Norsca Update BETA V1

Venris here!

Time has come, after 40 hours of modding first Beta is up for Patrons!The biggest problem was to make SFO working. Mod is not simple stats change and many systems depends on other systems. So with official update changing some of them mod broke :(. But its working again and things will be faster and faster now. So no real ETA yet but its closer with every day :).

What to expect:

- not working campaign :P

- Dark Elves, Bretonnia, High Elves and Chaos new units rebalanced with some new abilities

- all other factions are working but new units are not balanced

- some other balance changes
LINK TO BETA CAN BE FOUND ON PATRONS DISCORD CHANNEL IN l-----beta_releases-----l

NOTE: Some new lords dont have new spells or skills yet because it will be done when work on campaign will begin. PURPOSE OF THIS BETA IS TO TEST NEW UNITS AND NOTHING MORE

Changelog:

Dark Elves:


- assassin hero ap and normal damage swaped and attack range increased

- Morathi now have more spells from lore of of shadows and death

- knockback resist increased on all witch elves units


Dark Elves new units balance:

- Hellebron got now bleed on all her variants instead of poison and her op cursed blade item is fixed now

- Sisters of Slaughter have Bleed instead of Poison, units number lowered to 80, strong vigour added, more ap damage added

- Sisters of Singing Doom are now much more elite with 60 units and new SFO ability Scream of Doom that makes all around to rampage and lowers their damage resistance, strong vigour added

- Hellebronai have no reaosn both in game and lore so I decided to add Iceblades from lore instead, they are elite bleakswords unit with Chill Aura and Frostbite

- Blades of the Blood Queen are now more numerous then normal Executioners (100 to 60) witht their stats, cause fear and killing blow added

High Elves new units balance:

- The Pureman Company were like SFO standard unit so I wanted to make them more unique, they are now more tanky and are unbreakable

- Riders of Storm were just simple upgrade and I didint liked it, so now they are melee focused infantry, low ammo with discourage effect

- Sisters of Avelorn are bit problematic, 90% of vanilla HE roster units is good at everything, not best at one, thats why I decided to port SFO stats for them so they are range specialist

- Evercourt Guard have ability that already was added in SFO so why not have both? they have slighty higher stats and magic resitance with SFO Magic Bond ability so they are superb in buffing mana regen

- Scions of Mathalnn only stats adjusted to SFO standards, I really like idea of this unit in vanilla

- Keepers of Flame got all SFO Pheonix Guard changes and are 24 units elite squad, cause fear, high knockback resistance and mass increased

- small stats buff for Questing Knights

- Pegasus Knights are now more tanky


Bretonnia new units balance:

- RoR battle Pilgrims deal now very high ap damage and are unbreakable

- RoR Foot Squires without any big changes

- RoR Knights Errant are now shock cav with high melee attack but low defence

Norsca Update BETA V1

Comments

I understand your argument James, and it's a good point to bring up. That being said I don't think removing them for SFO users has as much impact on the Warhammer universe and how dynamic it is perceived to be, simply because it is such a small change for such a relatively small portion of TW:W2 players. With the manticore lord unit added from SFO, I don't think that the DEs need any more anti-large tools, especially not the impact of a legendary spearmen unit. Either way I'll be happy, just my two cents.

I see where you are coming from, and your argument makes sense, but I think there's something important here that you're not considering: The Hellebronai are one of the new additions CA is allowed to made by GW. They are yet another symbol, like the Foot Squires and Hyppogryph Knights, that the setting isn't dead, and has been revived with new content. If I can suggest something, do your plans, replace them in the RoR department, but add the Hellebronai as a more interesting Legendary Unit, keeping the name, but being an elite Dreadspears unit with Frenzy and Bleed and stuff like that, that can only be recruited in Har Ganeth. They are generic? Yes. Can they be done better? Yes. But straight up deleting them is deleting one of the few evidences the Warhammer Fantasy setting is still alive, and it's deleting someone else's work. I just don't think it's either necessary and it sets a bad precedent for the future.

Problem is that most of new RoR got poison attacks and nothing more. Also, DE dont need another elite spearmen unit. Iceblades are perfect pick here. And I dont want unit bloat. Morathi will have new effects with them on campaign. As Legendary Unit? That was the idea in the past but Hellebronai are just so bad in my opinion they need to go out. Another thing is also fact that most DLC RoR units all Hellebron focused and its not right.

The update is very nice, but I think the removal of the Hellebroni for no proper reason is a mistake. While I understand this mod is supposed to be a full overhaul straight up deleting things CA implements because of your vision is a bad slippery slope for SFO to slide in, especially since you have your Legendary Units system and the Iceblades could easily be a slightly lower tier of Legendary Unit that can only be recruited in Quintex, to reflect their loyalty to Morathri
