Cultist Expansion: Oracle of Tzeentch

In 1 collection by Alshua
Cultist Expansion: Full Series
7 items
Description
Adds the Cult Oracle, a Cultist Hero with Heavens magic, to Tzeentch's forces. She has six visual variants, half of which are women from Cathay, and half of which are women from Old World territories. All six have their own unique mask.

New!
The Cult Oracle is now included in a combined mod collection entitled Alshua's Cultists.

Lore
The Cult Oracles are fortune-tellers, prophetesses, Astromancers, and Celestial Mages who have been corrupted into the service of Tzeentch. Heavens Magic in Total War is mostly represented by weather effects, but its primary role is reading the heavens to predict the future. Thus, the Oracle allows Tzeentch access to what is, in lore, one of his core schools of magic.

In Warhammer Fantasy lore, Cathay is the target of what may be Tzeentch's grandest designs, and Cults of Tzeentch are particularly powerful there. Thus, many of the Oracles are Cathayan. They differ not only in skin tone, mask, and facial details, but also in the sorts of items they carry around, and even their height (slightly shorter than the Old World women).

Design
In-game, she is almost identical to the male Cultist, with only her school of magic and her summoneds unit changing. I want her to feel like a natural, fully balanced part of the game. The male Cultist of Tzeentch has been renamed "Cult Acolyte", a name which implies his use of fire, to avoid confusion. To match the Oracle, he has been given a second summon option (Chaos Furies) and made recruitable by Vilitch also. No other changes have been made to the Cultist of Tzeentch.

Instead of Pink Horrors, the Oracle summons either Furies or Screamers of Tzeentch (to represent her connection to the sky). Her special "Maddened Furies" are identical to normal Furies of Tzeentch, except that they are Unbreakable. They decay like normal summons.

The Oracle has a heavily customized Warshrine, based around a "celestial globe," which is a device used by early astronomers. Instead of a fat demon, she has a cool statue of a Chaos Fury (the design is from my Furies Reskin).

Part of the Cultist Expansion Collection
Factional Furies Reskin - Strongly recommended for use with this mod, since it will make the summoned Maddened Furies of Tzeentch look cooler.

@Vlad Draculea - Only if you use the compilation version, called "Alshua's Cultists."

this is available to darmon prince's hero recruitment?

@thomas00275 - So, just the three Cathayan-skinned variants? Not all Cult Oracles? What do you mean by hovering "over" them (their models in combat? Their unit cards? The recruitment tab?). And what faction are you playing as? That's quite the strange report.

Make sure not to use this at the same time as my Cultist Compilation, of course.

Those descriptions are gold Jerry, Gold!

at first I (wrongly) assumed this would be just another hornybait mod. Yet the more I read and pictures I saw, the more I ended up respecting this. Hornybait might be a part of it, but it's not the whole deal, which I appreciate. Nice.

Thanks Alluvian for the pointer. I did this update on a train and it was a little hard to research things like that.

Hotfix
- Actually enabled recruitment of the Cult Oracle for The Changeling .

Bug/Oversight: An entry for wh3_dlc24_tze_the_deceivers is needed in: faction_agent_permitted_subtypes_tables to enable for the Changeling.

Patch 4.0 (Shadows of Change)
- Updated all skill trees to the new system introduced in Patch 4.0.
- Enabled recruitment of the Cult Oracle for The Changeling .


@Warcommissar1 - I've considered adding one lore of magic each to the male and female Tzeentch cultists. Metal, Tzeentch, and Light were the options I was considering. If I did so, I would probably limit that to the compilation version of the mod, however, to permit people to opt out.
