The Norscan (Build-a-Chaos-Lord)

Added him to the Changeling faction
Frost Fang can be taken

Adds a new armoury based (daemon prince style) legendary lord to the game, recruitable when playing as a Warriors of Chaos, Norscan or mono-god factions. Like the daemon prince he gets his skills from visible weapons and armours rather than skills, with new wargear being unlocked each time he ranks up. Additionally, upon Reaching rank 30 the final tier of gear unlocks is reached and the Norscan can steal the weapons and characteristics of other legendary lords by defeating them in battle.

the items are from the chaos units and other legendary lords given a unique set of effects, with over 300 items and well over 1000 effects there is basically no limit to combinations.

Note that all items have basic hidden effects that just make sense, i.e. heavier armour has more mass, bigger and blunter weapons have more knock-back. White and green gear reduces his personal upkeep cost and god aligned armour increases the authority of that god etc. Ideally this will all work as you expect without cluttering up the display.

As a general rule i'm aiming to make the Norscan start much weaker than other lords, but rise to equal legendary lords late game, giving the player a sense of raising up the ranks of chaos from a mere norscan marauder to legendary chaos lord. The slow start being the trade off for the versatility of the hero.

In terms of individual items, I have tried to use the stats to balance out the unusually strong abilities but honestly there are just too many items doing such wildly different things to be able to get a clear view to compare them, let me know if you can see any outlier items that you think are too strong/weak or are just worse versions of an equal tier item.

incompatible with:
none known right now, let me know so I can fix it
When playing as Norsca and confederating a LL from the mixu mod the Norscan can disappear.

Should play nice with most stuff
Save game compatibility: can be added mid game but probably won't like being removed

MCT compatible, use this if you want to test all the items or disable the level requirement for weapon stealing


Full list of known issues here. Please report any bugs you find that thread.

When switching weapons the character does not change pose to match with in the character screen: Don't worry, this only affects that one screen and the Norscan should still animate correctly in campaign/battle. The bug started in the immortal empires patch, seems to be effecting the daemon prince too, hopefully when CA fixes it for him it will fix it here too

Moved the List here, suggest what weapons you would like me to prioritise adding next here too

Let me know what you think, i'm open to ideas.
Probably coming:
Recuitable by minor factions
Slightly more inventive naming
More legendary lord weapons

Thanks to the modding discord for all the help and all the tools they make to make this possible: https://discord.gg/moddingden
Special thanks to Drunk Flamingo for the UI hiding code
Also give thanks to CA for the new armoury system, it lets us modders do things like this that just weren't possible before. I hope to see if I can stretch it even further.

Finally as always fellow modders feel free to take this mod apart and use anything you like. As far As I know this is just about the first of it's kind so if you can make sense of my mess feel free to use it as a base for your own armoury mods
