Trajann's Hunters of the Skull Throne Faction (Update On Hold)

Hey there, it's been a while. I apologise for my absence from the modding scene for so long. Life got in the way, mental health took a toll, I lost the passion. But I'm happy to say that I'm back, and I bring something that people have been wanting for a very long time; the Lizardmen of Khorne faction! Before this I simply made Khornate Lizardmen units and added them to existing factions. But the Hunters of the Skull Throne are a unique unique faction with their own mechanics, abilities, and features that are exclusive to this mod! So, let's get into things.

This mod is NOT compatible with my Khorne Compilation, nor will it be included in any sort of compilation. You will also find some differences between the units in this mod, and those in the compilation. Certain units, characters, skills and abilities have been changed to better fit with the theme of this mod.

-The Hunters of the Skull Throne are made up entirely of Khornate Lizardmen. You will find no vanilla Khorne units or characters in their roster.
-They have access to 4 different rites, each costing a hefty amount of skulls in exchange for various buffs.
-They can use skulls to upgrade their units. There are 4 different tiers; elite, veteran, alpha and apex. Only one upgrade may be applied to a unit.
-Technology tree has been revamped, and contains many new options that apply buffs to their unique units.
-3 legendary lords, and 2 legendary heroes. Lords are recruited via the recruitment panel, heroes are unlocked via missions.
-3 generic lords and 3 generic heroes to choose from.
-Modified Skull Throne ability; adds research bonus and changes the bloodletter summon to instead summon cold ones. Also reduced to a 5-turn cooldown.

Truly, there's too much stuff to list here, but those are the main points. This have been an absolute labour of love for me, and a massive pain in my side. So much goes into making a faction work, and I only just managed to get by. There's bugs, and things not working 100% how I'd like them to. Even still, I am incredibly proud of the work I've done, and I truly believe this is one of the best pieces of content I've ever made.

I hope that you enjoy playing this faction. PLEASE let me know of any issues you encounter. This is still very new territory for me, but I promise I'll try to fix things as best I can. I do have plans to add more to this faction, but I think I'll wait until the DLC arrives before I make anything new. Thank you all for sticking with me for so long. This mod's release marks 2 years of modding for me, and I couldn't be more grateful. It feels good to be back.


-Because I couldn't make an entirely new tech tree for them, I had to modify the existing Khorne tree. Technically, this version becomes Skarbrand's tech tree, so I couldn't remove any of the existing effects, but I tried to make any vanilla tech also work with the unique faction. It's a little messy, but it's the best I could do.
-In the faction select screen, it still shows the vanilla lord's name as the faction leader. This is only a visual bug, the Ruined Hunter will spawn as your starting lord no problem.
-The custom building required to recruit certain units has no name. I'm not sure why, but it functions just fine.
-The unit upgrades are not in the proper order of weakest to strongest. I'm not sure if there's a way to change the layout of them.
-Characters mounted atop Blood Raptors don't appear on the campaign map. This is an issue I have absolutely no idea how to fix.
-I couldn't remove the Khorne regiments of renown from the pool, so I just simply set their required level to 99. It's only for this faction, so Skarbrand will remain unaffected.
-Faction name remains unchanged, not sure why.
