About this mod

Boosted the Tech Adept's and Hierophant's pet mechanics. Will greatly help builds that mainly focuses on the pets. Added some features that also benefit all other classes too.

Important: This mod is made for Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor - Martyr - v2.9.4d. Using it on any earlier or future version of the game might not work.

What started out as small tweaks have grown into full system re-calibrations. With the introduction of the Hierophant's quite solid retinue system it was quite clear that the Tech Adept was struggling with it's under-powered constructs. Drastic changes had to be made. I have marked the most important changes with the "(critical tweak)" tag. Important: All these changes are made so you from level 1 and into the end-game can play on the "hardest difficulty".


Tech Adept
  • Unlocks access to all pets at level 1. Must visit ship HQ to actually "install" them. (critical tweak)
  • Boosted HP (and Suppression when existing) for all pets.
  • Disables the Kastelan robot 20 seconds freeze after it's HP reach zero. (critical tweak)
  • All pet summons are now on a 4 second cooldown.
  • Cybernetic Canticle (Construct Ability) now remove all resource reserves. (critical tweak)
  • +50% HP to Constructs (Construct Defence). Changed from +5% to +50%.
  • +50% Melee Damage Bonus to Constructs" (Construct Offence). Changed from +10% to +50%.
  • +50% Ranged Damage Bonus to Constructs" (Construct Offence). Changed from +10% to +50%.
  • +50% AoE Damage Bonus to Constructs" (Construct Offence). Changed from +10% to +50%.
  • +50% AoE Damage Bonus to Constructs" (Construct Offence). Changed from +20% to +50%. (no, it not a duplicate. It's two separate talents).
  • Thermic Spike, Heat Damage Bonus (Construct Offence). Changed from +20% to +100%.
  • Might of the Legio, Damage Bonus to Constructs for each existing Construct (Construct Offence). Changed from 8% to 20%.
  • Electro Kinetic Boost, Physical Damage Bonus to Constructs (Construct Offence). Changed from 20% to 100%.
  • Suppressive Protocol, Suppression Damage Bonus to Constructs (Construct Offence). Changed from 20% to 100%.
  • Galvanic Booster, HP Regeneration per second to Constructs (Construct Defence). Changed from 1% to 50%.
  • +8% Damage Reduction to Constructs (Construct Defence). Changed from 2%, 4% and 6% to 8% (three separate talents).
Tip: As a Tech Adept focus on getting "Cybernetic Canticle" ASAP, then Trauma Control (Health).


Hierophant
  • Unlocks access to all pets at level 1. (critical tweak)
  • Boosted HP and Suppression for all pets
  • No Time for Death (Retinue Tactics). Removed the 2 minute cooldown. (critical tweak)
  • Enhanced Training (Retinue Tactics). Changing DPS boost from 2% to 10%.
  • Field Endurance (Retinue Tactics). Changing HP/Supreme Damage Reduction from 2% to 10%.
  • Tweaked "Intervention" (Utility) by removing the cooldown. With this skill your character becomes practically invincible. (critical tweak)
Tip: As a Hierophant beeline for "No Time for Death" and enjoy the ride.


Trauma Control (Health)
  • Tweaked the "Trauma Control" in the Health tree because all classes have access to it after a easy unlock and 3 skill points. I simply replaced the function of the skill with that of "Intervention" (Utility) from the Hierophant class. This is of course the same version with no cooldown. (critical tweak)
Tip: With my tweaked "Trauma Control" (Health tree) you can lose your entire suppression shield and HP without actually dying thanks to Regenerative Bionics activating the moment you are about to die. Since there is no cooldown you are quite impossible to kill after taking this skill. And no, this is not cheating since your character still gets all the debuffs from having low suppression and hp.

Game Missions with the tank or mech.
  • Tweaked "Field Repair" on mission tank by removing the cooldown.
  • Tweaked "Battlecannon Shot", "Multi-melta Shot" and "Void Shield" on Mech so it's playable on hardest difficulty.
  • Tweaked the Mech HP trough the roof so it's practically immortal (it's so high the game can't even deduct from it properly). (critical tweak)
Tip: Make sure to abuse the "Field Repair" skill when playing any tank missions. Regarding the vanilla Mech, it had such a horrible gameplay I just had to boost the DPS and HP on it. Now it's actually fun to play! Enjoy.



Install instructions
  • Go yo your Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor - Martyr gamefolder
  • make a backup of the original "Cfg" and "Strings" folders (very important). Using winrar or 7zip works really good for this. If you forgot to make a backup I also offer a mod uninstaller in the optional file section.
  • extract the mod into the game folder and let it overwrite. Yes, you need to "unpack" the rar archive for it to work :)
Tip: From a technical standpoint you should be able to install/remove the mod at any time, but to be safe use it on a new game.



If you have "stutters" in the game (like I had) and nothing helps, follow this guide. Also, when using the affinity tweak, if you still notice "stutters/lag" just quit the game and restart it. Often one restart is all that is needed, but alas sometimes 3-6 must be done:

I was having microlag/stutter with a Ryzen 3700X and GTX 1080. Setting affinity to every other CPU thread fixes it for me, game runs perfect now. I just thought I'd offer this easy fix for those that may encounter the same problem.

To test if this fixes the problem for you, first try it manually. These instructions are for Win 10, but work in 7 also, steps might just vary slightly.

Start the game.

With the game open, open your Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL). Go to Processes Tab and find Warhammer.

Right click Warhammer in the list and choose "Go to details." I think you can skip this step for Win 7.

Right click Warhammer.exe in the new list and choose "Set affinity."

Uncheck all your odd-numbered CPU. I have 16 (0-15) so I unselected 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15.

Press OK and go back to the game. It should play flawlessly.

You will have to repeat this step every time you launch the game unless you want to make a custom shortcut. To do this:

Find the game in your Steam library, right click and choose "Properties." If you are not on Steam, find your install folder and go to step 3.

Go to "Local Flies" Tab in the top and choose "Browse Local Files."

Find the game .exe and right click, choose "Create shortcut."

Right click the new shortcut it just made and choose "Properties."

In the "Target" field, copy/paste the below line after you correct it to match your PC installation folder and affinity variable:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity X "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr\Warhammer.exe"

You need to change X to match your CPU, and change the game folder after affinity to match yours!

So, for example, if you had a 4 core, 8 thread processor (CPU 0-7 in set affinity), it would look like this:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 55 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr\Warhammer.exe"

X = threads 01 x core count converted from binary to hexadecimal:
2 cores = 5
4 cores = 55
6 cores = 555
8 cores = 5555
10 cores = 55555
12 cores = 555555
16 cores = 55555555
24 cores = 555555555555
32 cores = 5555555555555555

When you are done fixing the "Target" field appropriate to your install, click OK and then rename/move the shortcut wherever you want it. Now you just have to launch the game from your shortcut instead of steam launcher for automatic affinity.

This works for a lot of games where you experience unexplained PC lag, so remember this lesson well young grasshoppers.
