Nanu's Skaven Tweaks

This is the culmination of 4 of my other mods, all packed into one mod aimed at tweaking, but not entirely overhauling, the Skaven. The mods included in this pack are

• Skaven Undercities Redone
  
• True Vermintide
  
• Mounts for Skaven Legendary Lords
  
• Summoned Units Rout instead of Dying

You do not need any of these mods to run this one, all of their functionality has been streamlined and added to this mod, with the exception of Summoned Units Rout instead of Dying, which affects all summons, not just Skaven summons (You can run both or only one of them without a problem).

This mod is fully Mod Configuration Tool compatible, allowing you to pick and choose which aspects of the mod you want to use in your game. Don't like the undercity battle mechanic? Disable it. Don't like the new abilities? Disable them too. Want to make your undercities spread at 100% rate? Sure why not, rip to ur cpu.

The other mods will continue to be updated as well, but will be phased out as this one grows and becomes more optimized, starting with True Vermintide, which currently works with the Twisted and the Twilight update and will not be updated from now on.

• Undercity Battle mechanic: When you or the AI destroys an undercity, an army of Skaven belonging to the owner of that undercity will be created and force an underground battle with the settlement garrison.
  
  • The Skaven army is based on the buildings in the undercity, strip mines give Warp Grinders, raiding camp gives Clanrats, etc.
    
  • Can be disabled in the Mod Configuration Tool
• Undercity Ascension: When the settlement above your undercity is razed in the vanilla game, your undercity is razed too. This not only makes no sense but it punishes the player for the AI's crappy defenses. Now when the city above is razed, your Skaven take over the ruins, bringing their buildings with them.
  
  • The chance of this ascension is adjustable in the Mod Configuration Tool.
• Undercity Spread Chance: Undercities spreading too slow? Have mineshafts built in all your undercities and you still only spread once every 5 turns? Well turn up the percentage and watch your underempire grow.
  • Does not affect the building tooltips, but will increase the chance.
    
  • Under Empire chance of spreading can be adjusted in the Mod Configuration Tool
• War Camp Additional Units: Add additional units to the War Camp army that spawns when you complete a War Camp undercity building.
  
  • Additional units will be based on the buildings in the undercity.
    
  • Check the Google Sheet[docs.google.com] for a detailed list of all undercity units
    
  • Can be disabled in the Mod Configuration Tool
  
  
  
  
  True Vermintide
  • Vermintide! - Skaven infantry and weapon teams are given the Vermintide! ability, which will summon a small group of Skavenslaves when they're in melee combat and below half health.
    
    • Elite Skaven infantry like Stormvermin and Plague monks summon Clanrats instead of Skavenslaves.
      
    • Weapon teams and artillery summon Skavenslaves at any health level if they get into melee combat.
      
    • Can be disabled in the Mod Configuration Tool
  • Kill Eat the Wounded! - Clanrats, Skavenslaves, and Night Runners get the Kill Eat the Wounded! ability, which is a passive ability that ramps up when they're winning combat.
    
    • At the final tier they apply -4 leadership to the enemy and heal, regenerating models if they can.
      
    • Can be disabled in the Mod Configuration Tool
  
  
  
  
  Mounts for Skaven Legendary Lords
  • Queek and Tretch get access to both Bonebreaker and Brood Horror mounts, keeping their bonus vs infantry and bonus vs large damage.
    
  • Skrolk gains access to both a Screaming Bell and a Plague Furnace.
    
  • Warlock Engineers can mount Doomflayers and Doomwheels
  
  
  
  
  Summoned Units Rout instead of Dying
  • Summons will flee from combat instead of just dropping dead, makes for more immersive and chaotic battles.
    
  • This mod only affects Skaven summons, use the original mod to apply this mechanic to all summons (Undead will still die instead of routing).
