Black Company Mod

[Bowlingballhead]

Ack! A Black Company-inspired mod WITHOUT Soulcatcher? A travesty! An absolute, utter, complete travesty.

She's a hero with lots of astral magic, and probably death thrown in there, too. Give her the Abboleth's 'enslave soul' attack. To make her faithful to the book you'd have to throw in regen and immortal, but you're starting to talk about something really ridiculously nasty now. At least there's no reason to give her physical stats above those of a common soldier.

Of course, when you try to make a cult-favorite like Black Company, somebody's bound to disagree with your interpretation. No help for it.

As you get the Heroes for free, won´t this Mod be vastly over-powerful?

Maybe force Luck -1 to ensure that hero units arrive slowly...and that bad things happen (or the Rebel).

Any mod that tries to be faithful to the heroes (and Villains, if you can tell the difference) of the Black Company will be vastly powerful per definition.

Just need to add the Dominator as a pretender with a standard attack of, hmm. Master Enslave to be thematic (and possibly the corresponding Astral Magic to survive the fatigue ), and it should be done.

Nah, that is one good reason for leaving the Dominator out of the pretender selection.

Maybe you should split it into two nations. One for the Black Company : good troops and good heroes. One for the Empire : average troops and amazing heroes.

They weren't always on the same side.

Now that sounds as an idea.

That would be neat - even neater as themes.

Basic nation: The Lady's Empire.
Theme#2: Black Company [For Empire]
Theme#3: Black Company [Vs. Empire]

.....But that is a hell of a lot of extra work.
