Griffon Knights for High Elves

This mod adds recruitable Griffon Knights units to all (I hope) High Elf factions.

Updated for game version 6.0


+++ Details +++

The unit is based on Yvresse's "Knights of Tor Gaval" Mistwalker unit, with stats balanced to be a middle ground between the Knights of Tor Gaval and Bretonnian Hippogryph Knights.

Griffon Knights are flying monstrous cavalry, recruited from the Griffon Aery, a newly added T5 building upgrade to the Grove military building chain (Avelorn, who lacks the T4 variant of the building, goes straight from T3 to T5).

Griffon Knights are also available in AI Skirmish battles.


+++ Skills & Tech +++

Griffon Knights are affected by:

Buildings:
- Exotic Animals resource buildings

Lord army abilities:
- Sky Master
- Silver Torrent

Technologies:
- Swiftsense
- Shredding Talons
- Heavy Ithilmar Armour
- Obligations of Nobility
- Friends In High Places
- Ancient Lair Warding
- Great Weapons


+++ Compatibility & Requirements +++

Save compatible, can be added to ongoing campaigns without issues.

Will likely conflict with anything that alters the Grove building chain, as well as anything that affects the tool tips for the above-mentioned buildings, skills and technologies.

Requires the TWW 2 DLC "The Warden and the Paunch" (probably).

Will have a minor UI conflict with my mod "Pegasus for High Elves" (specifically, Lord skill and technology tooltips). To use both this mod and the Pegasus one, use the combined mod found here:

+++ Known Bugs +++

- In the Building Browser, for factions other than Avelorn, the T5 Grove building shows a duplicate unit card indicator for recruitment of Handmaidens of the Everqueen, which should not appear after the T4 version of the building. Does not affect functionality (I think). No idea how to make that go away.

Please let me know about any bugs you discover, I'll try and fix them.
