Cold One Variants

>>>*This mod is part of the Zerg Collection Volume I, DO NOT use this mod along said collection or you'll crash. Choose one.*<<<

*Please consult the Known Issues and QA sections before commenting, thanks.*

*NOTICE* All of my screenshots are taken with my *new* certified potato pc™.
This means (at least in theory) that my custom units will look better on your high-end machine (if you do have one).
So don't be scared off by my horrible screenshots, thanks.

*NOTICEX2* All of these custom models are LOD 0 only.
This means that (aside from the units' impostor models generated at long distances) these custom units will not lose details when zooming out.
This may result in a minor or moderate impact on your FPS.

Please notice that the units' stats screenshot was taken with the unit size setting set to large, so expect more HP if you are playing on Ultra.

This mod contains some old units I made back in Warhammer 2 and a few new units made for Warhammer 3.

This mod adds all of the following units:
-Wild Horned Ones For Lizardmen (Beasts building chain and Horde Beasts building chain for Nakai)
-Feral Nauglir for Dark Elves (Beasts building chain and Horde Beasts building chain for Rakarth)
-Frost Dark Ones (Nauglir) for Norsca (Norscan Creatures building chain)
-Cinder Dark Ones (Nauglir) for Warriors of Chaos (Dark Fortress' Chaos Monsters building chain) [need the Local Recruitment mod for WoC.]
-The Ravenous Breed for Khorne (ROR unit available through the ROR pool after reaching level 20)
-The Scheming Breed for Tzeentch (ROR unit available through the ROR pool after reaching level 20)
-The Magnificent Breed for Slaanesh (ROR unit available through the ROR pool after reaching level 20)
-The Decaying Breed for Nurgle (ROR unit available through the ROR pool after reaching level 20)
DO NOTE: While the unit will be visible from turn one with Ku'gath, Festus and Epidemius, you will NOT see it with Tamurkhan until turn two.

Ok, presentation over: let's dive into the technical stuff!

*COMPATIBILITY*

As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess too much with vanilla units.
*RoR units' pools need to be generated at the beginning of the campaign so this mod probably requires a new game.*

*KNOWN ISSUES*
-Some clipping here and there.
-While Nauglir models are compatible with the Lizardmen Cold Ones skeletons and animations there seems to be an occasional visual glitch related to specific combat animations.
I can tell you that this problem does not impact combat in any way though.
-If you are experiencing weird glowing effects on the units then please use this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2922534576 until CA officially fixes that issue.
-Missing textures with certain graphic settings/while looking from certain angles: LOD issues/missing textures issues can be caused by low settings, LOD mods, Immortal Empires bugs and/or even some faulty version of H3ro asset editor.
Translated= I generally can't do anything about that.
If you are experiencing low poly models+missing textures there isn't a common solution that works for everyone, but I managed to fix that by doing the following:
-Disable Sharpening
-Enable FXAA
-Enable Unlimited video memory

*UPDATES POLICY*

Let me be straight with you...when the mod status change from updated to outdated....if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff....know that https://media.giphy.com/media/e3URFlLQywEPC/giphy.gif


...But jokes aside: please don't do that.
When it becomes necessary, and when I can, I will update my stuff, do not worry.

*QA*

-"Lord's Red line?Tech buffs?"
I gave them generic monster and beast unit sets, so they should get buffs related to those sets.

-"SFO/Radious ecc. ?"
As a matter of fact I'm officially retired from SFO/Overhaul related mods.
As always: If you already have previous experience in SFO submodding feel free to make an SFO version out of any of my mods that are currently missing one, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.

-"Your mods are ugly and janky, why? just why?"
Here's a friendly reminder: I'm just an amateur and nothing more.
If you want beautiful stuff with no jank then stick with CA and/or professional modders and avoid my mods, simple as that really.

And that's all I guess!
Credits time!
