Eustace's Hounds of Orion

This mod adds a new single entity unit to the Wood Elf roster, the Hound of Orion, as well as an associated ROR. It also edits Orion's skill tree to include a new skill which exclusively buffs this new unit, and his 'Hounds of Orion' ability has been changed to a summon of a special 3-model unit of Hounds.

The Hounds are intended to snipe vulnerable enemy characters, and can also be used effectively against monsters due to their anti-large bonus and armour-piercing damage. However, they are very poor against massed infantry, and are best used as pseudo-duellists. The ROR features scaling damage to make it even more effective at taking out characters and SEMs.

Hounds are recruitable from the tier 3 cavalry building and are buffed by the Wild Riders skills and technology. The ROR unlocks at level 10.

Update 03/01/22
-Increased cast range for 'Hounds of Orion'
-Increased health and armour of Hounds
-Made summoned Hounds unbreakable
-Increased summon duration, was previously far too short

-Orion's 'Hounds of Orion' ability still uses its old version in custom battles- as far as I am aware this can't be changed.
-Hounds of Orion lack splash attacks- This is due to animation metadata, I intend to change this in a future update when I get more familiar with AssetEditor.

This mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't change Orion's skill tree.
