@ShadowStrumpa Go to the modding den discord and you can get some help with the tools and how to use them. Took me a decent amount of time to get a handle on things.

OK thank you just checking. Love the mod and wish I knew how to do something similar. Keep up the good work.

@ShadowStrumpa I only planned on making huscarls and them being like base chaos warriors. In the lore hurcarls and marauder champions are the same rank/tier. They are the highest tier iirc so I don't plan on adding more.

Have you thought about adding an extra tier above that have similar stats to WoC's different chosen's like the Huscarl are like base warrior of chaos?

@888Umer Well chaos warriors are very strong units to begin with. Huskarls basically being the chaos warriors of Norsca means they are strong as well. Also I play on VH/VH and you can make pretty much all elite infantry of all factions very strong.

After taking Skeggi it became too easy to fill armies with high tier norscans(i use a lower upkeep mod) and battles became too easy.... so just buffed all enemy units with 10 armor and 5 melee attack and defense and now the battles seem more balanced. Maybe late game i'll remove enemy buffs if they feel too strong.

Also Miao can kill champions with gear and skill points etc.

@888Umer Not all LL are unkillable, some are better than others at killing mobs and others at single entities.

interesting... so that means i need a mod that buffs all legendary lords.. because i don't want to play without your units. Thank you for your mod!

@888Umer They have the same stats as normal aspiring champions. I just went into skirmish and 2 normal aspiring champions beat her in dragon form. They got taloned 3 times. the Huskarls did slightly better b/c when they start losing in battle for like 15 seconds 1 time they get buffed melee attack and defense.

Sorry! i meant Huscarl Champions.... who are tier 5 not tier 4.
I closed campaign at that time and launched it again to check.

Update: Forgot to remove the cloaks from the non champion huskarls. Huskarl champions should now be the only ones with cloaks.

Well the non champion versions are T4 so that doesn't narrow it. I also just double checked and they have the same stats as basic chaos warriors. Huskarls in lore are chaos warriors/marauder champions. I just copied the stats.

bro two tier 4 huskarls fighting side by side can't even be killed by Miao Ying in dragon form lol

@888Umer Tech wise I just made the marauder champs.

great. i am trying your mod out right now. the units look cool. I'll post again if i see that they become too OP with campaign, level up, technology boosts etc

@888Umer They shouldn't be unbalanced much. The Huscarls should have chaos warriors base stats for the most part iirc. I try to have my unit mods have similar stats to existing units with some changes.

hey great mod, i think yours and the other mod that adds skirmisher units(javelins etc) for Norsca are the best ones for Wulfrik...

I hope the tankiest unit in your mod doesn't out-tank the dwarven ones and the damage dealers don't outperform khorne units.. cause then all the hours put in the campaign just end up being wasted cause no one can tank nor kill our units and then there's no point in continuing cause there is no way we can be defeated.

No problem, i was playing monster hunter all day and didn't notice the updated happened lol. I have a lot of mods to fix :(.

thank god! I was really enjoying this mod thank u thank u so much this is a great mod!

pls pls pls update this mod pls

@sigmars_disciple 5.0 was the 30th, I updated all my mods on path day.

Fine for 5.0 as well? Last update was a few days before 5.0 dropped, I believe....

@Deathbringer I'm using both atm as well, should have no issues that I've seen so far so enjoy :)

Going to use it with the new Norsca mod Tribes of the North.

You are the main man. Subbing

@Deathbringer 10 different heads

How many infantry variant are in the unit. Like how many helmets style, face, beards.?

Update: fixed the unit height to match chaos aspiring champions.

have an award

I also removed the capes from the non champion units to make them a bit more unique.

Update: Added a aspiring champion version with flame effects and archaons move style. Let me know how it looks. They have the same stats as normal aspiring champions. I want to add some bits to their armor later on maybe.

I took the caped chest off the basic huscarls and used that as the body so the basic ones don't have that anymore. Then I gave them wulfriks shield and sword. I also gave them archaons animations with flaming weapons and eyes. I might do some more additions to the armor later.

no way dude that is amazing! cannot wait to try them. that has been by far the biggest hole in the norsca roster compared to warriors of chaos.

I made the champions just need a unit card. Will probably do that tomorrow then update the mod.

@sigmars_disciple Missed your comment sorry about that. I might do it I just need to think of some ideas on what to do. I might just take the cape chest variant and make that the champions with a few added bits to them.

Cool mod. I personally like @Caracalla's idea <3

@Caracalla I'll think about it. I'm taking a break from modding atm. When I start up again I will give it some thought.

You should put in a Norscan version of the Aspiring Champions

Update: Changed the stats to be like normal chaos warriors like they are supposed to be.

@jayful Sub-mods are something that someone else will have to do as I don't use those kind of mods. It's very easy to do you just download rpfm, add my main_units_tables to a new pack file then change it. You also need to add the main mod as a dependency which is easy to do. You open the dependency manager and add this exact text berserker_champions.pack to it then save and you are ready. After you complete it put the file in your data folder. Data location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War WARHAMMER III\data

Thanks for this. Could you make a double unit size for it?

Update: added a halberd variant

Update: Added a 3rd chest variant which adds a cape. I may remove it, this is mostly a test to see if you all like it.

@Fuzzyballs01 They are berserker "champions". Can you read? Also I can do what I want. They are better then normal berserkers and are not OP so I say I chose well.

hey that’s great and all, but they aren’t champions, they’re berserkers
looking at the wrong unit to choose stats buddy

@Redbaron998 They have similar stats to champions. They also do better than regular berserkers. They destroy regular berserkers in melee every time. They lose a very small amount of hp, 5 leadership and 2 speed for a lot of armor, more melee defense and more melee damage. They perform way better than regular berserkers.

Some of the stats (Leadership and health) are actually lower than regular berserkers...kinda making them not a straight upgrade. Any chance for an adjustment in this regards?

the vanilla ones are glass canons
armour doesn't work on berserker units, it's kinda in the name
what I did was just increase their stats so their defence is much higher (so they can survive longer) but their armour is still low
but I also lowered their unit size so they're more of a specialised unit like trolls without regen or AoE damage, and not just something that dies while taking the enemy with it
think like slayers but anti-infantry instead of anti-large

but what do I know, you do you ,I'll do me

I know, I'm mostly uploading the units i'm making for myself b/c why not share the fun. I'm trying to make a dragon guard with rifles atm. I just need to do the tables and test it for balance. After that I'm gonna work on my grave guard with halberds. I just need the weapon mesh converted to WH3 from WH2 and It's done.
