I'd like to credit Rohn's mod "Better Knights of the Blazing Sun" for a lot of inspiration for this mod. With his permission, I changed some of the stuff in his .pack file to make this.

For his version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1929058540&searchtext=knights+of+the+blazing+sun

This is my 1st attempt at a mod.

Purpose:

The empire has a lot of shock cavalry but lacks a melee cav. Their anvil unit options are sorely lacking in the empire and I wanted to create a unit that serves this purpose while not taking away the reason other units exist. For example, although KOTB can now kill greatswords, greatswords still serve a purpose to fight anti large infantry.

KOTB are meant to be multi purpose unit, but mainly serve to kill infantry. I also didn't want to take away the usefulness from the demigryph knight variants as they both serve a unique purpose (halberd version being anti large cav, regular being the hammer to KOTB's anvil).

The mod has been tested and balanced over several trials vs many unit types. For example, they can't beat a chaos knight 1v1, but can do much better vs infantry such as swordmaster of hoeth.

The unit comes with Glittering Scales (-8 melee attack on enemies aura) so it will always be useful to have a few around

Changes:

KOTB is recruitable from rank 3 stables, alongside demigryph knights.

Unit size increased from 60 to 75 - I made this unit to hold the front line and needed a larger number to cover the space.

Charge Bonus: 75 to 40.

Health 6720 to 7650.

Speed: 71 to 66

Melee Defense: 24 to 50

Leadership: 70 to 80.


Weapon strength

Regular: 29 to 14

Armour piercing: 13 to 24

Bonus to Infantry: 0 to 15


Added Glittering Scales

Cheers.
