Thanks!

It does apply to AI, it does not apply to Tomes from mods

Does this apply to mod-added tomes and AI?

Updated for Archon Propechy

@Kaige if it isn't too much of a hassle, could you give a quick rundown on the process to make these requirements changes, when possible?

I'm familiar with modding other games, but the AoW4 modding tools terminology got me a bit confused.

I want to apply them to a few custom tomes and such.

Updated for Giant Kings

update?

Just checked on my end, wasn't able to reproduce the bug

For some reason when first presented with a tier 2 tome i can pick any tier 2 tome even without 2 affinity. after that choice it seems to require 2 affinity again.

It has been updated

Does dis need an update?

Does it already have Cleansing Flame already?

I was going to make a minor mod for myself to do basically the same thing, so obviously I checked beforehand if it didn't already exist.... and well, of course it does!

Thanks, and this is exactly the numbers I wanted too.

Can confirm, it's now fixed. Thank you!

@Spazz Maticus Should be fixed now

Have chu ever considered addin’ some lite restrictions to tier 1 tomes? Such as to make it so one would need 1 point in a given affinity type to select an associated tome?

@Spazz Maticus Thanks for the headsup, I will go and fix that right now

The reworked Tome of Souls is still labelled as Tome of Necromancy, although the research and tome bonuses are updated.

Do chu have a version of dis with eben stricker requirements?

nice

@Rewasder Just made the update

This will need to be updated for the new tomes, but only the tome of fey mists, wich is tier 2, the other one is 4 so it already has them.

This is a great mod. Keeps the AI more thematic in their tome picks

Awesome! Tanks chu for makin' dis!

More

Does dis make tomes more restrictive or less?

I like the idea ^^

@Puggly the Grey This mod is up to date now

Tanks chu!

It certainly doesn't work with the new Tomes, but I do plan on updating it

Does this mod still work, or does it need an update?

No

does this mod work with modded tomes?

If we set tier 1 tomes to require 1 affinity, that might further lock players in as well? Not sure if that would be worth it, but it would probably make the AI more focused and flavorful. Your purpose built shadow culture you envisioned being necromancers, wouldn't be able to just go pure order/nature tomes all the way up :)

@Asmodine Your ability to get the later tier tomes *of the affinities you already leaned into* is still possible. The idea is just to limit how much you can stray from leaning into one or a few affinities (at least before the point you got your Tier 5 tome ofc), since being able to pick and choose anything you want pre-Tier 4 kind of makes the point of having affinities matter less when you can become a rainbow

The idea of this mod is good, but the game gives too few ways to obtain affinity. Especially with the higher-tier tomes have absolutely nothing to do with the builds based off their lower tier counterparts. An example being the fire tome for tier one, two, and three in no way correlating cohesively with tier 4 and 5. There are very few games where you go all the way in a single tome type, but it's incredibly hard to "Re-spec" your affinities in the game. You get one point every 5 ruler levels from your signature skill, you get one point from the seed you build, you get a few points to start. The Tomes themselves ARE part of how you build up affinities, so losing the ability to get the later tier tomes as you progress absolutely demolishes the module design of the game. Without implementing another way to gain affinity, this essentially neuters a core design intention of the game.

@Feztis I can answer some basic questions, sure

@Kaige may I DM you about the process of making this mod? Trying to do something very similar but am not able to get it to work properly for some reason...

Thank you Kaige. Much appreciated.

I believe they are the exact same. We both just followed the logic backwards that if T5 tomes required 8 Affinity and T4 Tomes required 6 Affinity, then T3 & T2 tomes should require 4 & 2 affinity

Can someone please explain the difference between this mod and Tomes Requirements Reworked

description for Tomes Requirements Reworked
You think, your tome choices don't matter enough? This small mod introduces requirements für T3 and T4 tomes.

Tier 2 Tomes now require 2 points of their respective affinity.
Tier 3 Tomes now require 4 points of their respective affinity.

Kaige fixing the game one mod at the time, i really dig this one

IMO it might be better to reduce these requirements by 1 tome/2 tomes, so T2 tomes need one of the appropriate affinity and T3 tomes require 2. That way a player can't just freely cross-class at T2 but has enough freedom to diversify their builds so they aren't just pigeonholed into one affinity.

@CookieMagic You are correct. Thanks for catching that, I just fixed it.

also I think you missed the restriction on Tome of Summoning btw

Could you make a version where Tier 2 tomes do not require the affinity like in this mod? I think if T2 tomes require affinities then builds might be too restrictive. Thanks
