Empire Cult of Sigmar (New Faction) - Updated

The Empire is under attack, Ostermark is all but lost, the Skaven of Clan Kreepus run unchecked through Imperial lands, the Orcs of the bonerattlaz tribe have descended from the mountains and the undead of the Von Carsteins plunder at will, against this backdrop the "Cult of Sigmar" has been dispatched by Karl Franz to support the Elector Count Wolfram Hurtwig

I've added a Crusade mechanic as a submod as lots of people asked for it, the submod can be found here https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2271742495 (currently Updating this aux mod)

Lingling has created a Battle Standard bearers submod, which can be found here

I've linked "The great book of grudges" YouTube channel who reviewed the mod recently, you can watch the review in the video reel above

New mechanic: Faith in Sigmar allows the player to build up the levels of piety within a region, a new quick button added to the campaign wheel will show the current levels of faith within the region by overlaying coloured beams onto the campaign map, to increase this the new Sigmar temple building chain needs to be constructed in major settlements and linked to each other



The new building chain increases the faith level of the region whilst also granting recruitment access to the new Order units and providing powerful buffs to the region


by increasing the levels of faith, the region wide commandments increase in power once major settlements are linked, shown by the pips on the side of the commandment bar

• I created a shield wall fromation for the Dwarfs awhile ago, I intend to make that work for all shielded Empire troops
  
• Currently the new order units are available to all imperial factions, will be making them unique in the next update
  
• A crusade mechanic to reflect the Cult calling all forces of the empire together - completed, find the mod here

This should be compatible with most other mods, you will need Mixus Faction Unlocker to play as the "Cult of Sigmar" I have removed the dependancy requried for LL1 (although I still highly recommend you use it as well)

You require The Grim and the Grave DLC to play this mod https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/404013/Total_War_WARHAMMER__The_Grim_and_the_Grave/

To be on the safe side, start a new game, technically nothing stops you from loading this midway through a game but if you get odd behaviour, you were warned

link to the old version if you still have a save you're playing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sEqKrhkWeJjHbb9PSLkH3QZXpSBMJuiW/view?usp=sharing

To save yourself some heartache grab Kaedrins Mod Manager, it's so much better than the CA mod manager

A sub-mod is needed to play as Cult of Sigmar, currently one doesn't exist

Thank you to everyone that helped with the creation of this mod, notably Da Modding Den over on Discord, for specific call outs see the Credits here

This has been quite the undertaking and whilst i've tried to test everything i expect things to slip through the gaps, please report them here

Additionally, this is now a complete new faction as opposed to piggybacking on another faction within the unlocker as most do, if you notice anything at all that's odd please flag it as I've had to create or add support for everything

As always if you enjoy the mod, please:
