Encounters at Derp - Double Treasure, Amanar, Etc

Welcome back, commanders! If you used this mod in Total War: Warhammer 2, then you know what the deal is. For everyone else, read on:


This mod doubles the sea treasure spawn rate and makes rogue pirates attack anyone (not just the player) dumb enough to try and set sail.

If you're not a vampirate, this is great because you get more treasure.

If you are a filthy, undead pirate, you're gonna have a really rough time because the rogue pirates you need to defeat to grab the pieces of eight (RoR) are gonna keep getting ganked before you can get to them. I don't see this as a problem.

In addition, this mod fixes some (but not all :-( ) of the potential crashes related to treasures at sea. I strongly recommend not clicking directly on the encounter marker. Instead, please click on some point beyond the encounter marker, so that your sea stack "encounters" the marker along the way. See the screenshots above for an example. I'm being told patch 4.1 fixed crashes related to sea encounters, and CA just left that out of the patch notes for some reason, but I still get occasional crashes when not using this workaround.



The Tidemaker, the ancient Myrwyrm; the Elves named it Amanar.

And now, he's back. Unlike Eye of the Vortex or Mortal Empires, with this mod Amanar will roam the seas regardless of whether anyone is playing Vampire Coast.

• The first vampirate to make it to the wreck of the Vengeance will get Jacob Wulfhart's star-metal harpoon. Where is the wreck? It's up to you to find it before anyone else does.
  
• Other vampirates can get their hands on the harpoon if they defeat the faction leader holding the harpoon. Who currently has the harpoon? That's for you to find out.
  
• If the harpoon owner obtains all 3 shanty verses and then fights the final battle (quest battle in single player or in multiplayer where with only one vampirate, a non-quest mission in multiplayer with more than one pirate) then the harpoon owner gets to control where Amanar attacks next. (Either a stack at sea or a port)

Important compatibility note for players using VCO: Amanar is a prize and not a participation trophy! Only the first player to finish the final battle can win the merwyrm. Everyone else will forever remain not infamous. At the moment (2025-07-28), there is a script break if you win the game but end your turn with the Amanar anc holder in The Great Ocean, The Sea of Dread, or another liminal ocean spot. This comes from VCO itself and is harmless.



The WH2 version of this mod was slowly turning into an overhaul for Pirates of the Vampire Coast. This mod only makes small changes to Aranessa Anja Saltspite:

• Aranessa's special skills (Gifted Sailor, Self-Taught Gunner, Your Worst Nightmare) grant additional bonuses to Sartosan units and Maneaters.
  
• Sartosa's landmark buildings (Peg Street Pawnshop, Smithy's Pawnshop, Dragon Tooth Lighthouse) grant additional bonuses to Sartosan units and Maneaters.

This mod works best with new campaigns. It is only partially save game compatible, but I do not recommend using it without a new campaign.

The following features will not be available in any mod that modifies the corresponding file:

• wh2_campaign_encounters_at_sea.lua - double treasure.
  
• wh2_dlc11_roving_pirates.lua - rogue pirates respawn indefinitely (contrary to change in Empire Undivided Update), pieces of eight missions restart correctly in both single player and multiplayer.
