Life is hard but please help fix this mod, thank you

That's the current plan but LIFE™ has not been working with me. Give me like 2 weeks or so and I'll see what I can do. Thank you for your patience otherwise.

So this gonna be remade or nah?

I will be looking into remaking my mods after the next expansion comes out, but I don't know how much success I will have. Unfortunately, depending on how the new skill terr works, It will probably be much harder to make the skill aspect of this mod and I'm afraid that it might make compatibility between any mods that affect leveling and skills almost impossible.

For the thing about increasing damage the lower tier the target is, you could try to invert the "mighty meek" buff that tier 1 units get if you go for order. It gives spirit damage the higher tier the target is compared to the unit.

Updated for ER?

great work!

I have the targeter for the Fiery Rebirth effect on the tactical spell fixed and the mod has been updated.

My apologies, the way some of the tactical spells work has been rewritten and broke the skill "Wrath of the Dragon God", I will try to figure out the new way to format the skill over this weekend and update the mod as soon as possible.

I don't know what to tell you, these screenshots were taken with a test mod setup. The only thing in them that wasn't base game was the test version of this mod, and my mod does not touch the graphics of the dragons. Sorry.

I'm speaking about picture №8. It's an obvious reskin, as i see.

I apologize, but I don't really understand the question here. I don't believe I have anything that edits the appearance of my dragons in the pictures.

How did you make fire dragons red instead of black? Didn't find such awesome mod here.

@Arielessar That's just the full spellbook before the last update. I just consoled in the book during testing and screenshot each spell because I'm not good at setting up those large collage photos people use to show off their molded spells.

@Black Light, I think you were right. While I keep this mod up as is, I am modifying a new version, rebalancing it slightly, aiming it more at dragons and moving it to a tier 4. I'm planning on doing this while also introducing master Dragon feats for each of the existing tier 5 tomes with the unique dragon lord bonuses in the campaign, at least to the best of my abilities. (How they implemented the material dragons bonus gold is really wierd and I don't know how to replicate it.) Thank you.

How do you get that spell list with scroll bar? I can only get the actual book to pop up

My apologies about the lack of response this month. Personal life and general lack of attention caused me to miss the messages. I do wish steam notified me of messages. @Black Light, I might remake a second mod with the tome as a tier 4 as it should be pretty simple a change, but I will leave this one up as I do think its decently balanced. thank you for the input and interest though. @Celepito my apologies but I am unsure of what would be causing that error. I'm not very proficient at modding as of yet as I mostly do it only on whim. I have not personally encountered that error and I have no Idea what would be causing it. If you figure out which mod is causing the conflict, please let me know and if I can't figure out why it has issues, I can at least put up a warning of the conflict. Sorry I can't be of more help.

2. 40 damage over 2 turns sounds like a lot.... untill oyu realise tome of the eternal lords gives oyu a spell that does 45 damage over 3 turns, has aditional benefits, and costs half of the dragon gods wrath
the imerium building, like i said, sounds great... but it wont payfor a singel tier5 unit even in the best of cases...
i really like oyure mod, but you shuld either buff it and make it hit all dragons, or jsut make it a nice little, a bit strong but not mutch, tier 4 tome

honestly i recomend you actually make it a tier 4 tome,
1. youre mythic unit agmetns are decent, but, they only affect mythic units, of witch, even with youre province improvement, you wont have that many of, and quiet francly, they all sound fancy, but arentthat great of a buff to units,3 melle atack aint mutch for them, mythics get soo mutch health per level, that 3 wont matter, and retaliations jsut dont deal mtch dmage either way, maybe changeit to affect all units with the dragon type instead???
1.1 lets compare it to the cosmic overdrive of the tome of the archmage: it gives its bonus of 30% attackspeed to all magic origin, including balors, and all youre normal troops if oyu use astral mayor race transformation

Yeah, doesnt work with it at the of the load order this time too.

@Excaliburton I had tried it with both this mod at the top, and at the bottom of the load order. But I can give it another try.

@Celepito, I had the same problem until I dropped Tome of Elder Lords to the bottom of my Load Order. Even worked mid save. Hope that helps. I think the conflict is with "multiple tier 5 tomes", it was for me at least, but as long as this mod loads after, it should be g2g. Cheers.

1.) There might be a mod conflict somewhere, as I can only research Wrath of the Dragon God, while the rest of the tome doesnt appear in the research at all. When choosing the tome, I only have one option to chose from. And since I see no mention of this issue in here, I suspect mod conflict. The skills and the Dragon Lair work just fine though.

If I get around to testing it (which is gonna be annoying, since its a T5 tome), I'll mention where the incompatibility is, if that is indeed what causes my problem.

2.) Question: If I takle Power of the Dragons on a Dragon Lord Rulers, does the buff affect the Ruler too, or just Dragons in the Rulers stack?

Thank you for the update.

@A Big Hairy Monster Thank you for that. I have it updated in the Encyclopedia and with the new skill ranks. Thank you all for the enthusiasm despite the stagnation of the mod. I do hope the day finds you well.

iirc the encyclopedia thing is related to tags. Saw a mention somewhere on another tome mods' comments.

@Videogamer40000 I will look into the encyclopedia problem, but I can't make any promises as I don't really know how to add the encyclopedia entries. as for the adept/expert skill thing, yeah, I should be able to make that adjustment with minimal difficulty. I'm going to take a look into the encyclopedia thing first though, as not to update it twice in quick succession if I can add both in without too much fuss.
One thing is if anyone has any ideas on the first added dragon skill let me know. the extra HP feels somewhat moot now that the transformation only adds a max of 15 to heroes. just an extra rank of the first dragon HP up skill, and I don't think anyone is likely to take that instead of almost any other bonus offered. in the skill trees. even the first normal hero HP up at least satisfies the requirements to get better skills further up in the tree.

I was wondering if this tome could be updated to reflect the changes made in the Watcher update. namely, making one skill an adept skill and one skill an expert skill, so this tome matches the research scheme of vanilla tomes. Additionally, the tome doesn't show up in the encyclopedia currently.

@Black Light First, I want to apologize about the lack of response, I had not checked the mod beyond just making sure that it was still working for a while and had not seen the notifications that you had left a message. The Draconic Vitality stopped giving you more than 15 health because it looks like they changed the racial transformation to max out at giving your heroes 15 health. as my mod simply allowed you to get this benefit too, it appears to have also been affected. While I understand the idea behind the landmark costing gold, I think its effectiveness as a landmark would be too low, at least for one from a tier 5 book.

for soem reason draconic vitality stoped iving health after giving me 15

you shuld make the landmark cost gold, insterad of give it.
1 for balance
2 becours you pay tribute to the dragon, and add to its nest

@Snowyowl I see what you mean. When I made the mod, the tier V tomes required 8 of their affinity. I did not think of it in terms of number of tomes prerequisite. The normal tier V needs 4 of their tomes to get the 8 affinity, I think I'll lower this one to 4 and 4 affinity, so it too will require 4 tome investments to get the affinity.

@Ezekiel no, that's not intended behavior. There's probably a setting in one of the tome files to lock it out if you grab another tier V that I didn't activate. I will look Into it.

I do apologize but Neither fix is probably going to come for at least a few days though. I will try to update it this weekend. Thank you for your inputs, interest and advise.

Out of curiosity--is it intended that you be able to take both this tome and a standard tier V tome? Because in my most recent game, I was able to do that. Got the Tome of the God-Emperor, and then later also picked up this one. Was quite useful to have the buffed gold dragons to defend my seed/root/heart, but I'm not sure if that was intended behavior or not.

Does the tome need to both require 6 nature and chaos affinity? I found this out half way in my game and find it restrictive to builds. All other tier 5 tomes need 6 but Elder Lords needs double at 12.

I have been having some trouble uploading photos to steam today. Ill add the rest whenever steam decides I'm allowed to.

@Zharevion NP, I'm just glad everybody has enjoyed the mod. If you go to start another game, please let me know if you run into the issue again. If your up for it, have everyone unsubscribe and resubscribe. That fixed the error when I played with my friend. I thought it could have been the same sort of issues we used to see with TWW2 where the mods were not keeping themselves up to date all the time. If not, then when I have the chance, I'll try a multiplayer game with the Timberwood tome. Otherwise, hope your game goes well!

We had mostly tomes, i can provide a full list if needed but as i said, we tried only with Expanded Cultural Units, Tomes of the Timberwood and Tome of the Elder Lords and it threw off the error, then we tried only Tomes of the Timberwood and Tome of the Elder Lords and it still threw off the error, hoping it was just a steam hiccup then, thanks again for the mod!

@Zharevion that might be due to it not updating fully for someone, maybe the host. I had that happen a couple of times with my friend I was testing it with, but having him un-subscribe and resubscribe to it allowed us to play multiplayer. It might also be a conflict, I built it using all new rpk files without actually editing any vanilla rpk's to try to avoid conflicts, but i cant rule it out.I have been able to play online with a couple of my friends with a mod list of 16 using its current upload though. What mods were you using?

Heya thanks for the mod, i just wanted to let you know that, with this mod enabled one cannot join a multiplayer lobby, just says internal error, we tested and found out this mod was the culprit of it, we could host and play with 10 other mods but not this one, always throws the error even with just this and timber books

No problem. Thank you for the update.

@Videogamer40000, thank you, that's a good point, I will get the tool tips adjusted today. The encyclopedia will be a bit harder as I am still unaware of how to add or integrate it. I will add in the details so that the descriptions are useful, but then I'll probably leave it up without furthur edits, that way if someone wants to run a longer game, hopefully the can play it without the mod update
breaking their save.

once I get some more experience, know how to add the encyclopedia, and hopefully have the second mod set up nice and clean, then I'll update it and upload that one. I'm just glad that I'm not the only one with these sorts of pet peeves with design.

It seems like the tome doesn't show up in the encyclopedia. It's certainly not the largest issue, but could we see this fixed in a future update? As a side note for the Power of the Dragons skill, could we get it listed that they ignore two armor and two resistance instead of just listing two and two? As well as listing how much life drain gives them for lifesteal? Both of these are easy enough to understand if someone has read the mod page, but can be a little confusing for those who haven't and are just looking at it in game. Thank you for the mod.

My apologies about the updates already, the damage boost for the Power of the Dragons Skill did not work as I had originally built and I replaced it with an always flanking quality.

Great mod. Thanks.

While I will try to make this more presentable as I become more proficient with how to make the description Icons and connect the Hyperlinks, this is pretty close to where I want this mod to be. Until I or someone else adds in the Mythic tag to the existing buffs where it would make sense. After that Point, I may end up reworking another version of this mod that can be properly focused in on the dragon specific game play, rather than designed to grant the Mythic units some needed attention.

The Idea for the Mod I want to make to go with this is one to add a Dragon Lord specific skill to each existing tome. a lot of them will be to allow you to pick up the transformation effects for each of the racial transformations, but I am also planning on building the Idea @Nicolaw floated my way into that mod as well. the Tier 5 book of each Affinity will unlock the aligned Dragon Ruler specific skill for your own dragon lord to pick up.

@HzT That would actually be amazing. I have just been reusing the ones from the game, as I am sure you have noticed. you might want to reload the page as well, as I have just now updated it with some new features.

awesome!
do you need help to make the arts for icons?

@Tormound depending on how they have that set up, it might be easy. They might simply have them labelled as having the dragon lord type in the prerequisite section of the skill group table. I have this one that I'm trying to get updated to something a little more complete, and because of hyperactivity already have another mod Idea that I'm chasing as a companion mod to this one so to speak. after that I will look Into opening options up for the dragon choices. It's also third because it's not something I would personally use, as I kind of like a certain amount of thematic restrictions, but if it's not hard, I'll make it.

Any way to maybe have it so the various dragon auras can be taken on different dragon ruler types? Like the nature aura on a order dragon? Might be out of the scope of this mod though.

@Dakoroth Yea, i was thinking about making them either unlocked via a high tier (4-5) spell tome or make them one of the special hero skills you unlock at level 4/8/12/16 (would probably need to be level 16 in this case since the effects can be quite strong)
