Hello, for anyone looking for updates to this mod, I've updated it and am maintaining it here:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3373012061

will this mod see an update?

Hello. Great work and I much appreciate the time spent on these tomes. The Tidecaller animation for tidalcall is gitchy.

@Zwerchau So you can build SPIs in coastal regions. There is no problem with that, but in bringing this up, I went to do a test and make sure that was still case, but found that the SPI was entirely unavailable.

I have now re-enabled it, and you can build it in the water.

I have also already uploaded the updated tomes, which you can find here:

@Monger One thing I noticed, while you're updating the mod, is that the Tidal Locus province improvement in the Tome of Tides might need a little love, because I don't think you can build special province improvements in water provinces.

Meaning that, unlike normal ones like Levy camp, you can't stick the Tidal locus in a spot where it's fully surrounded by water. The locus itself has to be built on land, so realistically your *best* case scenario is probably just +11 food/+11 prod and no other bonuses. Which feels a little underwhelming compared to other SPIs from tier-1 tomes.

@skaz88 Was this the only mod you had activated when you saw that problem? I've seen this problem as well, but have been unsure which of my *cough*40+*cough* mods is causing it.

The good news is I am working on updating the mod. The bad news, I can't find anywhere where the mod touches anything related to the Copper Golem. I'm a novice at modding, so I could be missing something, but I'll have to look at it again later.

@Arca_Bibliophile No prob! That will be a good spot to do so. It's been a while since I've done anything with modding, and the crew there was very helpful before, and I may need a few pointers on how to update a few things and upload them here.

@Monger You are more than welcome. If you would like to chat about it, I would prefer to discuss this in the mod's thread in the AoW IV Discord

Hello, I am interested in taking a stab at updating these tomes. I've sent a friend request to directly chat with you about that and logistics of it.

Thank you!

So this is going to sound strange, but at the moment this mod is causing a visual error with the Copper Golem's portrait, even when I took out everything except the Tome of Tides.

Please update soon, I miss your Tome of Tides.

The Tiger update is adding some significant changes to the Tome of Chaos Channeling. Will you be able to work them into the Tome of the Inferno?

Sea Spray is bugged I think. Even though it says 1-hex, when you click it, it's a HUGE area of hexes and it doesn't let you target anything.

Could you make a compatibility patch for this mod?

Could this mod have a compatibility patch to help mods that use the scions of flame transformation to locate it

Will this mod conflict with the new Traits Mod that has popped up and seems to be getting some steam? Asking because it messes with the Demon Gate Tome

Mod in question {LINK REMOVED}:https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3274396523

The devs should be ashamed that these aren't in the base game, great work :)

Very awesome to see!

Very cool, thanks!

This mod now also has built-in support for Unit Lore & Miscellany if placed BELOW it in your load order!

@warriorandtoaster Not without editing and re-uploading the Age of Tomes mod, and I'm not the author of that mod sorry

The mod has now been updated to the Mystic Update!

2.0 Renewal Update (Updated to Mystic 1.1):

Major Features:

- The Ashen Vestal is now a Tier IV Battlemage unit, with new visuals (her floating attribute has been removed)
- Scion of Flame has been visually overhauled and now features smoke and embers
- Pillar of Fire has been moved to the Tome of Pyromancy: it now inflicts less damage and -3 Fire Resistance (so it is consistent with Lighting Torrent)
- Ignite has been removed, and Immolate has been buffed (as it was weak compared to spells like Fulmination), it now deals a tad more damage and also sets the ground on fire
- Both the Tome of the Inferno and TIdes now feature voice acting like the vanilla tomes- it is AI generated via Eleven Labs (for now)

Bug Fixes and Tweaks:

- Tidal Locus now correctly counts as a farm
- Tsunami's double damage bonus was bugged and applied regardless. Tsunami now deals a flat 20 Frost Damage and inflicts Wet
- Infernal Rebuke has been renamed to Ashen Rebuke
- Fiery Arrows has been renamed to Searing Arrows for consistency

Age of Tomes also has a Tome of Tides, and using both your mods together results in two separate tomes with nearly the same content. Is there a way to have one of these be disabled if your mod or the other detects the other mod being active?

When I did that Demonkin was left out. It's ok, I modified things on my end so that it will work for me.

@skaz88 Have you tried placing Ascension Repentance below this mod in your load order so it overwrites any changes made by this mod?

@SDgamer Additional tweaks will be made to this mod when Eldritch Realms released, including visual tweaks to the Ashen Vestals and Scions of Flame. Also, they announced more DLC so ER will not be the last one

@Nexious
Maybe? Probably not though- I think Tome of the Stormborne works fairly well as a high-tier water tome, and the upcoming Tome of the Tentacle steals some of the possible themes away. I don't have any ideas for an additional frost tome.

Tome of the Sands would be cool! Would be kinda weird to do it without the Sphinx unit though.

What if I just want the Tome of Tides? I'm having a mod conflict between this and the Ascension Repentance mod because of changes made to the chaos tomes but I really want the Tome of Tides........

I would really love if you continued to add additional elemental-themed tomes to this mod. Like another water-themed tome to follow-up the tome of tides? Tome of the Seas (Tier 3) perhaps?
I would also want to see more frost-themed tomes or perhaps a tome that allows you to spread desolate or sand terrain without being the primal culture?

Once the last DLC launches you got plans for new Tome Mods or potentially adding more to this one?

@Kapparoto Thanks! I'll look into fixing the Tidal Locus and nerfing Tsunami (which I agree is a bit OP) when I update this for Eldritch Realms

Some considerations regarding the Tome of Tides, as it's the only one I've used so far:

- BUG: Tidal Locus special province is not counting as a farm as a means to boost other city structures.
- BALANCE: Tsunami feels OP. Maybe tone the damage numbers down a little bit?

@SDgamer Not at the moment, I'm afraid.

In other news, the newly announced Tome of Clensing Flame will make a great thematic compliment to this mod's Tome of the Inferno (I love the fact it adds both a SPI and city building)

got plans for more Tome mods?

@El Conquistador de Amor

No- that's part of the point of the mod, and I've put significant work into updating the Tome of Tides. If you really only want one, just delete the Tome of Tides RPK file in the mod folder from either this or the other mod

Can you please make a version of this without Tome of Tides? I don't want to have two of them, one from the other mod pack I have.

Its about time someone updated the Tome of Tides. I have always loved it but even now I was having the crash issue associated with the Tide Mill. Anyway, thanks. Now, if someone would update the Tomes of Shell, Siren and Water Goddess, I wouldn't need to use the outdated mod at all.

Hello, the MOD you made is very good. Are you considering adding a new version without modifying the original file but adding a new Tome?

@Uledrith That means you can select whichever Tome of Tides you prefer, either the hyrbid one, or my pure nature version.

Tome of Tides is not a stand-alone mod so now I have two of them with this mod enabled.

@Arca_Bibliophile
That's weird, I could swear that she was the list before my current playthrough. Maybe something's changed between patches. Either way, good to know.

@Drezzy Nimue is one of the several campaign leaders who are not unlocked (even in the main faction selection) unless you have completed their campaign missions

@Drezzy For me, Nimue still shows up in the main faction selection and in the pantheon list, so I don't think she is.

@Arca_Bibliophile
One more thing I've noticed, that Nimue is not on main faction selection list anymore, not on pantheon's list either. Haven't beaten Wildwater realm yet, but wanted to look at her changes. Is she now an unlockable pantheon-only character?

Both those reported bugs should now be fixed!

Thanks! I'll look into fixing it @Drezzy

@Arca_Bibliophile
What I've found is that you can select Tier 4 Tome of Inferno at the start.

No problem. Great mod btw

@CH You can use both mods, but you may end up with two Tome of Tides.

@Charname Nope- thanks for letting me know. That will be an easy fix.
