Description:

This is a port of the original Phoenix Legion mod from WH2. It does what the original did, adding some new units for the Phoenix Guard for the High Elves.

Unit List by Types:

Infantry:

  • Spearmen, Swordsmen, Archers and Shielded Archers, the basic units, can be recruited starting from the tier 3 shrine building or earlier from the Shrine of Asuryan landmark.
  • Phoenix Guard Archers ranged version of the Phoenix Guard, equipped with halberds/bows.
  • Phoenix Champions are an elite capped unit that is present in few numbers. Their cap can be increased by building Sanctuaries of Asuryan or holding certain landmarks.

Cavalry:

  • Phoenix Knights are close to Dragon Princes and come in 2 variants Lances and Swords.

Artillery:

  • Phoenix Bolt Thrower are very effective against massed infantry.

Notes:
  • All the units scale with everything related to Phoenix Guard tech and lord skills, missile units all make use of skills and techs that buff missile damage/ammunition count or reload time, while their other stats will use make of the same trees as Phoenix Guards.
  • These units are only available to the major vanilla High Elves factions, it will not work with smaller ones you might be playing with unlockers.
  • As of now the AI will not recruit these new units, this is intentional but will be changed later.

Screenshoots have been taken back in WH2 and since CA changed their textures method and other graphic stuff they will look different in WH3.

Hope you enjoy this mod as much as i do.

Disclaimers
  1. No taking of any assets in this mod unless you ask for permission, it’s kinda rude to take stuff without asking.
  2. I will not personnally make compability patches with other big overhaul mods, if you want to make your own patch feel free to contact me, i’m easy to reach.
  3. The mod will work 100% of the time in vanilla, crashes when using other mods are not my responsability. I try to make the mod as compattible as possible but something can go wrong, if it crashes try launching the mod on it’s own first and then see what mods you could be using that conflict.
  4. Mod works fine with my other mods from the series.
