This campaign submod lets you play as Chaos with the Drukhari allied to your cause in the campaign. It does this by expanding your Chaos ship rosters with the Drukhari ships. (For the 2.1 version of the main mod)
Skalgrim Mod Campaign Submod: Drukhari Alliance
What is this submod?
-----------------------
This campaign submod lets you play as Chaos with the Drukhari allied to your cause in the campaign. It does this by expanding your Chaos ship rosters with the Drukhari ships.
What version of Skalgrim mod does this work with?
-------------------------------------------------
Only the 2.1 version. (Current latest version.)
There has to be bugs right?
----------------------------
Oh yes. There are several known, and probably many unknown bugs due to how I have in essence made the game do something its not supposed to. NONE of them can be fixed!
Con: Known bugs:
You only have access to Chaos admirals, this means that the skills and abilities are tied to the Chaos faction. Many of these do not work with Drukhari ships and cannot be used. Some can still be used. You'll have to experiment to see which ones work.
The movement UI buttons might not work, or only work for one faction, when playing with either mixed fleets or with more than one fleet but with Drukhari/Chaos ships in the same battle. (Note that the hotkeys still work. Standard one for "All ahead full" is "A".)
Some missions might be affected in unknown ways due to the player having access to Drukhari ships. If you encounter such problems I'd advice to tackle the with pure Chaos fleets.
Admiral portraits, names, fleet names etc are all still Chaos even if you only have Drukhari ships.
Pro: You get to play with Drukhari ships and can make your own Drukhari fleets!
How do I install this wonder of the machine god?
------------------------------------------------
1: Have the 2.1 version of Skalgrim mod installed. (Follow the installation instructions for the main mod.)
2: Replace all folders, subfolders and files with the ones in the rar-archive by placing the "Content" folder from the .rar into your Battlefleet Gothic Armada II\BattlefleetGothic2 folder. When promted, let it overwrite all the files as needed.
3: Thats it. You should be good to go. My recomendation is always to start a new campaign when installing new versions of the mod. Especially Campaign submods like this one!
Reverting changes: Reinstall the main Skalgrim 2.1 mod and it should replace the Drukhari Alliance files.
I want more than one submod/campaign submod installed at once.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I'v tried to make most of the submods work together and also with the campaign submods like the alliance ones.
This is how it works:
Health + Weapon Damage + Buildpoints + Ynnari Alliance OR Waaagh Undivided mods = work.
Ynnari Alliance + Ork-Chaos Alliance = does not work. You can only have one of these installed at any given time.
Have fun admiral!
YEAH, nice! Thanks for your work and for uploading it
THATS IT IM EATING YOUR *** .....platonicaly ofcourse 😅.
Hahaha Im happy you like it. (My *** that is. Or the mod. Anyhow Im happy.) hahaha
Hi Skalgrim I must apologize in advance for being the bearer of bad news I have tried giving the submods a go but as I have started a new campaign the drukari ships are not present and I am fairly confident I followed the instructions correctly any insights? or do I need to progress further in the campaign to unlock them?
No they should be unlocked from the start (in a new campaign). Does your standard mod work?
yes works absolutely fine
the submod file downloaded has localization, splash and pak file with Z-Skalgrim mod containing a 404kb pak file has everything been downloaded correctly, do I need to tweak the steam launch options?
I have also noticed from the installtion video on moddb that the splash screen for me is showing the original skalgrim splash screen not the submod specific if that helps identify the problem thank you for your time skal and i look forward to hearing from you soon
Then yes, the problem seems to be that you have not installed it correctly as you should let it overwrite the main mod. These submods are very small, since they basically just tweak the main mod, but you still have to install them correctly. Go over the installation instructions again. Its basically just a "drag content folder from .rar archive - release content into your "BattlefleetGothic2" folder - let it overwrite everything. Done."
