There was apparently an unused skill from the original Norsca race pack from WH1 called "Riders of Destruction" that boosts melee attack and melee weapon strength of Marauder Chariot units by 5/10/15, might implement it in version 3.

Currently thinking about adjusting the mount unlock levels to 9 for Ice Wolf Chariot and 18 for Gorebeast Chariot mounts to be in line with other lord's mount options.

I have modified the battle_entities_tables entries for Chaos (Marauder) Chariots, Marauder Ice Wolf Chariots, and Gorebeast Chariots to increase the frequency in which the animal mounts will attack models in melee. This mostly affects fighting against large units, but also increase their effectiveness against infantries a bit.

would love if you added faction effects like worldwide speed or movement range and lesser upkeep cost for riders and chariots or something like that since i really enjoyed the lord

Makes sense! Getting the custom faction description, lord pictures, and starting units to appear on the faction selection screen requires frontend edits for the faction as a whole, those were not changed in this mod, which only spawns the legendary version of Surtha Ek on campaign start to replace the original generic version.

That may be something to do in the future however.

well it doesnt show up other than the minor ai factions flags so when choosing a lord you dont see if the mod is working until you start th egame as it

@medusa0 But Surtha Ek doesn't seem to be available through Mixu's Unlocker as a standalone faction

Thanks for the feedback! The initial thought process behind this mod is to confederate Surtha Ek as the other two playable Norsca factions, so there were no significant changes made to the Vargs faction itself besides the restored voice lines.

How does the Vargs play on its own as a standalone faction through Mixu's unlocker? The faction wide effects Surtha Ek provide should be relatively powerful (the income buffs should apply to all "slavery" buildings), but I have not played too far with them as I am awful at using Norsca in general. I have also read somewhere that speed matters more than charge bonus and weapon damage for chariots on the charge, so these bonuses may also be subjected to changes.

Do the Marauder Chieftains now catch up to the other factions' melee lords in your opinions?

forgot to add the commandments for norsca works

can confirm this works with mixus and some other norsca mods only bad thing about this one seems theres no faction effect and the norsca rites does not work but other than that its great

The time has come for the True End Times! I suppose I gotta test if this mod works with Mixu's Unlocker though.
