Adding more custom units
Recently I've been having a lot of fun with Morgh's editor and Bannerpage armour expansion, resulting in some interesting results such as:
Swadian skirmisher: chance to spawn with a hunting crossbow or hunting bow.
Swadian longbowman: tier 4 unit, quite obvious, has needle bodkin arrows
Swadian scout: tier 3 unit, rouncey horse, spear/sword and shield, quite the same stats as the footman but mounted. Quite a weaker man at arms too.
Nord Raider: tier 4 cavalry with javelins/spear/sword and shield. Highland pony, no athletics
Rhodok veteran spearmen: spawns with a Godenak(cleaver)
Vaegir recruit: chance to spawn with throwing knives
Vaegir footman: chance to spawn with darts
Vaegir veteran: no horse but can spawn with war darts
Vaegir Horse Archer: tier 4 unit, quite similar to the khergit one but slightly less riding and horse archery, can spawn with sovnya/sabre, also has a faster horse than the vaegir horseman
Taiga bandit: chance to spawn on horse
Mountain bandit: chance to spawn with hunting crossbows
Tbh I don't want to expand the troop trees that much, I'm not that of a fan of floris ones. But I think some diversity could be fun, considering these custom units are tier 4 at most and can't be upgraded to tier 5, so it won't be that op in solo campaign. Also I think bandits should be more characteristic of the territory they live in, and vice versa. Like deserters that use their weapon expertise to terrorize villagers.
Some ideas:
Rhodok mauler: tier 4 two handed unit, no shield, higher iron flesh.
Sarranid horse skirmisher: fast rider with twice the amount of javelins + shield
And at last, more throwing weapon units, such a Nord axe thrower with twice the ammo, no shield. And maybe some bannerlord ported units, I heard there are more units like that in there. I'll post the units images later.
