i think they should be mixed. i think the idea they are going for with them currently is having them be mixed, and if you implement armed to da teef then that isnt as much of a gimmick, so you could maybe change them somewhat? dunno.

Should the Krimson Killaz also be a mixed unit in v2? What do you think?

so after testing a bit with how CA implemented their new Black Orcs, I will have to make a new mod. I can't update this one anymore. I almost finished v2 and it will be uploaded the next days.

cool news!

@diggingdwarf26 tbh, i don't like the CA implementation either. gonna update this the next days but to make it work I have to combine both new BO units and get rid of the ridiculous abilities from vanilla (just like the Skullreapers)

i would love to see this updated! ca sort of tried to implement this kind of thing in the last update but it was frankly pathetic. of course only update it when you feel up to it and have time for it

Thank you for making such a great mod. I'm waiting for you to come back with an update someday.

will there ever be other units that can have this done?

@[PuB] Axlegolas I can confirm that the entity miscount is not purely graphical, I had two almost destroyed units heal to full health and entity count as soon as I entered a battle, which then persisted onto the campaign map. This was with the graphical only version as well.

5.0 plz

update 5.0?

Worth noting is that Black Orcs with Great Weapons could NOT switch to other equipment in TT.

Was gonna try this but 0 response to Ralin pointing out a bug nah ill pass

Hi, this is a classy idea and good implementation.

However, I found a bug: the number of units on the squad icon during the battle behaves completely erratically - sometimes with almost killed unit it shows 80 orcs, and sometimes with half wounded (visually about 40-50 models) it shows 10-15.

Try to fix it?

updated for 4.0

@ROIT @less1630 i found the bug. It seems that the game itself causes the visual bug when using several champions in a regiment. i don't think i can do anything about that. But since entities do die, it shouldn't have an impact in battle.

I also encountered the same problem. On the premise of not using any mods, there was a problem with the number of black orcs.

no , I didnt use WezSpeshul or Expanded Roste MOD , nvm , I will think of other ways.
thank you

Thumbs up, yes.

@less1630 i can't reproduce the bug. it doesn't seem it's from my mod. this mod changes the original Black Orc unit. There are no other Black Orc variant units with this mod. Are you using other mods like WezSpeshul or Expanded Roster?

Please support the modders and give their mods a Thumbs Up. I'm always wondering why so many people subscribe but don't rate.

Please help us modders to promote our mods

just in the battle map, I see the unit status in left , it show 2 new form Black Orcs number is 0 when I see them still have 20+ unit in the map .
and the unit card in the beneath also show 0 when them still live. I dont know this is Bug from this mod or not , but I see the original Black Orcs unit is normal .

" but I see those 2 new form Black Orcs number is very strange."

@less1630 I'm sorry but i don't understand. sure the black orcs have 20+ models in a unit. what status "0" do you mean? to which "number" are you relating to?

very nice , but i have to say when I test this mod , use 3 form of Black Orcs to fight with whitelion , success but I see those 2 new form Black Orcs number is very strange...
those 2 new form Black Orcs number still have 20+ unit , but the status show 0 , seem like some Display error . dont know why .

Thank you

The mention of teef, rather than toof, suggests that the orcs have an admirable dental plan.

Great mod.

This is actually really cool, and clever. Kudos!

@Waimanian enjoy.....eh i mean WAAAAAGH

oh ok, time for a Grimgor campaign i think

@Waimanian the weapons they carry are only visually. they have a shield now by default and you can change the weapons by ability.

Would it be possible to give them a small missile block chance or maybe a little bit of missile resistance since some of them have shields

@Altey no, this is just the AI behaviour, so it knows how to use the abilities.

oh alright, i thought they activated by charing/being in combat looking at description

@Altey this mod is actually doing it, but just not visually. if you activate the abilities, your stats will switch to the weapon set. From shielded to either great weapon or dual weapons.

the abilities are toggable like the abilities of the wardancers, only 1 stance at a time

can you make a version with toggleable weapon changes?
