Hydra Tamer

[Torin]

I was thinking more of a summon allies with only 25% chance of getting an hydra hatchling. or 75% chance of not getting anything.

I don't think that can be done, but I'm not an expert modder.
As far as I know, you can either automatically summon 1 or 5 units automatically(not BETWEEN 1 and 5, just 1 OR 5), give them the ability to spend a turn for 1,2 or 5 units, or use the automatic summoning dependant on dominion strength, but that isn't really thematic for Hydras.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, there could be a way to have them summon Hydra "eggs", but I fear that the maximum incubation time would be 1 month. Still, better than nothing.

Hydra tamers should be able to safely lead hydras on raids into miasma-covered provinces. It is not much, but at least it is something.

You can:

Have them autosummon per month regardless of anything else: Either 1 or 5 units.

Have them summon allies: 1,2,3,4 or 5 units.

Have them domsummon: Full strength, half strength, 20th strength.

Regarding units which change over time (like eggs hatching) it can be done and you can have it take X months where X is the number of unit ids you are willing to use up. However every time they get into a battle, it also 'accelerates' their 'growth' by the equivalent of 1 month. For eggs not so much a problem.

how would you do that without casting a spell sombre?
