Nexus: Dark Elves Upgrade

Description
As requested, This mod only contains dark elves changes and also keeps the vanilla unit sizes and speeds as default.

Everything should be fully compatible with mostly all other mods and Mortal Empire
(as long as none of your other mods changes the the stuff that this mod changes)

This mod changes the following:


COSMETICS
================

- The Dark Elves primary uniform color has been changed from purple to black.

-The Dark Elves primary banner color has been changed from purple to black.
=========================================================================

UNITS
==============

- The Dark Elves bolt thrower artillery projectile has been modded, both its shot types muzzle speeds have been increased, this makes the projectile angle fire at a slightly lower trajectory. Its single bolt shot now explodes on impact and its bonus damage on LARGE units have been slightly buffed to be a little more effective against large war beast.
Also, this unit now prefers to aim at the center of enemy units when possible. Its range has been buffed as well.
( ingame discriptions for these shots have not been edited yet, I will update soon.)

- The Dark Elves cold one's chariots mounts have been upgraded to armoured cold ones mounts.
( To me, it seemed silly that a army would not use its resources to create the most effective unit possible, there knights have armoured cold ones mounts so why wouldnt they use those same mounts on there chariots.)
This units projectile has been modified to explode on contact, this unit now fires 4 explosive arrows per shot and these arrows are most effective from a far due to the arrows spread, these explosives do not penetrate into units very far so at close range these explosive arrows simply explode on one or two men in the unit and does berly any damage, so its best to use them from a distance so that the spread makes allows it to hit a wider area. Manual skirmishing is recommended. This unit now has a decent bonus against cav units, its explosive shots are very good for slowing down cav charges. This unit will also aim for the center of units if possible.

- Dark Elves can now recruit volley blasters and helgunners but ONLY in custom battle matches.


- New Dark Claw ( Feral Cold Ones) units made for the Dark elves. ( These units were intended to be used as mounts, however, sometimes these mounts grow too large for any man to control and ride. No one knows for sure what causes these beast to continue growing and no one really cares because their unusually large size makes them perfect for dominating the entire battle field.)

- New Dark Ones unit for the Dark Elves.These are pretty much the lizardmen's feral cold ones exept they are used by the dark elves.
===============================================================================

WEAPONS
==========

Spears-I also had to give all units that use spears a decent bonus vs cavalry. spear units are meant to counter cav charges and large units but they simply fail at this most the time, now they are actually usefull and will be a effective counter to the faster cavalry charges.

Guns: There is no reason for guns to be outclassed by bows and arrows. This update extends the range of all muskets by 5%-ish. This update also slightly increases all muskets damage by about 1.5-2%...ish...

========================================================================

If any of you want a specific part of this mod singled out then just ask and I will create it for you.

I use a app called GEM_FX to make the game look the way it does in the video and screen shots
========================================================================

Here is a mod that only changes the units scale and nothing else.

rescale mod but with only half the size: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1426782698

Very good mod. Thanks. But there's one thing you may miss. After I apply this, kanite assasin's height is significantly downsized. Could you check this for me?

You are a saint. <3 Take your time, I know how it is. It's kind of you to even consider placating a stranger.

Hey welcome to modding, you really came into this with a bang. I LOVE this mod. However, would you be willing to make a version exactly like this one, but without the spear and gun tweaks? Thanks for all of your hard work.
