Ayasta's Library Of Wonders

Description
The plan for this mod is to add a large library of dual affinity tomes based around the theme of natural wonders in the Age of Wonders - although distinct from in game wonders for now - and a sprinkle of tomes around themes I find interesting.

Feedback is welcome !

Features :

Tome of Ironwood - T1 Nature/Materium. A tome focusing on buffing your early game economy and striking power. Features the Ironwood Wisp, a tier 1 battle mage unit that can evolve into a random fairy upon reaching max rank.

Tome of Ancestors - T2 Order / Nature. Call upon the blessed souls of your ancestors in battle, strenghtening your frontline with a damaging spiritual ward and enhancing your support units abilities.

Future Tomes (not in order) :

Tome of the Evergreen Peak (T3 Materium / Nature)
Tome of the Boundless River (T3 Materium / Nature)
Tome of the Slumbering Volcano (T3 Chaos / Nature)
Tome of the Raging Tempest (T3 Astral / Nature)
Tome of Crystalline Depths (T3 Materium / Shadow)
Tome of Dunes / Scorching Desert / Eternal Sands (not sure yet)

Compatibility
No changes to any of the base game .rpk files.

Shout-out the helpful folks at the AoW Official Modding Discord.

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
