Wild Riders Damage Buff

Description
Updated for Silence and Fury!

This small mod increases the amount of Armour-Piercing damage that Wild Riders do, allowing them to kill heavily armoured units like Dwarfs more effectively. It also adds +8 Bonus vs. Infantry to regular Wild Riders and +8 Bonus vs. Large to Wild Riders with Shields, giving the two variants different niches in your army. The Wild Hunters of Kurnous have also been buffed, and have been given higher AP damage than the other two variants to compensate for the fact that the added BvL to generic Wild Riders with Shields makes the RoR variant a bit less special. I also increased the range of the RoR unit's spear from 1 to 2 for consistency with generic Wild Riders with Shields.

Wild Riders
Vanilla Damage: 27 Base, 13 AP, 0 BvI
Modded Damage: 23 Base, 17 AP, 8 BvI

Wild Riders (Shields)
Vanilla Damage: 27 Base, 13 AP, 0 BvL
Modded Damage: 23 Base, 17 AP, 8 BvL

Wild Hunters of Kurnous
Vanilla Damage: 27 Base, 13 AP, 13 BvL
Modded Damage: 20 Base, 20 AP, 13 BvL

I was finally hit with the motivation and inspiration I needed to figure out the appropriate workaround to be able to update the mod, so I have done so! I added support for the Regiment of Renown variant of Wild Riders (finally) and removed the Bonus vs. Large from regular Wild Riders, since the game treats them as if they are just wielding a sword. The spear is for show. They are not dual-wielding... :( Still, this leaves both variants with a distinct niche which I am happy with.

Sorry it took so long and I hope the mod works for everyone that downloads it. That said I am personally all about the Stag Knights nowadays!

Hi, I never really play the Wood Elves in WH2 so I don't think I know what their weaknesses or strengths are or how to correct them. Sorry! Thanks for letting me know about the Wild Riders RoR though. I will look into that and upload an update if I can. The last several times I tried to update the mod it just didn't work, sadly.

I think that the Hawk Riders probably most need a buff to their ranged combat.
Also, I noticed that the RoR of the Wild Riders does not get the buff.

@Pollen121 I've never really used Hawk Rider's myself, but I have heard that they are underpowered. What type of buffs do you feel they need, and why? Your ideas would help a lot more than me trying to figure out what the weaknesses of a unit I never use or see are. :)

Added this mod to Estarc's Cavalry Damage Buff so you don't need to use both anymore!

Same here. The mods have no conflict in my own tests.

I downloaded your mod and checked it out in Pack File Manager. There is no way they could possibly conflict with one another. We just don't edit the same tables, and both mods are very clean with no excess edits.

Hi, I'm the author of the mod that apparently conflicts with yours; could we chat? I'd really like to get an idea of what the conflict may be.
