I found a problem, the archon prophecy Paladin unit with this mod on (used industroous culture)
the octagonal shield of Industrious floats above their heads in combat. disablnig the mod fixed it. I used this mod since it came out, so I gave a point award as well.

How did i miss the mod's name being this questionable lmao.

We love CBT

Hello, thank you very much for creating and sharing this amazing mod Culture Based Tome Units!
While playing, I encountered a possible issue that might be related to this mod, and I’d like to report it:

When using a magic-focused faction, the T4 Battle Mage (flying cavalry version, possibly unlocked via a tome) shows the following problems during battles:

Black lines appear at the start of the attack action, along with noticeable stuttering.
The spear tip sometimes stretches unnaturally toward the center of the screen, which seems like a model rendering issue.



I’m not entirely sure if this issue is caused by your mod, but since it involves unit expansion, it might be related to model or resource references.
If you need more details (such as screenshots or my mod load order), I can provide them.
Thank you again for your hard work, and I look forward to your response!

when play with this mod, I find pyre templar get model missing, but not sure if it's caused by other mods.

Thanks for your hard work!

Oathsworn update to the Ways of War DLC. Next step is to make all the missing Tome Units from GK to AP to all cultures except Architect. Last step then is to make all units for Architect Culture

also can I enable mid game?

does this mod add helmets to the wightborn transformation? is there a mod like that, I dislike how wightborn removes helmets in my race.

I've noticed when enabling this mod my game never makes it past the loading screen. Is there any know incompatibilities?

Bug @ chaplain. His recruitment avalaible on start, also he have original pre-patch T2 stats and grade(currently he should be T3 unit and removed from T1 faith tome to T2 beacon tome)

Ok just updated the Warbreed models, should be working now.

Also found a bug related to the Warbreed, its model got small, probably something related to the bone settings.

Just to let you guys now, I'm currently working on making sure the Tome Units appear (even with the wrong culture model). The next step is to finish up the Oathsworn units. After that is to update the new units to all cultures, and then finally work on making all tome units for the Architect Culture

Comment for Update. Since the griffon update, some units don`t show anymore.

Commenting for potential updates

Big thanks to @TheUsSenateFinanceCommittee for sponsoring the DLC. Will update it as soon as I can.

Someone with disposable income please help this modder!

I would do the updates if I have the DLC, but I did not buy it. But again, to update all the units for the new Culture would take a while, something between 10-15 days depending on my work demand.

Now that the last DLC of this season is out, any chance the mod will get updated with all the new options?
Regardless of the answer, I thank you for your work. I consider this mod essential to the game, and something that should've been a part of the base functionality.

Hello Anão Grande, I just wanted to say that your three mods for AOW4 are the same exact mods I wish I could have for this game. Thank you very much.

Is this mod still being updated? I loved it but it seems to have too many bugged units now, with invisible body parts and floating pieces

can attest to some invisible units, no crash until now though. I did note take a note of all them but can confirm mystic afflictor is broken

still playing with the mods for now

If you can point it out I would gladly fix them. I've played several matches now, and the only problem I've faced is the Staff from Priest not being properly placed, and the shield of Phantasm Warrior

To give an addendum - several units still work completely fine. I suspect that what's gone bad is that the game probably has some internal "reference table"; either using strings, or numerical ids, to refer to all these different costume parts. When giant kings came out, some of these ids got changed (there are a lot of potential reasons for this, but the only thing that really matters is that it got busted). My guess is that rather than crashing or asserting, the game handles a broken reference like this by just not showing a model.

Yeah, this is an amazing mod; it may have been busted upon the release of Giant Kings, though - I'm noticing several units having invisible model components.

Everything was working until now, but for certain characters storm bringer units appear to be invisible.

so i shoulsnt use this with the other similar named mod?

avocado.diaboli@ This mod removes the standard outfit and changes it to a new one for each culture. The mod "Von Schnitzel's Culture Tome Units and Alternate Culture Appearance" removes cultures and replaces them with new ones, like dark1 dark2 dark3, feudal1 feudal2, etc., and makes a new entire modular system for them. Therefore, it has a problem with compatibility, or do it for it from the beginning.

I have a possibly dumb question, but is there any difference between what this mod does and Von Schnitzel's Culture Tome Units and Alternate Culture Appearance?
It seems both mods are doing the same thing (with different visuals of course).
Or am I missing something here?

Not sure if you have worked on Oathsworn yet but if you have Pyromancers appear to have two outfits on overlapping each other

Hi! You have plan to add new models and cultures(like shadows and primal) in pictures to this workshop page?

Hi Anão Grande

Firdt thank you for this wonderfuk mod.
Second, the tyrant knight model is bugged , model is completely broken.

Hope it can be fixed .
Anyways thanks a lot for your work and your help.

Best regards.

Fix to Evoker and Phantasm Warrior units

Can confirm barbarian scouts are bugged

Incredible this isn't just a mod this should be in the original game. I was looking for separation and uniqueness in units. You just solved that problem. All these AOW4 Modders are like angels.

Do I need all the DLC's I only got two and I don't plan on oath-sworn so sorry.

Also if its not too much too ask will you put photos for EA and PF as well . Otherwise no problem xD

Thank you

Thank you!

Hello! I'm playing high culture right now and the Phantasm Warrior thumbnail is a blank spot.

I think the latest update made it so barbarian scouts are only eyes (simian form).

Hey guys!
New update, added the missing tome for all the older cultures (oathsworn is next)

If I use this mod and Culture Unit Makeover TA mod at the same time, is there a recommended Load order or does it matter?

For me the Evoker is just floating eyeballs

Hello! Since the glade runner was shirtless in the base game, I added this mod. Now he has no legs. (High culture)

New update guys, Primal culture is done. Next is old Tome Units (Afflictor, Constrictor, etc)

Yeah no rush, and not a problem. If you ever need any future dlc's, feel free to contact me. I am rather fond of flavor mods like this one and am more than happy to help give back to the modders for their hard work and talents.

Maybe...

"9/11/25" You a time traveller?

Take your time, perfection needs time

Hey guys just let you know. I'll upload a Hotfix for the every things missing but just wanted to warn you guys that the DLC broke a BIG part of the project related to how to apply the models to the Cultures. i managed to fix almost all but still some clipping issues are happenin (manly related to mountable tome Units). But the main issue is that some visuals from basic culture units like (warlocks, halberdies, etc) are overllaping with the visuals from this mod. This is not that easy to fix, but my priority is to fix the problems happening, and then I'll focus on finishing the Primal Units, doing the missing units from new tomes (Conscriptor and Pyre Templar) to them finally go and do the Oathsworn units. I cannot promise a time frame since this is surely a lot of work, but I'll try do as much as I can before December hits (at least for the older stuff combined with the new tome units)
