Default Black Company Mod

I've been working on The Black Company Mod ever since 2.08 came out. I am close to releasing the first beta. This mod is loosely based on the fine fantasy series by Glen Cook. I have tried to make the units a bit more expensive than they should be, except the basic infantry.

At this point I'd like any feedback people might have before I release the mod to the general public. E.g. units I should have added, obvious changes, etc. So far I have:

Black Infantry--basic, cheap, foot soldiers. Lightly armored but well armed--and able to throw two javelins at a time.

Black Captains--healers, leaders, warriors with a smattering of battle magic. Black Captains continually study history to learn strategems and craft. They exude confidence and morale. Expensive units.

Forvalaka--expensive, powerful, were-leopards. Faster than water mages on acid, regenerate, no armor, 4 clawed whirlwind attacks. Patron is the Shapechanger.

Limper Infantry--expensive, super-heavy infantry. Slow like their patron, but extremely dangerous infighters.

Boomers--mages taught one spell, and one spell only: fire ball. Artillery units, expensive, no armor, low hit points. Patron is The Howler.

The Taken--powerful immortal battlemages. Extremely expensive. Also unholy priests level 3. Very good leaders of men and magical beings.

The Limper--hero unit, immensely powerful Taken. The Limper was once a pretender god himself, but through vicious physical and spiritual torture, plus overwhelming magical assault and unbreakable oaths, he was subverted to the will of the Empire. A poor leader, but he retains his terrifying presence, and his unspeakable black arts are as puissant as ever. Heavily armored, tough and indefatigable. Maniacally insane. Fire/Death 8/1. Unholy 3.

The Howler--hero unit, immensely powerful Taken. The Howler was also once a pretender. A flying unit, his howls fill the enemy with fear. Air/Fire 4/4. Unholy 3.

The Shapechanger--hero unit, immensely powerful Taken. Once a pretender, now a slave to the Empire. The Shapechanger was at one time an incredibly powerful nature mage who specialised in shape changing, but is now unable to control his?/her? shape any longer--and is constantly continually writhing between humanoid forms. A great general, and a powerful warrior him/herself. Nature 1. Unholy 3.
