Dwarf Bonus vs Large
Updated for Silence and Fury!
This mod adds a small Bonus vs. Large to all Dwarf infantry who wield Great Weapons (two handed armour-piercing weapons). Specially it gives a +6 bonus to Miners, a +8 bonus to Dwarf Warriors, Longbeards, Quarrellers and Rangers, and a +10 bonus to Hammerers. This bonus also applies to the Regiment of Renown variants of those units.
It ALSO adds Charge Defence vs. Large to Hammerers and their RoR. It always annoyed me that Longbeards with Great Weapons had this attribute but their direct upgrade did not.
Silence and Fury: I also added splash attacks to the Hammerers RoR for consistency with the base version.
Bonus vs. Large works by increasing a unit’s attack (hit chance) and damage against Large entities. Large entities are usually cavalry and monsters. But to check for sure you can mouse over the stick figure-like icon next to the entity number on the top-left portion of a unit’s unit card, right under the HP bar.
It is my hope that this mod will make it easier for Dwarf players to deal with enemy cavalry, and that it will also make two-handed infantry a bit more attractive when you are building your armies. Hopefully it will also make you slightly more careful when using cavalry against enemy Dwarf armies, making things a little more interesting. 🙂
