Archon's Return

Description
The archons are back. Get yourself an Undead Archon Dweliing to buy the new dedicated to good units.
Units in the mod are currently (If you don't like looking at pictures):
Archon Legionary
Archon Avenger
Archon Priestess
Archon Saint
Archon Toxophilite
Archon Daemon
Ker
Titan

Enjoy and feel free to leave feedback.

Version 1.0 adds:
A unique building tree for the new archon units. The old and new building trees are mutually exclusive. Icons still the same until I learn to art good.

Version 0.9 adds:

Ker
(Which is the greek version of a Valkery apparently)

This unit is midly weak in straight up attack for a T3, but it can fly and see better than a Sphynx! Also it's horrific cries may send any foe, living or dead, to the underworld with no return.

Version 0.8 adds:

Daemon
Very supporty support unit, can't fight, but rather hard to kill. Also could make a decent (If expensive, scout). And basically perpetually happy. Send me a picture if you make one sad.

I'm thinking the Pegasus rider in 0.9 will probably be the last unit unless people can think more that add to the mod.

Version 0.7 adds:

Archon Avenger
Very very strong for teir two, and very expensive. I took the Archon route but kept a tiny bit of his highman heritage.

Oh, and Saints can now ressurect units.

Version 0.6 brings in:
Titan!
The graphics are ugly, but he's here, and riduculously strong. But Titan's are slow to wake, and you will not be able to rush its production.
Titans stride over trees, mountains, oceans, and lava fields with imputy, so tall are they. Their strength knows no bounds. Should a Titan take the field, you will win.

Version 0.5 brings in:
The Archon Toxophilite (Archer)!
The Archon Toxophiite is a unique archer unit that shoots Spirit Rays (Holy Bolts) instead of arrows. Though weak in hand to hand combat the archers are a formidible addition to the Archon lineup.


Version 0.4 brings in:
The Archon Priestess, a unit from my imagination (sorry, but it lets me do something cool for the Saint)
And the Archon Saint, which I want to buff I believe, but I figured someone might like to try it out.


Enjoy!

I made two mods to celebrate my ability to mod again!

I recommend looking for the modding pdf online. It's a good place to start. In addition, try copying a unit the mod editor and try to duplicate everything it has (building links, race links, unit sets, ect) and then you can play around with it from there.

Hey. How to crate mods on new units?
Lord Cameron  [author] 17 Jul, 2019 @ 11:17am 
Yeah its probably best to go for the original Archons if you are evil.

No problem. Though it kind of makes the obelisk of benediction useless if you're playing an evil character. Not that that's a bad thing,just kinda a "Well shit" moment. Lol
Lord Cameron  [author] 16 Jul, 2019 @ 7:55pm 
Cool! Thank you for testing that out :D
Hiba 16 Jul, 2019 @ 5:11pm 
Update on that,they indeed can
Hiba 16 Jul, 2019 @ 5:04pm 
I actually managed to get this question answered in game. The answer is yes,but they'll still be devoted to good of course. Next thing I'll test is if I can change their alignment through the use of embrace darkness,so I'll keep you posted on that one.

I think so, but I'm not 100% sure. At one point they had a hidden value which prevented them from healing which I had to fix. Another oversight could exist.

Question that is in all honestly probably a very stupid one.
I'm a necromancer. Can I turn these Archons into ghouls/undead when I run into them in the field? (I found a group of archon legionaries with a few guys)
