Empire Armoured Archers
This mod adds 4 new archer units for the Empire, respectively:
-Militia Archers
-Regular Archers
-Veteran Archers
-Altdorf’s Archers Regiment
They are all available through the Barracks building chain, note that you’ll also require a Tier 2 smith for Veteran Archers and the Altdorf Imperial Palace for the Altdorf’s Archers Regiment.
I mainly did make this mod cause I wanted more archer types for the Empire and also ranged units that would feel visually and statwise a little different from the archers under Wulfhart’s command.
Notice that while melee combat with these units Is possible, you should avoid It and use It only when necessary.
These units (like many other ranged units) perform poorly in melee, and while Veteran Archers and Altdorf Archers are somewhat decent in that regard you should still avoid It at all costs.
Ok, presentation over: let’s dive into the technical stuff!
*BALANCE*
As always: I tried my best to not make them too broken.
Keep in mind that I have tested them in custom battles only though.
That means that I’m not taking into account Lord’s Campaign Bonuses.
If you have suggestions for possible buffs or nerfs let me know down in the comment section!
I’m open to changes!
NOTICE: The unit’s stat screenshot was taken with the unit size setting set to large, so expect more HP and unit’s models if you are playing on Ultra.
*COMPATIBILITY*
As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess too much with vanilla units.
I’m playing the game with 100+ different mods and everything is working fine!
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want these Armoured Archers in your campaign you’ll have to start a new one.
*KNOWN ISSUES*
-None, for now.
*UPDATES POLICY*
Let me be straight with you…when the mod status change from updated to outdated….if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff….know that https://media.giphy.com/media/e3URFlLQywEPC/giphy.gif
…But jokes aside: please don’t do that.
When it becomes necessary, and when I can, I will update my stuff, do not worry.
*QA*

Thanks to Reg https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198310084628 for making the official SFO submod of this mod.
Any of this would not have been possible without Frodo45127’s RPFM which is still updated to this very day, thank you!
I would also like to thank Sebidee and Caligula for their great modding guides!
And I would like to thank you!
Whatever you liked my mod or not thanks a bunch for giving it a try!
Let’s be brutally honest now: there are countless modders that are WAY more talented than me and that would deserve your money more than me.
That said, If you have grown to like my works so much to the point that you want to express your appreciation or just put a smile on my face…well: I will not stop you 😉 .
You have my gratitude for all the support you can throw at me, independently by the donation’s sum: you are all equals to me and I do thank you all.
From my part I can assure you that your donations will not be wasted, in fact I would mainly use them to:
-complete the Total War Warhammer DLC collection and thus expand my modding possibilities
-speed up my Warhammer 3 preorder
-PC related things
