Imperial Guard

Welcome everyone!
This mod adds the "Imperial Guard" unit to the Empire faction. I wanted to make this unit for a long time and now i finally managed to create it the way i envisioned it. This unit is how i imagine a fictional imperial guard regiment for the empire would look like. It is not based on any lore material, however i did try to fit it into the lore as good as possible.

I hope you enjoy this mod but i welcome any constructive feedback so that i know what's good and where things could be improved.



This mod adds a new unit to the Empire of Man:

Imperial Guard

"The Imperial Guard of Reikland is recruited directly from the most elite knights of the Reiksguard Order. They only leave their garrison at Altdorf during the most dire times and usually serve as bodyguard to their emperor in great battles however there are some known cases when the emperor sent them to fight alongside another army as a sign of his personal support. Their ornamented armour and blood red capes can easily be spotted on the battlefield and serve as a beacon of inspiration to nearby troops. "
