Dwarf Shield Wall - Formation ability for Dwarfs

In 1 collection by Rumpl4
Last stand of the Dawi
8 items
Description
Update: the units now have an animation, the front rank will brace and hold their shields directly in front of them, when the units move, they move in lockstep, the front frank move with their shields held aloft in front of them, i've removed the waving their shields and axes in the air like utter heathens, they now stand braced, ready for a fight

Ever annoyed when seeing Dwarven units in films or read about them in books, being heavily armoured and highly trained fighters and then in total war, they stand there being turned into a pin cushion, this coupled with the power creep of missile units on difficulties above normal...well no more


All Dwarf shield melee infantry units can activate a shield wall ability, takes 2 seconds to activate (During which time the models will move to their new tighter formation)

Effects:

+10 MD
+35% Missile Block (moves all dwarf units to gold shield 70% chance to block)
-5 MA
Unit can't run whilst in this formation
+ Expert Charge Defence (charge defence against all)

units can drop in and out of formation as many times as you like

Known issues: siege defence, forcing shield formation in a unit on a wall prior the clicking the start battle button will cause a crash, to avoid this, start the battle, then activate the formation

All feedback welcome and as ever, if you enjoy the mod, please rate

@Rumpl4: the Animation doesn't work. The shilds an weapons lay on the ground. Would you like to Port your Mod to WH3 ;-)

@Rumpl4: I have created a custom shield wall ability and would like to implement it into my dwarf tech tree (WH3).
Can I use your animations for my ability and mention you by name in the mod?

If its okay with you Rump Id like to try to update and port this over to wh3. Ill credit you of course if i manage to fix it for warhammer 3.

why would they change the file structure for wh2 with wh3 release...?
Rumpl4  [author] 18 Apr, 2022 @ 2:24am 
I've been out of the modding scene for awhile now, my assumption would be that animations and or file structures have changed with the release of WH3
