Fire's Empire Rorke's Drift Riflemen Regiment

Description
"From the top of the mountains the soldiers rise, carrying their guns and swords, fastly assuming their positions and firing at each enemy they can see. Their will makes them stronger, the fear makes them faster, you can bring all of your warriors, but they will perish upon facing the 150 soldiers..."

This mod adds the Rorke's Drift Riflemen Regiment to the Empire, a powerful, large and expensive unit that have high resistance to survive on the battle, they are trained to be one of the last survivors of the battle.
Armed with a fast reload special rifle, awarded to the regiment after their first important battle, they will fire salvos on far enemies and when the enemy reaches them, they will engage melee combat. They're dressed with British colonial infantry uniform.

Unit Information
Rorke's Drift Survivor: When they are on clear disadvantaje facing the enemy, their will of combat make them stronger as the time passes, making them fight harder, fire faster, move faster, and other improvements...

Excellent Melee Combat: They're as good as an strong melee unit on close combat.

Strong Against: Melee Infantry // Ranged Infantry // Small beasts

Weak Against: Artillery // Big Monsters // Strong Heroes

Combat Tip: Put them to fire at the enemy from the max distance, don't put them to skirmish. When the enemy reaches the regiment, don't click the melee button unless they're greatly surrounded, then the first line will get their swords and keep the enemy at distance, while the back lines will keep firing at the enemy, delivering more damage.

This regiment also features an branding officer! Armed with a sword and a fast reload pistol, he will be wearing british honour colonial Shoulder pads and a special adornation on the uniform neck.

Brief Story
The first appearance of this regiment to the Empire was on a battle against a huge horde of norscan warriors, where a handgunner troop was ambushed by the entire horde, many soldiers perished, but 150 soldiers made their way to a nearby small village, where they fortified against the norscans.
They resisted against the norscan charge, and at the end they were alive and killed more than 3000 norscan raiders, and the remaining norscans retreated to their original lands, ending the invasion. They were awarded as a Honoured Regiment of the Empire and with their special rifles. Now all the men that enter this regiment must pass through the hardest training of all the Empire troops.

IMPORTANT Notes

Not Lore-friendly!
This unit does not enters Warhammer's Lore, as I don't have a good knowledge of him, so don't expect lore explications!

Extremely Expensive
The cost is very high for a squadron (4000 coins) for balancing their power of turning the entire course of a battle, that can already be expected to a clear defeat!

May be unbalanced
More feedbacks are needed, you're free to post comments on the discussion topic BALANCE DISCUSSION to make small balance tweaks, like changing some numbers. Open the topic for more info.

Well @attaru1 that's strange, as I've tested them many times in order to get them balanced to the game experience. Could you give more details on how they overpower? What the Ai actually do when it has them? In my gameplay, it used to keep them in a far shooting place, as a common marksman unit.

This unit is completely overpowered and broke the AI reaction during a fight.

Greetings! By "gain", do you mean recruiting? In this version, they are a RoR, in the other one, there's no limit, you can have as much as you want.

Hey @Throbbing4Jeremus, I'm not the creator of that mod, and I don't know who did it, sorry for not being able to help.
ThrobbingforMorbius 4 Nov, 2021 @ 8:23am 
did you make and then later delete a mod that added "colonial infantry" or something along those lines, with khaki/tan outfits and dark green armor to look like ww1/ww2 commonwealth infantry?
or am i thinking of another modder, if you did make it, could you reupload, if you didnt but know/remember what mod im talking about, could you point me to the creator pls? thank you very much

Hey guys, I disappeared from modding for a time, but now I got some time to polish my older mods and perhaps (let's hope) complete some other projects of mine. The unit limit was added again, but there's a new standalone (classic) version (link on the last sentence of the description). I made other changes too, so don't forget to comment on this :cozybethesda:.
