It's good at the moment.

The elf lord.

I don't know of you noticed... But I'm trying to remove the term "king" from every unit in game.

The problem about that is that implies that a certain unit is unique.

So leader units are fine but they should be named not as kings/emperors/sovereigns but more like lords and leaders.

About the specific units I'll check stats later.

For undeads in general I don't think that they should have any leader that provide any morale bonus.

The thing is that he wants these units as map editor ones. Like m.e. Orc King or Human King

Humans and orcs have their own lords/kings.
He wants to add similar map editor units for other races.
And yes they won't be accessable during normal matches.

Nothing against having more map editor units.

That is what the header says, I know you didn't want king's for the main race so I decided to make map editor ones instead, like the Ork king and the human king (who is mentioned here with some new abilities making him more king like.)

Btw, the undead one doesn't "inspire" other Undead's, it more so enhances them making them stronger via it's dark will. The vassal is an extension of that will. You'll learn more about it when I add the description and finish the units.

Grimm lord.

The vassal.

Updated.

Hmm, perhaps I should hold on the dwarven king until after we continue them.

Icons for the grimm lords and vassals auras.

Updated.

Elves icon.

The kings additional ones.

Alright, that should be all for now. I'll wait till dwarves and scaledfolks get continued again so I get a better idea of how their lords should be.

@Stratego (dev), @Alexander82 what's the next step here?

Updated.

So if I am to create jsons for this.

I checked the property sheet thing on the modders lounge, and it seems it needs updating I think.

Would it be fine to copy one of the in game ones as an example and just remove everything and start from scratch? That way The stuff is all there but I could just modify the rest?

start from one of the latest units

So for effects I should start from 10148 and up, 10147 is EFFECT_MINUS_6,

As for the units themselves should I post them in their race categories like the human king and orc king are?

If so then the elf king would probably start at 371, and Grimm lord would start at 7009 and the vassal at 7010, if under special though then I'd start at 8046.

I suggest you to use map editor units ids

8046 it is then.

Updated.

Updated.

Updated stats.
