Desperado (A Wild West class)
This mod adds the custom Desperado class, based on the Wild West.
A legendary figure, the Desperado, found his way into Elysium and opened it up as a new frontier for pioneers looking to the West. The power of the Desperado and the others in this new frontier lies in their guns. While powerful at range, they struggle in melee combat and lack any meaningful natural defense against magic.
Build up your town around a saloon with a wide range of buildings that will grant you various bonuses. Once you’ve build one town, move on to building another, starting with a new saloon somewhere else. Eventually, the government back home will send you some powerful units or maybe the fame of the desperado will allow you to attract other legendary figures of the wild west. Perhaps you’ll even be able to bring the true faith to those in Elysium.
None yet, but soon to come!
We are mostly just working on balancing the mod at this point, but a few more ideas include:
- Improved sprites, especially for the train
- Star forts and late-game garrison units
- More Local Legends
- New events including tumbleweeds, pinkertons, and John Brown
- Custom gunfire sounds and possible background music
- A possible expansion on the Preacher units
- There is an issue which doesn’t allow the mod to be used in an illwinter-hosted network game. To use this mod in multiplayer you’ll need to host your own server using Hamachi or a similar service.
- The train itself is very temperamental when it comes to where it can be. We are working on ironing it out, so just be careful in the meantime.
Please report any bugs you encounter to the Bugs discussion and we’ll address them as soon as we can.
