Description
--What the mod Does--
This mod adds Dire Avengers to the game. They currently have the same model as Fire Dragons because I have no expertise in modelling so I cannot make new models for the game. I have changed the weapon firing sound and visual to be as close to a Shuriken Catapult as the game will allow (when I am stuck with the gun model being a Fusion Gun). The texture included with this mod is The Silvered Blade shrine.

---Costs & Balance---
30 food, 30 ore and 42 production to create. 3 food to upkeep.
They have 6 armour and the Avenger Shuriken Catapults are the same as the Guardian's except they have range 2. There are 5 models in the squad (1 less than a Guardian squad) which means at full health they do 16.67% less damage than a Guardian squad does and have 16.67% less health. They are unlocked by the Tier 2 Dire Avengers research.

I will play test and potentially re-balance them.

--Compatibility--
All of my Eldar mods are applied to the default Eldar (instead of adding extra factions) this means they should not break saved games, are very small in size, do not break any Eldar functionality (such as webway gates, starting city, unit abilities, etc.) and do not require updating when the developers make balance changes to the game. It also means that you can choose whatever combination of Eldar shrines you want to use together by simply activating those shrine mods (via Main Menu>Extras>Mods) before starting a game.

Compatible with Devian's fantastic "HEROES OF LEGEND - AELDARI EDITION (Add-on)" .

@Egbet Updated so that Wraitthlords will work now and sorry for the delay. Steam did not tell me I had a message from 2 weeks ago telling me about the problem!

Wraith Lord does not show in the Crucible when this pack is loaded.

Ah ok I understand then, thats good to know and sorry about your experience with that other modder, I hear similar stories often. Anyway just the gun shooting the shurikens has already made dire avengers vastly nicer to look at and more fun to use. cant wait to see the results if you plan to make units with new models eventually!

@Canis Majoris if you were using the Children of Asuryan mod the Dire Avengers that I made for that are very out of date because after 2 weeks of me working on the code of that mod Brother Severus refused to use any of the coding I did (even though I fixed everything that was broken) and he refused to work with me any further. Personally I avoid his mods as the code is a mess and he has poorly treated multiple people in the modding community that have tried to help him.

With regards to the Shuriken Catapult the reason I have not changed it is that a lot of the models in Gladius are not modular (the character and their weapons are all one model), so changing it would mean I would need to make custom models, animations and textures to be able to swap the weapon out. This is something I want to learn to do eventually, but will likely take me a long time as I have no previous experience in 3D modelling.

now I see that it works fine, I replaced their dire avengers with your updated ones! btw is it possible to change the model of the gun to the shuriken launcher or is it impossible since the model is the fire dragon model?

@Canis Majoris I just double checked and they already are firing the exact same projectile effect and sound as the Guardians Shuriken Catapults. They have been since the last update I pushed on the 4th of January this year.
Alastor 11 Apr, 2023 @ 6:13pm 
is there any way to make Dire avengers shoot the same projectile as shuriken catapults that guardians have?

@Cursed Hawkins The reason I used the Fire Dragon model and edited that texture was because it allowed for the iconic Dire Avengers helmet plume,. If I had used the Guardian model they would simply look like Guardians with a blue coloured texture, which would be confusing especially as my Dire Avengers mod does not replace Guardians (it is a new unit of it's own).
Cursed Hawkins 14 Mar, 2022 @ 4:11pm 
Late response but I honestly think you could have used the Guardians since if I remember right the Dire Avengers are more likely to be on the frontline than Guardians.

Awesome Thanks
