Warpbomb Tweak

The Skaven garrison ability Warpbomb deals 108 AP damage. 108. Generally health values of individual entities within infantry units varies between 60-100. This means that Warpbomb, when cast, kills nearly every infantry unit in the entire game within its effect. I'm all for a challenge, but I started to auto resolve Skaven sieges. Between Warp Lightning on units exiting siege towers and Warpbomb the painful pyrrhic victories start to pile up.

I was tired of watching rank 7 elite units eaten up by clan rat summons with no way for me to do anything about it. This mod is a simple attempt to make fighting Skaven garrisons involve less boiling rage and heartbreak. I massively reduced the damage of Warpbomb and shifted it more to a role of killing low armor/tier units. Note that this does heavily nerf the player's Warpbombs as well, so keep that in mind for your own Skaven games. In my frustrating test against the AI this did about 30-35% of a Swordmasters of Hoeth, rather than 95%.

This is my first Workshop mod. It's incredibly simple. It only changes two values on one spell, so it should be compatible with everything bar other Warpbomb modifications. I'm not a Warhammer modding expert, so I can't do anything fancy like giving the player a different version, and I'm sorry about that. The bulk of my time making this consisted of making the awful photoshop, so if anyone wants more tweaked values, I'm happy to make them.

Changelog:

-Tuned Warpbomb from 0/108 normal/AP damage to 40/8 normal/AP damage.
