Cataph's Dragon Mages of Caledor [updated for Silence]

Description
OH OH OH!
We begin our adventure on WH2 modding - that is not porting stuff already done for WH1, I mean - by adding a new Hero for the High Elves, as per title.

The Dragon Mages are princes of Caledor that are known not for original names, but for a pre-destined, sudden and impetuous affinity towards dragons and, just as predictably, Fire Magic. The Winds tend to stick to those with a kin temperament, and Caledorians are fiery enough to be favoured of Aqshy.

On the Tabletop, Dragon Mages were a beefy Hero choice with a pre-installed Sun Dragon mount and the option - hear hear - to buy dirt-cheap dragon armour, the same enchanted suit worn by Dragon Princes. Which conferred them unrivalled protection among casters, short of Chaos Sorcs and Vampires.


As for us, Dragon Mages are Nobles, so they can hunt for Influence or attack people and armies, but are recruited from the dragon chain. But they're also - you don't say - fire wizards, so that's bound to count for something. Ah, and of course, they can get to ride a Sun Dragon.

Features:
- Fire Magic (starts with Sword of Rhuin).
- Starts out in robe.
- Can acquire Dragon Armour (heavy armour and special saves).
- Can acquire a barded dragon prince steed (added to fill the gap to...).
- Sun Dragon! at level 20 in campaign or for sizable sums in custom battle.
- Can take Reckless, a suicidal version of Arcane Conduit.
- Three variants and new Ward of Addaioth (replaces Loec/Hoeth).- Removes the sun dragon mount from the conventional fire mage UNLESS she's from Imrik's or Caledor factions.[www.patreon.com]

In both custom battle and campaign.
This is made for vanilla, compatible with most mods BUT not with any overhaul like Radious or SFO without specific submods. It IS automatically compatible with Boyz will be Boyz though.

Yes, the dragon armour locks down the armour ancillary slot. No cheating.

Note: the character's height is now based on Litharion's resize, so it's 15% less than vanilla giant heroes.



Have fun with your pyromaniac noble!

Usual thanks to all PFM and RPFM creators and helpers; to Marthenil for rediscovering the porthole settings.bin and to Crynsos for helping improve the process.

Hi! Would you like to transfer this modification to the third part of the game?

@Dead213End The mod description does state that the sun dragon mount is only available to the Caledor NPC minor faction and when explicitly playing Imrik. I guess I can see the confusion but I personally didn't suspect confederation to float the privilege to an outside faction.

You did say you're Eataine.
Plus I'm not surprised confederation doesn't keep that mount, it can be pretty buggy with them.
Mumm-Ra 24 May, 2021 @ 10:23am 
@author Ok so I'm playing the Vortex campaign with Eataine (Tyrion). I confederated Imrik and Mikaela (the starting Fire Mage), well she isn't able to mount her Sun Dragon anymore. I was like oh crap, so I looked at another Fire Mage I had with Incendiary, she was missing the Sun Dragon mount too.

Just noticed the comment about them being recruitable from the dragon buildings, even though they're beefed up nobles and use the nobles tab and stated as nobles in the mod description?
Please consider addending this to the description as otherwise their source is not immediately clear.
ADHDoug 20 May, 2021 @ 12:31pm 
I beg you, please make this compatible with Custom Lord Creation so we can make them incendiary.
I apologize if this is already the case, I say this preemptively as I took a few minutes to test but couldn't make it to the point I could recruit a dragon mage. I built the noble building and confirmed they come from there, but none were available. Maybe I have to build the mage building as well? I don't have time to get to that point atm however and am knee-deep in a Vampire Coast campaign already, but am looking toward the future and just have this gut feeling they aren't compatible based on current experience with modded heroes and lords.
