Tau Gue'vesa

Description
Update: Scout sentinel and appropriate research, added hammer of wrath to Gue'va'garro.

Update: Added Gue'va'garro based off of Ogryn at the same tier of research followed by the brute shield renamed to Pulse shield, as per tau upgrade, and have as a possible research for a future new unit! I will continue to try to improve and keep any problems fixed! Still have at least 1 more unit i'd like to make, and a possible non Gue'vesa hero. This Hero may be its own download or may be included in this as i have yet to decide how ill handle it!

Adds the Gue'vesa to the Tau armies with units, research and new traits to have a fully fledged Gue'vesa supported Tau!

Units:
Gue'vesa are often the descendants of Imperial Guard troops who, during the Damocles Crusade, were abandoned in Tau space and chose to join the Tau.


Highlock Freemen are elite Gue'vesa Auxiliaries,Coming from a high gravity world, the Freemen are short and stocky, but are heavily armed and armoured. They are often used by the Tau as shock troops to break open holes in enemy formations.


Gue'ves'aui Sergeant These Sergeants have become a respected part of the Tau military and help spread the Greater Good while leading a propaganda campaign describing the fair and humane treatment human prisoners of war could expect to receive if they surrendered to the T'au military.

Using the Commissioner stats, Changes the ability Execution to inspire, removing the kill requirement, and adding morale lose to enemy units near by, Keeping with the idea of spreading the Greater Good.


Research:
Added the grenades for the Gue'vesa to each tier of equal value, as in frag grenade added to photon and krak added to EMP for just the newly added units, while keeping the original grenades still being given to the Tau counterparts.

Added Medpack as a research for all three new units, including Gue'vesa, Highlock Freemen and the Sergeant based off the Medpack from the Militarum.

Adds Research to unlock the Highlock Freemen unit to be created in the infantry building.

Adds Research Pulse Upgrade, In times of war, the Tau allow the Gue'vesa access to more advanced weaponry such as Pulse rifles and Pulse Carbines and other, more specialized equipment.

This adds accuracy and armor penetration to the weapons solely used by the Gue'vesa added units. This is the only upgrade the units have to keep them going for mid game.

Starting units:
Changed the starting units to 1 fire warrior, 1 Gue'vesa and 1 Gun drone. This is just my current take on keeping it balanced while adding the mod to the starting line up. Usually you either start with 3 guardsmen or 2 fire warriors, and trying to find a middle ground for the start i went with adding a gun drone as a third, feeling that 2 guardsmen units would be too strong or only one of each being too weak compared to other starts. The drone will not expire after 3 turns currently.

One last update as well, ive been working on a fully new faction, which has multiple unique heroes(can only have 1 out at a time of each type) that you can almost form a small group with each with different roles, ranged, support, assault, etc all the units and ideas are all done and finalized, just been working on balance! Going through codex's to make sure there are rules and what those rules are. Faction will be Renegades, with a focus on special unique heroes that hold together these outcasts.

Also currently have a hero in progress, I saw another mod add new Tau heroes though and ill have to see if the one i was working on will be different enough from what they have as well!

Hello all! I have not added anything else to the mod for a while because it felt complete at the time and had other things I was also working on!

On the idea on vehicles I wouldn't want to add too many as it would make them just a better version of AM, But things like maybe the Sentinel would be a fine addition! Ill look more into it more shortly!

Wait. How do you even unlock the highlock freemen and sergeants?

Nevermind. I tested it and it was just cause it was a preexisting save.
