Hell Hound (AoF2)

Description
Shimdom's Best Unit Mod Challenge mod from Age of Fear: The Undead King GOLD. Adds a new unit, the Hell Hound, which can be evolved from a Warg. (The evolution can be unlocked by visiting the Smuggler's Den.) Original description (including cut-off at the end) follows:
This is my unit submission for best unit for the modding challenge.

Unit description: Hell Hounds are wargs that have fully demonized after being corrupted. Hell Hounds use every advantage from both their wolf heritage and new demonic powers to guard the gates of Hell, or their masters that leave it.

I decided to make a Hell Hound. It is an upgraded version of a warg, that is a functionally a unit upgrade for the Hell Bat.
Hell Bats have low durability late game, while Hell Hounds have more slightly more defense, health, and attack.
Hell Hounds are physically larger than wargs. They also lose backstab damage in favor of fire damage.
I felt that the combination of fire damage, backstab damage, and later despair attack was just too powerful and had to let one go.

I really like the wolf units, and I always wanted a better version of the warg, but never could figure out how to do one thematically.
My thanks to the ADnD Monstous Manual for inspiration on this one.

I got the art from the Pathfinder Kingmaker wikipedia.

This probably isn't my best work, but I like the unit and I

I'm actually surprised and a little dissapointed that more people didnt make extended paths for existing units that either don't promote or only advance once. Part of the fun of games like these is that feeling of progression, always evolving and growing stronger. People burn out once they no longer feel like there getting more powerful, BUT it also has to feel like there is purpose and challenges ahead as well....Those two factors are what makes a perfect SRPG (as well as story, music, and artistic design of course). Any game developer that checks all those boxes will find their SRPG becoming a hit.

If you use this along with any mods that modify the Smuggler's Den (of which there are at least two), the Chaos faction for open-world battles (none known), or Wargs (none known), there will be a mod conflict.

I plan on porting most mods from other Age of Fear games to Total. If modmakers want to be added as a contributor or have their mod removed, please just let me know!
