What is ProMod?
ProMod is an experimental multiplayer modification for Warband borne out of my desire for a polished and balanced competitive multiplayer experience.
ProMod is developed with four main objectives in mind:
- The first objective is perfecting class progression through equipment.
- The second objective is the elimination of ambiguity and arbitrarity in Native through standarised troop stats and items.
- The third objective is achieving proper fairness in play, otherwise known as balance.
- The fourth and final objective is to keep the look and feel of Native, as this mod uses 90% Native assets.
Pro Features
Standardised Stats
Multiplayer troops now have a set number of skill and attribute points that have been distributed to their appropriate skills. This makes it so that troop stats, abilities and faction strengths are clear cut and easily understandable. It also seeks to prevent unexpected or nonsensical abilities in classes.
Standarised Items
All items in multiplayer have been reviewed and necessary changes and fixes have been applied where appropriate: all weapon lengths are now accurate to model lengths, eliminating "ghost reach"; most damage, speed and armour values on multiplayer items have been rebalanced; some multiplayer items have had their functionalities reconsidered. New weapons and armours have been introduced.
Ranged Combat Rebalances
Bow and crossbow stats have been dramatically changed. Lower tier bows and crossbows are now less accurate and less lethal than higher tier options. Bow and crossbow speeds have been readjusted and are slower across the board. Ammunition type now plays a large role in the effectiveness of the weapons, and ammunition quantities have been halved. Most thrown weapons have had their melee modes removed.
Horses' Stat Changes
All horses' stats have been readjusted; horse tiers now progress more smoothly. All horses' models have been scaled down slightly to more closely match authentic horse sizes, bringing the rider closer to the ground and making most horses' faces more vulnerable. Charge bonuses are increased substantially to compensate for the smaller horses' sizes.
Faction Identites Revitalised
All Native multiplayer factions have had their themes, faction strengths and equipment changed to reflect their Singleplayer lores. All factions have been given unique specialty weapons that work to their faction's strengths. Most multiplayer armours have been retextured to better represent each faction and provide a better image and sense of uniformity.
Fun Features
Improved Bots
All multiplayer bots have been reconfigured: the number of bot types has been increased; all bots only use items players have access to; and all bots share the same combat stats as players do.
B.R.U Succession
ProMod has now incorporated and improved upon most of the functionality and features of the original Balion Arena Tournament module. This includes two new factions, the original 4 B.R.U maps, and 4 new arena tournament maps. It is advised to disable the appropriate maps and factions server-side to switch between Arena Tournament use and Competitive use.
faction_7 = Arena Contestants
faction_8 = Arena Patrons
multi_arena_1 = Melee Arena (B.R.U)
multi_arena_2 = Ranged Arena (B.R.U)
multi_arena_3 = Cavalry Arena (B.R.U)
multi_arena_4 = Challenge Arena (B.R.U)
multi_arena_5 = Open Arena
multi_arena_6 = Pit Arena
multi_arena_7 = Obstacle Arena
multi_arena_8 = Jousting Arena
faction_8 = Arena Patrons
multi_arena_1 = Melee Arena (B.R.U)
multi_arena_2 = Ranged Arena (B.R.U)

multi_arena_4 = Challenge Arena (B.R.U)
multi_arena_5 = Open Arena

multi_arena_8 = Jousting Arena
Misc. Features
