I know a bug fix is basically impossible at the moment, but I wanted to point out that there's been a bug for some time associated with this mod, that causes Zombies of all forms to appear as just heads. I have no idea why this mod would effect it, but I only encounter this bug when using this mod. I think this bug has been in since the last update

No worries, just wanted to see if it was possible. Thanks for making such an awesome mod, installing it got be back into AOW4 again!

Hi @Zarathustra. The computer I was using to mod AoW IV broke, and the laptop I use atm is not powerful enough. I am unsure of when I will be able to afford a new one.

As I cannot even really open the modding tools, it is hard for me to provide guidance I'm sorry. Essentially, these descriptions were added with a custom unit property. You would need to open each unit's entry in the modding tools, remove any changes and re-add it.

This mod is hard to keep updated as when changes are made to units by patches, the mod's changes need to be cleared and the unit property re-applied.

I am sorry I cannot be of more aid. I cannot even afford a device powerful enough to mod atm, so I wish I could be of more help.

I'm also willing to learn how to do it myself but I've never modded anything lol. I'd even be willing to pay someone to update and include new descriptions for the new units, that's how much I love this mod.

Anyone thinking of updating this mod? Game is unplayable without unit lore.

since recent update, for some reason, this mod unlocks Infernal Juggernaut at Tier 4 for every faction.

BTW, this mod works in mid game and without any of the DLC so far. I did receive a warning about potentially crashing my game, but so it's running ok.

Thank you for saving my game! It just wasn't Age of Wonders without these. You are my hero.

Thanks for the mod! Can I add it to the current game (mid-game). Will it disable Steam achievements?

This really is a beautiful mod.

Mods that ADD units should be okay (they just won't have lore text). Mods that EDIT units in the base game will also be okay, but their changes will overwrite this mod and the lore text will be lost.

When you say this mod is incompatible with other mods that add units, does that just mean the added units won't have lore attached to them? or does that mean it will cause crashes?

Switching to the paradox version worked for me, thanks!

This mod is now compatible with the Mystic Update! Eldritch Realm units still need descriptions, but it also features built-in support for a few of my other mods (so units added/edited by those mods will have flavour text if this mod is enable and placed above them in your load order).

@Zarathustra Thank you! I'm sorry but I can't replicate the issue. Maybe try the Paradox Mods download or wait for the mod to be updated to the Mystic patch?

Goretusk Piglet, Gremlin, Herald of War, Ice Spider Matriarch, Ice Spider, Infernal Juggernaut, Inferno Puppy, Iron Golem, Iron Golem Assistant, Karagh, Lesser Storm Spirit, Lesser Tide Spirit, Magelock Cannon, Mistling, Nimu, Pestilence Crocodile, Razorback, Roving Furnace, Scrap Hermit, Severing Golem, Skald, Slither Hatchling, Slither, Spirit Hawk, Spring Fairy, Storm Giant, Storm Spirit, Swamp Troll, Thunderbird, Tide Spirit, White Wolf, Winter Fairy, Wyvern Fledgling, Young Caustic Worm, Afflictor, Earthshattering Engine, Gremlin, Houndmaster, Pyromancer, Transmuter, Zephyr Archer

@Arca_Bibliophile: OK I've got a pretty comprehensive list here, it's way longer than I thought. I checked every unit in the encyclopedia and confirmed that a number of them show up the same in-game too. I also disabled all other mods in case that was it. I have every DLC btw. Here's the list of units with the same Phantasm Warrior description (apologies for any repeats):

Ancestral Warden, Animist, Dragoon, Harrier, Magelock Cannon, Magelock, Mercenary, Observer, Overseer, Primal Charger, Primal Darter, Spirit Tracker, Autumn Fairy, Balor, Blessed Soul, Brewer Ogre, Bronze Golem, Carrion Bird, Caustic Worm, Chaos Eater, Copper Golem, Crocodile, Deep-Sea Nimu, Earth Titan, Entwined Protector, Entwined Scourge, Entwined Thrall, Gargoyle, Ghost Ship, Golden Golem, Goretusk Matriarch...

That sounds really weird @Zarathustra- providing examples of units with this incorrect description would help a lot

@Arca_Bibliophile Sure, just went back and checked some of the random units that had the same incorrect description. It's the description for the Phantasm Warrior, the one that begins, "Gorgax charged the sorcerer, raising his mighty ax." I've found this same Phantasm Warrior lore on a number of different, unrelated units. If it would help more I could do another quick play-through and identify as many instances of units with the Phantasm Warrior lore that I find (if I had to estimate, I've probably seen at least a dozen or so different units with it).

So glad to hear you're updating for ER, this mod has totally renewed my interest in this game!

@Zarathustra Can you provide more details? Are you referring to the Ethereal tag? And yep! This will be updated for Eldritch Realms

Please keep this going for the next expansion. Also I've noticed that some units have the same description of being ethereal despite not being so. Otherwise it's perfect.

Its been dope as heck to contribute to this project and I'm really happy Arca let me help out and bring some ideas to life I had written before but never got far enough.

@jpoinard Try now maybe? I think I fixed the issue

Getting a Metadata missing on the download. Can you fix this?

Wowzers, nice! Will you update once the latest expansion drops?

Hi everyone! I've updated this, and it now features flavour text for every unit in the game, all 200+ of them! I hope you enjoy the full release

This makes me want to try the game again, by far the most disappointing feature left out.

Bless you for this, unit lore entries are so sorely missed

This is really really nice.

Something which was in AoW from the very 1st game. In AoW 3 Chivalrous Intentions mod with 400+ new units has description for every one of them.

Fantastic, thanks Arca! I’m not worried about not seeing the lore text for any modded units as long as the game doesn’t break. This lore text concept was something I discussed on Discord and I’m elated that you implemented the idea. It’s a component sorely missing from vanilla.

@Kingmaker Nope, so long as you put it first in your load order :))) Mods that are lower in your load list will take priority tho so you may not see the lore but it shouldn't break anything

I have like 40 other mods installed. Will this mod straight up break them?

Great mod; more lore - better atmosphere.

YES! Hopefully they put this back into the game. I understand they didn't wanna infringe on the player's ability to shape their people, but certain things, like the cultural units, SHOULD have had little lore blurbs in them from Day 1.

oh myyyyyyy thank you so m uch for thisssssss!

I still don't understand why the devs didn't bother with this as a vanilla feature. It makes the game feel a little more lively and interesting, and I really missed it on release.

I hope other modders patch this in. This is a very cool addition.

That's why people have permission to include it directly!

This is so very cool, but needs so many patches to work alongside other mods,

Woo!
