Bytz Better White Lions

Description
The White Lions are in an awkward place in the High Elven roster right now. Since the release of Grim and the Grom, the poor bodyguards of the Phoenix King don't have a great role to fill, with their damage dealing role being overtaken by the Ranger and their high-armor role being stolen by the Silverin Guard, there's little reason to go out of your way to get White Lions.

No more!

This completely changes the way White Lions function, turning them into an analogue to Aspiring Champions. With few models, but more power per model, these units now feel like the elite warriors they're meant to be. To hammer this home further, both versions of the White Lion get the Guardian ability, as well as Martial Mastery, and a new ability granting a hefty Physical Resistance when facing a lord or hero.

Additionally this makes a handful of small tweaks to Alastar's skills that effect White Lions, increasing the melee defense and bonus vs large they receive, as well as giving all the Chracian regional units vanguard deployment.

To balance all that out, White Lions are now much more expensive with a recruit cost of 1100 for the basic version and 1500 for the ROR.


Designed to work with Arthanor's 5th Ed White Lions. Which will provide White Lions with two nifty passive special abilities.

If you like buffing the poor grove units I highly recommend two more mods:
Death from Above: High Elf Great Eagle Mod

And my own Bytz Better War Lions

If you want The White Lion himself to be a bit more flavorful and not have non-Chracian mounts, I've got you covered too.

A compatibility patch for Venris' Battle Standard Bearers is now out!

If you notice anything is functioning a little bit wonky, let me know. If you want to make this compatible with SFO or any other mod feel free to, I just ask that you give me a nod. I don't know if there's much to translate, but if you want to translate it, you have my full permission to do so.

@Sscar I recently picked it up, so probably pretty soon- but no real timeline atm.

hey any chance your mods will come to wh3? thanks

Yes it includes martial mastery, it was taken in a custom battle so any modifiers from that (I think it should only be martial mastery) will show up.
Qujo Dec 28, 2021 @ 2:18am 
or is that stat image including martial mastery? lol

I think the original White Lion should strengthen its attributes after the number of guards is reduced, and I feel a little weak.:steamhappy:

Thank you for the reply, i will look into that mod. Great Mod by the way it is just i like seeing more white lions, my favorite unit!

@granbambino93 If you're talking about manpower, not really. The main schtick of this mod is to balance them around having a few very powerful entities, and increasing the number would require a completely different balance. If you want them to still have the same manpower but be a little stronger/more clearly defined, I personally suggest Arthanor's 5th Edition White Lions that I linked in the description, it gives them a bit of good stuff to make them feel better.
