LoW - Legion of Myrmidia

Hey hey people i'm back. This time with a returning and updated mod for the Empire, adding new units for all it's major factions. Being the Goddess of War, Myrmidia attracts all kind of warriors looking for her favour.
Founded by Knights of the Blazing Sun her legions wear stunning black and gold colors.

The Priestess of Myrmidia is akin to a warrior priest, decent in combat, able to cast battle prayers, buff units around them and they come with a variety of mounts including Great Eagles and Griffons. Recruited from the new temple building.

The bulk of the new army is made of infantry with some options for cavalry and artilery. I tried making different units serve different purposes even though many are variations of the same unit with different equipment for whatever you need to fight.

• Infantry Units
  • The bulk of the army are the Legionaries, well trained and decently armoured they come in different variations such as Spearmen, Swordsmen,
    Pikemen, Halberdiers, Longbows, Crossbowmen, and Pavese Crossbowmen. Simple units that don't need too much explaining, well armoured and capable of filling different roles.
    
  • Eagle Infantry is available as 2 variants, Eagle Warriors are a mix of melee and ranged, armed with pistols, sword and shield they are versatile units, while the Eagle Marksmen can gun down enemies from afar while being very accurate, they can deploy as vanguard and whitle down approaching forces.
    
  • Exalted Warriors are armed to the teeth, armed with sword, greatsword and shield theycan deal with infantry effectively. Recruited from Myrmidia's Temple.
    
  • Myrmidian Guard are the guardians of Myrmidia's Temples, given their background they are very strong capped defensive units, the cap increases with each temple built.
    
  • The Myrmidons are the best infantry units you can have, blessed by the Goddess of War herself they never tire of fighting and can deal with everything pretty well. They are also capped units.
• Cavalry
  • The legion has well armed and trained Knights, equipped either for prolongued melee combat or to deal devastating charges they are worth having a couple in an army.
    
  • Exalted Knights are the mounted version of Exalted Warriors, greatswords at the ready they are the equivalent of Questing Knights.
    
  • The last 2 cavalry units are 2 variants of Demigryph Knights, Halberdiers or Lancers.
• Artillery
  • Scorpion Ballistaes are versatile bolt throwers with a little explosive surprise on impact.
    
  • Blazing Sun Trebuchets are your siege weapons, as you might have realized they throw fiery rocks over whoever is in that castle over there that you don't like.

For now there are 2 new buildings, one which serves as barracks and recruits most of the units and a new temple dedicated to Myrmidia which will unlock Priestesses, increase the cap for heroes and allow you to increase the cap for special units such as the Myrmidian Guard and Myrmidons.

Units will not be recruitable by the AI for now and are only available for the major Empire factions. AI will make use of them at a later date.

Units will scale with the most appropriate skill trees from vanilla units, such as units with halberds scaling with halberdier tech/skills. Some units will benefit from both ranged skills/tech and melee buffs.


For one this mod isn't finished and i intend to add more to it over time at a later date, but i want to work on something else now as i got burned on this one so this is out here to get some feedback/suggestions for new units or maybe changes.
Updates to some of my other mods will follow slowly.

Not any plans at the moment as i don't play with SFO so i wouldn't know how to balance around it. If someone wants to make an SFO patch they can contact and ask me.

Yes the mod should work with Border Princes, Estalia or Tilea with or without Cataph's TEB.
Some issues are missing names for heroes, units lines not playing in battle and the units not working with the modded skill trees and technologies, meaning no unit scaling for now, will have to try and fix later.

Like the mod? Remember to rate it so other people can see and enjoy it aswell or check my other mods here:

1. No taking of any assets in this mod unless you ask for permission, it's kinda rude to take stuff without asking.
   
2. I will not personnally make compability patches with other big overhaul mods, if you want to make your own patch feel free to contact me, i'm easy to reach.
   
3. Translation mods are welcome just link and have the original mod as a requirement.
   
4. The mod will work 100% of the time in vanilla, crashes when using other mods are not my responsability. I try to make the mod as compattible as possible but something can go wrong, if it crashes try launching the mod on it's own first and then see what mods you could be using that conflict.
   
5. Mod works fine with my other mods from the series.

If you would like to give a little tip or think the mod is worth something you can donate here.
