News:
RELEASED BETA!About 5 features missing, i think one glitch (that i found) and no items added yet. (and no awesome naval battles yet...) just a stupid type with huge ships 
next release will have the ships i've been making (the real surprise)ADDED SCREENS!
POLL RESULT! RELEASE OF BOTH (everyone is happy)NEW FEATURE! ADDED BRIDGE BATTLES!NEW FEATURES ADDED! AND WORKING GREAT! ADDED RANKS (thanks to foxyman ) AND FINISHED NAVAL BATTLES.Men of Steel
Features:
This mod adds lots of realism to the game and makes it very hard to actually finish it. (makes it realistic because its hard to actually survive about 300 battles in real life
)
-Larger armies.
-Bigger renown prize when you beat the arena.
-Horses have a much bigger charge bonus, halved health, faster and more expensive. (you cant stay on a horse if your the only cavalry man because you will probably get cut down
)
-Perma Death, no matter if you get unconscious or killed you cant use your character any more.
-All soldiers have less health (except for you and kings)
-Weapons deal more damage
-Armor soak reduction, and armor is weaker now (the weakest to piercing damage) and strongest against blunt hits.
-All missile weapons (including thrown) deal a lot of damage and bodkin arrows and steel bolts have a bonus against shields.
-Missile speed affect the missile damage much more
-Couched lance damage is now 3 times the normal damage (since a charge with a lance in the face kills everyone
unless you hold a shield, in that case say goodbye to your shield
)
-Kingdom managment
-All villages now give a monthly bonus, and within 5 months your villages prosperity is doubled than 5 months before. (you get 20% prosperity a month) this still has to be checked does it work...
-Now when you conquer a castle for a king and you don't get it... he gives you 20k gold (since castles don't cost 900 gold
) so its still a win when going for a castle.
-Money is needed much more than before since there are bigass armies and weapons and horses cost more...
-Harder gameplay (no more charging bravely with 10 knights and kill about 60 soldiers... you think more strategically like this
)
-You gain much more exp after a battle than before... same as enemies...
-Once you catch a lord he has a 65% chance to escape from the army and a 1% chance to get out of a prison... (more realistic)
-I added a garrison tweak by magelord but still didn't see what it does...
-Companions cost more now since they are captains too
not only companions...
-Mounted units cost much more than before
For now these are all the modifications i made...
To make this mod even better i suggest you use these things..
-Battle Sizer (if the game lags on about 400 put it on 200 and lower the graphics for best result)
-Put everything on normal (not easiest)
-And remove arrows that point in which direction you are hitting (adds to the realism)
Final notes:
Give credit to TheMageLord for his little tweaks (which i tweaked a bit more
)
And highlander for the kingdom managment
And usually two hits with a sword or axe is deadly.. maces are the cheapest weapons and the weakest (except for the winged one which has a design that can pierce the body when it hits, more damage)
Credit for Bridge battles go to Arch3r and credit for the first ship model goes to james...
and foxymans ranks
SCREENSHOTSKnown Glitches:
-Pirates will spawn on land too (with ship map icons) but don't move.. when you fight them you have a land battle...
-For now from 8 ranks you can't use the first one for some reason.
