Bat Units Expanded

Radious Submod
4K Textures

I've always loved bats, so whenever I play the factions that had them I'm always sad to see them quickly phased out of armies once you got to mid/late game because they just weren't viable at that point. So, I made this! This includes two units; Dire Bats which are just better, moderately larger and red-eyed Fell Bats basically, and Nosferatus which are a Regiment of Renown version with a unique regeneration ability. I actually planned to add more, but unfortunately it didn’t work out the way I wanted it to.
