I still like your take on the duo better than the new and improved CA take. They really should be one unit. Regardless, thank you very much for many hours of fun with Ye Old Skool G and F. I remember the joy of soloing armies and defending settlements in hopeless battles. You really captured the magic of the books.

I haven't updated the mod, and I've had a hard time trying to "adapt" something more modern. It's rather discouraging, and I doubt at this point I'll ever finish. If this mod works with the modern game I have no clue though.

Anybody Know if its still working? i was pleasantly surprised the mod author came back after my first comment.

rip mod

So little update here: a desire to jump back into TWW3 combined with things quieting down a bit for me has allowed me to start work on the "spiritual successor" to this mod. In short, it'll allow the new Gotrek and Felix, along with Ulrika, to be recruitable by all the listed factions in the old mod (Make what you will of Ulrika being recruitable by the Tomb Kings). So far, I think it'll be script-based so it'll be easier and less work to keep up-to-date going forward and won't require compatibility to work with things like SFO or Radious.

Well it was fun while it lasted, thank you.

aww i liked having double the gotreks. thank you for all your hard work updating this awesome and fun mod over the years

@tristincv I've pretty much retired this mod, so I won't be updating it.

5.2 wrecked everything again. Any chance of an update?

A real shame, I much prefer this mod over ca's version

Thanks so much for making this, it really was a much needed mod!
Cheers pal!

Thanks for this work (been using it forever now) and all I can say to the updated mod description is.

Do.
Not.
Abandon.

Yeah, I love your mod. It's more lore friendly with Gotrek and Felix fighting back to back rather than being separate units. I also don't even like playing Lords like Karl Franz without body guards mods enabled. It's weird to have the emperor fighting alone. It's also more in line with classic total war to have groups rather than single heroes. I still remember the BOTET mod for this reason. Your mod of the most popular characters in the series is still better than vanilla even with the update.

Hey man don't abandon this! I love this mod!

Despite being smaller in scope than the many major overhauls, this was one of my favorite mods, and I still believe there's a uniqueness to your version consolidating both heroes as a single two-entity unit. Thanks for all your efforts in keeping it going so long!

just wanted to say thanks! I mean, without the modding community that game isn't even half as good. ty!

thank you for what you've done. Because of a dumb thing made by CA i couldn't have gotrek and felix on my steam account, but your mod allowed me to use them

thanks！

thanks！

I fell in love with their stories and I am so thankful for the work you have done.
Being able to have them run around Malice and create or re enact some of their stories has been one of my favorite things about this game.

Thank you for the wonderful mod. One that made the developers put more effort in the official product. I hope you are doing well and may your modding practices be recognized for their true worth.

Thank's man for your effort in making this, it is been awsome to play whit it =)

Thanks, it's been a pleasure to play with your version of them

Hey Chapter!

I just want to say a huge thank you for the time and effort you put into this mod in 2 and 3. I used it for ever campaign since I first came across it. ♥

Appreciate your hard work on the mod that gave me years of enjoyment. I wouldn't be surprised if the popularity of your mod incentivized CA to come up with their own version of it

Thank you very much for yr excellent work. It was a pleasure for me. Your mod brought the right warhammer feeling.

Update regarding the planned changes to Vanilla Gotrek and Felix has been posted at the top of the description.

actually not working for High Elves.

The mod it's GREAT especially because i couldn't use gotrek and felix anymore because i had already redeemed their FLC for epic games.
The only thing that i would suggest is to nerf them a little bit (or meaby the creation of a "nerf submod")

As i said before, GREAT mod!

hunt showdown,

I agree. They are almost singly holding up the bad guys in my Empire, Bret, and Dwarf campaigns. I don't know any of those three factions would do without the duo. I can only hope that CA releases the "Champion" hero type for Kislev, so they are not left alone! ;)

By the way, don't you think the mass of the combined unit is so strangely low? It's 600! For reference, Felix vanilla alone is 800 and Gotrek is 1500. And combined they are 600? Might want to fix that.

I can agree G&F are overpowered, but I also think it's needed right now. We've gone from Ordertide to Greentide to Chaostide. I think they could use higher upkeep to offset it.

@Kharnath I've never tested it in mutliplayer. I can't say one way or the other.

is this multiplayer compatible?

Gotrek is a very powerful character in lore, so he should be powerful. Besides, Jesus does Empire need help at the moment, and he provides it.

bro seems Op you get so much for such little upkeep and no recruit cost also lvl 5 Gotrek gets 25% ward save?

Thanks for the quick response! That's good news then; they are quite strong, and I was a bit afraid of AI factions acquiring them - especially in a lore-unfriendly fashion! ;)

1. I did do some skill tree changes some time ago.
2. The way the mod is rigged up, they only populate into the hero pool of human controlled factions. So as long as you're playing one of the factions that the unit is available to, you'll get the hero and no one else.
3. Yeah, you get the ability that the vanilla versions get via their equipment.

Two further questions, friend:

1. Any plan to let us choose what faction gets them via MCT?

2. Can you acquire their vanilla items - i.e., Gotrek's axe and Felix's sword with this mod? (Edit: I guess you get them as ability in this mod...)

Chapter Serf,

Did you make drastic changes to the skill three within the last 8 months or so? I haven't played the game in a while, and the skill tree is dramatically improved. Your mod is clearly the best Gotrek mod now, and I hope you do not abandon it...

Of course CA "truly cares" (whatever that means) about the game. If they didn't they wouldn't keep making content for it or delay things and add more content, or lower the price of one their games because people wanted it. They are also a business and have to care about it too, which gamers don't have to. People are just mad that they don't do things exactly some people want, and then assume malice because it's human nature and very common for gaming communities to view developers as "malicious" or" uncaring" whenever they have a disagreement. It's not even anything new. I still remember ETW and R2 days. I don't think that should kill your motivation. The game we all love hasn't gone anywhere.

@stark_vanhelsing19 I have never had this mod rigged all the way up for Kislev.

Sorry to bother, I recently played with Kislev and he never gave me the option to recruit him. When building the tavern in the building it does say that Gotrek and Felix will appear there, but when I went to the Heroes panel a red icon appeared and it said that it did not have the necessary building, but it did not give me the name of that building. I had played with Kislev before and never saw this problem or in other factions. :(

Thank you.

@Tunch Khan As of right now, I don't have a ton of motivation to work on my mods. As I said earlier, I'm still unsure if CA truly cares about TWW3, and that has killed my motivation. However, if I am wrong, and CA really is trying to do things right, I will strongly consider adding them to Araby in the future.

Can Araby get them as well please? They look less scary than tomb kings, no?

thanks for the update!

This is so awesome to hear I've been keeping this mod followed in case Cathay got it. Now just CA needs a Kislev and we'll have everyone

Awesome; thanks! I will then switch over to this mod from the other popular Gotrek mod.

Updated. Now works in Cathay's campaign.
