Generic Hand of the Shadow Crown
This mod creates a generic version of the Hand of the Shadow Crown hero spawned by Alith Anar’s special rite. This hero is fully functional on the campaign map, and in battle, and uses official unique voice acting. On the campaign map, this hero can; scout while embedded in an army, spread public order in his local province, assault settlement garrisons, assassinate enemy agents, and assault units in enemy armies. In battle, the Hand of the Shadow Crown is competent in melee, but specializes in ambushing from range, using powerful archery, and can unlock the Snipe ability for himself and fellow shadow warriors in his army. Hands of the Shadow Crown do not have access to mounts.
They are recruitable at T3 White Lion/Sisters building (with additional capacity added at T4), and Alith Anar’s special T2 shadow warrior building. They are improved by the Court Advisors Technology.
