Dwarf Phalanx

What's in the mod ?

Two new spear units for to the Dwarf roster, delivered with a uniq charge bracing ability, and a defensive formation ability.

SFO version by HangedMark

How does the charge bracing ability works ?

When a enemy unit engage the phalanx, the Braced Charge Defense ability will be triggered for 4 seconds, applying one buff to the phalanx and a debuff to the enemy unit in melee with it.



What am I looking at ?

  1. Enemy charge in phalanx
  2. Effect trigger for 4 seconds
  3. Phalanx in contact with enemy will do 1/2 attack animation
  4. Enemy entities receives high damage because of buff+debuff and die

Like this a lot of enemy entities will die during the first few seconds of an engagement, mimicking their impalement on the dwarven spears.

In campaign, upgrades on Dwarfs Warriors affect them.



Known issue

While under the Phalanx formation ability, few medium units (e.g. Orcs) will be able to hit the dwarfs while their shorts arms won't be able to reach their foes.

One solution is to let the phalanx absorb the charge and then disable the formation. I like this solution as it reminds me of a scene with dwarves, stupid elves and some ugly guys.



Looking for a graphist

My units have always lack custom icons, cool looking unit cards and portholes.
If you are a talented graphist, please contact me on discord: toumai#3164

It would look nice if they marched with the spears pointed up and lowered them when attacking of in phalanx formation. They look awkward when marching with spears lowered.

Subscribed just now and I'm trying to test the 2 new units in a Custom Battle. I see one unit, Dwarf Warrior(Spears) in Infantry units. What's the name of the other unit? I'm not really familiar with Dawi roster in WH2 and I have a ton of Dawi unit mods I just subscribed to today.
