Im trying to make a similar mod to yours, but for Flame Cannons. So far Im having a lot of headaches and weird bugs where the flames shoot up towards the sky. Do you think you could help?

Sure, happy for people to take the mod and tweak it with credit

@Rumpl4 it still work，thanks for your work,I have translated a CN version,can i upload it with your mod address?

can it work right？ thanks a lot

nope, no plans

@RumpI4: Don't want to insist dude but are you planning on making an SFO variant? Thx in advance.

yeap, they are for the dawi and empire

So uhhh... Unsure if this is Intentional or not but In my campaign where I was testing these units, I spotted gelt with them as well. Is he supposed to be able to recruit them or is this a bug?

Is there an SFO variant?

The tech that allows gyrocopters to fire and move bugs this unit. When you fire while moving with this unit the fire shoots in odd directions and freezes in time for the whole battle

UPTATE PLEASE

Now we just need a submod to play Fortunate Son whenever they are on the battlefield.

Absolute FIRE !! nice just tried a custom battle with basically all fire units on some poor norsca and had 3 copters ..cleansed them with fire ! mod is awesome

Thank you Rumpl4!

AI can recruit as well

Does the AI get to recruit these units or is it a player only mod?

Some people say it's a 10% increase on vanilla stats but I'm not sure how correct that is.

Correct, it doesn't have the SFO stats etc.

So this mod works with SFO but just not balanced right?

UPTATE PLEASE I CANT LIVE WITHOUT THIS

Any chance of making a all in one compilation pack?

ah nice. Will try it when I get home ty :))

They are more expensive, significantly more fragile and have less ammo and damage than irondrakes, they gain in ability and will probably replace irondrakes in end game armies

Do they make irondrakes useless or for having less ammo/damage the infantry one still have it use? Ty amazing gyro mods btw :)

possibly, i don't play SFO so i don't think it will be any time soon though

@Rumpl4 Any possibility of SFO compatibility patch of your gyrocopter mods in the future, i would love to use your "inventions" but sadly they aren't very well balanced for battles.

Nice, I like these gyro variations.

Update: added Siege Attacker so you can launch sieges instantly

yeap

does it work with sfo?

ha I wouldn't say I have skill at all, i'm new to modding, but i think the mechanic plays really well with the concept of rebuilding the underway

Awesome man! It was a HUGE missed opportunity imo that CA didn't make them masters of the underways. Ive been talking about that for a long time and I'm sooo glad someone with skill is actually fixing this grudge.

calibrated. funny you should say that, I'm working on an underway mod at the moment which lifts the base mechanic of the geomantic web

Yeah I will, I've just loaded it onto my campaign so will see how it runs soon :)

There is so much dwarf air power in the lore I really hope they revisit this race and give them a bit more love. They could do so much with a kind of blend of underway and geomantic web and so on.

lol thanks, i didn't even know there were other flame gyros on the workshop, I'll need to go look, I'm always tweaking and balancing my mods, i still need to change the bombs on this unit. but have a play around with the mod and give me your feedback

And your profile picture is fucking terrifying! xD

I just hate Doomstacks! Much prefer proper set out armies. Right, this sounds like the other flame copters on the workshop then. I'll have to give this one a good play round with!

it's a short range gyro, effective against massive blobs, I built 3 gyros for specific functions, this one helps the Dawi against large tarpits, so when coming up against 7k+ skaven or undead this thing will shine, but against a dino heavy LM army or mammoth norscan army you'll want the rotary cannon gyro, I hate "1 size fits all doomstacks"

How is this performing in battle? Is it basically a fire gyrocopter like the other mods or is it different somehow?

I've had a few people ask about SFO submods for my other gyros and whilst my units work they aren't balanced for it

Only if you want man. I think you did a great job with this.

I'll take a look, the only landed animation I can find is the melee attack mode, leave with me and I'll look at SFO when I get a chance

For an SFO version I think it would be awesome if the flame shot was an ability button and It did small amounts of damage to the copter every time you used it. Its pretty much so powerful and hot that it damages the machine the more you use it. Even more cool would be a land and repair ability where you press it and the copter goes to ground. And as its on the ground it slowly repairs but obviously it could be decimated if the enemy attacked it on the ground..

cant w8 for an SFO submod. Great work on this mod.

I've been told it does but I suspect balance will be off

Hi Great Mod! does it work with SFO?

I love the smell of dragon fire in the moring

Fortunate Son intensifies

After the update these are much more balance. Because of the lower range you it's a bit harder to get shots off and the reduced damage means they cant burn entire armies of black orcs before running out of ammo. They're useful gyros that actually impact the game without breaking it and are fun to use!
