Hi JONES1979 i have a question are you still working on this mod or the IDH mod?
Things stalled due to few IRL projects I need to finish in May, so yes, I'll return to the modding business in June
It's great to hear that, I just played the latest version again, BT count to the finest of what Adeptus Astartes offers to the Imperium of men.
Yeah! NO PITY! NO REMORSE!

This both are design features of Black Templars marine nature. Basic troops are aggressive and zealous no matter what supreme commander (mean. You) thinks about battle situation.
The second is the effect of Righteous Zeal, when one of brothers is killed, others will fight harder, ignore more damage, but became uncontrollable for some time. Only the presence of person of great authority, like attached Chaplain or Castellan, can change this.
From the gameplay perspective, BT have benefits in melee, so that is balanced by other ways.
