NNOBBs - Never Obsolete AI Lords

"Ah, finally. I've united Ulthuan and have secured all the port cities. I have raised many powerful armies and Tyrion has all his artefacts. I think I should be quite prepared once I reach the shores of Naggaroth to face my arch-nemesis, Malekith. Oh boy, I wonder how powerful he's beco-..wait... wtf??? Why's he still level 4??? MUUUUUUUH IMMERSIOOOOOOOOOOOOOON AAAARGHHH WHAT THE FUUU~~!@!#!@##@$!$!$@$!@#"- Me

Have you ever had a situation like this? I sure have. So, my buddy and I got together to make a mod that would solve this immersion-breaking crisis.

If you're the kind of person who gets really tired of seeing under-levelled AI legendary lords or want to have a bigger challenge when facing them, then this could be the mod for you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Gives AI legendary lords bonus experience every four turns so they can get ahead of their regular lord counterparts. They should become more significant in your campaigns thanks to this change.

- After every 10 levels they gain gradually less experience until they reach level 30. After that they won't receive any bonus XP. This is done to make AI legendary lords more formidable in the early-mid game, but late game they'll have to do most of the work themselves.

(You can see on the screenshots the estimated level that legendary lords have on turn 25.)

- As you might have guessed, this mod only applies to the AI. Once the player confederates an AI faction, the legendary lords from that faction will stop gaining bonus XP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod is not for the faint of heart. It WILL make your campaigns more difficult and the purpose is to make AI lords into dangerous boss-tier encounters. If you play slow, you will fall behind. This can also lead to potentially undesired situations where if you confederate a legendary lord from your race, they will most likely have out-level'ed you.

If you want a more laid back experience, then I highly suggest you try the lite version of the mod. The link is further below.

My recommendation is that you use this version ONLY if you are confident with the faction that you're playing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHICH CHARACTERS DOES THIS MOD APPLY TO?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- All base-game and DLC legendary lords and legendary heroes ( meaning Green Knight and Lord Kroak).

- Mixu's Legendary Lords

- Cataph's High Elf Sea Patrol's Aislinn

- We'z Spehul

- Cataph's Southern Realms

- Project Resurrection: Parte's Legendary

- SFO: Grimhammer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR ALL SFO: GRIMHAMMER USERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A very light version of this mod has already been integrated into SFO: GRIMHAMMER. If you wish to play a more challenging campaign then you should keep both these mods activated. This mod will simply overwrite the light version of itself from SFO. But if you prefer a lighter experience then just deactivate it when using it with SFO.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This should be compatible with every other mod, since it's a custom LUA script that runs separately from all others.
To the best of my knowledge there's no other mod in the workshop that does the same thing as this one.

As far as I know, it has only been integrated into SFO: Grimhammer and Minos' Better AI mod.

Legendary Lords and Heroes introduced the already listed mods simply gain xp over time.

It's also save-compatible.

If you find any issues, then please let us know.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lite-Version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For anyone who feels like this version of the mod gives lords too much XP and they don't wanna be outpaced by them, subscribe to the mod in the link below. DO NOT activate both mods. Only use one of them.

Special thanks to

Vandy, Blue Cat, Drunk Flamingo and all others from the C&C Modding Den who helped us finish this mod. Without their help and patience, we would probably not have finished it any time soon.

Big thanks to lc1999 as well, for compiling a ton of unique characters from other mods and adding them to this one. The unique lords they added are from the following mods:
- Cataph's Kraka Drak
- Mixu's Mousillon
- Elon's Greybeard's Prospectors
- WsF' Vampire Bloodlines: The Strigoi
- Lilaeth by Lthelis
- TDKillen's Legendary Lords
- Nagarythe Expanded by VanguardMk1
- Mixu's: Vangheist's Revenge
- Kaylica's Lahmians
- Swords of the Emperor by Xoudad
- ER: Kislev Reborn
- Skarr Bloodwrath Legendary Lord
- OVN
- Tomb Kings: Extended
- Sceolan
- Bad Legendary Lord

We initially made this mod to use it for our own campaigns, but in time we thought we might as well release it for everyone else to try out.

Hope you all enjoy!
