WO – Order of the Bloody Rose

Hey, i’m back. After a long break from modding i’m back, this time with a "rework" i’ve wanted to do for a long time of one of my older mods. The mod in question is LoW – Blood Legion

But why?
Cause there are somethings i didn’t like in the mod, like being 3 unit mods in one and some other stuff that could use changes. So i’ve decided to split it into 3 separate mods, this here is the piece with the Sisters of the Bloody Rose.

First this is still a WIP mod that adds some new units and heroes to the Vampire Counts, so things could change since the mod isn’t finished but i released it in a playable state to get some feedback while i finish it.
Does this work with the original?
No i wouldn’t do that, too much overlap and probable crashes.
Now to the mod’s contents! What will this add?

The Vampire Captain is a new type of hero that will be recruitable from their own chain in your campaign.
Unlike the other vampire heroes they are focused on melee combat and buffing your units, throught some very usefull aura skills.
Possible mounts include Barded Nightmares, Cold Ones, Hellsteeds and Zombie Dragons.
P.S. For some reason upkeep reduction from the Lahmian Bloodline don’t apply to them, other buffs seem to work fine.

The mod features two kind of units, the Sisters of the Bloody Rose and Conscripts.

• Sister of the Bloody Rose
  • The Infantry units of the Order are heavily armoured elite units. The 3 options have different roles, Warriors are the melee damage dealers, Guardians are good at holding their ground and while Sentinels can take down enemies from the safety of the backlines with arrow fire and put up a decent fight in melee once out of ammo.
  • The Cavalry is made up of heavily armoured Knights of the Bloody Rose and Cold Knights(the latter aren’t available in campaign currently). Ascended as vampires they have the frenzy ability and cause their enemies fear.
• Conscripts
  • Conscripts are human troops that act as auxiliary forces to fill roles for the Order. Decently equipped they are as good as any Empire army, althought they are expendable compared to the Sisters of the Order. Right now there are 3 options to choose from Swordsmen, Halberdiers and Archers.

Featuring 4 new building chains, the mod gives you the option to build 2 new defense building and 2 buildings for recruitment.
The defense buildings can be build in major and minor settlements and provide a garrison with the units from the mod should you want to have them as garrison.
The Conscript Barracks allow recruitment of the auxiliary troops and the Bloody Rose Headquarters chain allows you to recruit Vampire Captains and the elite units.

Units will not be recruitable by the AI for now and are available for the Vampire Counts Factions.

Units don’t scale with any lord skills or tech from vanilla but instead have their own upgrade tree with it’s own tech.
The tech tree provides the basic stat upgrades but also give units new attributes and traits that can change the way they play in battles in an effort to make tech trees and unit upgrades more interesting to chose from.

No, sorry don’t use the mod so can’t balance around it.

Like the mod? Remember to rate it so other people can see and enjoy it aswell or check my other mods here:

1. Mod isn’t finished at 100% so throw suggestion in the comments or discussion thread.
2. No taking of any assets in this mod unless you ask for permission, it’s kinda rude to take stuff without asking.
3. I will not personnally make compability patches with other big overhaul mods, if you want to make your own patch feel free to contact me, i’m easy to reach.
4. Translation mods are welcome just link and have the original mod as a requirement.
5. The mod will work 100% of the time in vanilla, crashes when using other mods are not my responsability. I try to make the mod as compattible as possible but something can go wrong, if it crashes try launching the mod on it’s own first and then see what mods you could be using that conflict.
6. Mod isn’t compattible with LoW – Blood Legion
