Description:

This mod adds Pegasus mounted versions of the three Empire missile cav units to the Empire roster. These units are balanced to be overall marginally better than their vanilla counterparts. The units are 1/3 the unit count of their vanilla versions, with twice the proportional damage per bullet and 50% more ammunition which should even out overall damage capacity with the Pegasus units having the obvious advantage of being airborne. The Grenade launcher variant gets a 50% wider blast radius than vanilla grenades. All have a +10 range over vanilla as having an airborne position would logically extend their reach.

They are recruitable from the Stables building tree: Both Pegasus Outriders from tier 5 Stables and Pegasus Pistoliers from tier 4 Stables. Some of the animations have minor bugs to work out still, but otherwise everything works. Units will benefit from all tech and skills for outriders/pistoliers as well as Demigryphs (as monstrous cavalry). Support for Empire Master Engineer’s skill buffs is built in. The units have a passive that provides 15% magic and fire resist as long as a leader is alive and morale is not wavering. As a unit mod, this is save game compatible.

There are some minor animation bugs to still resolve. I may also develop Regiments of Renown versions of these guys. Anyone who wants to adapt this animation set is welcome to do so, I would just appreciate credit!

Big thanks to H3ro for his animation tool that has revolutionized the kinds of units possible in TWW2. Thanks also due to ChaosRobie, Cataph, Vandy and all the people in the Modding Den for answering questions. Thanks to Reaverbad for his new pistol models and LTApollo for the assets from his older reskins.
