So I have been thinking about possible ways to make sovereigns more unique and differentiated so they play a little more uniquely. IN this mod I have created a bunch of new traits and items for existing and custom sovereigns. Also I have spiced up the existing champion histories by giving them more effects and some unique spells. I don't like a lot of the sovereign items as I think spending points on items you can replace later or pick off the ground is kinda lame. I prefer items and traits that would be useful all game and unique like the enchanted crown.
This isn't a mod just to improve the dlc sovereigns but I feel like that's a good place to start, as they make for good inspiration. Below is what I have finished so far. When I create enough cool new traits I might add a bunch of unique recruitible champions that use them as well.
