Lost & Found: Dwarf Miners (Steam Drills)

Description
This mod adds Dwarf Miners with Steam Drills to the Dawi roster. As only elite miners attempt to bring such tools to the battlefield, this unit variant is significantly stronger than their pickaxe wielding brethren, acting as a high tier specialty armor-piercing and armor sundering unit. Along with their Underground Advance ability, they can launch sneak attacks on enemy backlines, or ambush unsuspecting foes!

Miners (Steam Drills) are recruitable from the Tier 3 barracks building and are buffed by any skills or technologies that targets normal miners units.

NOTE: This is a standalone mod. All content is included in Lost & Found Dwarfs: Complete Collection.



Summary
  • New Dwarf Unit: Miners (Steam Drills)
  • Elite 32 man unit
  • New Ability: Underground Advance
  • Armor Piercing
  • Armor Sundering
  • Anti-Large
  • Vanguard Deployment
  • Can Attack Walls

Future Plans
  • Expand mod into a larger Miners Overhaul mod Miners (Steam Drills) unit will retain a standalone submod for those that prefer.
  • Tweak unit stats/cost based on user feedback. The goal is to be balanced around vanilla TW:WHIII.

Hope it helps!
Also, I noticed you commented on the Lost & Found Collection.
I wouldn't have both this and that mod turned on as that might cause some issues as well.

The Steam Drills do not have unbreakable. The ability actually only spawns a dummy unit to use as a teleportation spot for the unit itself and then removes the dummy unit.

If the dummy unit is sticking around then there is an incompatibility with another mod's script going on. Do you have Moulder's Menagerie out of curiosity? If so, try updating both mods and trying again.

Need to remove the unbreakable trait, when fighting against dwarf factions these units tend to remain submersed and force me walk away and use the timer on battles.

Thanks!
The script to make that possible is thanks to PropJoe! It is based on an ability they had in tabletop.

The fact they can burrow and "teleport" around, that's a cool concept lol I wonder if the AI uses this
