nice

this is the same mod, updated
https://steamproxy.net/workshop/filedetails/?id=2307578874

and this is its submod
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2307579910

the crash is due to one line of code referencing an old key for the great eagle's weapon damage. take a minute to get working.. atleast its working so far for me

Too bad its broken now, it was amazing to be able to summon lore friendly beasts.

Mate, love the mod! any chance you will be updating it? it crashes the game after the latest dlc

wish someone would pick this up, its a very nice change that should be in the game imo

Needs an update causes CTD as of Grim and Grom

Please be advised: results in crash to desktop after Grim/Grom patch.

Please come back and update this General Kenobi! We miss this mod so much!

If you want SFO integration, have at 'er. Shouldn't be the mod author's responsibility to make it compatible with something many of us don't use.

Heck, I'd love for it to be compatible with "Summons Don't Degrade" but I wouldn't say this mod needs it. The mod is good as is.

love the idea too, but needs better integration with other mods. Namely, SFO

So I just tested this mod with on other mods subbed.

I think this is cool idea, but the treeman was bugged, the eagle was bugged and the griffon was bugged. Same bug were they are stuck in their animation.
there is a problem when picking spells in the custom battle. If one does not take other spells the mage/wizard start with almost every version of the spell.

Could not summon the ark of sotek, even though i had the correct lizardmen guy.

just some feedback.

Will this need an SFO compat submod?

thnx balian for making me look even more stupid than usual. i dident click to see if there were more spells after the first transformation of kadon option in the custom battles screen. turns out they were there all along, sigh...do have to use kaedrins mm though

works for me with kaedrins. I also think tehenauin should have a feral bastilladon, not ark of sotek though. it makes little sense that he can summon skinks (theres skinks on the ark of sotek), imo. i would love the alternate version!

Not working. Please update.

I hope someone will pick this up. I just dont have the talent for mods.

mod not working for me, regular launcher nor kaedrins

So my CA launcher tells me this is not updated, is that true? btw great mod, gives a lot of flavour to the spell.

Compatibility:
Should work with most mods except for ones that also edit the spell.

Will not be affected by no degredation mods (i.e. the monsters will still cumble) however in the process of developing a summons overhaul where time to degrade and number of uses will be increased, to a maximum of no degredation and unlimited summons, by investing more skill points in the spell so look out for that.

On another level, maybe you could modulate the different beast options's WoM costs to alleviate the balance issues? Say; the Transformation of Kadon that gives you a Giant Eagle could cost 3 less WoM than the one that gives you a Treeman.

Yeah, sorry btw General Kenobi. I'm still thankful for the mod. :)

@Nasynia yeah absolutely, cheers for asking first

@everyone questioning ark of sotek, I hear you I’ll see if I can add it via MCT support as an option

agreed that Ark of Sotek doesnt fit the beast theme, still very happy with different races summoning different creatures

I have to agree with Jean-Luc. A purely... well, "beastly" beast would fit better than the theme of the lore which is... well, beasts.

Hi General Kenobi, can I translate your mod into Chinese?

Spellsingers kinda get screwed by this I feel, the Eagle is just not as good, but still a great mod. I do agree that the Ark of Sotek feels strange here because the nature of the spell and the Lore of Beasts itself implies it should be a wild, untamed creature. A feral bastilladon or stegadon maybe.

Hey General Kenobi, let me start by saying I love this mod and thank you for making something that should've been in vanilla TWW2. However, I feel it would be more appropriate if Tehenhauin summoned an Ancient Salamander rather than a Bastiladon with a man-made device on its back (the Ark of Sotek). I think it would still fit with the Sotek/snake theme as well as having extreme utility as a summon. Cheers :)

Imo Tehenhauin's should probably be a feral variant, but you do you.

@Wazuuf it shouldn’t need an update but I will anyway when I’m not AFK

@NickGrady I didn’t want to change how the spell functions just wanted to make it less jarring for the good races to use as I didn’t think summoning a creature of chaos was appropriate. Therefore I wanted a flying beast ideal for targeting characters and so for the lizards the ripperdactyl was the best choice. The stats are different as they are different beasts and these were done by calculating the ratios of the Lord and Hero mount options compared to the feral manticores and applying these to the respectively mount options. I wanted to do something special for Durthu and Tehenhuin and the Treeman and Ark of Sotek made the most sense.

out of curiosity why wouldn't you have given the lizardmen either a carnosaur or a bastiladon?

"One Star, that is not what the Transformation of Kadon does."
We know. We *also* know that, for whatever reason, unit transformations don't work, hence why it was implemented as a summon.

@Wazuuf
The Warhammer Launcher almost always says that. Use the Total War Mod Manager instead.

the warhammer launcher says this is outdated, is this true or does it not require an update

CA would make this game so much sexier with detail choices like this. The amount of copy+paste in Warhammer is probably its biggest rough point. Hopefully CA can let their artists go (or hire modders) and really customize everything.

This should be in the main-game.

I hope for a sfo version one day ^^

One Star, that is not what the Transformation of Kadon does. It is a high level spell that is supposed to turn your wizard into a beast. It is random in that he could turn into a griffon, hyppogryph, or even a DRAGON!

i always expect the Skink Priests to summon a Feral Stegadon, the Terradon feels a little bit underwhelming.

Very cool!!!

Always wondered why the Empire and Lizardmen were summoning disgusting Chaos beasties, good job.

wow awesome!

same as last comment

Might be a dumb question, but will this play nice with the "Summons don't degrade" mod?

Beautiful

This is really cool!

I love this sooo much. Well fucking done. This is beautiful. At first I was going to express a little disappointment with a feral Ripperdactyl, but only because I thought that's what Tehenhauin was getting as well. Well done, sir.

nice but is that summoned unit only there for that battle or can it be recruited after wards for normal upkeep or something?

brillant mod

Hello there!
