Units Thread - Star Wars Conquest mod for Mount & Blade

What I have to suggest here are very small adjustments but some I'd like to see changed due to my own personal preferences. Here goes:

Change some of the unit names - In my opinion there should not be an "officer" troop tier in any of the troop trees. This is because as a player I don't like to take around an entire party full of officers, it seems strange. Similarly a party full of "captains" seems illogical. I would propose changes such as "Elite" or "Adept" - for example "Stormtrooper Elite / Adept" or similarly "Elite / Adept Stormtrooper".

Secondly the "Assassin" troops in the "evil" human troop progression tree seems a bit odd. Mount and Blade isn't really a game for stealth and assassins are stealthy. These guys however aren't. I'd like to suggest a name change more in keeping with the troop tree to "Mercenary". It implies a cold, ruthless nature, similar to assassin that also highlights their battle prowess rather than stealth tactics. To fit the name the addition of the mercenary helmet would also be a nice addition (especially as no troops currently use it).

I'd say these are fairly small insignificant changes and are hardly game breaking, but perhaps something to consider if you have 5 minutes spare

You are right about the officer thing. However I would like to take a look to the whole stormtrooper tree. It seems to me that they are too tough, specially when they died from 1 shot in the movies... Moreover, one guy protested that ARC clon troopers lasted less than stormtroopers when they are suposed to be the best, which is true.

I think this hsould be the best: Stormtrooper - Elite Stormtrooper - Stormtrooper Support
Being the stormtrooper an easy killable but well armed trooper. The elite stormtrooper would last longer and be basicly as elite as the 501. And the support would carry heavy weapons.

Shouldn't the Elites and Supports be separate offshoots?

Stormtrooper - Veteran Stormtrooper - Elite Stormtrooper
\ Stormtrooper Support

Maybe have something like this so not everyone is eventually heavy weapons.

I like that idea, and then the "Stormtrooper Support" upkeep can be really high so not everyone opts for a whole army full of them

mmmmm

So the elite would have the same equipment than the normal one, but would be tougher. While the stormtrooper support would have better weapons, higher firepower. Sounds good. But without the Veteran upgrade, so that they ca have more upgrades afterwards on that branch.
