아자젤로써 플레이를 하면서. 묘영과 카타린을 각각 타락으로 이끄는 추가적인 퀘스트 라인을 추가하는 모드입니다. 일렬의 임무들을 통하면 이런 강대한 여성들을 아자젤의 후궁으로 전락시키거나 당신의 동맹이나 속국으로 만들 수 있습니다. Lazy's corruption progression 모드의 묘영과 카타린 타락모드와 완전히 연동되며 함께 사용하시는것을 추천합니다.

또한 묘영으로 플레이를 통하여 슬라네쉬의 손아귀에 떨어뜨리려는 아자젤의 유혹에 저항하거나 굴복하여 아자젤을 도와 당신의 전 동맹이던 차리나 카타린 역시 같이 함께 아자젤을 돕도록 하는 퀘스트라인 또한 준비되어 있습니다.

첨부파일에는 플로우 차트공략을 통해서 어떤 식으로 퀘스트가 진행되는지 알 수 있고. LUA 치트시트 또한 첨부되어 명령어를 입력해서 이벤트를 즉시 발생시키는 것이 가능합니다. 물론 가능한 한 자연스럽게 켐페인을 플레이 하면서 모드를 즐기시는 편이 가장 최고의 경험을 얻을 수 있을 것입니다.

在新战役中扮演阿扎泽尔。通过与两位领主相关的庞大任务链，成为妙影和卡塔琳堕落的催化剂，并在最后的联合行动中走向顶峰。在任务链中，您可以选择将这些强大的女性纳入阿扎泽尔的个人后宫，也可以让她们作为您的盟友或附庸享有自主权。妙影和卡塔琳的堕落进程与Lazy的堕落进程完全整合。

扮演妙影，抵制或向阿扎泽尔屈服从而成为为色孽的仆从。如果您堕落了，您将有机会帮助阿扎泽尔将您的前盟友女沙皇卡捷琳也转化为色孽。

如果您想了解更多有关内容的信息，下载中包含了两个战役的脚本小抄和流程图，不过出于显而易见的原因，您最好还是在一个全新的战役中自然地体验 MOD 的内容。

For play as Miao, the mod's content begins with a quest chain starting one turn after the player reaches Corruption stage 2 from Lazy's Corrupted Miao Ying Progression.

For play as Azazel, you will see two incidents and be issued two quests (one for each target lord) at the start of your 2nd turn. You will know Lazy's Corruption Progression is working if you see a dilemma on turn 10 informing you that Miao has been offered corruption stage 1. 

Player as Archaon or Belakor, you will see two incidents (for Miao and Kat) immediately on turn 1. After confederating Azazel by taking his last settlement, you will be issued two missions on the next turn after the next first tick (first tick is triggered by loading the save or fighting a manual battle). Archaon or Belakor now have 100% feature parity with starting as Azazel, and you can even use Katarin's split Tzeentch and Slaanesh authority if you play as either of them.

Player as N'Kari or Morathi, same as Archaon or Belakor, but in addition, a dilemma will appear at the start of turn 1 giving an option to confederate Miao or Azazel (to play either perspective of the mod). Additionally the Slaanesh portals will open between N'kari's start (Ulthuan) and the start of whichever faction you choose to confederate. This is NOT the recommended way to play, all the balance adjustments to the campaign were designed around the above 4 options, but this is here for those who really dislike warriors of Chaos or Cathay mechanics but want to play the mod's content. 

Player as Daemon Prince (Daemons of Chaos) Turn 1 instantly confederates Azazel (since there is no vanilla way to do it). This is NOT the recommended way to play, as you won't get the corrupted unit warband upgrades and the names for Katarin, Miao, and Locephax will all blank if confederated, but it is here as a decent option.

For confirmation that the mod has initiated properly, on turn 1 you can check the Azazel_log.txt located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War WARHAMMER III

Require all of the below, default load order is fine in all of my testing. MiaoYing_Azazel_content.pack is the main content of this mod and required. The other two .pack files in the download are covered in the below "recommended mods" section.

Lazy's "li_corruption_adaptation" is optional for Maio, better to turn off for Azazel. 

Recommend the below for best experience, all have been tested with this mod.

For Play as Both/Either

Highly recommend Corrupted Compendium and Corrupted Landmarks. I took over updating Corrupted Landmarks specifically to add generic Slaanesh recruitment for Cathay landmarks, and to create/duplicate an entire series of Warriors of Chaos landmarks for Azazel. It also turns legendary faction capitals in Ulthuan into Dark Fortresses so that those landmarks can be constructed by Azazel also. 

Passing's Corrupted Valkia isn't needed for the first 90% of a playthrough of Azazel's Realm, but if you have it enabled at the time Azazel's Realm's Valkia endgame crisis is completed, you will get some special treats, including access to the custom Locephax lord and being able to view Passing's scenes related to Valkia's final fall to Slaanesh. It has been very fun to collaborate with Passing on a crossover event like this. 

Both versions work with the "Immortal Empires Expanded" mod. 

For Play as Azazel

the "@@Compendium_Play_as_Azazel_Overwrite" included in this download is what enables natural Corrupted Compendium integration when playing as Azazel. For this to work, both the base compendium AND the "@Compendium_sheaModify" are required. This is because SheA's script gave me specific control over how the compendium is triggered. When all three are used, compendium scenes will start playing once Miao is either confederated or allied/vassalized via the Azazel mod quest chain. The emissary and scenes will start at tier 2, because Miao is already fairly corrupted, and the compendium final quest battles will be playable with Azazel. You should disable this specific file if starting as Miao!

For Play as Miao,

highly recommend you use either one or both of the below to be able to progress corruption in a natural way.

"Slaanesh assaults the great bastion" Replaces Kurgans with a Slaaneshi Warband. Fully compatible with this mod, and the Slaaneshi Warband will even be a part of this mod's quest battle. https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2851864965

"Miao Ying vs Slaanesh (Immortal Empires start positions)" Mod by me that swaps start positions to bring the three Slaaneshi Legendary Lords closer to Miao Ying. I recommend using this mod if not using "Slaanesh assaults the great bastion", but you must use the Mod Configuration Tool (MCT) options to turn the Azazel swap off. The Azazel mod is designed for Azazel being in his vanilla start position. The revive N'Kari quest from the Azazel mod will work no matter where N'Kari started https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860381227

Miao Ying vs Slaanesh face off (campaign balance) - The start position version is fine, but do NOT use the (campaign balance) mod if you are playing as Miao. It will make Azazel too strong for you to be able to sign an alliance with him without cheating in console. He will also obliterate Katarin before you can do her questline. You could use this mod for play as Azazel if you want Miao Ying's faction to be on steroids. 

Recruit Defeated Legendary Lords (RDLL) - Turn off AI recruitment if used! There are a few functions in Azazel's Realm that will revive Katarin if she is wiped out, (particularly needed if the player is Maio), to allow you to participate in the Kat questline. RDLL has a high probability of removing Kat from the faction before the revivals take place, which will stop you from doing the quest. Also both versions of Azazel's Realm have a revive N'Kari quest that will give you a broken faction if he has been transferred via RDLL. RDLL will also prevent Valkia from participating in the final endgame scenario. 

Warband Upgrade Ultimate (with BIG caveat) - Warband recruitment UI page size seems to depend on your game resolution. I made my warband upgrades match my screen resolution, but some others have an issue. If the Warband UI looks good to you with just Azazel's Realm, then enabling Warband Upgrade Ultimate will mess up that UI. BUT, if your UI looks messed up with just Azazel's Realm, then enabling Warband Upgrade Ultimate and loading it above Azazel's realm might actually recenter the Warband UI for your resolution.

Cult of Pleasure Mechanics for Morathi - changes units in a way that will crash the Miao vs Azazel quest battle. If you intend to play Azazel's Realm as Morathi confederating Miao or Azazel, then only turn this mod on after you have completed the Miao vs Azazel quest battle.

Legendary Lore - In the past, there was some kind of hard incompatibility. I'm not sure if it was with Compendium or Lazy's mod or both, but use with caution. If you have more data to share on using this mod then please let me know and I will update this section. 

SFO Confirmed cause of CTD on Miao/Azazel quest battle, let me know if you have more data.

here is my full recommended mod list and load order that was used for creating and testing Azazel's Realm. (hint: I never manually changed any load order)

I've poured hundreds of hours into making this mod as perfect as I possibly can. According to steam replay I launched TW WH3 3,791 times in 2023, (more than 10x per day on average 😂) Your support for this endeavor does mean a lot to me, so if you would like to leave a tip, here is a link to my Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/N4N7SX06B

The mod wouldn't have been possible without SOBORO, so here is a link to his pixiv fanbox, if you want to support him for all the amazing art that he creates for the lewd Warhammer community! https://so-boro.fanbox.cc/

Gannicus wrote the diplomatic quest chain scenes (Cathay diplomat scenes and the Greasus Ogre scene) and also helped spice up the 2nd and 3rd main Katarin scenes. If you want to support his writing he also takes commissions and has a Patreon and Ko-Fi. https://ko-fi.com/gannicus  https://www.patreon.com/Gannicus/posts The writing from the mods is available on his google drive through free a link on his Patreon. 

Please see pinned message in "azazel-realm" submod channel on the discord for troubleshooting steps if having an issue. https://discord.com/invite/lazyicarus

LUA console is at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791799449

Confederation Names: Confederated corrupted Miao will lose her name. This has been a known issue with Lazy's corruption series and unfortunately would be very tricky to address due to how the game categorizes names by culture. There is a fix submod for this pinned in my discord channel you can enable after confederating Miao. 

Playing as Miao, If Azazel's faction is wiped out before you hit corruption stage 2, the first "investigate" quest will still spawn, but after completing it, the quest battle will not spawn. This is unlikely to happen as the mod now gives Azazel an extra Dark Fortress to start off with. The same issue would apply to the Changeling quest battle in the Katarin quest chain if you devote yourself to exterminating the Changeling before triggering the battle. The AI isn't able to wipe out the Changeling that I have seen.
