Unit Index

Campaign-specific units encountered

Unit	Level	HP / move / XP	Alignment	Attacks and abilities	Advances to
Noble Fighter	1	36 / 6 / 40	Lawful	Sword 7×3 blade	Noble Commander
Noble Commander	2	48 / 6 / 90	Lawful	Sword 8×4 blade; bow 6×3 pierce; leadership	Noble Lord
Wesfolk Outcast	1	33 / 7 / 40	Chaotic	Staff 5×2 impact; sling 4×3 impact; distract; leadership	Wesfolk Lady
Warrior King	Inherited	Inherited from core Royal Warrior	Inherited	Adds leadership and elderly hit/death sounds	Inherited

Warrior King is deliberately thin: its campaign file wraps the core Royal Warrior with a new name, leadership, description, and presentation changes. This is a prime example of creating a story-specific unit without copying a full core stat block.

Core units referenced in Scenarios 01–03

Role	Units	Fresh content required?
Player recruits	Bowman, Horseman, Mage, Spearman; optionally Footpad, Poacher, Thief, Thug	No: core units
Burin	Dwarvish Steelclad	No new unit type; campaign portrait and named-unit setup provide identity
Orc roster	Orcish Archer, Assassin, Grunt, Warrior, Warlord, Slayer; Wolf Rider; Goblin Spearman	No: core units
Eldaric’s guards	Shock Trooper or Heavy Infantryman	No: core units configured with names and traits

Unit authoring patterns

Pattern	Example	Lesson
Full custom progression line	Noble Fighter → Noble Commander → Noble Lord	Use when the protagonist’s mechanics and visual identity are central.
Custom unit using standard movement type, attacks, icons, and sounds	Noble Fighter / Commander	Custom units can still reuse most engine and core assets.
Core base-unit wrapper	Warrior King → Royal Warrior	Prefer inheritance when only story role or a few abilities differ.
Named core unit	Burin the Lost → Dwarvish Steelclad	A memorable hero does not require a custom unit type.

Noble Fighter · Noble Commander · Wesfolk Outcast · Warrior King

Units added by the Scenario 04 branches

Named unit	Type	Route	Traits / role	Custom definition required?
Minister Edren	White Mage	Swamp	Loyal, strong; optional temple discovery	No; named core unit with selected portrait
Sir Ruddry	Knight	Swamp	Loyal, resilient; route survivor and companion	No; named core unit
Sir Ladoc	Knight	Midlands	Loyal, resilient; route survivor and companion	No; named core unit
Grilg	Goblin Knight	Midlands	Loyal reserve commander for Tan-Bok	No; named core unit
Vrogar	Orcish Slayer	Midlands	Loyal reserve commander for Tan-Hogar	No; named core unit

Production lesson. Five memorable named characters are added without five new unit-type files. Identity comes from names, traits, portraits, scripted entrances, and narrative role.

Units and named characters added in the Oldwood arc

Character / type	Origin	Implementation role
Elilmaldur-Rithrandil — Ancient Wose	Named core unit with campaign portrait	Allied leader, protected objective, quest giver
Named Elder Wose guardians	Core units created by campaign `GUARD_UNIT`	Difficulty-scaled allied defenders

“A Former Friend” — Walking Corpse or Soulless	Core type created by campaign macro	Raised version of a fallen side-1 unit
Lady Jessene	Dynamic reconstruction using `$lady_store.type`	Permanent canonical identity preserving prior advancement type and experience

Custom-unit lesson. None of these five roles requires a new unit-type file. Campaign identity comes from IDs, names, portraits, traits, variations, events, and preserved state.

Production lesson. Every major branch antagonist uses a core unit type. Named identity and encounter role are created through WML rather than new unit definitions.
