A New World - Graphical Overhaul for Enemies [Continued]

Description
This mod is an updated version of the great Djent Djester's mod "A New World - Graphical Overhaul for Enemies".

Unfortunately "Djent Djester" stopped having time for modding and was looking for someone to continue to update the mod. I decided to do it, but Steam doesn't allow to change ownership of mods in their workshop or have other people (besides the original uploader) be able to update an existing mod. So I had to create a new mod page so that I can keep updating this mod until it's fully complete.

This mod is still a "work in progress" and not yet complete. Not all enemy graphics from the base game + DLCs are yet covered by it. But I plan on keeping updating it until all enemy images are replaced.

You need to unsubscribe from the original mod if you're using this one. Otherwise, conflicts will happen and things will overwrite each other and look messy instead of consistent.
I'm sorry about this, but you should blame Steam Workshop (I know I do!) for not having a way to give ownership of mods or allowing contributors to be able to update mods from other people.

This mod is both an update and an overhaul, this means that the original mod is included, but changed in some ways. Here are the differences between this mod and the original:
  • Different image border (I used a border included with the base game and edited it to fit with the enemy images).
  • Images are a tiny bit "leaner", this was made so that images fit and display better on the game's screen (instead of them all getting bunched up in some instances).
  • Boss enemies have a different (more fancy) image border than "normal" enemies.
  • This version contains images for when the enemies become allies (instead of displaying a white square).
  • Unfortunately the previous point forced me to also change all Ally card images (that have the same name as enemies) from the game to match this mod's enemy graphics. This is the only way for it to be possible to have enemy images when they become allies while not having weird (Ally) image cards that are tiny versions of the enemy graphics (which look horrible).
  • Some enemy graphics might have been changed compared to the original mod, but I don't really remember. If any changed, it was because I was correcting some inconsistencies (like the image being from a different species/race than the enemy or because the same image was already used by a different enemy, etc.)
  • This mod contains 286 more enemy images than the original. This more than doubles the amount of enemies now covered by this mod.

Feel free to make suggestions. If you see an image that you feel doesn't match the enemy, or if you find a picture that you think fits an enemy (if that enemy already has an image in this mod or not), then please say so. Your suggestions are appreciated,

FAQ:
Q: Some enemies (when turned allies) don't have the same frame as others. Why is that?
A: I didn't make extra ally images for any enemy that doesn't conflict with Ally cards. It prevents the mod from being even larger in size than it already is. If there's any interest, I can make those extra ally images, but it will increase the size of this already large mod.

Thank you so much to "Djent Djester" for your time and work in making this mod in the first place. This mod wouldn't exist without you.
Thank you to "Wabbit" for the original "Eranorth Reborn" mod.
Thank you to "Raven" for making such awesome games.
Thank you to my amazing wife for putting up with me and all the time I spend modding.

Original Mod Description:

A port of the graphical overhaul from Erannorth Reborn. This version is meant for the base game and has 200+ pieces of artwork. No scripts are used

DISCLAIMER
While Safe for Work, some artwork may be mildly disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.

Currently Present
Artwork for around 200 enemies

To be implemented
All remaining enemy artwork
Artwork for DLC
Ally artwork
Location backgrounds(?)

FAQs
"When I control an enemy, they show up as a blank image! What gives?"
I am considering doing a fix for this, which includes moving all artwork to a folder called "Unified," rather than "Enemies". This folder contains artwork for both enemies and allies and will also fix the white screen issue when you control an enemy.
However, this will also affect the ally artwork, which only have very few done. I originally wanted different artwork for enemies and allies, and wanted to implement this change once all ally artwork was done.
You can easily do this fix yourself if the white screen bug is too immersion breaking, but let me know if I should update the mod with this quick fix. (It may end up being more inconsistent)

To celebrate the start of 2025, I released a new version containing images for 25 new enemies (all of them bosses).

Thank you for your kind words @ElegantMud and @Hero Terre.

I am still working slowly on this one, it takes a lot of time to be able to find a picture that fits and then even more time to get the artist name.

I also have to take breaks sometimes due always being busy in RL.

One interesting (or maybe not) fact about doing this mod is that 3 years ago when I started, almost no AI images could be found while I was searching the internet, now probably 90% of results are bad AI images :steamsad: it makes searching much more cumbersome and takes much longer. I wish search engines had an option to disable AI results.
