Warriors and Huntresses of Greece
Do you think Greek factions have weak sword units? Do you think they lack stealth archers? No more.
With this unit pack you get Warriors that are superior to even the Praetorian guard and deadly Huntresses who hide in plain site.
This is the newest version of my mod that has 2 new units but if you only want the Warriors – fell free to use other mode with Warriors alone: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3742309369

Now to the details.
1. Warriors of Great Hellas.
Recruitment from heavy Greek barracks level 4, Big city level 4 and temple of Zeus level 4.
Strong melee sword unit of 200 men that is ideal for storming walls or flanking maneuvers. It seems OP but it has some pros and cons.
Strengths
a) Heavy armor and testudo formation helps them survive missile fire;
b) Huge melee damage will make them winners in almost every 1 v 1 fight;
c) Despite being heavy infantry they have "Rapid advance" ability that will launch them at the enemy.
Weaknesses
a) Expenses. Base recruitment cost is set to 2200 money and upkeep is 500;
b) There is no unit cap but recruitment itself requires 2 turns and is only possible in level 4 barracks, level 4 city or level 4 temple of Zeus. This unit is intended to be the ultimate endgame force;
c) After a 2-3 fights they get exhausted, especially when using Rapid advance. They have fast stamina regeneration but it is possible that enemy will rotate their heavy infantry and overwhelm even these warriors;
2. Huntresses.
Recruitment from light Greek barracks level 4 (They actually have purpose now).
Stealthy archers that can snipe from a distance of 170 meters and remain hidden. Their range and "Fast reload" ability makes up for their vulnerability in melee fight, however their anti-cav spears let them fight longer before backup arrives.
Strengths
a) Stealth. Obviously. Ideal for ambushes or taking out enemy skirmishers.
b) Rate of fire. With "Fast reload" and 7 shots per minute they can unleash a lot of damage fast.
c) Range. Set to 170 which is, perhaps, the biggest number in the game for infantry unit. This lets you pick you targets from a safe distance and remain hidden.
Weaknesses
a) No armor at all. Technically it is set to leather but in every test I made they died pretty much instantly to a majority of melee units. They can fight the cavalry for a while but that’s it;
b) Armor-pearcing is set to 5 and they only have 16 ammo. Not very effective against armored targets.
c) Their recruitment cost is 900 and the upkeep is 190, which are the highest amongst other archer units.
Both of these unit`s purpose is to enhance Greek experience due to their lack of heavy sword infantry and funny stealth shooters. Warriors of Great Hellas are made on a base of Wolfman`s myrmidons.
As far as I tested these units are stable and no bugs were encountered. If you have any problems with units – let me know.
It would be nice to get some rating on this one if you liked it.
