Description:

In the wood elf 8th edition army book, the glade guard, glade rider and deepwood scouts had access to 6 different enchanted arrows, three of which are currently represented in the base game but not for all three units. This mod extends the starfire, hagbane and swiftshiver enchanted arrows to glade guard, glade rider and deepwood scout for Orion’s and the Sister of Twilight’s factions (as a counterpart to aspects for the tree lords). Furthermore it brings in the three missing arrow types (trueshot, moonfire and arcane bodkins). These have been added in both custom battles and campaigns. For detailed description of the arrow changes see below.

Unlike the previous implementation of these arrows in campaign, each arrow type is not represented by an individual unit and therefore does not need to be recruited separately. Instead only the base unit needs to be recruited, then the respective enchanted arrow upgrade can be purchased similar to the aspect system for dryads or the Greenskins salvage system. Like the aspect system, the ammo type can be changed between battles for a cost.

Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with any mod that doesn’t effect the missiles of the base glade guard, deepwood scouts or glade riders. This mod is save game compatible, but all enchanted arrow units from the base game will be unable to change arrow types as only the original unit has this feature.

Be on the look out for more Wood Elf mods from me coming soon. These will cover aspects I think were missed in the latest update including a Wood Elf missile rebalance, new Regiments of Renown and the lore of Athel Loren.
