Is this working post-dlc?

Do polearms get an 80 percent damage buff against large cavalry targets?

That's great to hear! Glad that you're enjoying the mod so far. :)

@Komogi. That sounds like quite a nice little update to the mod. I have no issues with how things are currently, but the changes in that future update do sound rather nice.

Hi Videogamer40000!

That is indeed the reasoning behind giving the spider mounts large target!

Regarding the size difference, you're right that the mounts are a bit smaller than the matriarchs, but I left them unchanged as sizing them up would have made them overflow their hexes too much. However, in the next update I do plan on making the mount traits grant single unit / figure formations, since no unit with Larget Target has more than 1 unit in their formation (except the Warbreed with Spawnkin). That means I should be able to size up the mounts a bit without issue, so you can look forward to it then!

Hi Manky!

No worries at all! Yes, standard mounts don't gain large target, only the exotic ones listed do! There were actually plans for the standard Boar Mount to gain large target as well, but I ended up deciding against it since there's no way to indicate that it will provide such an effect.

Thanks for the sub and favourite, hope you enjoy the mod! :D

I assume you made the spider mounts count as large targets because the matriarch units themselves are large targets. That's fair reasoning if that is the case; I was just curious since I believe the mounts themselves are a bit smaller than the matriarchs, at least off the top of my head.

Sorry I read it a bit too fast, okay I see only the 10% larger Dire bear and white wolf mounts count as large target, not horses and regular wolf / horse / pig standard mounts. So any standard mounts that dont offer extra benefits like exotic ones, essentially don't gain large target? That seems balanced
Kragg 21 Mar, 2024 @ 6:40am 
Very nice, thank you for sharing this! I agree with and like all of the changes, however I'm biased against one for "realism" or accuracy but why not horses too? if a horse doesn't count as a large target then I think the spider and wolf mounts shouldn't either. Only my opinion and I'm curious as to why you made that decision :) Thanks again for your work, subbed and favorited :HappyMask:
