Seekers of Doom: Slayers Overhaul

This mod shrinks the unit size of standard Slayers, Giant Slayers, Slayer Pirates, Doomseekers, Goblin Hewer, and all of the corresponding ROR and Grudge units while maintaining their ferocity to bring them more in line with their lore.

• Slayers are solitary doomseeking Dwarfs who long for redemption via death in glorious combat.
  
• The last thing they need is another Slayer who will deal the killing blow to a monstrous adversary, robbing them of their doom.
  
• Slayers size has been reduced from 80 to 32.
  
• Doomseekers size has been reduced from 32 to 16.

• Since their unit size has been reduced by 80%, each individual Slayer has been bolstered to deal significantly more damage.
  
• Slayers still soak up damage very quickly, but every individual has more HP.
  
• Slayer's Axe weapon stats have been increased so each individual Slayer hits roughly 2x harder to make up for the 60% reduction in manpower.
  
• Doomseeker's Whirlwind of Death ability damage has been doubled.

• Well... there was an "attempt."
  
• Dozens of various match-ups were tested across countless hours to ensure that the "Doomseekers" at least achieve parity with vanilla (un-modded) Slayers in standard infantry combat.
  
• Slayer's anti-large role is now front and center and no longer a "tar pit" style unit.
  
• Slayers will still lose in a 1v1 to elite infantry such as Black Orcs, Great Swords, Chosen, Swordmasters of Hoeth. They're improved per model, but they will still lose to elite anti-infantry.
  
• In vanilla, Slayers would kill Goblins roughly 2-to-1, which is pathetic for a Slayer to meet his doom to only 2 Goblins... With this mod, individual Slayers will now see roughly 10 times that kill/death ratio.
  
• Ungrim Ironfist's buffs to Slayers will likely make these hilariously overpowered.

1. Is this mod save-game compatible?
Yes, in my testing. If you enable this mod on a save that already has Slayers then their unit size should be adjusted immediately.

2. Is this mod compatible with Radious and/or SFO?
Test and see for yourself, it modifies only Slayers so it should work, but might not fit well within these overhaul's balance ecosystems.

3. Is this mod compatible with <insert mod>?
This mod will conflict with anything that modifies specifically the Slayer unit's stats or their weapon stats. Slayer reskin mods should work fine.
