Psycasting Mechanitors?

[Nullblaster]

So, is it possible to have a Pawn with both a psylink and a mechlink? Because I really like the idea of a Royal Mechanitor with psychic powers sitting on a throne and commanding his/her mech armies to battle whilste him/herself being a force to be reckoned with.

Yes. Not sure about the "sitting on a throne" part since you can only draft mechs when the mechanitor is nearby

Yep. Totally fine.

Note that there really isn't any synergy for the two (apart from not being allowed to make a psychically deaf pawn a mechanitor) but they don't really have anything making it a bad choice either

And make them an animal tamer.....

There are several draft range mods for mechs. Some of them make it unlimited, some are limited by the mechanitor's psychic sensitivity. If they wanted they could totally do the "King of Robots" thing. There are even mods to let anybody (not just royals) use thrones.

Could you maybe link me one of those mods?

Here's a few I found for you, ranging from implants to buildings to psy-sensitivity to the aforementioned infinite range.

You can set Allowed Area for Mech
Even if your mechanitor not on the map (set for caravan) just set allowed area for the mech you select, those mech will go there and attack if theres hostile enemy.
No need to draft the mech
