Mounted Shugengans have Glaives
Inspired by the recent reveal of the Cathay models for Warhammer The Old World, this mod equips Shugengan Lords with a Glaive when mounted on either a horse or longma.
This includes a small stat change to reflect the change in weapon without making the Shugengan too strong in melee. The old vs new stats are:
– On horse: 280 Base / 120 AP -> 220 Base / 180 AP / 10 Bonus vs Large
– On longma: 310 Base / 130 AP -> 240 Base / 200 AP / 10 Bonus vs Large
This mod does not change the Shugengan on foot who remains unarmed – partly this is because the new mounted animations I’ve used come from the Celestial General and his foot animations don’t transfer so well to a Glaive – partly this is because the Shugengan’s existing animations on foot are amazing and really unique – and partly because most people will put a Shugengan on a mount anyway once they unlock one. Think of it as a choice of how you want your Shugengan to be equipped.
One small issue to note is that because the Celestial General has no casting animation, I’ve had to use the Shugengan’s casting animation, this causes no issue other than the Glaive disappearing for a few seconds when casting and then reappearing out of nowhere.
Credit to Storeslem for his Cathay Reskin mod and importing Glaive models across from three kingdoms which I’ve used to create the Glaives for this mod.
COMPATABILITY: This mod probably won’t be compatible with anything that changes the stats of Shugengan Lords as it edits Land Units tables to change the animations. It should be compatible with mods which reskin Shugengans but would require a patch to be compatible with added variants.
