'll be fun to combine this mod into the new dlc with dragons.

@Jay I just remembered that the tome of wind gives your scouting units a flying mount (a thunderbird i think) maybe you can look at the code there for clues or ideas on how to do it?

@spazzie2098 that is what i tried to do, and failed so far.
Probably overlooking something simple.
It always is something simple xD

@jay A thought i had is if this unit has a dragon mount give the unit in question the flying mobility tag. Would that work? Also i can confirm what Shadowing said that it broke old saves (which makes sense considering all the reworking it did with the update)

@Shadowing
I can, yes, and ill look into it!
Thank you for informing me of this, that should save me some testing <3

Can you make dragon mounts for different affinites? PS: mod works. DLC just broke old saves

@spazzie2098, i spend a painful amount of time trying to make flying work, still hoping on a breakthrough on that front q.q.

@joel.west, sadly; as expected.

I loaded only this mod after game update and the game crashed, so unfortunately this mod needs an update to continue to be useful

@Jay DoublieU The mod does need som updateing one of the things it really needs to do is make it so that mounted units count as flying units (being forced to embark when all your units are on the backs of wyverns/dragons is a bit silly) @odahvin technically a wyvern IS a dragon

haven't tried it either
But i presume i'll have to update it, aye
as well as release some of the new stuff i worked on :)

As of right now i haven't tried this with the new update yet so asking in advance, does this mod need to be updated first?

I don't think the DLC has dragons as mounts, unfortunately. Nor lizard/raptor/dino mounts. It's jarring.

They're wyverns, not dragons...

@SDFgundam
Entirely dependent on the DLC, yes

I take it you are going to make sure this works when the 1st DLC and free update hits? I can only imagine you won't if the DLC adds Dragon Mounts as an option

@Jay DoubleU Its not a issue. I was just asking cause I mostly use the tyrant sword & shield loadout and wanted to still keep my horse riders but Have my ruler with a wyvern mount (would match the "tyrant" part of the loadout. XD). And you adding all dragonlings/wyverns or just fire? :O

@Alex the Great
1) i wasn't aware that was an issue.
shouldn't you still be able to use it regardless?
ill look into it

2)yes actually, dragonlings and wyverns are in the works!

I have 2 questions:

1: Anyway you could add a fire wyvern mount to the tyrant sword & shield hero loadout? Gives us the option to pick another trait while still being able to pick the dragon society trait.

2: Have you considered adding the ability to recruit wyverns in the unit recruitment pool for each culture? :O

ok thanks @JayDoubleU

@13racken, that is correct, as that is a vanilla mount.
I do agree it is a little odd though.

@ALEXNTFOX one day ill figure it out!

@pphhyy, not too hard, it would be very possible, yes

@ALEXNTFOX, ill consider it!

Does your hero mount not get the dragon breath? I do not see it.

need fix position of camera, I don’t see anything, I can’t see the model

how hard was this to make? would it be difficult to add all the possible mounts as mount options for the traits?

Now we need bone mounts and frozen

@aslanarewen14
In the "race creation menu", you can pick your race's mounts.

how do you select mounts?

There is the mod I needed for the Melniboneans! If you could add poison spit would be perfect, but is already great as it is! Thank you so much!

im gonna hold off on this mod until the dragon race comes out, hope this gets a fast update within that week.

@Jeditl, It is very possible, i just didn't think of it.
Ill see what i can do!

Is it possible for the Ruler to also have the Fire Breath trait?

@Tactics
There is, but i don't think it is fitting for this mod.

Is there a way for you to make the lost wizard a tier 5 summon from the astral book? That would be so cool and make them be recruitable easier.

@Bo, im looking into it!

@Olorin, thank you

@Lemonz, I figured that flying and the new ability would be a too bit strong if combined with the 10 bonus HP

@blitz(Ger), Fire and Blood!

Very cool mod! Is there any way to make the mounted ruler the same size as mounted units on the campaign map? For example, all other units are much larger compared to my ruler when the ruler is mounted on the fire wyvern.

Such a cool idea ! Well done :)

Can you get actual full dragon mounts or just Wyverns? Also the Wyvern mounts should give +10 hp like the other mount options

Targaryen fantasy

Thanks! That's awesome news :)

@Ran i ran a test and it worked like a charm!

@Shade working on it!

@Ran It should work with both, but ill check for you!

I assume this won't work with units that add more mounts to existing units or mods that add new mounted units, no? Question is, will it crash or just not have the mount?

Any chance of different types of dragon cults? Death, Fire, Frost, etc?

Hello! I want to do a Chinese translation for your MOD, but I see that the language files newlocs.mo and dragonbornloc.mo in your MOD only have compiled files and no .po files. Can you open these two?
