Warcraft: Guardians of Azeroth is a mod for CKII. It is based on the Warcraft universe and specifically the events preceding World of Warcraft Classic that are developed and written by Blizzard Entertainment. This mod is created and supported by an international team from all around the world working to recreate the world of Azeroth and all of its glory within the CKII engine.

This mod is in constant development ever since its release on December 25th, 2018. The full release editions of this mod are available on ModDB, Steam workshop, and the Paradox forum. Beta versions of the mod are available through the mod's GitHub repository.

This mod requires the following DLCs for full functionality: Horse Lords, Monks and Mystics, and The Reaper's Due. For full available features, it is recommended to also have Jade Dragon.

Historical Bookmarks

The mod allows players to choose from two different bookmarks, reflected from Warcraft 1 & 3:

• Opening of the Dark Portal (583) (Warcraft: Orcs & Humans) - Due to the intervention of Guardian Medivh, possessed by Sargeras, and the orcish warlocks led by Gul'dan, the Old Horde has invaded Azeroth under the influence of the terrible Burning Legion. The orcish horde has poured through the portal in the Black Morass, and the human kingdom of Stormwind is the first to feel their wrath. Should they fall, who in the Eastern Kingdoms will stand against the orcs' might?
• Reign of Chaos (603) (Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos) - Mysterious cultists are brewing up a magical plague, originally wrought by the Burning Legion to weaken Azeroth. Plague will strike the human Kingdom of Lordaeron soon, and many heart-wrenching decisions will have to be made to help the people who will be affected by the plague, and world-changing decisions are certain to be made by a human prince destined for greatness...
• Ascension of the Lich King (605) (Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne) - Azeroth is still reeling from the devastation caused by the horrors of the Third War. The kingdoms of northern Azeroth lie in ruins, consumed by the relentless march of the undead Scourge. The forests of Kalimdor bear the horrible taint of the demonic Burning Legion, despite their spectacular defeat at the summit of Mount Hyjal. Nevertheless, new developments occur as the orcs finally begin to settle the red sands of Durotar and the fractured Alliance deals with threats on every front, including domestic ones. The undead Scourge is also in dire straits, as the Illidari return to Azeroth in order to finish the job they started in Dalaran, while the undead forces in Lordaeron are on the brink of civil war...

Features

The mod introduces several features that are based off of Warcraft events and lore:

• Every nation found on the three continents of Azeroth are available for playing. You can play as nearly anyone, from the smallest murloc chief to the twin princes of Ahn'Qiraj.
• Ability to recreate many historical, and sometimes ancient, empires and kingdoms of old such as the great troll Empire of Zul or the dark Black Empire.
• Relive historical events throughout Warcraft history, such as the invasion of the fel-fueled orcs from Draenor, the Plague of Lordaeron, or the rise of the Scarlet Crusade.
• Join societies or create governments and nations dedicated to the service of Azeroth's great enemies. Serve the Undead Scourge, Burning Legion, or even the Old Gods in pursuit of your own personal glory.
• Utilize a class system (based off of the MMORPG) allowing your character to interact with others in ways pertaining to your class, such as blessing provinces and driving others to insanity.
• Enjoy a highly detailed map of Azeroth where everyone can find many, if not all, locations form the game (let us forget Vash'jir ever happened). The mod includes many regions from which you still cannot find in the MMORPG, such as Plunder Isle, Tel Abim, and more.
• Sort through a large number of many new traits allowing you to make your Warcraft character truly original.
• Have the possibility to decide the fate of your favorite characters and even Azeroth itself as you see fit.

Unique Mechanics Guide

Class System

Players can learn any of several classes, and below are all of the classes currently available and the requirements needed to be able to train that class. Players can also right-click the portraits of other characters with levels in a desired class and select the interaction, "Ask to be your Mentor". In order to take someone as a mentor, ensure you have fulfilled the class requirements and have 10+ opinion with the potential mentor. They must be at least level 5 in the class, and you must be below level 5 in the class. All classes progress from level 1 to 10.

Factors of Leveling

The mod takes into account several different factors when determining the speed at which your character levels up in a class, such as your character's focus, or his/her traits. The factors that either slow down or speed up your leveling are listed below.

Faster Leveling

• Having the Diligent trait
• Having the Ambitious trait
• Physical classes are sped up with high martial, traits like Strong and Brawny, and focuses like War and Hunting
• Magical classes are sped up with high learning, traits like Quick, Genius, and Shrewd, and focuses like Scholarship and Theology
• Having high intrigue or the Intrigue focus helps you level up all classes
• The point at which your stats help you level caps at 30

Slower Leveling

• Immortality, from either your race or trait
• Having the Slothful trait
• Having the Content trait
• Having a mental disorder ( Stressed, Depressed, Lunatic, Possessed, or Drunkard)
• Having a disease
• Having the Fat or Malnourished traits
• Being dumb ( Dull, Imbecile, Slow) slows down magical classes
• Being weak ( Weak, Frail) slows down physical classes
• Slows down after the 7 level

Note: Hybrid classes like File:Class paladin.png Paladin or File:Class death knight.png Death Knight are affected by both physical and magical conditions, but the speed of level up should end up the same.

Necromancy

Becoming Undead

Players can turn themselves into one of several possible undead forms. This can be achieved by selecting the decision Turn Yourself Undead in the intrigue tab. In order to use this decision, you must:

• Be 60 years old OR be 45 years old and Ambitious, Diligent, or Craven.
• Follow a Necromantic, Void, or Fel religion OR be Cynical.
• Be a File:Class necromancer.png Necromancer. (Level 7 is required for becoming a File:Class death knight.png Death Knight)
