Drakenhof Division (Dead Rise II)

Description
Back from the dead! Cold, gold and ready for action with 9 units, 5 of which include officers or Standard Bearers leading the way! Drakenhof Division have come to join the undead fight for supremacy, armed to their boney teeth with a thirst for blood and vengeance.

Here we have my second mod pack, as usual available to all Vampire factions inc Mousillon....so let me introduce Drakenhof Division.....

*Drakenhof (Spoilers)*
First up and spoiling for a fight are 180 of the Drakenhof Spoilers (see what I did there?!)....Tier 1 - Axe infantry, why? because no one else has. Same (all but) stats as the vanilla skeletons, +10 armour. These early tier units are all but cosmetic, as replacements or additions to the normal units but hopefully a little more fun...and a touch more attitude ;)

*Drakenhof (Swords)*
Next up are 180 of the slightly more restrained brothers to the Spoilers....Tier 1- Sword infantry, same stats as vanilla skeletons with +10 armour, again these are all but cosmetic otherwise.

*Drakenhof Veterans (Bows)*
The first ranged unit to crawl out of their graves at Drakenhof, 100 of these clawed their way out....Tier 2 - Long ranged bows, 160 range, a few extra arrows and a smidge more accuracy than average.

*Drakenhof Veterans (Spears)*
A particularly stabby group of gentlemen, you get 160 of these bad boys led by a Wight Standard Bearer....Tier - 2 Spear infantry, these are online in another of my mods (cheeky link at the bottom of the page) but this group is a little harder and more armoured, I have tried to stat the veterans somewhere between vanilla skeletons and grave guard, giving some middle ground units which are lacking in the game.

*Drakenhof Veterans (Horse)*
Galloping out of the earth next you get 80 snorting steed and their Wight Standard Bearer....Tier 2 - Cavalry unit armed with swords and like their brothers in arms the Drakenhof Veterans (Spears) they have increased armour of 50 and slightly enhanced stats to again give a little middle ground to the game.

*Drakenhof Guard (Greatswords)*
Looking particularly menacing with their impressive swords (there's a reason they're called Greatswords!), there are 120 of these serious dudes led by a Wight officer so terrifying he wears as a shoulder piece the head of a Varghulf he personally ripped from the body of its previous owner....Tier 3 - these were previously online but have been away for a refresh and re-balance and are back a little harder and more armoured.

*Drakenhof Guard (Halberdiers)*
Armed with halberds stolen from their fallen foes, 150 of these elite infantry warriors stand proud eager to do battle for you led by their regiment Wight Standard Bearer...Tier 3 - these guys (my gf's favourite) are well armoured and can kick (and slice...and stab) a fair amount of butt.

*Drakenhof Guard (Horse)*
The thundering sound of hooves signals the arrival of the Guard and their Wight Standard Bearer...Tier 3 - cavalry unit with some tasty armour stats and armed with some seriously imposing lances. Similar in stats to Black Knights but hopefully a bit more exciting to look at :)

*Drakenhof Guard (Crossbows)*
Marching at the rear ready to fire at your foes we have 100 Crossbows....Tier 3 - similar to the Drakenhof Veteran (Bows) but wth a little more armour and slighty enhanced stats and accuracy, hopefully giving this unit a little more staying power when under attack...not that I'd recommend leaving them unattended when under threat!


As mentioned above, a couple of these units have made appearances as individual units via my other mods however within the pack these have all undergone some re-balancing of unit numbers and stats to build what I hope you'll find is a nice mix of low, mid and high tier units offering a bit of something for any occasion :) A word of warning, like my Bretonnia Rise mod, these units can be recruited by the AI so you may come up against them!

Will be asking Decomposed to do some re-skins on this mod after the fine work he did with the individual Drakenhof Spears unit (see below). However, he is a busy bunny so that's a plan for the future.

(Updates)

**Updated Officers to Officers/Standard Bearers** ...Let me know what you think ;)

Drakenhod Guard Bows are now Crossbows.

I'll surely see what I can do, going to let things calm down a bit after the release though, especially after the elves update etc and the poor people who make pack file manager must be crying about the amount of info going into it what with Warhammer 2 base AND mortal empires, most of my mods I hope will be going into the big world :) and thank you, lovely thing to say

I'll see what I can do, very busy at the moment, there is a single unit of Drakenhof spears, wont be modding until after my EP gets released :)

I shall work on it anyways at it does look nice, as for modding, like anything gets easier the more you do :) best of luck and here if you need ;)

You're welcome, i'm starting to mod something (enhancing a bit the speed and charge bonus for vampires on foot) and now i can really appreciate the works behind units mod for example :)
I notice that with some reskin the glowing eyes are back, but of course some of your colors get wiped out, and i don't like it (like the red barding on horses), but again having no glowing eyes it's not a very bid deal :)
Bob  [author] 22 May, 2017 @ 3:23pm 
Awww thank you, that's really kind of you to say :) Yeah, sucks they don't have the glowing eyes, it's down to the animation I took from the empire flagellants which unfortunately yes takes away the glowing eyes :( However when I get a chance I'll see what I can do as I love the glowing eyes too lol I shall be working with another modder soon to bring some more undead units :) Thanks once again for your lovely comments :)
