Carnage in the New World - Overhaul (BETA) (Updated)

Tired of underwhelming infantry and cavalry Lords? Try this mod out!

- infantry lords are actually quite useful
- Lords/Heroes will based off other units (Prince -> Phoenix Guard/Dragon Princes), but some maybe unique

(But not too long)
- Deadly and long-range but slow firing artillery
- Melee-Focused combat , missile units have had damage/accuracy reduced in exchange for more ammo and range.
- Powerful missile units = shorter battles
- Faster and deadlier Cavalry, but very vulnerable to anti-large
- Reworked unit stats - easier to understand, standardized between unit types, and organized into tiers
- Toned down campaign stat bonuses (buildings, skills, technologies) and removed AI difficulty battle buffs
- Some units maybe quite different from vanilla
- Units rebalanced to alleviate DLC POWER CREEP and discourage one unit spam, CREATE balanced armies for late game!!!

- Mercenary Veteran Halberdiers (Special thanks to Bálint for this icon and many others)
- Foot Squires (Polearms) (Special thanks to Darok)
- More coming soon....

- Empire Economy and Diplomacy buffs, they now are able to survive and thrive in endgame (in all my tested campaigns)
- Recruitment tweaks to encourage more varied armies and prevent artillery spam, if the AI only have access to artillery, they are only going to recruit artillery
- Inherit growth bonuses for greenskins/skaven/humans since they are the most populus races in Warhammer
- Lords/heroes level 4x faster until level 26, lords receive 2 skill points per level till level 21. Monsterous Mounts are lock at level 31+.
- Plus more that forgot to mention

Giving Lord/Heroes bodyguards is not a on/off switch, STANDALONE "swiss army knife" version NOT POSSIBLE
Unit stats had to be changed as Lords with 400 weap str and 80 men is ridiculously OP, plus vanilla Lord/hero melee stats are balanced for single models

- Compatible with small/focused campaign mods (eg. Old World Rites, AI army composition mods, abandon regions, chaos towers etc)

This mod is still BETA, I haven't gotten around to implementing everything I wanted. I am waiting for official CA updates before adding anything crazy. This mod can take 8 -16+ hours to update for a lord pack, I have a full-time job, so I want to keep update times as short as possible.
I've played a campaign for all factions between Warhammer 1 and 2.
I haven't gotten around to playing all old world factions in this game (Haven't played Norsca, WEF, and Beastmen)

- Green Text on top of unit info may not be accurate anymore (Won't update this until MUCH later, when CA are done with WH2)
- Autoresolve sometimes wipes out low model count cavalry units Eg: Demigryphs and Cold Ones

- Magic not yet balanced
- Magic missiles had to be turned into bombardments

- You'll notice some things set to zero, its alot easier for me when updating to set things to zero than to delete it
- Wall are too easy to bring down, I haven't updated wall strength, I may increase it, but I'm currently am fine with siege battle length.
- T-posing lord/heroes units belonging to rouge armies
- Melee/missile damage campaign bonuses are not yet balanced
- Ward-save bonuses can be too high
- Quest-battle only units have vanilla stats
- I could not get bodyguards working with monstrous beasts mounts (griffon, eagles, dragons, etc), unlike my warhammer 1 version.
really butthurt about this one, using the same methods as WH1 it causes a crash when the AI uses monstrous beasts mounts w/ bodyguards. It works fine when the player is using them, but then when the AI uses them the game breaks -_-
My other methods, which prevented crashing led to glitches that I could not ignore :(

I got monstrous beasts mounts working with bodyguards but there are two issues: Your character's model variant will change in battle, and if your character's model is killed in battle it will not count. I decided to scrap guards for monstrous mounts for now.

Crashing Battle Issues
- Manfred's Sword of Unholy Power Quest, after the battle choose to dominate captives. The game may crash if you pick other options
- Dark Elf LL quest battles, after the battle choose to execute captives. The game may crash if you pick other options
- I don't know if its my mod, or other mods/vanilla causing these issues.

I do not take mod requests
