Mounted Brigands

Description
This mod adds vanilla race mounted brigands to the brigand hideout monster spawners.

Mounted Brigands have:

Brace of Pistols - Brigands carry multiple pistols to keep their rate of fire constant as they ride around their enemies on their mounts. Brace of pistols is identical to the Fire Pistol ability, but does not have a 1 turn cooldown.

Sprint - With so many pistols, Brigands carry no melee weapons (they cannot attack in melee or retaliate). Sprint is even more necessary to them than the scoundrel.

Throw Net - The combination of being ensared in a net and swarms of pistol fire is as deadly as any spider swarm.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Also, can we get this unit without using mind control? I mean, a pistol-only cavalry just SCREAMS "outlaw", so is it possible to make it a rogue unit? On a second thought, can the dreadnought get a modified version (armored, with more "soldier" looks) of this unit as well? I also thought up the lore about this one:

“As our technology with firearms and gunpowder matures, we can now afford to equip our field units with even more guns than before. Once, we can only equip each cavalry soldier with one pistol. Now one can equip them with more - many more. Enter our Rough Rider skirmishers, equipped with six pistols and trained to reload them faster than ever before, partially thanks to the fact that they aren’t hampered by other weapons, they can easily outflank our enemies, kill them with a hail of bullets, and retreat back to safety before the enemies can ever get a chance to retaliate.” -- Modern Firepower , by General Owen Magnum

Just thought up a good lore/description to this unit:

“He rode towards us, his gun raised. After blasting our wagon master from his cart, he pulled out another pistol from his bandolier and shot one of our guards in the head. He quickly rode away, reloaded with breakneck speed before blasting our captain dead. Luckily, I was knocked out when my wagon crashed, and apparently he thought I was killed in the crash so he didn’t shoot me as well.” -- Return to Rocky Hollow , by Ham the Wanderer

They should probably be human, so they'd be affected by slayer abilities.

Does this mod still not work with the Black Dwarf mod ?

This is still preventing your Dark Dwarves from showing up. Do you have any idea why? I'd hate to just give up on either this or the dwarves.

I might try to figure it out this weekend!

Any progress eliminating the conflict between this and your Dark Dwarf mod?

This is a nice idea. :) I'd been thinking of something similar for a Highwaymen mod... I might pick your brains and/or request permission to use elements of this idea when I'm ready.

think you could make it so rogue lards can produce these units?

A very innovative idea!

As an aside, in Warhammer Fantasy Battle (if I recall correctly - I haven't played in a while), pistols can serve as a hand weapon when not firing. I think it may be too punishing for any unit to unable to melee at all.
