Legions of Nehekhara
Update 1.1 – Removed dependency for Steel Faith Overhaul
If you’re anything like me, you have a fond love for the Tomb Kings and their well-crafted armies. However, I was a little disheartened by the fact that we have to basically scrap our amazing skeletal armies for smaller, more elite forces of single or tiny unit number constructs. There are several mods out there that do various tweaks to the Tomb Kings, but nothing really sat well with me, so off to PFM I went.
UNIT CHANGES:
This is my take on a skeletal army focus for the Tomb Kings. No new units have been added in order to maintain balance with other mods, but ALL skeletal-type units (from lowly warriors to the mighty Tomb Guards; exlcuding horse mounted melee/ranged) have received around a 10-15% buff in their stats where needed. Unit sizes have also been increased to reflect the mighty legions that the Tomb Kings once commanded in life.
Chariots also see some love here and have been massively buffed. These engines of war are supposed to be a classic part of any Tomb King army, but they were woefully lacking. Among major changes are a major increase for charge bonus, melee attack and defence, and unit size is double what it was.
I tried to maintain a decent balance while still giving Tomb Kings undead armies the attention I felt they really needed. They do not feel OP, but those poor skeleton warriors won’t melt at the sight of a goblin spearmen now.
LANDMARK CHANGES:
I also gave a significant buff to the landmark pyramids that can be built. Each one has been given an overhaul to better fit with the lore of the pharaoh that built it and all of them have a small, but elite garrison now. I feel the high cost of these buildings is now justified with some nice bonuses for your faction and armies, but nothing that is going to break the game.
**NOTE: Right now, some of the default bonuses are showing up as well, like +200 exp gain for armies in the province from Settra’s Pyramid. I am trying to figure out how to make that not happen.**
