Lost & Found Dwarfs: Dawi Stand Tall!

Description
Shieldbearers, ho! This mod is an overhaul to Lords and Thanes as well as containing changes to other core aspects of the dwarf roster. This includes shieldbearer and oath stone mounts along with more weapon variants for Lords and Thanes.

In addition, Belegar has a unique Oath Stone mount as well as the ability to summon some ancestral spirit allies! This pairs with a new Longbear RoR.

There are also more beard color variants across the board! Everything a strong dawi needs to stand tall and proud!

NOTE: This is a standalone mod. All content is included in Lost & Found Dwarfs: Complete Collection.



Summary

Lord and Thane Overhaul
  • New Weapon Variants - Great Axe, Crossbow, and Pistol
  • Mounts - Shieldbearers (Lords) and Oath Stones (Lords and Thanes)
  • Rename - Lords to Dwarf Lords

Belegar Changes
  • Unique Mount - Runic Oath Stone
  • Two New Abilities - Summon ghostly Dwarf Warriors and Ironbreakers
  • Reworked skill focus towards Miners, Ironbreakers, and Irondrakes rather than Rangers and Bolt Throwers
  • Mighty Oath Stone changed to only be available while mounted
  • Vanilla Bug Fix: Belegar's Ghost Engineer can now properly attain the Zhufbar 42-Pounders skill without specifically needing points in Triangulation.

General Changes
  • Visual Overhaul - New beard variations for most of the dwarf roster (Engineers and Runelords/smiths to come later)
  • Reskin - Thorgrim's throne bearers now resemble hammerers.
  • Reskin - Removed red dots from ghost dwarf heroes.
  • Reskin - Fixed one Longbeard's torso model's gem texture issue
  • New RoR - Ancestor Spirits (Longbeards) (this unit is available earlier to Belegar)
  • Rename - Norgriling's Ironbreakers to Axes of Norr
  • Traits - Reworked and additional unique dwarf Ancestral Blood traits
  • Building - Moved Hall of Oaths to be a tier 4 barracks building and renamed it to Warriors' Guild Hall
  • Recruitment - Dwarf Warriors recruitable via Tier 1 settlement chain, Bolt Throwers via Tier 2 settlement chain, Quarrellers via Tier 1 barracks chain, Hammerers & Ironbreakers via Tier 4 barracks chain
  • Building - Tier 1 Ranger Outpost now available to all dwarf factions
  • Balance - Slight buff to offense of Dwarf Warriors (Great Weapons) and Longbeards (Great Weapons)
  • Balance - Added Charge Defense vs Large to Dwarf Warriors (Great Weapons), Quarrellers, and Thunderers
  • Balance - Small range buff to Bolt Throwers
  • Balance - All Rangers variants and RoRs gain 360° Firing Arc, Fire Whilst Moving, looser spacing, shorter range, and adjusted costs
  • Bugman's Rangers converted to an RoR unit.

Future Plans
  • Reworks to Thorgrim's and Grombrindal's personal and campaign mechanics
  • More Campaign Changes!
  • Tweak unit stats/cost based on user feedback. The goal is to be balanced around vanilla TW:WHIII.

helloooo,

@dial
That is an incompatibility with some other mods that touch Dwarf Lords. With this most recent patch, I'm going to see if there is a way to fix that particular issue up!

@Stale Memes
The description is mostly accurate, though going through I'm going to give it a once over just to make sure when I update for the newest patch! It currently only moves the Bolt Thrower recruitment as CA had buffed it themselves. It does not touch newly added Dwarf traits nor the Deeps system, though I will look at both to see if I want to tweak them.

--

Overall, as a long term goal (though I have a few half-finished projects that will happen first) I want to revisit this mod and potentially add to it / split it into distinct parts given its grab bag nature. But that won't happen soon and once I get closer I will be looking for feedback on a few ideas (for example, pulling out the ranger changes and making a full Ranger Expansion mod is one idea)

Sweet, an update!
Quick question: How much of the original mod description is still accurate now that we've had Thrones of Decay? Did you retain the building changes? What about Bolt Throwers and other unit balance? Did you also make changes to the newly added character traits for Dwarfs? Do any of your changes affect the new Deeps system? Would love to use this mod again.

I will probably be anothe guy who asks it, but is there any way to get just Belegar stuff? I mean his sheildbearers and summons, nothing more

Hi can u make a ranger standalone tiny mod?

Thanks for what you do, Greenphoenix23. Appreciate the work. The mod's been working for me on TOW and a bunch of other mods, and seems to be ok not being first in the list (currently 10th for me). Very good compatibility!

Any plans to have the shieldbearer mount released as a separate mod? Also, any plans for great weapons for dwarf lords?
