It's ok, but they need better archers and cavalry. After all this is suppose to be inspired by the Mongolians and they had the best archers and cavalry in the world. So hobgoblins should have units that can at least match the wood elves.

updated for 6.2

Can you put the faction on the map as a non playable faction first? It doesn't need to have LL or mechanics, just something to add distinct cultures to different parts of the map.

does this work with Chaos Armaments for Chaos Dwarfs for unit upgrade?

Work has begun on a playable faction for the real hobgobla khanate though, but it will most likely take quite a while.

can you make a faction?

@Spanish Inquisition: Without additional table entries the units won't show up in the warband panel. It would require a submod for this but I am not too keen on creating one tbh.

@SrKal: Regarding the pillagers I just wanted to have an elite spear cav to complement the Ravagers from Deco's expanded roster mod.

None of theses units should be counting toward Gorguz' unlock quest. I'd have to partly overwrite the quest. Maybe in a future update.

is this able to be used with warband ultiimate if not. can it

Some unit appears to not be counted for Gorduz' quest. I have 5 units and it says I have 4.

Its one of the Hobgoblin Archers. Either poison or fire.

I could find loreful explanations for all but the Pillagers. Where did you get the inspiration for them?

@ubermorgen I LOVE YOU

@Brokentoy324: Thanks for the bug report! Should be fixed now.

for some reason when i upgrade the gobbo recruitment settlement to tier 3 i lose access to lower tier troop recruitment

@Ubermorgen I did find out awhile back that imbed views don't count toward views on YouTube. I would prefer a link in the description but its up to you. You could do both as well imbed then a link in description if someone wants to watch the full video.

@DASSBEAR: Hey, thank you for the mod showcase! Is it ok if I embed it here on steam workshop? Not sure if those views still count for you, if not I could also just add a link to the video somewhere in the mod description. Also you are giving me too much credit for the unit designs, some of them are using base game assets without any big changes.

Great Mod! Gave this a spotlight over on YouTube! https://youtu.be/tGBe5D8Fi_I?si=2T1XpYhHDRFubVKp

updated for 6.1

@✯Lunion✯: I think I found em thanks for the inspiration!

@Rincewind322: Thanks for playing!

Hey great mod, have posted long ago some concepts arts/ Figs of Hob in Wez canal on discord if you want to check ^^

Having an absolute blast with a half Keshig army, thank you!

@Your Mother: Haven't decided on all the units for the roster yet and not sure I can make a decent looking dread maw, but we'll see.

@The Baron: I just did not want to create another submod, maybe for the faction mod when it's done.

@DarthTComandoe: Yes, the roster will most likely include a couple of gunpowder units. A mounted one with pre cursor attacks sounds good, thank you.

@thaelmann: not my type of music, but some of the tracks are fitting for the chorfs. Hashut-az in Japan is not bad though

@Guv: yeah, that is the goal. I just got the chorf dlc recently and wanted to have more hobgoblin units, so the lords from the expanded roster mod will lead more varied armies. Work has begun on a playable faction for the real hobgobla khanate though, but it will most likely take quite a while.

@Mr. Wright: OVN still have their hands full with halflings and amazons, which will most likely be the last faction mods from them, but we'll never know.

I think I saw some comments that the Hobgoblins had or use a Dreadmaw as a unit. If that is correct, and you plane to include distinct monster units, perhaps a model for such could be the Kislev ice dragon? It moves along the ground in a slithery way. It would just need the legs removed, a different color and different head choice.

shame deads units and lord option dont appear in the faction for custome battles, havent checked campaign

you could add an Arquebus unit and follow true with history. An overall inaccurate weapon, unless mounted on solid ground, that hurts enemy moral/leadership more than really doing dmg. It could be called screeching arquebus with the idea that they are hand-me-down from the chorves with the bullet spinning in the air to create the name sake screeching sound. Maybe a regiment of renown version that that are the flechettes and deal some bleed on top of the leadership debuff?

Best use would be on a mounted unit with bad charge bonus, instead hoping to fire this auxiliary shot and rear charge to quickly break the will of the enemy and do the much easier thing of running them down.

thanks for this man :D

excellent Mod!

I had riffusion compose some Dawi-Zharr Battle Music. :D [soundcloud.com]

Cool idea, but I am not sure about flooding the Chorf roster with more hobgoblins. At this point, there should just be a Hobgoblin standalone faction.

@Ubermorgen great to hear you'll be working on this! Maybe you could get in touch with OVN or SCM and get the full blown Hobgobbla Khan faction ready to ride!

Awesome mod.

very neat to hear!

@BloodW0lf: yes you'll be able to tell him how you were among the first people to play the mod back in the day, when it was only a unit pack :D

Jokes aside, I have created the basics: there's a selectable horde faction with their own LL, a couple of horde buildings and access to the units available to the custom battle faction. Now the real work begins fleshing out the faction with some mechanics, technologies and so on, also haven't decided on the full roster yet as I have some ideas for other things than just wolf riders but not 100% sure they are feasible.

sweet! My grandson will probs be able to play it ;)

@BloodW0lf: 84 years, give or take

amazing updates! do we have a time line for an IEE faction or not yet?

update:
- added new body variant for Kheshig
- added new quiver variant for Trackers
- added shoulder pads to Hobhound Pillagers
- reduced clipping for Hobhound Pillagers
- removed shackles from Hobhound Pillagers and Trackers
- fixed LOD issue for Tracker heads
- added more head variation for Chariot Riders and Warriors

finally

@Haunter: yes

Absolutely love this mod! Any plans to add Ghazak Khan or Khengai Khan as playable factions?

small update:
- some of the units can be part of chaos dwarf rebellion armies
- some of the units can be recruited by allies through outposts

Also, great mod! Gonna be playing this with mongolian throat singing in the background.

@GunKing
Nah, CA has not given up on the game mate. Even now they are reworking Kislev with no DLC attached to it...

@GunKing
Dude, "end-of-life support". Omens of Destruction was a couple of months ago, c'mon.
