Description:

The first mod I made back for WH2, now updated for WH3 with big help from HvnterVMLV and Rhox

Features

Adds a number of wild animal units to the Wood Elf roster.

Campaign Recruitment


Constructing the animal building will unlock Wild Spirit recruitment in that forest. Much like warriors of chaos recruitment, animals can be recruited instantly and will replenish over time. Useful in a pinch, calling on the inhabitants of your forest to help defend.
Higher tiers of the building will unlock more animals, increase their caps, and replenishment chance.

Note: The animal building replaces the wood elf flying chain. Hawk Riders have been moved to the cavalry building.

Upgrade System


This mod has an upgrade system for animals. It’s fully compatible with Warband Upgrade Ultimate. Elves and Animals have separate tabs you can click between.
The higher tier animals in this mod can only be obtained via upgrading their low tier equivalent. This limitation is intended for balance purposes the high tier animals are quite powerful.

Tech & Skills
