I am almost positive there is nothing I can actually offer for assistance, but I'll still offer anyways!

Tome is almost ready, I'm just struggling with the Dune elemental unit components

I'd prefer Iron+Wood to stay Materium+Nature. Also changing the affinities will force us, users, to redo some of our rulers builds.

Oh, changing up Ironwood? Weird, I thought it was good as M/N, and it's pretty clear it made with pairing with Alchemy in mind (I may have straight up made War Crimes, the faction, using these and Scorching from Tome of Giants...)

WIll change Ironwood tome as well to Materium / Astral and update the yield to be more in line with the game's.

Update wasn't intended. But I'm almost finished we a Sand focused Tier 1 tome, which will be followed by a Tier 3 Sand tome. Sneak peek :

Tome of Dunes (T1 Materium / Shadow)

Sand-Striders : For 2 turns, friendly units in this army gain : Slippery, Swift, Fleeting

Call Blinding Sands : For 3 turns, enemy units have a 60 % to be inflicted by Blind.

Mirage Staves (Support Unit enchantment) : Makes base Magic attacks of enchanted units: Gain base 60% chance of inflicting Blind for 1 Turn.

Summon Lesser Dune Elemental : Evolves into a Dune Elemental, Blind chance on hit, wind barrier. Dune Elemental T3 evolution with a Vortex Phase that pulls and blind surrounding ennemies after teleportation.

Children of the Dunes (Minor Race transfo) : : +1 Status Resistance. Sand Camouflage, Sand Walk

Also working on a Tome of the Eternal Sands (T3 Materium / Shadow or Astral) and aTome of the Scorching Desert (T2 Materium / Chaos)

Any changes, or just a version compatibility update?

An update?

A bit of a counterpoint, the trait and rebuke are not mutually exclusive, and so stack. I'd actually say your tome fits better than ever with this DLC, as some focus on an Order build all about just punishing enemies for even being there by shield units plays well. Blessed Soul being a summon twice IS funny, but actually not a problem. I'd say now it feels oddly like a this-or-that tome with Beacon, combining well with Virtue; either focus hard on external support and healing spells, are focus on further buffing shield unit sustain and DoT sustain.

Is cool.

@Sindir : They added Inner Radiance as a trait, similar to ancestral rebuke, blessed soul can now be summoned with a base game Tier 2 Order Tome

@Ayasta
Uhh as a tome of ancestor user and fellow modder I´m really curious.
What´s your plan for it, and why you feel it´s useless now?
(didn´t played the game for a while, so yeah no clue what happend xD)

I will revisit this later, with the Griffon update and the change to some tomes, Tome of Ancestors feels a little bit useless nox

Initial testing indicates this works fine with Archon.

I genuinely enjoy this pack so much! Just wanted to say I look forward to the other tomes.

Great thanks for fixing this ;)
Haha funny I know your feelings with the crystalline depths tome.
I myself was pretty frightened that their new crystal based tome might be to similar to my tome of crystal attunement. But gladly they chose a pretty different way and just their crystal reflection is kinda the same like one enchantment of mine...
I´m sorry you didn´t had this luck, but now I´m even more interested in how your try in this field will end ;)

Fixed SPI of the ironwood tome not showing up, although for some reason the production buff doesn't appear (it works). Also denied both SPIs the possibility to be built in lava province.

I was working on Tome of Crystalline Depths but the DLC has taken over part of what I had planned, I'm thinking on what to change or maybe how to incorporate some of the newer assets. Will be doing sand themed tomes after that (1 or 2 hopefully)

I'll take a look !

Love your mods, a good standard for tome mods. Really hope you do the volcano and dunes tomes. Ashlands and desert need some love!

Long term user here ^^ I love your mod, but it looks like the SPI of the ironwood tome is currently not working, it´s not appearing in the cities

Very nice concepts; keep working on them pls :)

Eternal sands sounds like Astral/Materium, Scorching Desert sounds like Materium/Chaos.

@Nexious @skaz88 fixed

The verdant stone staves enchantment is not showing up in my spellbook after researching it.

It seems like this mod adds a nameless t3 support unit to everyone regardless if you have selected one of the tomes or not. It also has no model.
Can you please investigate it?

My friends and I can't play multiplayer together with this mod. :(

Renamed Tome of the Iron Forest. New tome of Ancestors online, there a small typo I butting my head on with Verdant Stone Staves, affected units (Support Units) aren't showing up.

Follow up tome will be probably be very simple in order to fill up what I see as "gaps" in the tome roster, rather than introduce complex things.

I'm trying a new modding format but haven't updated the first tome so there might be bugs i missed, let me know if that's the case.

Awesome to see this updated!

Please update

Update pls?

I expect this will crash with the changes to the hero system in Tiger, and Ironwood Weaponry (as Tomes cannot give hero skills any more).

This will probably be broken by the Tiger update.

Hey everyone, I will hopefully get back into modding the game around November. Let me know if stuff has been broken by the update/DLC.

Hope your life has gotten or if not gets better @Ayasta, I'm sure I speak for many when we say we're happy to wait until you're at a place where modding is an option again for you <3

Does this mod work with the newest update? I love the concept!

Wow this is a GREAT IDEA! Unlockable Tomes!

I hope we see an Empire Map where we can conquer map areas with unlockables like Op Tomes of Wonder, Legendary Items of Wonder, Relics, like we had in AOW Planetfall.

@Valdis33 Hey, life very much got in the way of modding since late April. I'm hoping to finish the next tome before August now that the update is out. For the rest it will depend on real life getting better.

@Ayasta hi ! do you still working on futur tome ? I rly like your ideas

Love this!

this is an amazing idea, I've always wished there was something a bit more to tie the greater wonders into the world besides "ah yes this is my new capital city" type deal.
also if I may add an idea for the Tome of Dunes; make it a chaos astral tome. we seriously are in need of a chaos sorcerer type deal with the fact shadow wizards work well with chaos debuff spam and astral's mana/combat casting expansion.

I like the concept. Keep up the good work.

metadata is missing or cannot be parsed.

@J Fixed as well ! Double checked everything to be sure, the tome should be bug free now (maybe some text issue here and there)

Great start! Looking forward to see this develop. The fact that it is compatibility friendly is a huge plus. I really like the creative concept!

looks good, cant wait to see it grow

nice

Sorry to bother you again. The minor race transformation doesnt seem to show up when reseached. Is it the same for everyone else?

Wow, that was quick:) Again really looking forward to the next tomes:)

@J Whoops ! Should be fixed now

Great mod, really looking forward to the next tomes.
Small bug though, the Ironwood Wisp becomes available to recruit for all cultures when the mod is installed.
Don't know if it is a mod-conflict on my end though.

How about a tome of 'convenient terraforming', a tier 1 tome that has all the possible terraforming spells combined in a single, low level tome. Like that you wouldn't have to take multiple seperate tomes just to get all options. Could be materium/nature.
