Change log: 6/1/2020, restored melee defense to vanilla value (12 to 22)

I’ve always thought that the nagarythe units really pale in comparison to a sisters of averlorn stack. Shadow walkers have their niche uses, but all in all, they’re highly replaceable. I wanted to change that. The purpose of this mod is to change the purpose of these units while making them more dynamic and fun to use, while impacting the battlefield in a unique way. Now, players that play nagarythe will be able to employ a full stealth army and dictate the course of battle with good decisions and positioning.

This mod aims to change Shadow Walkers and Shadow Warrior units’ roles in the battlefield.

Changes:

Both these units require the ithilmar smithy to build, effectively making them a tier 4 unit that plays well into the late game. For a summary of the changes, see the images above.

Shadow Walker (T3 -> T4, recruit 1100 -> 1300, upkeep 275 -> 330)

These guys’ roles have undergone a complete overhaul. Their weapon and missiles no longer have poison, but have madness of khaine (and why not? They probably fought a lot of witch elves in battle and picked up some weapons along the way. And I love the effect) and flaming attacks. Their weapon damage has been slightly altered from 24 base, 10 ap, 12 anti-inf to 16 base, 14 ap, 10 anti-inf. The biggest change they’ve undergone is their melee defense went from 27 to 60, hp from 4920 to 8080 (in context, swordmasters have 8400), unit size from 60 to 80. They are now more like effective dodge-taunt-support tank that can still dish out some damage. They also have a 25% missile resistance. I also changed their formation so they are more like their melee counterparts.

I’ve nerfed their ranged significantly. Their range went from 180 to 100, lost the poison effect, their ammo went from 20 to 100 and damage from 27 to 13. HOWEVER, I’ve given them the “Shieldbreaker” effect (-24% missile parry with shield). The reason I’ve done this is to give them a more supportive role to shoot a few volleys before going into melee to buff their ranged counterparts temporarily. I’ve taken away their ability to skirmish and preference to melee so that when AI uses them they are effective combatants you face.

I pit them 1v1 against a swordmaster of hoeth, and while they do lose in a pretty close fashion, they are far more dynamic as they retain their vanguard deployment/stealth abilities (see pic for straight up fight with shadow walkers after getting a few volleys off).


Shadow Warrior (T2 -> T4, recruit 900 -> 1100, upkeep 213 -> 220)

I’ve always thought shadow warriors were awful. Their upkeep is obscenely high for the value they provide which an archer could fill their role just as easily. There was nearly nothing great about these guys. That’s about to change. I increased their ammution from 20 to 25 and increased their missile damage to be slightly less than the sisters of averlorn (4 base, 16 ap, base reload time from 11 to 9, total damage to 22, mass from 3 to 6 on their arrows). They also have flammable on their attacks (-22% fire resistance for enemy) and their arrows reflect that on the battlefield with fire graphics on their arrows.

This adds a new dimension to the Shadow Warriors as a debuffer to enemies that enhance the new shadow walker’s flame attacks, all the dragons, tyrion’s sunfang, fire magic, sisters of averlorn, etc.. while still being highly competent damage dealers. It is highly advisable to bring at least one of them into your army now.

I have given the Shadow Warriors 2 firing modes:

1)Shadowflame - 180 range standard flammability shot 22 dmg described in the paragraph above
2)Arrows of Vengeance - Range 125, 36 dmg (shades are 130 range 33 dmg), 7 base, 26 ap, reload time 9.

This was done with the purpose of being multidimensional so it can apply the flammability debuff and go into closer range and deal heavier damage. Having more options is nice.

Their most exciting change is their new ability “Loec’s Shroud”. If you see you’re about to get charged or flanked around, you can pop this ability to go invis and get a boost of speed to quickly re-position and continue firing away. They are the more mobile, stealthier, debuffing, ranged focused counterparts to sisters of averlorn.

If you like the mod or see some balance issues, please write a comment.

Thank you
