Like the units, however I do not like how this mod effects the Treeman for the wood elves.

The animation does not fit the unit and it looks like throwing javelin instead of a huge rock, you could make a new Tree unit that uses the Cygor boulder tossing animation that the Beastmen faction have

"How could the “wisest and fairest of all beings” be so outgunned by their long time rivals, the dwarfs, and even the lowly humans?" - may be cuz "mighty and wise" just don't think they need these smelly dusted fire-blowing things? Cool engines anyway, shoots loud and deadly

Can you make this availible to wood elves to?

These units are affected by the tech tree for Eagle Bolt Throwers?

THANK YOU! It took me entirely too long to find a mod that gives the Elves a decent artillery. Bolt throwers are a wasted slot...

Well that sounds amazing! Honestly some of the older art for the Elves kicks ass so having a return to that like gleaming legion aesthetic they had sounds great!

@DuskFae: Its being worked on, but everything is in the concept stage for right now, especially since I am taking a little vacation from modding at the moment. I was thinking of taking an Elves reskin in the direction of something more alien, like how they look in the old artwork, and something similar to Kerillian's black eyes in Vermintide.

Kinda curious if you've considered giving the High Elves their own version of a Gothic reskin. You seem to have great ideas for armoring up the Empire and Bretonnia.

@Aerys: I did have plans a long time ago, but I may it bring it back in the near future.

can you make gunner for elves aswell would love to see elves go full industry lmao

So awesome mod

Does this need a submod to work with SFO? I'd loooooooove rock-throwing treemen but I really don't like vanilla all that much.

figures. small price for a ton of fun hehe

@Kamis[Fhtagn]: If you are referring to the 3d portrait clipping the mount and the artillery that's to be expected.

Seems to be working. Units are visible in the gui. the only issue i've found is weird texture overlaping in the unit icon in the left corner.

@Sombidy: Should be fine, let me know if anything is off, been working hard on getting like 5 mods done rn so I have no time to check.

updated for 6.0?

Thanks for the recommendation of that art btw. I currently have more historical references but I do want to make things more fantastical so I may go back and alter some of the reskin for more flare but for right I do have some visual stuff planned.

@Lunion: Hey so I've currently hit a wall for the project that I have decided to work on first before the Renaissance Bretonnia units that I am trying to work on first before I continue with the Bretonnia "rework". Plus I kind of got disinterested with Bretonnia after working on it for so long that I am working on some unrelated projects until I can get back in the creative mood for it. The reskin however for Bretonnia is complete but I am planning to make some revisions to a couple of the units and finish my other mods for that "wave" so I can drop them all at the same time. I'm also still figuring out how big the scale of the Ren Bretonnia units mod to be, for right now I only have 10 or so units planned but I don't want to overload the mod with redundancies like most other mods.

Hey! Just wanted to check in on how your project’s going. By the way, I was scrolling recently and stumbled upon some concept art by Wolfknight SONACIA that I think you'd really like for Bretonnia. The designs for the military gear are a unique mix of medieval and modern, it’s a bit of a wild combo. The cannon has a little castle on top, and the reloading box is painted to look like a Saint reliquary. It totally captures the vibe you’re going for with a more modern Bretonnia that’s trying to incorporate gunpowder without losing its core principles.

Thx for responding, love on you and Bonne Chance !!!

@Lunion: Hey, so while adding Napoloeonic units exactly would be awesome that is both out of my skill bracket and a little too futuristic for the units I have planned. I basically am intending to add enough units to Bretonnia to put them on the same technological level as the Empire (so early renaissance/ late medieval) and also a reskin to coincide with the advancement in tech. However, I am definitely using historical sources for inspiration so don't exactly expect La Garde or Mousquetaries but instead early renaissance stylized versions that would be regiments of renown. I'm still in the planning stages for my Bretonnia reworks (if you can call them that) because I have a few other mods coming down the pipeline but I hope this answers your question.

Hey, i recently readed that you plan an Modern Bretonnia rework; Any hope to have some Napoleonic famous « La Garde » of him or an « Mousquetaires » like unit; Great work btw !!!

oh. I understand.

@Nameless: Sorry but I don't make mods that I don't personally use. Any modder that would like to make such a mod has permission as long as they credit me and the mod but as of now I have no plans for that.

Are you interested in 2x or 3x mode?

Would be cool to see elf gunpowder units tho
Anyway, thanks for such mod! Myself trying get into modding, and I also thought of making guns for elfs

@UltraStrategyMan: Hey so a few months ago I was planning to make special variants of the artillery with "magical" projectiles but I scrapped it because I wasn't really happy with the results for the Dark Elves. Though the new Amethyst stuff from ToD has made a lot of resources for Dhar-styled magic available so I'll give it another shot. I am ending work on Elven Artillery but I am still considering making a compilation mod of these artillery pieces and Elven gunpowder units whenever I find the time to make them, then I think I'll finally add the special pieces. However, that stuff is for the far future as I don't have time in abundance right now, especially including my already work in progress mods.

Thanks for Treemen/Cygor attack for WE as artillery! Do you have plans for Dhar/
Qhaysh artillery inspired by amethyst units?

Has anyone made an SFO submod yet?

Pegasus bombing units would be amazing

Oh sweet! I'll be looking forward to that mod too! Elven marines storming the beaches of Mousillon with their muskets backed up by rockets and cannon fire

@HyphenTorpedo: Yeah gunpowder weapons are still on the table, I've just gotten busy over the course of the last few months. I may make a separate mod in the coming weeks when I have some more free time. Hope this mod works well!

This looks really cool! After playing a fair bit of the high elves in WH2, I eventually felt the lack of them not having decent siege weapons. When I start up my next High Elf playthrough on WH3 I'll be looking forward to giving this a go!

Plus I love the idea of elves using gunpowder weapons. I've always thought that elves and gunpowder would be a lethal mix for anyone fighting them.

Yea I just tested it unmodded and the sound is missing occasionally. How annoying. Hope they fix it "eventually"
I think little grom is also affected sometimes. Thank you for the quick response tho. These pieces will make my Imrik campaign a lot more fun

@Serious Lee: Yeah completely forgot about Martial and Muderous Prowess, they aren't really important since it is only for the artillery crew but I'll add it in the next update. As for the Helstorm "version", both the modded pieces have sounds, its just a bug on CA's part that affects the Cathayan Fire Rain Rocket Battery. But if your're talking about the normal Helstorm battery, the sounds work fine on my end.

Hey loving the idea of this mod.
The HE versions are lacking the Martial Prowess ability. And for some reason the hellstorm version is missing a firing sound but maybe thats a mod conflict on my end

@The Sirly Hunter appreciate the response. Understandable if you don't decide to do it due to the lack of ingame incentive for them.

As you said you'll look into it however i'll throw out some ideas; balance maybe make them weaker than dwarven and empire gunners so they still excel in blackpowder weaponry and that other elven ranged units are still viable, or if that doesn't feel right it could simply be a 'for fun' mod.

Although I can't speak much model wise as that undoubtedly takes time and effort, maybe you could use the same model used for those who man the artillery.

@CovenantKillerJ: Hey glad you like the mod, so that idea has came to my mind before and besides the effort I would have to go through to make an Elven gunner model and accompanying weapons so that it would map to either the Empire or Cathayan weapon animations, it is certainly possible. However, pretty much all of the Elves already have a ton of ranged units, I really made this mod just to get the Elves better artillery that they desperately needed and at this time I don't really find it necessary to give them firearms. Though I will look into it and see if it looks/ feels right. Such units would be on an entirely different and new mod regardless.

Really like this. Do you think elven musket and pistol units are possible?

great mod, unit cards would be amazing, the models are insane , thank you again

Thank you! Great Mod!

thank you my saviour

good!

"Brutal elves" is a gimmick that intrigues me. Warhammer already has a bit of this, you generally don't get elves with giant axes and lion heads on them in other fantasy settings, and it makes them a lot more metal. So I guess elves with gunpowder could also be pretty fun as well.

@online.mailbox25: Hey really appreciate you reporting that, I had the same issue and I chalked it up to a random bug. I fixed the descriptions for all of the other units but the modded artillery for now just have "placeholder" as their descriptions. I'll figure out how to give them real descriptions without breaking everything. Thanks again!

I would like to use this mod, thanks for making it but I found a problem after installing this mod that the toggle unit details for the descriptions of the units no longer works! Would love a fix on this as I do like bombarding at the enemy from afar and love to play the high elves!

Um, they dont need it. They have magic. Gunpoweder weapons are ungainly and smelly, and unfit for the glorious Asur!

Oh brilliant!! I thought that this was just High Elves but that Dark Elf one 3rd pic for the end looks superb!

I will admit its kinda strange. In case you were wondering Elves dont have gunpowder weapons because their magic is much more powerful. Total War doesnt really portray how powerful their magic can really be. Props to you tho for doing what you want
