I mean, if we look at his skills - he has one artillery boost, one for gunnery infantry, one for melee infantry, and one for wizards. His personal trait boosts artillery and wizards. He' still very much an artillery guy.

In future, i might take a look at these skills - maybe chop Experimental Alloys and give wizards some bound spells, but my time is currently more limited as I've gone into teaching.

sure, but in game his entire power is based on building a massive battle wizard stack for campaign, and in others campaigns, he still gives boosts to BW as his main focus and also spamming them into every army he has. I was hoping that the skills would be in that vein, or at least something around that. But I can understand not wanting to mess with it
It does not even need to be things that increase the power, but maybe things that just make it cleaner for Battle wizards since you would not want to do campaign based things, it would still have some artillery things, since he does still have some bonuses for them, but also have some maybe global BW bonuses, and WOM bonuses, nothing major, but just enough to boost them. not sure, but it’s always a bit of a bummer to play him and realize I never get those traits since I never keep any of the units that they are for in my army.
regardless, i love the mods. they have made playing these games fun for the last couple of years so thanks.

@Daemon
If I can think of things to actually do with that, sure. I should note though, in lore he is still an explodey artillery guy

Is there any chance you will update this for the changed version of him. he is no longer the explosive artillery guy, he is the battle wizard guy so it would be nice to get his skills changed for this.

@Laserdream

Eldred's Guard is replaced with something new, just haven't updated it yet.

>get 40% on top - badly phrased, 40% total, they get 10% wardsave on top of everything else with your skills, which makes them very, very tanky before you start stacking active abilities.

>halfway useful as a frontline

After empire rework, by combining Luminarks and Light Wizards passives, you can give 30% wardsave to everyone within 55 meter of p.mentioned units. 55 meters is a lot. Usual frontline is 100ish, so 2 wizards 2 luminarks cover it all.

With this mod, Eldred's guard get 40% on top of everything else they have. Then you add Warrior Priests, and that turns into 60%.

Mind, Volkmar can get something like passive 80% damage resistance to his flagellants with this, so maybe not actually all that impressive. But if you really want your staunch line of elector troops, well.

BTW, Luminarks themselves also get stupid tanky with this, and CA been buffing their shootiness over past year. They aren't shit anymore.

@James
Yeah, I need to change it

While I love Balthasar being my artillery guy, Eldred's Guard aren't really a part of his army anymore right?

Unsubed and resubed, didn't work. I downloaded "Singe's Skills for the Empire" and it works fine.

I think its just this mod in particular. Unless I've got a weird compatibility issue.

@Waimanian
Yours might not have updated correctly. Unsub and resub.

Does anyone else only have the "Alchemised Loadouts" skill visible?

Seems reasonable, because the empire has quite useful artillery options.

@Nova15
The thing is, Balthazar is in lore the artillery guy - Elspeth doesn't actually have much to do with it other than living in Nuln. I'll keep it in as a nod to that, at the least.

Alchemised Loadouts skill could be replaced with one that improves infantry or cavalry, because Elspeth already boosts artillery.

All your lord skill mods work fine with SFO if anyone asks. There isn't any skills that have the same numbering as skills already in the game :)
