Dark Land Orcs

Description
Updated for 5.0
This is a standalone mod and works without any other requirements! But you need MIXER if you want to play as the custom Dark Land Orcs faction yourself!

DESCRIPTION



The Greenskins are one of the most authentic Warhammer races and my personal favourite. Since my Dark Land Warboss (already included in this mod) was well appreciated, I decided to give them some new tools.





FEATURES
  • custom Dark Land Orcs faction and legendary lord
  • legendary hero
  • generic lord type
  • generic hero type
  • 5 units, 3 RoRs, 12 scrap upgrades
  • a new building chain for all Greenskins



THE ROSTER
Gormok the Dark Armourer


Gormok is the legendary lord and faction leader of the Dark Land Orcs. Even when everything shatters, he will stand as an impenetrable bulwark on the battlefield.

Gurthok the Harbinger


Gurthok is a legendary hero and will become available after finishing a quest against the Dawi-Zharr.

Dark Land Warboss


The Dark Land Warboss is a generic lord in form of a strong duellist and is exceptionally tanky but limited regarding his movement. In the campaign he features army-wide buffs.

Dark Land Drake and Dark Land Drake Rider


Featuring a high mass, a big charge bonus and a huge HP pool, these beasts sole purpose is to break through enemy battle lines and disturb their formations. But due to their low weapon damage they are rather very weak duellists.

The Dark Land Drake Rider has an overall strong stat line but also comes at a very high cost. He shares the recruitment capacity with the Black Orc Big Boss.

Terror of Gorgoth


The Terror of Gorgoth is a world beater that can be recruited from the RoR panel once a lord reaches rank 30.

Dark Land Bulwarkz


Dark Land Bulwarkz are strong and durable fighters that feature an area attack. But due to their low numbers they can get overwhelmed by other elite-infantry.

The ‘Breakerz of Zharr’ are a RoR and available once a lord reaches rank 25.

Scrap Shootaz


The Scrap Shootaz are a very slow yet tanky mid-ranged artillery unit. Their barrage in form of multiple missiles is inaccurate but devastating.

‘Da Bronzen Bastardz’ are a RoR and available once a lord reaches rank 25.

Dark Land Orc Boyz and Dark Land Orc Big ‘Uns


The Dark Land Orc Boyz are a basic armour-piercing infantry unit.

The Dark Land Orc Big ‘Uns are a high-tier shielded and durable infantry unit but are a bit lacking in regards of damage output.



Dark Land Orcs Faction
The custom Dark Land Orcs faction has unique faction effects, can build the building chain for the Dark Land unit recruitment everywhere and features unique garrison buildings.

MIXER is needed if you want to play as them yourself! With Mixer enabled, the AI will also perform like a major faction.



HOW TO RECRUIT FOR OTHER GREENSKIN FACTIONS?
The Dark Land Warboss is recruitable for all Greenskin factions. All other units can be recruited with a unique building chain that is only available for certain settlements in and around the Dark Lands, similar to the vanilla savage orc building chain.



The settlements (14 in total) are marked with a little icon. All Greenskins can build this building chain, except minor savage orc factions. Skarsnik has only access to the unique building chain while in control of Karak Eight Peaks.



COMPATIBILITY
There should be no compatibility issues.
My mod is compatible with the Variant Selector.

@UnrealProphet: Just to make it clear, the unique building chain is only available in certain settlements. Karak Eight Peaks is not one of them but is a requirement for Skarsnik to be able to build them. Or are you not able to build them in the respective settlements despite owning Karak Eight Peaks? If so, could you please test what would happen if you abandon Karak Eight Peaks and resettle the settlement the next turn?

Any idea why as Skarsnik I am unable to build the building chain despite owning Karak Eight Peaks? I confederated them if that is relevant

@Warlocc: As written, the mod is updated. But sometimes Steam does not download the updated version. Try un- and resubscribing to the mod.

This mod needs an update, it's causing a database crash. Same error the other guy is reporting.

@Wolfie von Carendot: Currently there are no further additions planned for the Dark Land Orcs. I had 1 or 2 more ideas for additional units but at the moment those are scrapped. The Dark Land Orcs are supposed to be an infantry-focused subfaction and I think the Greenskin roster in general is big enough as it is. ;)

With these fun new additions, are there any plans on some new additions to cav or monsters? The Legendary Hero having a heavily armoured boar would be fun to use with some boar cav to match, and considering how much of a Hellhole the Darklands are, who knows what other manner of beasts live there.

Updated! - No actual changes but patch 5.0.3 made changes to the 'Mentor' skill which needed adjustments in the DB.
