Cloak and Dagger Tomes [3.0]

描述
Overview
A collection of Tomes inspired by the Rogue class from AoW3, themed around in flanking, blinding, deception, debuffs and shadow magic. In addition to paying homage to a classic AoW archetype I also wanted to enable a Shadow Affinity playstyle that is independent from necromancy and ice magic.

Features
  • Tome of Whispers - tier 1 - Employ infiltrators to sabotage and spy on your enemies. Specialize in underhanded Flanking attacks. Features the Lesser Shadow Stalker and Cutthroat and Charlatan units.
  • Tome of Vice - tier 2 - Embrace crime and depravity to exploit your people and subvert your enemies with sinful temptation. Features the Succubus unit.
  • Tome of Darkness - tier 3 - Wield darkness to conceal your forces and torment your foes. Specialize in preying on isolated enemies. Features the Shadow Stalker unit.

Compatibility
No changes to any of the base game .rpk files.

The Tome of Darkness includes the Veil of Darkness spell which I copied from the Tome of the Cold Dark. I have made a small optional mod for the Tome of the Cold Dark to replace this skill with a new one and rename the Tome to make it purely ice themed. Using this mod is entirely up to preference, both are fully functional as standalone mods.

The Cutthroat unit evolves into the Shade unit from the Ways of War DLC. For users without the DLC the Cutthroat will show that it has an Evolve property but it will not be functional in game, and it will instead gain the standard rank-up bonus at Legend Rank. This is the only part of the mod that requires the DLC, everything else should work without it.

Integrations
This mod is now integrated with Komogi's Unique Unit Rank Bonuses mod! To enable the integration you simply need to have both this mod and Unique Unit Rank Bonuses enabled, this will cause the Cutthroat, Succubus and Shadow Stalkers to have unique rank bonuses.

Thanks Komogi!

Known Issues
  • If this mod is causing the Tome of Shades from the WoW DLC to be replaced then you are either stuck on an older version of this mod, or you have a leftover backup .zip file from an older version of this mod somewhere in the mod folder. I have removed the backup file on my end but this will not automatically remove it from your workshop folders. So this problem will unfortunately need to be fixed on your end; my recommendation is to check the folder (Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1669000\2989849682) to check if it has a "Rogue_Tomes_v1_backup" folder and delete it. Or just delete the entire mod folder and redownload a fresh copy of the mod. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Other
I would like to shout-out the helpful folks at the AoW Official Modding Discord, especially:
  • Timber who created the Tome art for the 1.0 version.
  • Lord Vectra and Shadow Rytes for their playtesting and feedback for the new version.
  • Komogi for creating the Unique Unit Rank Bonuses integration and Daniel for figuring out how to set up optional dependencies which made it possible to do without a separate compatibility mod.

If anything, the actual muckup is Necro could've been hybrid, as earth and undeath themes have some natural affinity. But the routes they took precluded that. At the end of the day, I just like to adhere to the implied thematic synergy that the mechanics suggest.

The thing is, Shadow really covers the vast majority of the supernatural in this one, same as Shades. Otherwise, the damage channels are cold and -physical-, and again, the resource angles are all around gold and knowledge.

Fact is, I'd argue very little about this is "chaos", besides the overly vague implications of havoc magic. It probably actually is just pure shadow, but I cannot miss that Shades slots in perfectly to the three, and the three slot perfectly with Shades. If I had my druthers, Oblivion would've been re-fit as well, since the Fog also shares the armor-piercing shtick.

I agree that mechanically making it mat/shadow would be good, although thematically I reckon shadow/chaos makes a lot more sense.... Saying that, maybe the Tome of Vice could be mat/shadow, especially with the avarice/materialistic desire for gold angle. The only issue there is the Succubus not being particularly Material-coded..

These tomes are awesome, and badly needed for the theme. My only request, and I understand if not... can they be Mat/Shadow instead, to better match Tome of Shades? I actually also think they lean into it due to the focus on gold/resources on one end, and darkness and underground always comes together in my mind. Plus, easier Creator access for a buff to Stalkers.

Griffon Patch update is complete, details can be found under change notes. You might need to un-sub and re-sub to force the mod to update to the most recent version.

If you find any issues I missed please let me know.

nice patch, i lke the changes, my brother in law and me having a lots of fun with your mod in multiplayer!

Ah noted. Now that you mention the Succubus is actually using the same Seduce ability as the Nymph. It's been a while since I looked at them so I forgot.
Nexious 7 月 11 日 上午 1:15 
Yeah, sorry about the confusion. I did notice later that the Nymph's seduce was able to do that also. I had not encountered Nymphs often enough to take notice do that.
Montegomery 7 月 10 日 上午 11:41 
Nexious is actually wrong, there are abilities which can Dominate heroes, such as the Nymph's Seduce and some Eldritch Sovereign abilities.
