Tried this mod on multiple new games by itself, doesn't work.

- Updated for Ways of War!

- Updated for Eldritch Realms!

- Updated for Primal Fury!

@joel.west, I reduced the file size, shouldn't hog your save file space now.

Has anyone had any issues with this mod sine the new DLC came out? I have it disabled for now, due to the fact that they made changes to GC in the patch and I don't know if that would cause any conflicts.

All I think this needs is a version number update, it works fine.

I noticed today that after the golem game update my game save file is 4x bigger than it would be with 76 added mods compared to the 24 basic mods I 'must have' to play the game

your mod did not add all of that but to a two player small map save file it adds 130 kb. that may not sound like much but prior to the golem update this is over half the 220 kb entire save file size for a two player small map game

please post if you can figure out how to fix this. until then I am tempted to turn off this mod (along with other save file space hogs). which is a shame since this mod makes balances out Gaia's Chosen which is my favorite major face transform

- Updated for Empires & Ashes!

- Updated for Dragon Dawn!

Will you update these to work with Wyvern/Dragon Dawn? And also, Dragon dawn seems to remove the hair for Gaia's chosen.

@Lordlynel, Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

@jjmalyen, Oh I know, I don't have any problem with mods like this, I just felt the not buffing anything statement felt kinda disingenuous (though likely unintentionally so)

@jjmalyen, You're welcome!

Lordlynel, if you don't like the mod just move on.... no one says you have to use it! Thankyou Farsight for all your mods, your work is truly appreciated...

@Lordlynel, I made mods that gives Life Steal to Demonkin, Ethereal to Astral Attunement, Resurgence to Wightborn, Buffed Soulwell and Buffed Necromancer etc.

I buffed many things, not just Gaia's Chosen and Angelize. I got 3 mods for the Undead alone, I know they suffered from Soul starved issues and is vulnerable to Spirit Damage.

I even made No Screen Shake! mod, many people suffered from dizziness.

So take your pick, I'm sure there must be at least one mod that suits your taste.

Meanwhile Gaia's chosen not only enables powerful combos of its own, (natures avenger key among them) but it also makes your rank and file far more resilient, with a substantial health boost , charge resistance that allows them to annihilate shock units without heavy charge, (which is a lot of them, and they usually counter low tier units) and a lot of status resistance to make them much more resilient to a variety of debuffing AOEs. I wouldn't say it is always better than wightborn, and you can get wightborn earlier, but it is generally more powerful.

To conclude, while I understand the mod giving regen to angelize, since it gives the transformation more options outside of shrine of smiting synergy, and that transformation isn't that strong anyway. But natural regen synergizes very well with the horde strategy gaia's chosen encourages, and gaia's chosen is already arguably the best major racial transformation in the game.

You are kinda buffing things though? Like it's your mod, you can do what you like, but while I could kinda see what you meant with angelize, since it is mostly built around shrine of smiting synergy, but gaia's chosen is already generally stronger than wightborn. While the morale loss immunity is useful, it also prevents you from gaining high morale bonuses (without revelers heart, which is a nice combo for wightborn), and lifesteal is pretty good, especially on higher tier units, mid to late game, units often die in bursts of damage that lifesteal isn't too helpful with, and the fire and spirit vulnerabilities of wightborn make them very vulnerable to many common AOEs. To be fair, making your units into undead is the main advantage of wightborn, since they become much easier to resurrect, but the other effects aren't that powerful.

Warbreed has innate Natural Regeneration, and can be made plant since it's a racial unit.

Even without my mod, that strategy is already in the game. I'm not buffing anything just adding variety since now you can use other racial units like Tyrant Knight and it will have Regeneration just like Warbreed.

One thing you missed (which is not suprising since it is not directly mentioned):
Gais Choosen turns your Units into Plants, which lets them be effected by all skills and enchantments that effect plants. like the Skill Natures Avenger (5 Strengthend for all Plants in a 2 hex radius) or the enchantment Force of Nature (+4 Blight Damage, +20% crit chance).
What makes Gaias Choosen so strong is not the buffs it gives but the synergies it enables.

First time seeing someone say Wightborn is the strongest transform...

Do what you want I guess, though I've always found higher HP better than lifesteal since things can't lifesteal if they're dead.

Yeah but it's also -4 fire and spirit resist, neither of which are exactly uncommon elements.

Wightborn is arguably the best Major Race Transformation in the game.

Being Undead, you have +2 Frost & Blight resistance, immunity to poisoned, -100% modifier to morale change and Life Steal !!!

While Vanilla Gaia's Chosen has Charge resistance, +3 Status Resistance and +20 HP...

With Life Steal, I can get 10 HP back easily just by attacking, 15 with fast weapons (5 HPx3).

Giving Gaia's Chosen Natural Regeneration is fair and thematically fitting in my opinion.

Gia's Chosen does already have a significant synergy with Force of Nature, as it makes your units plants which lets the +4 blight damage and +20% crit chance apply to your racial units.
