@RazorPanzer, Goldberg, Wohkey - Wonderful feedback, thank you all. Phoenix Court really strives to be DLC-level quality.

@Adan - I don't really intend to include that End Times lore about Malekith. I think the elves weren't always treated very well during that storyline. Thanks for your enthusiasm though.

@Oh_Man[TFE] - More of that is coming, though it might wait for the new High Elf DLC at this point.

@cansary - It's almost 100% certain that is unrelated to this mod.

@Zets - It's important to balance a mod like this around the fact that in the vanilla game, the player has NONE of these effects. Losing easy confederation is a significant downside that allows a lot of leeway, but the mod is not meant to make the High Elves overpowered. I do think some of the seats could use a little extra power (the Isha seat comes to mind), but at this point the DLC is certain to cause a large overhaul of this mod regardless.

Thanks for the mod. Maybe its just me but most of the effects are very weak.

i am not sure if this mod is the casue but the HEF life wizard when gain A.Conduit skill will alway get stuck in the animation and be unable to move in battle. It can still use spells, abilities and when attacked in melee, it move again

AI-Man// No, problem isn't using too less mod, but using too much mod. Any script break is strong enough to broke another mod's

If you're using minimum amount of mods, but still see that bug post a script log in the Modding Den Discord's skeleton_crew

question : does this mod require a mod that adds more faction mechanics icons like this one? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3255717059
i played with this mod alone and after a while the button to access the tower disappeared along with the grandeur resource on the top bar, not sure what happened as it was working perfectly fine for the first 20 turns or so

Respect addressing the imrik miao interaction

looks wonderful! Can the one true phoenix king Malekith join in the politics once he returns to save the donut from chaos?

This is one of the best Mods I've ever installed. DLC level content. Thanks for the work.

Wouaw! This feature is just insane. Took from Dwarves one, but you've made it all... perfect. UI, balancing, arts, ... Thanks a lot !

once i played your mod i was so amazed, now i treating it as original game features. to be frank it is even better than the Chaos Dwarf ones as the politics has more players politicking in it. I so love it I hope someone will do the same for other factions especially Skavens as well.

@Quickpawmaud - Unfortunately, Saphery and Caledor do not participate in the Phoenix Court.

@cagatakaraca - It's likely it was one of your other mods that wasn't updated yet, and was causing issues with script.

@Louie04k - A high compliment, thank you.

@ObiKron25 - Yeah, I wouldn't.

Am I safe to assume this is not save game compatible?

damn well done on this, feel like a mainline feature, better actually

Hey, I just subscribed to the mod, but it doesn't seem to be working. Could it be due to the new patch 6.2 update? Even though the mod has been updated, I still can't get it to work.

What about Belannaer the Wise from Mixu? Does he work for Saphery too? I hate playing Teclis. he is so painful with his starting position.

All faction-unique events also feature unique art, often featuring official art of your faction's homeland or leader. Some even feature a short voiceover from your Lord!

There are also lots of events that only appear for a GROUP of factions. A simple example is that one event involves your Lord interacting with Eltharion, so it does not appear if you are Eltharion. Others involve deciding a dispute between two different Kingdoms, so they do not appear if you are playing as one of those Kingdoms. This means you will have a slightly different pool of dilemmas no matter what faction you play.

Over time I'd like to continue to add faction-unique dilemmas to keep deepening the sense of immersion.

@Kusika - There is quite a bit of content that is faction-specific. When you have claimed a large number of seats, a dilemma unique to your faction will pop up, discussing its rise to power. Every single High Elf faction has unique text and effects for this, even minor colonies.

If you play as one of the Ten Kingdoms, you are able to claim your own Throne. This triggers a special dilemma where your Kingdom throws a festival celebrating its culture. Again, all text and effects are faction-unique.

If you claim all Thrones and Seats, you achieve total political victory. This event is also faction-unique.

@Theo Official, uwu - Yes, that's very likely. The next DLC looks likely to require a significant overhaul of this mod though, so we need to see how that goes before making other plans.

@Barstow - That's a good suggestion.

@GeeCeeJr, jude/bambo - Sorry, that was a bit of a phantom update for a technical reason, you won't notice any feature changes.

@Kusika - That's exactly the sort of experience I was shooting for, glad to hear it.

ty for update - cant wait to see what the HE dlc holds

Fantastic mod! Gives good campaign flavor without railroading you into a specific playstyle or making you overpowered. The confederations actually feel satisfying through this system and the events are quite fun.

Are there any faction-specific events? Like, stuff that would only appear if I played Eltharion, or Alith Anar?

What did the new update change?

+1 for black court

AMAZING!!!! Thank you.

As a fluff piece, Imrik is known as quite the talented singer. Will you be incorporating any of that as fluff? https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Dragonsong

Hey, is there ever a chance that we'll get something like this for the Druchii? Like a Black Court? Thanks!

My intention with the dilemmas in this mod is to explore Asur culture and politics; in this case, the topic is the taboo against outside romance. Miao Ying presents an unprecedented exception that tests this rule, as a dragon in humanoid form, but we learn that even WITH this exception, it's almost impossible. Maybe it is impossible? I don't want to spoil the event series, but even the best ending has a mixture of fear and hope. In other endings, the rule wins again, even with a dragon.

Thus, you're not going to see an unambiguous happily-ever-after of Miao Ying joining the Asur in this mod. As I work on the Imrik-only version of the chain, it is being expanded and you'll get more content, and I do think you'll like it if you are rooting for Imrik. But in the nobledark world of this setting, you have to fight really hard for good things to happen, and there's a cost.

@The Mightiest Pocket Square - To be honest, I consider the mod 100% lore friendly. And like Warhammer Fantasy, sometimes that allows having fun! But while the Imrik/Miao Ying event chain is fun, my intention in writing it is to explore something I like about this setting, especially in its earlier editions: it (usually) honors its rules.

One such rule is that High Elves consider humans more like a different, lower species than a different race. Breaking a rule has a short term benefit: it's exciting, and everyone wants a human to get together with an elf. But maintaining the rule has a long term benefit: the setting becomes more real, and the rule can continue to influence stories.

@PEPEGA - If you use MCT, you can customize how much Grandeur you gain per turn. Prop Joe's console commands mod would work too.

@Mortarch of Blood - You know you are fighting the good fight against power creep when people release buff submods.

@Naiva Prism - Thank you! Great compliment.

@Augustus II - The seasons already are synched up with the art of the Tower, but I do sometimes play with ideas for seasonal political events and such.

is there to give yourself the items to unlock seats? with like a command?

New submod

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3472550673

@alshua noted thank you anyway

This is a crazy mod, I'm so impressed at the quality of it. It's truly dlc quality, well done

You should think about implementing the seasons and holiday mod with this. Its such a great fleshed out seasonal mod with 12 months and holidays built in that it could mesh great with this awesome mod.

Yeah, noticed that when I kept playing and a few of them triggers. A guide would probably be a cool idea, I'd assume anyone looking at one would (hopefully) be aware that there are spoilers. TBH I was only going to ask/suggest secret options for the paths based on which elf you're playing which could allow you to gain a cross faction legendary lord. For example, if you were playing Imrik and got the good ending for that chain, Miao Ying gives her land to another Cathyan and joins his faction. Would she ever do that in lore? Almost certainly not. But would it be a fun twist for her to choose love over duty in a mod which isn't 100% lore friendly anyway? I think so.

@The Mightiest Pocket Square - There are a fair number of politically-related custom events like that one that trigger based off hidden conditions. It's possible a guide to them would be good, but then, it spoils the surprise too.

@Barstow - I was distracted making Squigs, but let me get back to work on that...

@Catboy Master Chief - This is a pretty major mod to turn off mid-campaign; we can't really offer technical support if you do that.

@dominion_choir - Check out the FAQ; ask more questions there if you need more help.

Played a high elf campaign just to see if this is a thing (and to say hi to gary), and holy shit it is. I'ma annoy rhox on discord now by asking him a question

@Barstow wait what? that's a thing that's being worked on?

Ahoyhoy. What is the status on the player Imrik events with Miao Ying? I cannot bear to wait for cheesy romance events between dragon autist and fortification autist.

Scrap that I had it saved from a while back, it's 'rhox_helf_tower_court_grandeur' for anyone else wondering in future! :))

Hey please could you link the res command for Grandeur for use in console :) many thanks for a fantastic mod

I turned the mod off mid campaign and confederation is still disabled, are there any changes I need to make to re-enable it?

Same here, not working, grandeur & court options disappear after end turn.

@ColdDreamer - I have not had any issues. Please explain your report.

not working with the new update

@npdejong
See the pinned Discussion

Thank you for making this mod :) Is this compatible with SFO?

@me:> - It should be working well now.

not working with the new update

I'm glad you're having fun with it. What you're basically wanting is a submod with higher load priority than this one, which contains no code at all, only a bunch of Lothern flags with the same file name and location as the Eataine flags used in Phoenix Court. It would be a good starter mod for someone interested in modding...

Hi, I really love this mod! It makes high elves faction more flavorful. I'm wondering if I can change the Eataine banner into the blue-white Lothern banner? If so, can you help me out? Thank you.
