Hello! Sorry to bother, but do you still have the name of the soundtrack that plays when Colonel Vargrif's skill "Into the fray!" is used? I'd love to check out the full version of this piece, it sounds great!
Also, great mod overall, every hero is very interesting to use, so congratulations on making this mod.

@Karl oh man the best thing about this mod is how gigantic it is. that's what we're here for!
but you can also just copy the mod files, peak inside, remove the bits ya don't like. not hard to swap skills for example with an existing mod to go from

Fair enough, I haven't thought about that, thanks again and keep up the good work.

Not for now, same for people who ask a single mod with all the HOL stuff inside.

You know, even if you don't want to use some units, don't research/build them and focus only on what you want. This will grant you more diverse enemy army.
Karl Jäger Apr 20 @ 9:15am 
Alright thanks for the quick information. Just so I know, do you have any plan to split the addon/make a lighter version? Personnally I don't want to flood my game with many units I know I won't use, and in my opinion you would greatly benefit from splitting between The Guard's subfactions (like regrouping the Krieg folks if I take them as example).
Devian  [author] Apr 20 @ 8:45am 
The Hero spawned them randomly, yeah. It was due to the total rework of the Krieg Folks.

You can recruit base squad an specialise them with the addon. The description may not be up to date. Sorry for this. I'll update it ASAP. If you look for more units and good intel, check the addon.
Karl Jäger Apr 20 @ 8:35am 
While the mod is great and you've done a really nice job, theres something I don't understand, what happened to Krieg units? I remember clearly that before, a basic squad would spawn, and then could be upgraded later on, yet today they just spawn randomly (according to what you researched), and can't be upgraded. I also saw in the comments that there is supposely a T4 upgrade for them, but somehow it's not there (only one available is the T2 to spawn the Death Korps). Already tried to redownload the mod and verify the files.

Since it's new faction's features, i prefer to let it for the addon. Plus I'm pretty sure that the Kasr need some rework/balance.
ColonelStraken Mar 19 @ 12:26am 
Love your mods Devian, thank you so much for all the work. Would it be possible for Enginseer Bylam Osiron to build all the new structures you've added in the Astra Militarum New Units mod, like the Modular Turret and Mechanized Depot for example?
