(768 AD) Varangian Guards Unit Pack for Age of Charlemagne Grand Campaign

Description
DESCRIPTION

This mod introduces three units of the famed Varangian Guard Palace Bodyguards to the Age of Charlemagne Grand Campaign by Zmz.

Historically, Varangian guards began to appear in history under Basil II in the 9th and 10th century AD.

-These units are recruited from the city chain from Lvl 2-Lvl 4, which means that you can recruit them in provinces without military recruitment buildings

1. Varangian Guard Swords is a sword & shield melee infantry unit like Eastern Armoured Legio

2. Varangian Guard Axe is an axe & shield melee infantry unit like Bucellari Guard Axemen from The Last Roman

3. Varangian Guard Spears is a spear & shield unit that can melt enemy cavalry and withstand cataphract charges (see special anti-cav ability)

-These units will almost NEVER rout (as was the case in history, they either fought to the bitter end or utterly wiped out the fleeing enemies). They also have "Headhunt" which makes them unbreakable for 30 seconds even when surrounded and exhausted.

-They have higher hp, attack, defence, amour, and morale stats than most end-game units in game to reflect their combat prowress

-They have precursor throwing weapons (Guard Axe throws axes, Guard Foot and Guard Spear throw plumbata darts)

-I did not put a campaign recruitment cap, so you can spam them if you want or have your emperor's army full of these elite guard units

-I made customized AOC-style unit cards to fit Age of Charlemagne Grand Campaign

-Bonus: they can also be recruited in your Last Roman DLC Campaign under the camp chain.

Should be compatible with most mods out there.

Leave a "Like" or an "Award" if you enjoy my work! I thoroughly test all my mods to make sure they work as intended! Modding and testing is hard work!

@angeloandmarko you can still use this mod to play with other grand campaigns where the factions use AOC units and unit cards, like Age of Charlemagne Grand Campaign.

Otherwise, you can download my grand campaign version of this mod where the unit cards are in the style of vanilla GC with WRE and ERE.

@Amaranthen thank you

@angeloandmarko oh, looks like Eurocentric Military Historian removed it.

Well, this mod is still compatible with Age of Charlemagne Grand Campaign

Update: gave these bad boys new armour skins, now they look truly Varangian (and less Barbarian!)

@Gladius Romae it's plug in and play, save game compatible
Gladius Romae 28 Jan @ 3:21am 
is this compatible with ongoing save games or a new campaign needs to be started ?
