Recruit
Hello everyone , waiting for the next release I wanted to share my work with all the fans of this fantastic mod.
Premise 1 : I ask pardon in advance for any possible rule broken and ask the admin to close the post immediately if necessary.
Premise 2 : I am not a modder , and my only tool was the Morgh's editor
Introduction
-Why I created this submod ?
-There is no particular reason , I love this mod , but now after playing so much I wanted to try something new and to change some of the game mechanics.
Unfortunately I have not had much time to test long so expect everything
Features
- Totally reworked Marinian and Swadian Faction and other major changes to Imperial and Rhodoks
- Realistic Historical units name( I am an History Fan ) , with more difference from faction to faction.
- Extended troop tree and general rebalancing of units.
- Changed intro music.
Changes to faction
Imperial
When the first time I saw The Imperial , I thought wow this is my favorite faction.
But I could not " endure " the view of crossbows so I proceeded to replace them with bows . Besides remembering the Cretan archers who used a shield along with his bow , I wondered why it could not also have my Imperial archer, and the result is this :
The Archer-Shield system works perfectly as mechanics , they shoot and protect themselves from enemy fire at the same time .
I limited this peculiarity to the imperial archers as to make them even more unique.
The second new feature is the introduction of palangiti of Alexander the Great , to do what I had to change some parameters of a pike and the result is this :
I also wanted to make the most realistic possible the equipment of the troops in the Roman style , I introduced the pilum ( an antarian javelin modified ) and more ..

Antarian Empire
I did not want to make no drastic change except to add two new troops that were associated too well with their style , inspired by the French cavalry of the late middle ages : Demilancers (lance only) and the Gendarme :
Their charge is devastating but they have the weakness that once unhorsed they remain slow and clumsy

Kingdom of Aden
Changes just in terms of balance, equipment and the names of troops
Zerrikanian Sultanate
When I see the repeating crossbow I could not resist to introduce the crossbowman chukenu
Nords
Added Berserkr
Villianese Duchy
Changed name of sharpshooters to rangers and introduced the sentinels :
Kingdom of Rhodoks
The rhodoks in my opinion was a faction too similar to swadians and marinians with no peculiarities, so I introduced the archer-shield system to pavise crossbowmen, now can really take advantage of this shield becoming best crossbowmen of ponavosa obviously I narrowed this ability only to them and make them unique.
I also changed the infantry and mounted crossbowmen, thus making the rhodoks a faction unique and geared to a defensive style.

Mercenary
Reworked some of the existing ones of and added shining eagle knights, reiter , Doppelsöldner (no screen)
Marinian
And here we are at one of the two major changes, when the first time I saw this faction did not say anything about that, seeing their position I had an idea to make them completely different and make them ...
This is just a small taste, all the rest you will find out..

Swadians
The second major changes, Swadian one of the oldest factions mount and blade that does not have anything special and are obscured by factions emerging, well aware of who they are, they are back in a style totally new..
Find out for yourself

UPDATE 30/11/2017
Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I did not play M&B, but I've been playing it recently, it's always fun!
I looked at the old projects I started years ago, I did not finish them because I was very busy, here are some screens of what I had done:
New Veagir units with some cool stuff
What? The swadian muskeeter are ready to shoot you with their unique muskets!
Or to stab you with their bayonets!
A real reiter..
Badass
New mercenaries come to Ponavosa... Gryphon Legion!
With unique weapons...
Their cavalry use special short carabines that can be use with shield and its very effective!

Do not think that firearms are overpowered,they have their historical limits and advantages, but I think that is cool to see how their mechanics works in that contest.
This mod was already rich in content, it was not easy to think of new ideas to fill those tiny gaps that in my opinion remained, but it was fun to do it!
I was not a modder, the files I had taken from WFS and Napoleon, I do not know if it is allowed to publish, I did it for myself for the sole purpose of fun
If it's approved by the modder I might post the update in the future if anyone is interested
