Scientists say wargs are the descendants of weaponized military animals created for population suppression... so why doesn't the Empire, the only military active on the Rim, use them to suppress you? Well, now they will.
Adds hunter-killer parties of wargs and their specially trained handlers as an alternative to normal Empire raids. They won't spawn as frequently as other raid types to keep things fresh, but hopefully it adds a little variety.
Requires the Royalty DLC. Will use the Animalist style for the kynigoi helmets if the Ideology DLC is present.
Details:
Empire raids will occasionally be replaced with warg raids consisting of an approximate ratio of 3 Wargs for every 1 Kynigos. These raids have a commonality 3x higher than Empire breachers, but significantly less than the base Empire raid type. They also have several strategy restrictions so they won't attempt to man mortars or breach walls with wargs.
Kynigoi ("Hunters" but also literally hound-leaders) are Janissary-equivalent pawns with a higher animals skill and a slightly lower shooting skill. They spawn with the same weapons and armor as Janissaries, but replace the recon helmet with a marine helmet. If Ideology is installed, the Wolf-head Animalist style will be used for this helmet. They also occasionally carry meat to feed to their pets.
Disclaimer:
This was just a short experiment so I could learn how simple mod making for RimWorld works. To give it an end goal, I decided to base it on a bit of lore from the Warg's in-game description but the mod seems to work pretty well so I thought I would share. However it is still my first RimWorld mod. It should be compatible with most things that isn't a total overhaul, and should be safe to add in the middle of a game, but I can't guarantee that it will work with everything.
If you give a go, please report any issues you have, and please let me know how I can improve my first RimWorld mod. I'll try to implement any fixes and improvements you can think up.
