LoW - Legions of the Scarlet Empire

As am i back to modding this game(slighty) no full time commitment, i decided to add some more stuff to my older mods plus updating them slowly as my free time allows.
First updates will be focused on my Bloody Rose Order and Blood Legion mix mod(this one btw) it itself being based on some older mods and concepts i had for WH2. You can see the originals here: LoW - Blood Legion and WO - Order of the Bloody Rose.
And since i decided to finally expand on the ideas in my mind and finally put them down on something else besides my brain modding those ideas in some tangible way in WH3 is a good start.
Lore? Lore Friendly? No, nothing about units or characters featured on this are close to anything or based on Warhammer lore, the game is just a vehicle to make them real and as closest as the game allows them to my lore ideas, while still being as close as possible to something as game balance and sense in the warhammer 3 lore.
TL:DR connection? Portal opens to Warhammer world? Hmm, we ball let's go visit.

Gonna throw some kind of numbering to the updates as i add them to keep track for myself and people interesting on what gets slowly added, updates cause CA updates too, minor changes like tooltips or fixes won't be counted.
Thus comes current 2.1, what's new?
Decided to give new unit cards to some of the Bloody Rose units so they are more than in-game screenshoots i've taken, if you want to check the new ones you can check them in the mod images at the end. These units are closer to what i envisioned, and yes these are made with some AI fiddling(cringe i know), but unfortunately i've never had the time to dedicate myself to drawing as much as i would have liked too and all i can do is sketches, and frankly i find putting ideas on paper more fun that colouring it anyway. If people like their look i will also update my actual Warhammer based mods with that style too,
2.1 Also adds a new unit, the Crimson Thorns are a hybrid unit that are closer to artillery, they are fast, maneveurable and also good in melee, on top of being very accurate and being able to snipe single entities from afar from my testing,. Let me know how you find them. Also considering their strenght in battle from my testing i considered appropriate to make them a capped unit( they are accurate enought to snipe lords before they get close especially if they are large enough to hit consistently), thus i think caps balance them very well, you get an increase of +2 for each of the Bloody Rose Temple building you have at rank5.
I wanted to make 2 variants one for ranged and 1 for melee but didn't want to bloat the roster too much, that's something that kinda happened in all my older mods and i find more defined units more fun than having 3 variants of swords, spears and wooden stick in the game. Let me know in comments or discussions what you prefer to have, if you would like 1 very strong melee variant and 1 more ranged oriented artilery one.
As i reach the word limit i must say weeeeeeeee
See you next update, new hero type soon.


The Vampire Captain is a new type of hero that will be recruitable in your campaign.
Unlike the other vampire heroes they are focused on melee combat and buffing your units, throught some very usefull aura skills.
Possible mounts include Barded Warhorses and Barded Pegasus.

The mod mixes the units from both the original mod while getting rid of some of them that i consider didn't fit anymore or were just variants of the same unit and useless. Most of the units aren't supposed to be undead, those who are supposed to be have the undead trait those who aren't don't. Just like the WH2 mod there will be techs to turn some of them into undead.

• Sister of the Bloody Rose
  • The Infantry units of the Order are heavily armoured elite units. The 3 options have different roles, Warriors are the melee damage dealers, Guardians are good at holding their ground and while Sentinels can take down enemies from the safety of the backlines with arrow fire and put up a decent fight in melee once out of ammo.
    
  • The Cavalry is made up of heavily armoured Knights of the Bloody Rose, ascended as vampires they have the frenzy ability and cause their enemies fear.
• Blood Legion
  • War Wolves are fast deployable units with vanguard that can quickly harass backline artillery and archers.
    
  • Legionnaires are the core of the Legion, good in melee they come in 2 variants Swordsmen and Halberdiers.
    
  • Challengers are heavy hitting anti-infantry units that relish in a challenge and become stronger as the fight gets harder, available as foot-infantry or mounted Knights.
    
  • Knights come in basically 3 variants, armed with Swords and Lances or as Demigryph Knights.

Featuring 4 new building chains, the mod gives you the option to build 2 new defense building and 2 buildings for recruitment.
The defense buildings can be build in major and minor settlements and provide a garrison with the units from the mod should you want to have them as garrison.
The new Vampire Hero is unlocked throught the new building chain at Tier 4.

Units will not be recruitable by the AI for now and are available for the Vampire Counts Factions.

For now there are no new technologies to scale the units with, and they will not use any of the vanilla ones, the new lord added has skills that buff these units, in the future there will be new lords and techonologies to improve them with.

1. Mod is still in the work and not finished so any suggestions and help with testing is appreciated, i'm just one man.
   
2. No taking of any assets in this mod unless you ask for permission, it's kinda rude to take stuff without asking.
   
3. I will not personnally make compability patches with other big overhaul mods unless i use them. Feel free to make your own submod aslong as you link the original as a requirement, i will put a link to it here so others can find them.
   
4. Translation mods as always are welcome.
   
5. The mod will work 100% of the time in vanilla, crashes when using other mods are not my responsability. I try to make the mod as compattible as possible but something can go wrong, if it crashes try launching the mod on it's own first and then see what mods you could be using that conflict.
