Mixed Lores - Spellcaster Overhauls

Updated for "Total War: WARHAMMER II – The Hammers & Herdstones".



This mod features a custom ui that allows you to put together your prefered mixed lore of magic. Supported lord types are Mazdamundi, a custom mixed lores version of the Slann Mage Priest (provided by my More Slann Options mod), Morathi, Teclis, Alarielle, Archaon, Malagor and the Fay Enchantress as well as Mixu's Belannaer and Lord Huinitenuchli.

Both in Warhammer Fantasy lore and in TT rules, especially 6ed, Slanns enjoyed more freedom with their choice of spells. Their current skilltrees don't reflect this. You get a mixed lore but it's always the same selection.
The following Tabletop rules served as inspiration for this mod.
Mixed Lores was inspired by these Tabletop rules...

The TT rules for Archaon, Malagor and the Fay provide the choice between different lores of magic (spell groups) instead of mixed lores of magic (spell groups).
To incentivice the use of entirely different lores of magic, all three Lords have access to all their basic spells at level 1. They are limited by their available spell slots though - only one slot at campaign start. Skills that increase the number of spell slots are available every 5 levels. To reduce cooldown, winds of magic cost, miscast chance as well as to unlock the overcast you'd still have to specialize in a certain lore of magic.
The goal was to give the player an incentive to use different lores of magic by reducing the number skillpoints needed for spells to be used effectively while gating them behind level restrictions to ensure they don't become to overpowered too early.
Future plans for Mixed Lores

The Mixed Lores mod uses ui elements utilizing Vanishoxyact's UI Modding Framework.
Therefore, subscribing to the UI Modding Framework is required for this mod to work properly!

• Restructured skill trees for all featured lords.
  
• Custom UI to freely choose 6 spells out of the 8 Lores of Battle (Beasts / Death / Fire / Heavens / Life / Light / Metal / Shadows) as well as the Lore of High Magic for a total of 54 spells and 9 lore passives for Mazdamundi, Lord Huinitenuchli and Slann Mage Priests.
  
• Two new abilities for Mazdamundi: "The Focused Rumination" and "Walk between Worlds"
  
• Custom UI to freely choose 6 spells out of two Lores of Battle (Death / Shadows) as well as the Lore of Dark Magic for a total of 18 spells and 3 lore passives for Morathi.
  
• Two new skills for Morathi: " Arnzipal's Black Horror " and "Beloved of Khaine"
  
• Custom UI for Alarielle to freely choose 6 spells out of two Lores of Battle (Life / Light) as well as the Lore of High Magic for a total of 18 spells and 3 lore passives.
  
• Custom UI for Teclis and Belannaer to choose a spell list consisting of spells in the Lore of High Magic and one of each of the eight Lores of Battle Magic (Beasts / Death / Fire / Heavens / Life / Light / Metal / Shadows) for a total of 54 spells and 9 lore passives.
  
• Custom UI for Huinitenuchli to freely choose 6 spells out of the 8 Lores of Battle as well as the Lore of High Magic.
  
• Custom UI and skilltrees for the Fay Enchantress, Archaon and Malagor
  
• 3 additional (one-time-use) abilities inspired by 5th Edition Bretonnia Army Book and Eevi's Legendary Lord Spell Overhauls

1. Convenience: Having to click through 9 different lore circles while in battle, is no fun.
2. Balance: Having free choice over 6 spells is already powerful enough.

Unfortunatly I did not expect that at the time I startet with the project. While utilizing the respec method would look cleaner, the custom ui has a few advantages aswell, e.g. access in the pre battle stage.

No.

If the mod in question does NOT change spell related skills, Yes! - e.g. CTT.
If the mod in question does change spell related skills, No! - e.g. Eevi's Legendary Lord Spell Overhauls, SFO.
If you want to make a compatibility or translation submod yourself, you have my permission! Feel free to contact me via discord or steam if you have questions.

Coop: No, the mod would need a substantial rework to properly work in mp.
Custom battles: Although you can pick more than 6 spells for Mazdamundi you always end up with only 6 in battle.

For the AI the feature works pseudo-random. If the AI allocates skillpoints in more than 6 different spell enabling skills then they get a random selection out of their available spellpool whenever they fight a player in a manuell battle. For ai vs ai, all spells with allocated skillpoint, are enabled to ensure they don't get a disadvantageous autoresolve result.

Huge thanks to Mixu for granting me permission to work on Mixed Lores skill trees for his Belannaer and Lord Huinitenuchli.
