f835784bba19.jpg
Multiplayer modification for Mount&Blade Warband.

No non-humans (orcs, demons etc.) untill M&B 2 release.

GOAL

Creation the mod resting on the Universe Warhammer 40k make an emphasis on command game and close fight equally with exchange of fire, with fractions really differing from each other and huge quantity of features and the innovations, called up to force the players to feel themselves one of miniatures from tabletop game.

FACTIONS

Imperium:
1. Cadian Shock Troops.
2. Death Corps Of Krieg.
Chaos:
1. Chaos Cults.

CLASSES of PLAYERS

Imperium:

Cadian Shock Troops: distant fight is preferential.
Good equipment - flak armour, helmets and boots are default equipment, and not badly protect from weak shooting and a melee weapon (with small AP). High number (due to Conscripts) and enough of special weapons (due to the same Conscripts).
Casrkins excel storm troopers of other regiments in characteristics, but their Hellguns are intended more likely for creating curtain fire than to strike through heavy armor. Below – a little more specifically about their features (due to regimental doctrines from armybooks):
а). Expirienced marksmans: increased weapon skills, cadian lasgun, actually, the most accurate weapon in the mod.
b). Shaky morale: generally, units morale is lower, than other factions units.
c). Conscript squads
d). Stormtrooper squads
e). Comissars
f). Personal weapon – in this regiment soldiers allowed to use pistols additionally to standard equipment, but on their own account.

Classes:
1). Conscript squads - 20 person:
1. Conscript - 18 person.
2. Conscript with special weapons - 2 person.
2). Imperial Guards squad - 10 person:
1. Guardsman - 6 person.
2. Guardsman with special weapons - 1 person.
3. Guardsman with medpack - 1 person,
4 Guardsman with longlas - 1 person.
5. Imperial Guards Seargant - 1 person.
3). Casrkins squad - 10 person:
1. Casrkin - 7 person.
2. Casrkins with special weapons - 2 person.
3. Casrkins sergeant - 1 person.
4). High cammanders and supply units - 1 person:
1. Comissar - 1 person.

Death Corps Of Krieg: close and medium range fight. Weak armour – overcoat without armoring, but expensive armour - Carapace armor available even for basic troops, and equal in quality with Casrkins armour. Krieg Lasgun is more powerful, than cadian lasgun, but less accurate and  high consumption of battery. Good amount of special  weapons. Fast horses of Death Riders with their melee and special weapons. Krieg grenadiers armed with hot-shot lasguns which easily strikes through any armor. Also Greanadiers are good in melee.

а) Skilled soldiers: handy with melee weapon, Kriegs bayonets and digging tools get medium AP and good speed.
b). Loyalty to Emperor: high morale. If morale falls to the zero, guardsman rushes into his last attack – player looses control  under his guard.
c). Small influence amount of killed\wounded\loosing faith in Empire on morale of native troops.
d). Roughriders squadrons
e). Stormtroopers
f). Comissars
g). Peculiarity of national medicine: Krieg’s medics automatically kill critically wounded soldiers, giving his ammo nearby allies.

Classes:
1). Imperial Guard’s squad - 10 person:
1. Guard - 7 person:
2. Guard with special weapon - 1 person.
3. Guard with medical kit - 1 person.

4). High cammanders and supply units - 4 person:
1. Comissar - 1 person.
2. Engineer - 3 person.


Chaos

Chaos Cults:close combat.
Good choice of melee weapon and automatic guns. On the average have worse defence, than Cadians. But, main troops get armour from the beginning, which is better, than Kriegs overcoat. But its far not as good, as Carapace armour, even Chaos Carapace armour. Get less special weapon, than Guards. Its compensate with high quantity and higher power in close combat. Main units get high pain threshold (see below). Stormtroopers equipped with Heavy stub, exceed Hellguns with rate of fire and damage but concede with weight.

а) High close combat skills.
b). Main troops get high morale. Cant recruit chaos followers.
c) High pain threshold \Possession  - no light wounds. Chance of getting medium and heavy wounds decreased 10% each. Having been mediumly wounded stands up after loosing 10% of health.
d). Small amount of ammo.
e). No medicine men.
f). Stormtrooper squads.

strength and constitution: high.
Medium range combat skills: average.

MAIN FEATURES

1. Graphic features:
а). Dozens of new units with unique equipment.
b). New effects - explosions, firing, blood bleeding etc.
c). Many new maps, generally, about city combats and entrenchment fights.
d). Many new scenes.
e). New interface.

2. Combat:
а). Generally, in M&B fire fighting mods  leading role performed not by team actions, but players response time and luck. Because of high accuracy and damage fire fighting mods are not as interesting, as others. Therefore, we decided to  make mod, laying emphasis on team actions and brutal close combat, where shooting weapon is also effective, but you have to use it in proper way.
See below how we intend to attain this aim
1). Shooting weapon:
- This weapon has to be not very accurate, so fire fights on medium and, more over, long distance would take much time. So stimulus to rush into melee fight always remains. On the flip side, fire fighting weapon must be devastating enough, that coordinated defending fire can stops any assault.
- Swapping types of melee damage (slashing, blunt, piercing) with armour penetration - small, moderate and large. Together with other stats (weight, range, damage, rate of fire) it’ll allow make each weapon highly tailored and not Unuseful – will be aims even for the weakest pistol.
- kind of ballistics – you’ll be able to control range of fire. This needs for the same point, as swapping types of damage to armour penetration.
- special weapon – each one is useful in specific situation. One of them is effective for the burning down foes in bunker, other – fight through heavily armored aims (vehicles and spacemarines, if we make them). But each special weapon’ll get its own disadvantages – small range, few ammo or, even, chance to explode. In this case not only firing person dies, but, probably, half a squad.
б). Quarrel sides:
- Common differences – each faction get its own style of fighting – long range combat, close combat, defensive combat. Possibility to customize your character.
в). Classes of fighters:
- Amount of fighters with special weapon would be determined. Let them be “fighters with special weapon” – from the beginning they can get only standard equipment – but assortment of buying weapon and ammo  will be widen. On the same time, these men’ll not be universal, therefore, you can get, for example, flame-thrower only by replacing standard equipment by it. As a result, we get highly tailored  fighter, that has to be take care of, if you expect a special task for him, for example, bunker, full of enemies, or the wall, that has to be broken to reveal other way for the offence.
2). Ambient:
- Partial breakability – will be added breakable object in scenes. But such objects can be broken only with special weapon – one more reason for team working.
3). Morale:
- each player has a ‘moralebar’. Then more foes are nearby and then more friends dies close to soldier, then less moralebar becomes. When it comes to zero – soldier flees away for a short time or drops weapon and starts lamentably scream with appropriate animation. At that moment he can be killed by teammate (without -1 point to killcount)  (if he killed by comissar, others get morale boost) or (if guard on the knees and doesn’t flee) recruited by enemy, if the scared soldier is guard, and enemy – chaos warrior. Chaos warrior cant be recruited – only killed. Some of them don’t have morale at all (berserkers). Recruiting looks this way – any member of Blood Pact (cultists and deserters can’t do this!) come to screaming guard and kicks him, if he decided to recruit him. Otherwise, just kill him. New chaos warrior swaps his helmet with the deserters one (without emblem) and continues to fight on the enemies side.

Factors, that influence morale:
а). Amount of foes and teammates in specific radius around player.
b). Amount of foes\teammates died in specific radius around player in definite time interval.
c). Amount of foes\teammates in specific radius getting zero morale.
d). Punishment of cowards by the comissar. This doesn’t affect enemies morale.
e). Amount of wounded and\or contused teammates\foes in definite radius.
f). Player’s health.
6). Wounds and contusions:
- Contusion: after grenade explosion near player ("near" – a little longer, than zone of guarantee destruction, where death occures) there’s 30% chance, that player falls down and stays there for a certain time. Then he stands up and continues to fight.
- Wounds – 3 degrees:
а). When the player’s health is 50%, 5% chance occurs, that he’ll fall down and start bleeding – not too hard. After loosing 60% of health, or after beenf cured by the medic he can stands up and fight. Like contusion, but with health loosing and without possibility to continue fighting immediately after getting medical aid.
b). 30% of health, moderate speed of blood lose, but to the death, incapability to stands up without assistance. Getting chance - 25%.
c). 10% of health, high speed of blood lose, to the death. Incapability to stands up without assistance. Getting chance - 45%.

3. Sounds:
а). New sounds of units, explosions and firing, deaths and wounds.
b). Ambient sounds on every map.

4. New game modes:
а). Fight for area – fight for key points control.

Third version is here!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8jBKcJ7uo5raHZyY2tnbmxDb3M/edit?usp=sharing

1. First thing first - INSTALLATION.
Thanks to Slawomir of Aaarrghh, our mod now exploits WSE. In order to play ot without problems, you should copy ALL WSE files, which you find in the "WSE" folder of the MOD to the main GAME folder. From now on use WSELoader to launch the mod. If you have The Deluge, you don't need to copy anything - just launch WSELoader and BftI_v3_Alpha.

If the game asks for a serial number, go here and do what Improtant notes section suggests: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,217114.0.html

2. Features. Just play and find them out by yourselves  :smile: The most important thing, so that you won't be confused by it - all grenades, medpacks and additional ammo boxes now should be bought in the BOOTS slot. Then, when you spawned, just click Q - your character will pull an item out of a stuffbag on the ground. Pick it up and use however you want.

Teleports have been added, so that we don't need siege ladder to get to the second floor of a bunker. On the map, called Estate Defense (by Comrade Temuzu) all unsealed doors have teleports, don't forget to use this feature.

Glare grenade = Flash Grenade. PDF Headwrap with googles gives almost 100 percent immunity to glare.

3. Template2 and Invasion_map2 - are templates for those who wants to make a map. Do whatever you want with them and send those to me. If you have questions about placement of special props - PM me.

4. Known issues - I haven't caught time to make The Tower as I had intended to. It may look not finished, moreover, I haven't finished AI Meshe's placement here, so all fleeing characters will more likely stay at one place till death.

If a fleeing character dies before regaining his morale back, it's player won't see even a thing till the next spawn.

If morale count is under zero, you can't supervise how it's getting back to zero from a negative number.
 
Woo! Awesome! I've wanted to make a mod like this for a while now, now I don't need to.

I don't know how you're going to have the equipment or troop select, but how about having the imperials in one faction so you just pick regiment when you would pick a troop type in Native? Then when you'd pick equipment you instead pick troop type in the regiment, having a code to auto select your equipment based on your troop class.
 
Thanks! We have our own autofire code, which works. But only our scripter have it at the moment, I should make video or such with it when will get it.
 
Warhammer 40k: The Arkenan(name of my planet :razz: in my 40k story) Campaign
Warhammer 40k: Against all Odds
Warhammer 40k: In His Name
Warhammer 40k: Eternal War

If I can help you in this mod in anyway please pm me. I am looking forward to this mod.

What I can provide:
fluff experts
story(if needs be)
lots of Testers

Signatures :razz:(Animated with flash)
 
Variations with specific planets (sectors etc.) not suitable, because there is no specific places in our mod. Other names added to the list, thanks!
 
Will you enhance faces/hair and add new factions in the later versions?Maybe Orks,Eldar,Dark Eldar?
EDIT:BTW cool animations.This is far the best 40k mod I've seen,the only one with really HD graphics!
 
Yukimura_Sanada, thanks for offer, we will need signatures when we will choose name for mod. I'll PM you.

ThaneWulfgharn, yes we are going to make new faces for factions, mostly faces, don't know about beards and hairs, it's not nessesery.
And yes, there will be another factions in future.

Well, you won-t be able to add sectors and stuff. But scenes can be based themselves on the planets.

in short he means he wont make a story because he wants to put in everything in it probably, and storyless means he can just add it wihtout questioning.
A story offers more restrictions then a non story
 
Revan Shan, but on different planetS. Not on one from the title.

Comrade Temuzu, we have different goals - we want make trench war and city fighting between IG and cults at first, and don't want SM on Warband engine. And thanks!
