Indeed there's a lot of problems with the balance, which I am hoping to address in some part while fixing the autocalc issue. In case of the Highlanders I couldn't decide whether I wanted them or the Kierguards to be the Ravenstern tier 6 infantry and I'm still not sure about that. Any suggestions? 

Finally I've uploaded a beta. Sadly not because it was ready for it. 

I was having trouble with motivation and thought that with it out and with feedback it'll be easier to get through it.

Let me know if there are files missing 

edit;
BETA 2 fixes all missing file warnings and adds cheatmenu support for all added items.
Known issue: Spectral items missing shader.

Started adding some previews on Moddb.
Here's the Kingdom of Pendor tree:

"Overhaul", huh? It was just supposed to be a handful of changes for my personal playthrough but I guess it did snowball like Eyegrims doomstack.

Bandits are an integral part of early game so they got a proper troop tree. Here's their archers line:


e/

Pimped yo Maiden Noble.
Now recruited from Ladies in Waiting and Ladies at Arms. Maybe.

e/

Male and female adventurers as well as outlaw leaders got a 6 tier upgrade trees.
below the bandit line; Notorious Outlaw, Ambitious Outlaw, Outlaw Leader, Outlaw petty Knight, Outlaw Petty Lord, Outlaw Petty King.
Anyone up for smashing outlaw armies?


Some troop stats left, a bit of item stats and flags, a couple dshar bandits, party templates, compiling everything and then writing the release post. Just a couple of weeks away.

I was thinking split at 10k into two 5k stacks and if player doesn't do something about it there'll be 20 5k stacks running around, consuming the entire world and posing a danger on the entire map without being unbeatable individually like now. ;D

I have a suggestion.

Instead of capping his army, make his army split in half at certain point and only make the one Eyegrim is in continue to snowball.

Some items are replacements, most are additional variants of existing models. 60% of banners I'll replace, no new ones will be added.

edit;

I originally did not intend to do anything with Pendor troops at all, but now I have been working on them for the past week and oh boy can I not wait to show you... But the awesomesauce drop will come with release, so just take my word for it, for now. 

edit;

Faction troops 95% done. I'm working on mercenaries, vigilantes, women and adventurers. That will be the end of graphics and design. A week or two for this, then two weeks or four for number crunching and the first release should be ready.

edit;

Since the Orders get new armors Ravenstern and Sarleon Knights get a tiny upgrade too.
Ravenstern uses pointy bascinets, Sarleon uses rounded. They look great in this getup imho.

I'm mostly done with the banners. Will go back to refine them later.

I'm alive. It just so happens that my interests change around every three months. This time I fired ceramics in a mud kiln with the clay from my property. 

But I'm back to work on this now. Still a few graphical things to finish, but the work left is mostly tedious number crunching and organization so I probably won't give any updates this development cycle.

It's actually got two barrels, but I understand the confusion. Wouldn't mind turning it into a blunderbuss but that would require multi-projectile code.

WiP drake arquebus. Could do with someone actually capable of original artistic endeavors to texture it tho. 

I've been down with an illness and working on the best part of this mod that nobody will get to see. 

Here's some WiP Vecavi male-slave stuff.

WiP Drake, the Dragon KO seargant. Gonna work on their custom arquebus next.

Lore wise - it's the last Ethos King and his fallen knights. Before battle he had his men swear that they would fight the Empire and for the reclamation of Ethos until their very deaths. Due to treason of Radiant Knights and Ethos nobles who made a deal with the Emperor, the King and his entire army was slain. In tribute to the fallen a new order called the "Death Sworn" formed.

Ideally it would be a boss for a quest for the Death Sworn KO. Lay the fallen to rest, claim the spectral Kings crown and re-forge Kingdom of Ethos.

How to make an armor semi-transparent like for ghost units?

A: Use "flora_shader_Instanced" shader.

I guess it's perfect then. 

Tried to make the color match the banner on that round shield. Is it better?

Thanks Leonion 

Experimental WiP Veccavian female tree. They be black, which goes well with purple and unicorns. 
Got something planned for the male, slave foot troops. Wouldn't it be cool if player could choose Veccavia as their kingdom culture? 


^{This is what I do on my birthday...} 

I was thinking about turning Mattenheim orange in honor of the Netherlands ;D
Being Islanders lore of land-reclamation with world-wonder dams could be neat, no?

Will they have cloaked versions like the armors in the base mod?

If the original armor had them then yeah, they already have cloaks.


I've been busy working on Kingdom of Ethos items. It'll share elements of the greater Pendorian culture with a Mediterranean twist based on Italian trade republics. The Kingdoms symbol will be a golden chalice representing their great wealth accumulated from maritime trade and good climate for farming. It'll only be a 'fallen faction' consisting of roaming rebel bands across Empire until the player decides to reform it. Assuming I can actually make that happen. 

It's made me want to go back and do something for Sarleon and Ravenstern as well. 

We'll see how it goes, but I also forgot I haven't even touched the KO sergeants at all so I won't be done for a while yet. 
And since the balancing will take a long while after that (I've already re-done 90% of troop trees) maybe I'll just release KO visuals only version for vanilla pop.

Another try with Radiant Cross. I wanted them white due to the saturation of black armors already but that isn't working out all that great so here's a black variant. What do ya think?
It also ties them a bit with the Death Sworn as a splinter group and should work better with the future Kingdom of Ethos troop tree.

Indeed. I was thinking I'd need to model the skull in, but that'll come later.

Edit;

Lots of time going into tedious txt files work. Graphical stuff is slowly nearing completion and I should be releasing an alpha soon after.

WiP second Death Sworn variant with warhorse.
