DvergrAllies

⚒️ Dvergr Allies

Tame, breed, and lead an army of custom Dwarven warriors.

[!NOTE]

Dvergr Allies is a massive overhaul to the Valheim taming system, allowing you to tame vanilla Dvergrs, breed them, and genetically evolve them into four distinct custom combat classes. Featuring dynamic weapon scaling, complex genetics, and custom-built Native Monster AI, your Dvergrs are no longer just passive NPCs—they are an elite fighting force.

🛡️ Features

[!TIP]

Mercenary Contracts: Don't want to tame? Buy Dvergr Contracts from Haldor the Trader! Consuming a contract will instantly summon a fully-tamed, randomized Dvergr class (including rare elites like Spellswords or Berserkers!).

• Taming & Breeding: Tame wild vanilla Dvergrs using Coins, Cooked Meat, Sausages, or Yggdrasil Wood.
• Genetic Class System: Breed your Dvergrs to discover specialized classes. Cross-breed existing classes to unlock powerful elite hybrids.
• Dynamic Equipment Scaling: Your allies don't just get more health when they level up. Their physical gear dynamically upgrades! A 0-star Warrior wields a Bronze Sword. A 1-star upgrades to Iron. A 2-star wields a devastating Blackmetal Battleaxe.
• Native Combat AI: Weapons and magic have been flawlessly integrated into the native Valheim monster physics engine, ensuring perfect hit registration, aggression, and particle effects.
• Cleric AoE Healing: Clerics pulse massive Area-of-Effect Heal-over-Time spells to keep your army alive during raids.
• Discord Stats via BarrkBOT: Your server tracks your empire and reports it to Discord — who commands the largest warband, whose bloodlines have taken the heaviest losses, and who got lucky pulling elites out of Haldor's contracts. Deaths and births are recorded as they happen and survive server restarts.

🌳 The Breeding Tree

[!IMPORTANT]

You can't just find an elite unit in the wild—you have to breed one. When two Dvergrs mate, their offspring has a chance to mutate into a higher-tier class based on their parents' genetics.

🧬 Tier 1 Mutations (From Vanilla Tames)

Combining two base Dvergr tames has a chance to produce a specialized unit.

⛏️ Rogue + ⛏️ Rogue ➞ ⚔️ Warrior (Pure Melee)*

⛏️ Support Mage + ⛏️ Support Mage ➞ 🌿 Cleric (Pure Healing)*

⛏️ Fire Mage + ⛏️ Ice Mage ➞ 🌌 Elemental Mage (Dual Magic)*

🧬 Tier 2 Mutations (Hybrids & Elites)

Combining different classes passes down their traits into an Elite Hybrid.

⛏️ Rogue + ⛏️ Fire Mage ➞ 🔥 Fire Spellsword (Melee + Fire)*

⛏️ Rogue + ⛏️ Ice Mage ➞ ❄️ Ice Spellsword (Melee + Ice)*

⚔️ Warrior + ⚔️ Warrior ➞ 🪓 Berserker (Ultimate Melee)*

[!NOTE]

(Note: In the code, offspring that don't trigger the "Special Combo Chance" simply inherit the exact class of one of their parents, maintaining your bloodlines!).
