Desperado (A Wild West class)

Description
Mod Overview
This mod adds the custom Desperado class, based on the Wild West.

A legendary figure, the Desperado, found his way into Elysium and opened it up as a new frontier for pioneers looking to the West. The power of the Desperado and the others in this new frontier lies in their guns. While powerful at range, they struggle in melee combat and lack any meaningful natural defense against magic.

Build up your town around a saloon with a wide range of buildings that will grant you various bonuses. Once you've build one town, move on to building another, starting with a new saloon somewhere else. Eventually, the government back home will send you some powerful units or maybe the fame of the desperado will allow you to attract other legendary figures of the wild west. Perhaps you'll even be able to bring the true faith to those in Elysium.

Units added since initial mod release
None yet, but soon to come!

Things to come
We are mostly just working on balancing the mod at this point, but a few more ideas include:
  • Improved sprites, especially for the train
  • Star forts and late-game garrison units
  • More Local Legends
  • New events including tumbleweeds, pinkertons, and John Brown
  • Custom gunfire sounds and possible background music
  • A possible expansion on the Preacher units
Known Bugs
  • There is an issue which doesn't allow the mod to be used in an illwinter-hosted network game. To use this mod in multiplayer you'll need to host your own server using Hamachi or a similar service.
  • The train itself is very temperamental when it comes to where it can be. We are working on ironing it out, so just be careful in the meantime.
Please report any bugs you encounter to the Bugs discussion and we'll address them as soon as we can.

Great idea, great realisation, but too weak in the start and starting infrastructure is too costly

Hey guys, not sure where I should ask because it's not exactly related to your mod, but I've been trying to make my own race mod and was using your's as a template. For some reason the new class is visible, the units with sprites show up, but despite having a command adding hometerr to a new class, the race spawns with no citadel or city, they just stand on a plain. Any idea what to do with that? I'm asking around because you are experienced in this sort of stuff.

@raylordraymondo These are excellent suggestions that we may or may not have in the works for the next big update! Glad to hear you enjoy it though

I was kind of thinking or hoping for union/confederate even with spec troops or just union regulars spawning camp with the marshal kinda like the explorer's guild. It'd be awesome to get ironclad ship, lol I tried taking gattling/cannon on ship but no luck. I must say though Excellent mod with great balance going toe to toe with the baron is pretty equal footing due to their more intensive armor/ large shielded troops. Thanks alot.

@Gilliland That is by design. However, I've considered removing that risk with immunities if the class feels like it needs a buff. Potatosarus and I will have to talk about it. Thanks for the feedback!

i would recommend giving the desperado resistance to charm and confusion because if it switches sides and dies you lose it forever
