I might eventually make an RoR version with a crank gun.

@sephiroxical19981202 I'm planning on buffing them soon and making them a proper tier 4 unit.
Thanks for the feedback!

They are not worth their price right now.

Is it possible to make a gyrocopter variant of the crankgunners?

Thanks for receiving my feedback well. Balance is a difficult thing. I of course have my own thoughts, but I will trust to your experience. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Thanks for the feedback!
I do plan on adjusting them a bit in future. When they first came out they were overpowered and it seems I over-corrected.

I hate to be that person, but now that I've been using the mod for a bit the crank gunners seem a bit underpowered for a tier 3 unit. Especially when compared to the Skaven tier 2 ratling guns. I know listed damage for ranged units can be a bit wonky, and that there are many other considerations than raw damage. Such as the dwarfen crank gunners being armored. I'm just having trouble finding a place for them in my armies as tier 3 is coming online and I start replacing my starting units.

It was hidden in a table I wasn't expecting. I had combed through all the animations and voice stuff for them and was stumped.
And then it wound up being a super easy fix lol

Awesome! Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your efforts!

I finally tracked down the chittering laughing sounds! I thought I had removed it before, but it was hiding in a different spot!

The crank gunners occasionally make Skaven rattling gun chitter and laugh sounds.

please bring your skill to chaos dwarfs need some iron sworn crank guns and iron sworn great weapons

I believe the crank gunners still have the rattling gun chitter and laughing noises when they fire.

Crank gunners should now work with all things thunderers do! Let me know if I missed any!

Thanks for the report! I can get that foxed up!

Hi! as someone already stated, the crank gunners do not seem to get all the same bonuses that thunderers do, especially those from the research tree and some character items (focal lenses of morgrim) and do not appear as unit icon for those, they only seem to get the red skill line bonuses. As it stands, they are an inferior choice to thunderers mainly for lacking range bonuses and there is not really a point to recruit them in campaign

Their unit icon does not show up on the skill and tech trees that buff other gunpowder units. Are they still getting the buffs/can you make their unit card show up?

That is unintended! Thanks for the report!

Are the crank gunners supposed to make ratling gun chitter and laughing noises? when they fire they go full skaven mode.

Yesh. They updated one of the tables related to units, so most unit mods broke.
Could be much worse though!

Thanks a lot! Most appreciated! You are Awesome! <3

And yeah, I hate when Devs change some base mechanic or something that a lot of mods need and thus break mods. :(

Updated for 5.2!

Yeah.
They changed a table so most unut mods are going to be broken.

I'll be getting fixes out asap!

Sadly the last Update broke a lot of mods, including this one. :(

Updated!

Working on getting everything updating this weekend, so if it doesn't now it will soon!

so does this one still work? :)

Thanks for the report!

a liiitle animation issue with the gun losing the top cap thingy after finishing the rotating animation

hi, i would like to ask if this mod will be updated to the latest patch, thanks

Thanks for the updates!

Dawi now just need gunners with long rifles. :) Like the Crane Gunners, or the new Hochland Rifles.

Thanks for the report!
I might have missed them with the new techs.
I'll take a look and get that fixed soon!

Hello! thank you for the awesome mod! I am just noticing a small problem: it appears that the crank gunners, while receiving correctly thunderers upgrades from a lord red skill line, they do not receive thunderers upgrades from the dwarf tech tree (namely the increased range,increased damage and reduced upkeep cost reduction). Thank you and keep up with the good work!

Ha, you were correct! Thanks for checking and the advice, all is working fine now.

@Sedall
I think you are actually using an older version of the mod.
I moved them to be in the same building as the other gun infantry units rather than the building chain that will give you the Thunderbarge.

If you unsub and resub that should fix it!

Hey, that's fast! Thank you!

Oh, I think I know what happened. They added another tier of that building.
I fixed that in the main collection and forgot to fix it here.
I'll get a fix out tonight. Fix should be save game compatible, though you might need to destroy and rebuild the building in the worst case (though I think a reload might fix it before you try that option)

Hello! I'm running into an issue since 5.0 where with the T4 building, I can recruit Crank Gunners, but if I upgrade to the T5 building (which now includes Thunderbarges) the Crank Gunners go away and can no longer be recruited.

This is now updated!

It probably does, but I haven't tested it yet. The dwarf mods will be updated next.

Heya does this still work?

Thanks for the mod! I prefer these stand alone options so we can pick & choose rather than huge unit mods.

Could you please make a stand alone for the Dawi long-rifle unit? (Expeditionary)

cant wait to see that @greenphoenix23

I have a small request, a friend, you can release this mod separately with other characteristics to increase damage by 800, ammunition by 60 and range by 250 (I really want to dream up) thank you in advance)))))

There will be definitely be some chaos dwarf units from me at some point.

this for chaos dwarfs would be so epic

I agree!

this for chaos dwarfs would be so epic

@Feathers the Penguin
Are you using the Versatile Engineers mod?
If so that mod uses my animations, but has not been updated yet. You would need to change the mod order so mine takes precedence (if you have both just reverse them to make it simple).

The patch with the newest DLC broke modded animations and not firing is a symptom of that, so if the non-updated animation is being loaded instead of my updated one, then they will not fire.

Hope that helps!

I have reverted the change that was causing a conflict with SFO. The original problem was with a different mod.

You will have to do some testing to see which is causing the problem, unfortunately.

I have confirmed that it is SFO causing the problem.
Looking into the reason why.

@Feathers the Penguin
Can you test to see which mod is causing the incompatibility for you?
I confirmed the mod works on its own.
