Hoburg Alliance Special Edition, now complete with hoburg heroes

[Leadman]

Great mod! I had loads of fun with it. Would like to see 1 leader with a strategic move of 2.

Hmm, the link is broken for me too. Does Illwinter have the latest Version?

As for strat move 2: Umm. Their legs are roughly a foot long=) Unless there's a mounted leader, I wouldn't expect strat-move 2... but then, I can't try the mod until I know where to get the latest Version...

The one on the Illwinter site is late latest Version. There's no mention there of it having been updated, but it has.

The Tierfreunds know how to find secred paths and forgotten roads, so they can travel faster than the average hoburg. If they were size 2 I'd give them map move 3. Maybe a (recruitable) Tierfreund leader might be in order, though there kinda is one already: Rhianne the Wandering Dream-Trickster. The Starving Hoburg (though I'd give him leadership 0 if it only were possible) and The Glory of Dreams also have map move 2.

I've been having a lot of fun this past week conquering a small world with Hobb... er... Hoburgs, but that's probably because I like missile troops so much. Not much variety in those armies, it was hordes of crossbows, backed by a few "heavy" hobbits, with the Burgmeisters and "big" mages - later, Fire then Air mages for Flaming Arrows and Wind Guide, but by then I was buying 3-resource indy Archers instead

When I explained this to (non-Dom2 playing) friends, they all agreed: Hobbits kick ***, anyway. Look what they did to those poor Witch-King and Sauron.

I hope that you will add the recruitable Tierfreund leader. A recruitable Hog Knight leader would also be nice. The addition of a heavy pikeman (really a long spear and no shield)would add a little more tactical variety. Thanks again!

I wish there were indy archers with 2 strat move. Well, there are those Woodsmen, but I mean semi-armored ones - ringmail is about as low as you can go and have a decent chance of surviving a flock of arrows.

Once again, I'm impressed by the indy plate cuirass archers... resource expensive... but wow, they're practically immune to enemy shortbows. I never buy indy res-3 archers unless I have no other choice.

I'm curious, is anyone using the sacred units? They are fairly cheap (perhaps too cheap even, not really sure), aren't capitol only, and can be pretty effective too with the right blessing(s).
