Affinity Requirements post-Dragon Dawn DLC
Been thinking about this since they revealed that Dragon Lords will start with an extra affinity point, but do you guys have any thoughts on Tier 2 and Tier 3 requiring 1 and 3 affinity points respectively with their introduction? I think perhaps that Tier 3 could possibly be bumped up to 4 points required, while Tier 2 could be left as is. If you have anything to say then feel free to share your opinion.

there are 2 other mods with requirement of 4 affinity for T3 tomes. But it completely ruin idea of using hero with corresponding starting skill (or 1 tome+1 civic/ruler skill) to unlock t3 tomes. If you want to add requirement to tome of dragons - why not just make it require 1 nature and 1 chaos affinity? I think in most situations gaining 1 affinity in other branch is equally hard as gaining 2 affinity in your main branch.

Tome of Dragons was actually an oversight on my part, as I forgot to even consider its introduction to the game in relation to this mod. Interestingly, the open beta now has T3 tomes requiring 3 affinity points, with an exception for Tome of Dragons which doesn't require any affinity. I've come to think that this is actually for the better, as requiring affinity points from two different affinities just to unlock Tome of Dragons is rather prohibitive, so I'm gonna leave it as it is right now. I don't see a better solution to the issue of T3 hybrid tome requirements right now, and if Triumph end up releasing more T3 hybrid tomes in the future I guess we'll see how they're gonna tackle those.

Regarding the rest of the mod I'm also gonna leave things as they are right now. I'm also not sure whether I'm gonna keep on using this mod myself, as the new affinity requirement for most T3 tomes was my main desire to implement as part of this mod. I won't delete the mod, but there's enough work being done already on tome affinity requirements that I'm sort of getting satisfied personally. May end up reducing T5 requirements to 9 points instead of 10 points, will see though.
