Give it a shot

Do you know if this would work with the Motherland, if you have the time?

These look really good!

any chance you could make the akshina in your kislev overhau look like this?

SFO blood 50%，can you update？

Can you make a cosmetic mod for this where the stats for the ambushers are the same but we get to use this cool new look? That'd be awesome! :D

Hi Dead, do you plan to add this two units too your Kislev overhaul ?(the ror Akshina for exemple)

Thank for your work!

Hey Dead, any chance you'd consider making an Akshina-based hero for Stank's faction?

Thanks for the quick reply

yea, it doesnt edit anything that would cause issue

Can I add this in the middle of a playthrough?

works fine for me, you have a conflict

Love your mods dead, much appreciated!

i can look into it

currently it isn't working but I didn't know if that was because of motherland or the reason the previous posters had

probabaly? never tried

Is it possible to use this alongside the motherland mod?

Is it working for anyone after 4.2? Seems to be broken for me at the moment, the models are back to the original.

I'd be interested in some kind of reskin for the Druzhina to make him look a bit more like this when the SoC update comes. Let's hope he has or can be modded to have a stealth skill so he can function as a proper go-to lord for Ostankya's armies, including letting him function along with the Akshina.

But how would they fight the kislevite bear mafia without disguise now?

Exactly what this unit should have been, so much better than the vanilla version, thanks so much

Any chance we can get get this mod as just a reskin? They seem a lot more balanced now but i still hate their skins currently

Thankully they got changed by CA now but I still prefer the way they look in your mod (why the scope indeed.... just why)

for reference what they're supposed to be is a Kislevite order of assassins - the Akshina are mentioned a few times as part of events and abilities that contribute to public order or remove dissidents from Kislev in game. Not that this makes the Ambushers make a lot more sense.

@Wikist Perhaps it has been overwritten by other mods. In my case, I manually renamed this mod file's "db" directory components(not folders, each file) name to get higher priority to solve it, by using RPFM.

In my game their stats did not change. Don't know why.

Im genuinely shocked CA still is either waiting to 4.1/5.0 or literally doesn't see an issue in the AP missile dmg of akshinas normally...wish I could roll back to 3.1 when they didn't exist yet and still use my other mods, but this mod instead is a very much appreciated alternative to doing that. thanks again as always deadbaron

Thank you! God this unit was so silly and now at least it looks cool. Would it be possible to also get a gun version because I like that idea a lot.

excellent work though the revelation they were supposed to be a hero unit is... upsetting

Doing the Lord's Work Dead! Appreciated,

they fit the role of a hybrid unit still, they just arent as op as before. and no i have no plans

Honestly I'll admit, I think these are way better than the base game versions, but with how Shadows of Change feels in general, that's not surprising.

Don't suppose you have any plans of expanding on this idea to create some more Akshina variants, like a frontline or cav?

Thank you! I once lost a 20 stack level 7 Chaos FOrtress against AI because it had 19 akshina ambushers which were beating my chaos warriors in melee?? WTF

Love it ! It is very thematic but also balanced. Can't ask for more than this really

This is a pretty neat change! Looking forward to giving it a try. =D

This will make the Mother Ostankya campaign on IE a little more difficult. But original Akshina Ambushers is too bad in so many ways. Thanks, Dead!

not to mention it makes no sense that their crossbows did more damage than the GUNS of the streltsi.

I understand this won't be for everyone. If you don't like it then don't use it, no one is forcing you to. I just wanted to provide a personal rework that is better balanced. I hate basegame akshina. They have splash damage melee attacks like a hero because they WERE a hero and at the last minute changed. They used to have a rifle as referenced by the anim name too.

excellent mod! I hate scopes!

Thank you.

Marvelous. So much more in tune with the setting visually, and so much better-balanced.

Respectfully disagree with the commenters who wanted this as an additional unit. This is a fix, not a unit pack. Leaving the RoR as it is was a perfect compromise; the madness of those unit stats and animal hoods is much less of a problem to lore and balance when it's just a single unusual group.

Im glad people like you are correcting some of the weird design choices of this dlc

Cool idea :)! I've been enjoying my OP Kislev Bear-Shades (cough I mean Akshina Ambushers) but I'm very excited to build a more bow-centric Kislev army

Very nice

My Ashkina's still have crossbows, but the unit card shows bow and arrow. At least he unit itself doesnt have the stupid bear hat, so thanks for that.

So, you pretty much just took DLC unit and gave reskinned generic archer instead. Could've just added it as a new unit.

Amazing! but would be cool to have a choice of this unit as an additional unit in the roster rather than a full-on replacement.
