Count Eldred: Elector Count of Solland
Yes, I know he’s been dead for ~800 years, or more. There’s a lot of references to him in the game, though.
"In the centuries preceding the invasion, Solland had begun to fall on increasingly difficult times. Located in the heart of the Electoral and Sigmarite lands, Solland’s Counts pursued policies that continually put the province at odds with the Emperor, and more importantly, the Grand Theogonist, most notably in attempting to arrange a marriage between the royal line of Solland and the Grafs of Middenheim. The Sigmarite faith had a great deal of strength in Solland but it was the opinion of province’s Electors that the message of Sigmar was one of unity and not the sectarian strife which dominated Imperial politics. When the hammer blow of the Ironclaw fell on Averland, Eldred von Heugenloewd, Count of Solland, was quick to marshal his forces despite his marginalized position at the Imperial court."
This mod adds a lot of new features to the Golden Order (Balthasar’s) faction, with this mod’s main attraction: Count Eldred von Heugonloewd, the Elector Count of Solland.
- New Legendary Lord: Count Eldred von Heugonloewd, with his own custom skill tree revolving around archery and defense
- 1 new RoR: The Knights of Solland Eternal
- 2 new units: Archers (Longbows) and Pfeildorf Noble Archers
- 1 new building chain : Archery Range
- Available only in Solland
- A little bit of lore about Eldred in his skill tree 😀
- Balanced for vanilla
- My design for this mod was to emphasize Solland’s strengths as archery and defense, with Eldred’s skill tree and the custom building making this happen.
- The new units are equipped with longbows, though they are only recruitable in Solland itself.
- Essentially, Solland now produces better archers than the rest of the empire, you can only recruit and field them in Solland though, to make the eldred and the province a bit more unique.
- New RoR basically acts as a bodyguard, got a a thing for making knightly orders now lmao.
- I want to implement new stuff for Eldred such as custom start and missions, but need to study up on that first.
- I didn’t deviate too much from lore, though Eldred is the only lore-friendly character in this mod.
- h3ro – His amazing Asset Editor is what made this mod possible. Big thanks to him for all the possibilities!
You can use it without the Unlocker, but you can only find the units in Pfeildorf.
