Elven Artillery
I am a huge fantasy fan, my favorite race being the elves. I got into the Warhammer fantasy setting with this game and I love it’s take on the race. However, I noticed a major issue, in my opinion, all elven races are technologically outclassed by most other races in the Warhammer world. How could the “wisest and fairest of all beings” be so outgunned by their long time rivals, the dwarfs, and even the lowly humans? I aimed to fix this using this mod and a fair amount of lore heresy (not sorry).
But on a serious note, I just wanted to give the elves some gunpowder filled goodness, this is not meant to entirely shake up the gameplay for the High Elves, Wood Elves, and Dark Elves as I still want magic and archery to be their main ranged damage sources (balancing changes may be frequent), but it is definitely clear that the Bolt Throwers are not cutting it in the artillery department.
The 4 pieces that come with this mod are pretty much one for one ports of the Cathayan Fire Rain Rocket Battery and the Grand Cannon on the technical side of things, I didn’t really change any of the damage values but I may change cost and construction time with more user input.
Now have the Cygor boulder attack but with the damage and building damage multiplier slightly increased. I did not change any of their economic values.

– SFO or Radious?
I don’t have plans to make any of my mods compatible with overhauls like SFO at this time because I simply don’t play with them. However, anyone that would like to make compatibility mods or patches have my blessing, just please credit me and include a link to this mod.
