Unrad Grimbeard and Excavators

Description
Description

Teeth gritted in concentration, Unrad Grimbeard squinted through the darkness in an attempt to determine a line of firm footing. The slender path through this underground cavern was perilous indeed. A yawning chasm fell away to their left and a simple wrong step would spell the end of any of his companions.

The atmosphere pervading his band of miners was one of anticipation and tension as they too felt the overbearing darkness press in around them.

"Soon now, lads" Grimbeard said, adressing no-one in particular. "Best press on. We've a job to do".


This mod adds the Legendary Hero 'Unrad Grimbeard', a unit called 'Excavators' and a RoR version called 'Unrad's Excavators'.

  • Unrad Grimbeard - A veteran miner and a demolition expert, Unrad Grimbeard travels the length of the Worlds Edge Mountains forever on the lookout for precious minerals to mine and filthy Thaggoraki to blow up.
    + Special Ranged Attack - Unrad throws bombs
    + Sore Loser - If Unrad Grimbeard cannot win then no one will! Nearing death, Unrad activates his remaining bombs and will take himself and everyone around him to the afterlife through a fiery explosion!
    + Unbreakable -
    - Rampage

  • Excavators - A specialised form of miner unit whose skills have been frequently honed in the long running skirmishes with Orcs, Goblins and mainly Skaven. They wear heavy armour and armed with double-handed picks.
    + Heavily Armoured
    + Armour Piercing
    + Wallbreaker

  • Unrad's Excavators - Unrad Grimbeard's company of veteran Excavators.
    + Heavily Armoured
    + Armour Piercing
    + Wallbreaker
    + Special Ranged Attack
Unrad Grimbeard spawns at the beginning of the campaign for Karaz-a-Karak.

Excavators are recruited from the main building, Dwarf Keep, at tier 3 and above and receive all appropriate buffs from Lords, Heroes and tech-trees.

Unrad's Excavators are added to the RoR pool.

Was first mentioned in Citadel Journal #19 as an unofficial unit, so not really canon but still loreful in my opinion.

Changelog

Version 1 - Mod added
Version 2 - Most issues have been fixed in preperation for the compilation, including updated arts, etc.

Future Plans

Further balancing, perhaps a few unique abilities, we'll see.

Constructive criticism, feedback and any bugs encountered is always welcomed!

Known Issues
Unrad Grimbeard has his bomb satchel visible by his legs in Character Details.(He looks normal on the campaign map and in battles.)

This character/mod hasn't been updated in ages. Use the compilation instead.

This is probably unfeasible and not lore friendly for Unrad but if he had his own faction that started in Karak Dum that would be pretty cool

Oh I didn't realize it was compiled with your other characters! I haven't played in awhile and was just going through my mod list that I used to use. Thank you!

@MuffinTop Updated, didn't really think anyone uses this one anymore. But I do have to ask, since I am curious, why use this one instead of my Dwarf Character Expansion mod(which contains Unrad and the Excavators)?
MuffinTop Apr 21, 2023 @ 4:55pm 
any update plans?
Phyrex  [author] Jan 1, 2023 @ 10:24pm 
@Autumnchain That's correct. I guess I should probably add 'Excavators' to the text somehow.

What are considered the appropriate buffs for Excavators? Is it anything that targets Miners? They seem to be Miners+ to me.

@AdanaCityPlayboy That's weird. Try resub? It works for me.
