Daughters of Despair – Dark Elf RoR
The Daughters of Despair
"The masked Death Hags known as the Daughters of Despair form the ruling council of Har Ganeth. Legend tells that whilst Hellebron’s beauty is bought with the lifeblood of her victims, the Daughters of Despair are not so afflicted; they wear masks not to hide their ugliness from the world, but rather to conceal their own youthful appearance from a jealous and wrathful mistress."

Details:
So this is my first (published) RoR, they are a glass cannon unit similar to witch elves and wardancers but on steroids. They are capable of slaughtering nearly any infantry unit in melee, however they in turn will be slaughtered if not handled carefully, their low hit points and armor makes them a perfect target for enemy archers and magic, for best results hold them back until the battle lines are engaged and then tear into a flank and watch them go to town.
If you have any comments about balance feel free to share them, it’s difficult testing balance and their stats are by no means locked in stone.
To Do:
Better Unit Card
Fine tuning on balance
I fully intend to make more Dark Elf (and maybe High Elf?) RoR in the future.
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with just about anything due to not editing startpos, this does mean however that they are recruited like a regular unit, just as a one of only and with the RoR indicator.
Credits to:
Decomposed and Whysofurious for their mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1187359646&searchtext=wood+elves which both inspired me and indirectly helped me by allowing me to look at their tables to see how various things were done. Also for the use of one of their special ability icons (for now, intend to replace it).
Black Rabbit for his absolutely amazing Unique Elven Lords mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1187319977&searchtext=unique from which I used some meshes because he is kind enough to give permissions.
And Cataph and others on the modding discord for answering a number of my questions during the process.
Thanks, and don’t forget to rate and favorite if you enjoy!
