Greenskins - Scrap Upgrades Enhanced (More choices & cost discounts) [6.2]

Description
***RECENTLY UPDATED FOR 6.1 - SOME CHANGES STILL WIP***

Hello there!

Are you playing a campaign with the Greenskins (or want the AI to put up a more varied fight) and disappointed with the limited selection of scrap upgrade options? Want to better adapt each army to fit the situation/counter matchups? Want the bonus range on your Goblin Archers? Then this is the mod for you!

Instead of 2, sometimes 3 (exclusives) Scrap Upgrades per unit, you now have 3, 4, and even 5 different choices for unit to be upgraded! None of these are new, they're just re-purposed from other units that have the upgrade, but for some inexplicable reason the others don't get it. This mod takes the common sense approach and attempts to share what's available depending on your playstyle.

CHANGES:
  • The escalating Scrap Upgrade cost for multiple upgrades is now 10 Scrap per additional upgrade (instead of 30) to account for the additional choices (also felt it was overly punitive)
  • Goblin Archers, Night Goblin Archers, & Night Goblin Archers (Fanatics) now additionally have access to Betta Bows (+20% Range)
  • Orc Arrer Boyz now additionally have access to Heavy Ammo (+3 Armor-Piercing missile damage)

TODO:
  • Update all the other units worth updating too: Black Orcs, Trolls, Cavalry, Monsters (Black Orcs with Water Flasks and Perfect Vigor? Hmm...)

COMPATIBILITY:
This mod should be relatively highly compatible, unless you have mods that also affect the greenskins scrap upgrades script "wh2_dlc15_salvage.lua". It is possible to be enabled in the middle of an existing campaign, HOWEVER I do highly recommend that you start a new campaign. You will also encounter issues if you save a game, disable the mod, and reload that save.

Should be working with this mod that grants other factions exclusive features (like unique Scrap upgrades per Legendary Lord faction):

TESTING:
Tested mainly during patch 5.1 (post-Thrones of Decay + Karanak) in the Immortal Empires Campaign.

MORE IDEAS BASED ON THIS MOD:
  • Grant access to Grom's Cauldron for other Greenskin factions if they Confederate Grom

Many thanks y'all, and have fun!

Maybe add a version that reduces the scrap increase from 30 to 20, or 15.

seems to work with radious as well. The real question is, is this balanced?

Updated for baseline 6.1 - no obvious changes were needed after some testing; mainly forcing the Mod Manager to change from the warning icon to the green checkmark icon instead

Addressing comments if/when I get a free moment! :ufoshock:

@Sunginious the Brave, while I agree that'd be nice for later in the campaign when fielding many armies, I'd argue that fits better as a standalone companion mod.

fairly cool mod. could you also make it so you get more scrap from combat? as of right now its not enough.

Are you considering adding Heavy Ammo Scrap Upgrade to the ROR crossbows (Ruglud's Armoured Orcs)?

Hi I applied this mod and found that other scrap skill access well. But the escalating Scrap Upgrade cost was still 30. That's wired that other did fine but only scrap did not applied. Am i only one that does not apply Scrap reduction?

@Llamakazi, thanks for the update. Now I have to decide if I want to try to start a Gorbad campaign now or wait for my new cpu arriving Monday.

Try this (when they update it for 6.0) https://cs2bus.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2882587644

@Max Power
The new 6.0 version should work mid-campaign.

@CheesyRamen
With the 6.0 changes it should be easier than it was before. I'll look into some kind of Aspect/Scrap mod for Wood Elves when I get a moment.
