Default Re: Black Company Mod

I do want this to be an MP nation. The Taken are slowly sliding into DomII acceptability. I compare them to Wraith Lords, Tartarian Gates dead pretenders, and Tarasques and do not find them that bad. It is part of this nation for them to have small numbers of very powerful units, just as some nations depend on masses and masses of incredibly cheap weak units (e.g. Ermor). I don't mind if it turns out they are the most powerful Heroes in the game, and in the top two tiers of the most powerful units. It is still possible for the mod to be balanced, the way it was designed.

Javelins cost res=1 I believe. This is in line with the cost of Black Infantry. Their armor is worse than militia, they have no shields, they get torn to shreds by missile fire, or even militia up close. They are pretty weak units really, with the one saving grace of two Javelins. I like the idea of scaling their damage back. I will look into a new Version of the Javelin. I see them going into battle with two slender javelins in one hand, and throwing them into the thick of battle. This is a weak unit, with the one saving grace of an oomph at the very beginning of most battles.

What do you guys think of the forvalaka and boomers?
