Regiments of Renown

Regiments of Renown or RoR are elite versions of standard units, with improved combat performance and abilities. Regiments of Renown become available to the player’s faction when a  Lord reaches a certain character level.

Regiments of Renown have stats greatly improved over those of their standard counterparts and a particular Regiment of Renown may only be recruited once, unless it is destroyed in combat. They are recruited instantly into the selected army and do not require time to train.Regiments can be recruited into a selected army from the Regiments of Renown panel. The character level required to unlock a particular regiment is marked on its card on the Regiments of Renown panel.

Each regiment also gets one or more special abilities that its standard counterpart does not. The number varies according to the unit – most just have one, though a small number have two, three or even four. Almost all regiments get a leadership, melee attack, melee defence, and reload speed increase (if they have a ranged attack) over their standard counterparts because they are automatically Rank 9 Experience and rank.

The Regiments of Renown recruitment system and interface is open to modding, and it can be used for more than just adding other famous units.

Blessed Spawnings are similar to Regiments of Renown for the Lizardmen. Legions of Legend are similar to RoR for Tomb Kings.
