New Traits:
Airbenders* give your units bonus range, protection and mobility. While gathering up and scaling your wind ragers.

Curse of the Moon* your units are now animals with your tier 1-3 always transforming to spirit wolves on max rank. You can now repeatedly call on spirit guardians.

Descendants of Darwin: your units scale up when they rank up and evolve. You've got a chance at epiphany and acquiring the powerful forced evolution spell.

Changes:

Dragon Tamers* you longer evil aligned and your cavalry no longer turn into animal + dragons. If you liked that functionality perhaps take a look at my new mod. Picking a wyvern or dragon mount will then provide the same results.

Human Wave Tactics* Renamed to Wave Tactics and now provides an additional flat exp per turn to your low tier units.

Scavengers* undead now provide draft instead of souls.

Bug Fixes:

Colossi Legion* no longer starts with a blessed dragon.

Airbenders* are no longer incorrectly accessible

New (See images for details):
*Necrotic Flora*: Plants and undead become resilient necrotic flora with forests providing soul income.
*Oath of the Caller*: Give up drafting and a large portion of your gold for a Large boost in mana and summoning capabilities.
*Scavengers*: Provides resources when any unit dies in battle, depending on its type and allows the recruitment of Carrion Birds after battle.
*Devotees to Chaos*: Devote yourself solely to chaos, in exchange you unlock reusable rites and your units apply random debuffs on any hit.
*Human Wave Tactics*: You cannot recruit units above T2, but in exchange your chaff is easier to recruit and maintain while gaining more EXP.
*Dragon Tamers*: Break, collar and train your own dragons. Dragons are now considered animals, no longer require imperium and gain inner grace. (Requires Ways of War only for the start summon + spell, still useable without)
*Colossi Legion*: Everything is a demigiant now.

*Airbenders*: NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT, just a WIP/teaser




Bugs:
*Arcane Warmasters* (Fixed): Unit Bonusses are now correctly applied.
*Soul Forgers* (Fixed): Mass Soul Infusion should behave properly now.
*Mountain Raisers* (Can't reproduce): Hurry production bonus stacked with Luxury Markets causes a negative Hurry Production.
