Update please.

Please make a Lord version, to recruit alongside knights and damsels.

Who better to lead an army than a legendary bard, with songs hewn from gruesome details of personal battle?

Honestly, I mostly want this to free up the Hero slot, and be able to use Minstrels as lords, Faceless and Fay Knights as Heroes.

They do need a horse.

Please give them horse.

Fixed the trait names.

I will check in game, I fixed the tables (at least I think) so it should work, but didn't have time to test it. I also noticed the missing ability text, so I'll go through the descriptions again. I'll get to it next week probably, since this week I have long and early shifts at work.

And also the trait name doesn't appear, see this screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j5xyk2efbrbqwxi/minstrel.png?dl=0

Hey DaKilla, last time I tried the range trait didn't impact range units in the heroe's army. But it was before the last update: did you touched that part?
dakilla  [author] 31 May, 2021 @ 1:27am 
I hava an idea for anti large melee/caster hero :) but I'm not sure if I get around to do more mods tbh.

I think the lore is fine with minstrel and even the unit pack I made, but that's just my opinion. Lot of people will hate the fact (especially if you check official tww forums) that you want CA to add anything to Bretonnia since they are "complete" in their eyes, just because they were abandoned in the TT. Even if other races get obscure things that adds only flavor and plug their holes in the roster.

I'd like some small FLC Lord pack with few units to keep up with the power creep for WH3, otherwise Brets will be more and more dependant on mods imho.

imo faced with the question of "is this loreful" you dont really have to say not really
because minstrels are pressed into service there's a whole event about that
but also in general you could say you're making your own lore with respect to the lore but that's just my opinion
I think some good hero and lord ideas for bretonnia could be a monster slayer who specializes in fighting monsters (obviously) and has maybe a late game monstrous mount to make up for not having one maybe a question beast or hippogriff or something
maybe a chapter master or something who buffs knigths
idk just some ideas I dont aspect anyone to do anything with these ideas it's just fun to talk about my imagination lol

Try to delete the mod file (dk_minstrel_hero.pack) in tww2/data folder and unsubscribe, subscribe on steam.

The new version won't download... it's probably on my side though... :(
dakilla  [author] 29 May, 2021 @ 8:27am 
@Albedo; everything should be fixed now.
dakilla  [author] 28 May, 2021 @ 3:23pm 
Thanks Albedo, I'll hopefully get to it over the weekend.

About the horse, I thought I'd have it as a quirk to have the peasant hero without a mount, but yea, might be too restrictive. I'll look into it.
Baligdur 28 May, 2021 @ 10:34am 
Could you give him horse ?
Albedo 28 May, 2021 @ 2:45am 
and the effect doesn't seem to apply to range units of the same army
Albedo 28 May, 2021 @ 2:42am 
Alos: for "minstrel" the text is lacking when you inspect the hero in game :)
Albedo 28 May, 2021 @ 1:45am 
Beware that you did not remove the influence cost for the trait "medecine" (I don't know if it has an effect or no though)
Albedo 28 May, 2021 @ 1:39am 
Thanks!
dakilla  [author] 27 May, 2021 @ 10:50am 
Good idea. I went through the list and added few (at least for now):

Conciliatory
Talon of Kurnous
Frugal
Devious
Medic


They were renamed etc. to fit the hero and Bretonnia, but the effects are the same as vanilla. They have the same chance to appear as generic traits for now. I'm sure there are more so if you come across some, let me know and I'll consider adding it.
Albedo 27 May, 2021 @ 8:00am 
Suggestion: it would be nice to give them some traits not normally available for Bretonnia (something improving range weapons for instance)
dakilla  [author] 27 May, 2021 @ 12:07am 
Thank you, I'm happy you like it. As for the lord, I'll check how different is it from a hero mod and how much scripting one actually needs to see if I could do it. However make it with enough units so they have purpose and variety, keeping the Bret cav theme.. and it's not just reskin.. might be difficult.

I also have an idea to make a hybrid caster/melee with picked spells from various lores (mainly light) based on sons of bretonnia, so that's another option if people would be interested.

Faceless Lords and brigand units sounds an awesome idea! Hope to see that sooner than later!!
Houshmandzadeh 26 May, 2021 @ 2:48pm 
Love it. Also love the image from Baldur's Gate.
Albedo 26 May, 2021 @ 7:35am 
Great idea!
Supermag24 25 May, 2021 @ 12:12pm
