Free Ancillary Resources MOD.. Version 2.5 available now! with faction heir system!
The purpose of this thread is to provide ancillary art to the modders of this community.. I will collect all art from myself and others and post them here for all to see.. Anyone who wants to use them is free to use and or alter them to their own liking. Credits or rep to the creator/providor is always welcome..
To make it more interesting for the community i will provide the possibility to order your own ancillaries into this collection.. In order to do so, just leave a message with the ancillary you would like to see.. If i have the time, resources and imagination, i will gladly create these new pictures. Ideas can be accompanied with the following layout (to inspire other people):
Type: For example an item or a person
Transferable: Yes/No
Effect: What does the ancillery do
Trigger: How does a general earn the ancillery
Description: A small description to go with the ancillery
Image: An image which could be used for the ancillery
I also believe feedback is very important.. so valuable feedback will be rewarded with rep+.. Even negative feedback is appreciated so that the lesser art can be removed and quality maintained..

Version 2.5!!
New downloadable content available. This newest update contains around 100 new or improved ancillaries and an faction heir system. Each faction has his own unique ancillary for the system which will be introduced in turn 3. The system works fine but there are some game limitations which you should consider (these stand a bit lower in this post).
Download here
install:
Just copy the Data map in the folder and overwrite. Note that this mod is not compatible with any mod, only vanilla 2.1 or mods that don't alter any of the files this mod alters.
Note to Faction heir system:
- When the faction heir dies before the faction leader, the system will not work due to game engine limitations.
- Sons of a faction heir who becomes faction leader are always chosen before brothers, even if you are using the faction heir system. so your choice is always between the sons in the family tree. Unless their are none.
- generals outside the family tree can't become a faction heir.

Compatibility:
I made this mod compatibel with the Event Video Submod, just install both mods and overwrite with these files.

Small preview:
A small presentation of some of the new ancillaries. I have put in some new versions of vanilla-ancillaries to demonstrate my work. these are the following:
The one ring, The Witchking's ring, Ring of Barahir, Palantir, Hobbit, Gondor helmet, Elven helmet, Leave of Lorien, Gollem, Horn of Gondor, Staff of Gandalf the Grey, Staff of Gandalf the White, Staff of Saruman, Lembas & Elvish Rope
This preview is compatible with all TATW mods and can be installed just by copying the data-folder in the third age map and overwriting all the files. There shouldn't be any problems. Images of the implemented ancillaries can be found in the first 6 posts of this thread.
Download here

And of course a bit off advertising for the mods who use the ancillaries:
- Elves of Lindon WIP
- Divide & Conquer WIP
- Expanded Family Trees Submod WIP
- The Ruins of Arnor WIP
- Second Age Total War WIP
- Scouts Extended Edition WIP
All interested parties will receive an invite for the social group where i will post a downloadlink with the .TGA package.. this way you only have to rename them to your liking before usebut because of the bad uploadsites (with max 10 download) i only want this link accessable for the ones who actually plan to use it.
