Not really a spriit unit but itd be cool if Mother Ostankya had a big "Brood Mother" spider and had a bound ability to spawn small spiders ( Hatchlings or Giant spiders ) and maybe gives a passive buff to nearby spiders

Any way to make this mod compatible with Maffy's "Kislev Expanded hero skills" ?

Thanks a lot @greenphoenix23

The last piece of the puzzle for a great Ostyanka campaign is now place. :)

Updated for 6.1!

@miniaar
I was able to get it compatible! Enjoy!

I'll take a look to see if I can make it compatible!

Hi, I want to use Herald's start position to have Ostyanka start in Plesk from the get to (disregarding CA's new dilemma). Unfortunately, this conflicts with your mod which I also want to use, with the custom hag hero who is stuck in Naggaroth.

Both the ability to recruit Hag mothers and to immediately start in Kislev are important for me for the real "Ostyanka" experience? Any chance you could consider this while updating your mod?

I will update soon!
Was unfortunately busy on patch day.

update？

The upgraded version of the Summon Spirits spell doesn't summon Spirit Stags like it says, it just summons Dryads like the base spell.

Ah - nvm, it's a Mod conflict

Seems like Lore of Spirits hag doesn't have the Widow skill tree

Have you been able to update the mod? Does it work with The Motherland now?

Thanks for the report!
I should be able to get that fixed this week.

Found a major conflict between The Motherland and this mod: since both of them have a script to kill off Ostankya's starting Hag to replace her with special versions, enabling these two together guarantees a script break at the start of a campaign.

Have you ever considered giving Mother Ostankya or the other hag witches an ability that lets them transform into a flock of crows (maybe using Calm's model or perhaps even the spirit crows from her cauldron) and travel about the battlefield? Either as a transformation or targeted teleportation ability? This is something Mother O does during her short story Things in the Woods that I always thought was just cool.

Specifically, the total list of the abilities she employs in that story includes:

Blanketing battlefields in mist with her cauldron

Possessing people in their sleep and speaking through them

Being immune to being stabbed through the heart

Transforming into a flock of crows

And controlling the weather to some extent (summoning rain/storms)

All of those are neat powers, but the crow transformation thing in particular really stood out to me. Just an idle thought. Maybe I'm too inspired by the Mother Miranda boss fight in RE 8 lol.

I keep saying Vampires could also greatly benefit from animal transformations as well, maybe I might work on making that a thing myself one day.

any chance you can add the units to the red line skill of the lords? CA did that with the base game forest creatures a couple of months back

Thanks!

Alll your freaking mods are must have!

Updated for 5.2!

Working on an update. 5.2 just released.

update please

Thank you very much

great mod

And now updated!
Please enjoy!

@Rhino™ That mod doesn't look to be a WH3 mod

@mikelangelo70 https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2501830659

=)

He said next weekend! Can't wait for it aswell!

update please

Looks like an easy fix for when I get back access to my modding computer

@greenphoenix23 Yeah I figured. I tried to figure out what they renamed or moved the thing to but I couldn't find it. Doesn't help that I'm not sure what it even is.

That looks like it will be bandaid fix, but it is very likely to break skills in game.
I will have to relink to whatever they renamed it to.

@jarjaxle https://imgur.com/a/fgKl5N1 This should help
On the first screenshot on the bottom is what pings when there's an error, usually stops a mod from launching all together
Then the second screenshot I've highlighted where to navigate to, to find the lines to delete. Specifically you see line 364, the other is line 408. Again I stress I don't actually know what these do lol. But the mod launches.

I'll be getting things updating soon.
Been very busy of late, but next weekend I should have plenty of time to get everything sorted. Sorry for the delay everyone!

@Firo if you could please tell me step by step where do I need to go to erase those lines, I would appreciate it. Tried to locate it myself but I am pretty stupid when it comes to Mods or computing. Just want to play some of the Campaigns that I have gotten pretty far & don't want to restart them from beginning. Thank you

So I reckon this isn't updated anymore?

@lordsali RPMF should spit out an error message for the affected lines. I don't remember which they were exactly, but they both had "type_5" in them somewhere.
One of them was around line 400 or so of the full .data file.

Yeah would love to know this aswell!

@Firo would you be able to quote which lines to remove? I opened the mod in notepad and deleted character_skill_node_set_items_table then re-saved, game still crashing unfortunately.

Can confirm the bug after the last update!

If anyone wants a fix to at least crashing on start up, the issue is with the values in the character_skill_node_set_items_table, two lines return an error according to RPFM and if deleted the game will launch without issue and load into saves with the hag mothers mod. I'm not playing Kislev atm though, so no idea what that'll do to the hag mothers. That said, if you've got other campaigns running but you're not playing Kislev, this at least lets you run the game + your campaigns.

Up on the crashes my game on start, now I can't continue the campaign I started with Mother Stanky and Empire, shame, will hopefully wait for update cause the mod was really fun

It doesn't crash for me, but the generic hag mother hero gets turned into a skaven. Definitely needs updating, but I've no idea what to change. Everything looked in order when I peeked into the files in Rusted.

I'll get a fix out soon!
I've been pretty busy lately, so the hotfixes from CA have gotten away from me!
Thanks for the reports and I'm glad you enjoy!

Nah i always get a crash which is a shame its a great mod

this mod still work sire ?

Have fun!

oh yea its time to cast some spellz

And updated!

Yeah. That makes sense with what I've heard.
I also need to tweak some stats to make things in line with the changes, but that is pretty minor overall.

yea, the only ones that didnt work for me was this and the shield bearers, so i figured it was something to with lords or heroes.
