Jungle Swarms for Lizardmen

Meh...

Make the recruitment of said..."snakes"...accessible from...the bestiary building chain...

That's fine

Like feral Cold Ones they're not meant to be readily available to the player and are really predominantly meant to be a summon so I'm afraid they'll stay where they are.

Here's a question I have, is it possible to move the jungle swarm unit from the exotic animals building? I really like the idea it's just a pain to see a swarm unit so hard to get because it's tied behind a rare resource.

@Meh Good luck! Again, these are just my thoughts. If you don't wanna do anything about it it's fine! Your vision comes first.

1. I'll try that in a bit as it had slipped my mind.
4. I'll do some more testing on this and decide based on that. I had thought I got them to a point that they lost to almost everything but I could be wrong.

@Meh
1. Isn't it tied to vfx_filter_id in battle_entities? Just set it to 0?
2. Great!
3. Yeah, I figured this one would be a bugger.
4. I see your point, but then it makes this unit the largest unit in the game and their balance is off. They can easily beat most other swarm units in matched combat. It feels like this unit breaks a predefined rule the game has. I could easily change it myself if I so wish however, so don't let me decide.
5. Ah, weird that the unit size defines if markers can be displayed.

1. Tied to anim, pain to remove.
2. Can look into other VA groups as I plan to redo these guys at some point anyhow.
3. Same as 1.
4. This unit is the largest because it's meant to be a swarm type unit even more expendable than CA's 180 model units. There are no vanilla examples of a unit so large because CA has stated they don't wish to make swarm units.
5. You can it's just that the models (and therefore markers) are crazy small.

Thank you for the feedback I'll try look into anim modding in the future to fix stuff like them exploding as it has indeed bothered me since I made this.

Missed one detail:

5, I cannot see the unit markers when moving the unit. How come?

Really neat mod, however I have some gripes.

1, the unit has splash effects. I don't know why. is that intended? It is really tedious to look at, since splash is for more large units.
2, the unit has the noise of the sepulchral stalkers and I find it jarring. I would just go without noise to be honest, unless a more fitting one can be found. Maybe salamanders? Idk
3, when the unit dies it explodes. Like the sepulchral stalkers. Any way to fix that?
4, I find it personally that the unit is oversized by a large margin. The largest unit size allowed seems to be 180, so I would say to balance it around the size of 180 would be the fairest balance startpoint. A balance between zombies and skavenslaves is a good starting point for a disposable unit like this.

Other than that, a brilliant idea! Fantastic!
