Daughters of Mars Redux for Empire Divided (Unhistorical)
Adding a few female units into Empire Divided. This is more of a fun mod with much creative license taken, so unfortunately it’s not intended to be historically realistic.
This is my first mod. Balance may not be optimal, so feedback on what I should change are most welcome. I have tested the new units again vanila units, vice versa, and each other, and it seems fine for their intended purposes.
New Units:
Marcomanni, Gothi and background Germanic
-Shieldmaidens: Second tier sword infantry, somewhat equivalent to Armoured Germanic Swords, but with a focus on defense over attack. Recruit from second tier warrior lodge (Meeting Grounds) and above.
-Shieldmaiden Guard: Third tier missile/spear infantry. Functions like Lothern Sea Guard from TWWH2, they are superb archers, and good spear infantry. A missile unit that can hold their own in melee against cavalry well. Recruit from fourth tier warrior lodge (Hall of Champions)
Saxoni
-Valkyries: Final tier shock cavalry. Recruit from 4th and final level temple of Wodanaz (which happens to be the same god as Odin).
Rome
-Frumentarii: Stealthed flanking infantry. Strong attack and charge bonus. Not good for frontal or prolonged fight, good for flanking and rear attacks. Recruit from Frumentarii (administration building) and above.
Gallic Rome
-Gallic Shieldmaiden Frumentarii: Stealthed flanking infantry, but with shield and stronger defence, weaker attack compared to Roman counterpart. Can hold a bit longer at cost of less killing power. Recruit from third tier barracks.
Palmyra
– Eastern Frumentarii: Stealthed archers with high accuracy but low ammunition. Good for flanking from rear, with ability to attack from afar at cost of slower kill rate. Weak in melee. Recruit from third tier barracks.
Removed Gothic Spearwomen and Marcomanni Noblewomen Archers as their functions are fulfilled by new units.
