Lost Calm: Jurassic Normal (updated for patch 5.1)

Special thank you to Lingling for rebalancing the statlines. It was much needed. Expedition dinos should feel less OP now.
I also fixed the issue of Gekolo units tails standing straight up upon dying.
Tried, really did try, to start writing short unit descriptions but I just don't have the focus to write 40 + text blurbs. If anybody would like to tackle this please reach out.

Adds new dinosaur units for Lizardmen, as well as a new campaign mechanic for acquiring them.

Guided by the sacred plaques, the Lizardmen have been drawn to several areas of unremarkable wilderness scattered across the southern hemisphere. Here they discovered paths to hidden landscapes, prehistoric nature reserves, each inhabited by primeval creatures. Many of these ancient animals were thought to have been extinct. Clearly the Old Ones had wished them to be preserved, and to be re-introduced to the world. But it will require a deft approach. For now, the other races remain oblivious, and must remain so, by any means necessary.

There are a total of 37 units to collect.
29 units divided across the 7 sites
8 units available through dilemmas and narrative events

A map is available in the expedition menu showing which sites contain which dinosaurs.
Players should note that Itza is not a destination.
The units displayed there are acquired through dilemmas which can occur at any of the sites.


These work like caravans, wherein you recruit an expedition chief, pick a destination, and face dilemmas and battles. Unlike caravans, expedition teams don’t move across the map and they are always hidden from enemy armies. They are imagined to be stationed at covert monitoring posts outside the sites, awaiting orders to cross the border. As such, they appear instantly at the target site and remain there, in hidden encampment stance, until their work is completed.

When mounting an expedition, the player will be asked to set a goal. An expedition’s goal will determine the rewards it gives. The 1st two options are available immediately. The 3rd and 4th require levelling up your expedition chiefs and investing points in their skilltree.

• Field Research: Temporary faction-wide research bonus
  
• Egg Collection: Many low tier dinos plus 1 or 2 mid tier dinos
  
• Herd Extraction: A balanced mix of mid tier dinos
  
• Live Capture: High tier dinos.

Specimens refers to the resource gathered by expeditions. It determines the quantity of rewards received, giving a higher number of units or a higher research bonus. There are a few ways to gain more specimens.

• committing more gold to funding expeditions
  
• through dilemmas
  
• by defeating trespassers
  
• by levelling up expedition chiefs and buying skills

Frequently, warmbloods will stumble across the sites and the player will have to choose whether to ignore or attack them. Be aware that ignoring trespassers will result in your expeditions being ambushed by the indigenous natives of the sites. You may want to deliberately take this on however, as beating them in battle is the only way to unlock certain units.

Adversaries are notable trespassers who will repeatedly invade the sites and attack expeditions. Each adversary must be defeated on 3 occasions before they are vanquished permanently. There are 4 adversaries and 4 unique rewards locked behind vanquishing them in the form of powerful units.

The conditions for triggering their appearance are: (spoilers)

• Event 1: Complete any kind of expedition to all 7 sites.
  
• Event 2: Complete a herd extraction expedition to 4 different sites.
  
• Event 3: Complete a live capture expedition to any 3 different sites.
  
• Event 4: Win 3 of the ambush encounters that start occurring after the player has elected to ignore 3 groups of trespassers.

Ai lizardmen will recruit the units in this mod, gaining them at a similar rate to the player. This is regardless of whether the player is playing as lizardmen or not
