It's optional.
Benefits: Easier to get prisoners with the blunt command and the flail works better.
Look in the download folder.
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Hello.  :mrgreen:

\BWReworkedv26vA_Standalone20161127\WSEflailbluntsREADMEdirections.txt

Thanks for ur work. Really amazing  :party:
 
Nice catch. Same name, probably almost identical. Both work.

Update: I uploaded version "ab" yesterday to Nexus mods from a different internet connection.
One person complained about a bug that I couldn't replicate.
There are no changes yet from last week.

You are the only ignorance person here, you fool. You spamm this all over the Forum and now you are watched.. Yes send them a PM!
You sound not very turstfully like this and who knows if you would ever credit the people and so on. Well, you can still do what ever you want but when i go to the link you posted i get to a grim dawn page.. and find this:

From jiaco:
"I think your motivation based on what happened with TQ is great, but you have to realize that from other people's perspective, people that do not know you, that your site does not immediately represent the bastion of stability that you propose. It is not that I do not wish it to be the case, but how can I be sure it will not be offline in a year or two?"

PLS do not Rage...
You should also wait for this Mod wich will get an Update. Use Nexus or Moddb...
Peace
 
WSEflailbluntsREADMEdirections.txt in the main mod folder is the best guide to getting WSE running. It even has a video link to how to install it.
Ignore the one in the WSE folder.

Brytenwalda Reworked: Experience Dark Age England, Scotland and Ireland

Brytenwalda Reworked 2015-6 Submod Description
First of all, this mod builds on all the great work done by the Brytenwalda team and seeks to keep the spirit and focus of their efforts alive. It includes all elements of Brytenwalda 1.41 with a large number of content and tweak revisions and only a small number of script revisions. I adds onto 1.41 new scripts by TML from 2013. It includes all the graphical enhancements of Brytenwalda Repolished 1.05 at the permission of Brujoloco.
The Goals and Vision of this submod:
1)  To make Brytenwalda more accommodating to newcomers while keeping the intricate historical and political character of the submod alive. 1.41 and Repolished are intentionally realistic, meant to simulate the reality of struggling in the dark ages. It also gets boring quickly to some.
The competition in payer attention from games is much higher than it was 4 years ago. Players expect to accomplish something in an open world like this within 7 days of playing. 

2) To allow players to accomplish things in a shorter period of time. The time frame I have in mind is 1.1 game years to the founding of a kingdom on easy settings and a significant reduction for other settings.  The majority of the script tweaks will make the game about 15% easier on settings. Money will be about 15% easier to make. You will need that and far more to successfully hold onto a kingdom.

3) Make the late game accessible. For me, the running one’s own kingdom is the most exciting part of this mod.  However, doing this without cheating seems virtually impossible. Holding onto a kingdom established without more than 200,000 in savings and huge army was not possible in earlier versions. Many scripts have been altered to make things easier:
• Good Lord conversion is easier with high persuasion skill and RTR
• Adjusting “Campaign AI” has a major effect on the ability of enemy factions
• Better returns on building investments
• Lords are now fixed in character-type/renown. Spreadsheet with all their settings is possible.
• Many other dynamics that will allow you to survive longer as a faction leader.
Older players may argue that this makes the game too easy. However,

4) Immersive Realism to me is ruined by using cheats. I would like all players to be able to play without being tempted to use cheats. As it stands, the game is too punishing and even boring for many experienced players. If players believe the mod has reduced the intrinsic cheating of the AI, they will be less likely to cheat.

5) Simplicity when possible. The scripts in the game are very complex and can overload the game causing stuttering. A number of quests failed regularly due to complex scripting. The most troublesome have been commented out, while others are streamlined or made to run at night. Also, item weight penalties are now based on a simple script rather than the arrangement of items in itemkinds.

6) Transparency. I have added clues in-game to help players make vital decisions. NPC morale and a few other factors appear in-game. Dialogs drop many more quest hints.  Also, making decisions about buying and selling is a huge part of the game, so I standardized and published a list. I plan to publish clear guides to all the quests and other features in the near future.

7) Amplify the effect of acquired skills and traits (RTR, reputation) whenever possible in scripts. Currently, intelligence and charisma skills at high levels only have a minor impact on gameplay. It would be nice to see them make a difference in the game. Since player traits are so important to outcomes, wealthy players can accelerate trait acquisition. Special merchants and quests now feature items with significant bonuses to traits.

8 ) Encourage a diversity of strategies. Banditry or extended Freelancer were necessary shortcuts in earlier versions However, the path to success as a trader, enterprise developer, slaver, ransomer, book reader, warrior or warband leader are now easier. I want players to discover new paths to success and hear about it on the forum.

9) Bring Quests back alive. Most quests have been improved to different degrees:
• Beowulf Sword: Completely revamped with new side quest added
• Arrians: New giver, more challenging, better outcome
• King of Rheged: New dialog and outcome
• Odin’s Cave: Bodyguards, new loot
• Roman Baths: Tied to Hadrian Wall Quest, bodyguards, better loot
• Hadrian Wall: You don’t need to conquer London. Dialog revamp.
• Celtic “Sacrifice” Quest: Revamped, new rewards
• Help Pyr the Elder: excellent items and scripting
• Neko and Cantabrian warriors: debugged and dialog revamped

10) Less Violence: Some players and player parents object to all the bloodshed. All weapons but knives can now toggle to a blunt mode. A scripting project has been started to allow the “use blunts” command to cause most agents to use an alternate form of their weapon that is blunt. There is also a new line of blunt-only weapons.

11) Support for submodders. BW141/Repolished were very difficult for submodders to work with. The biggest change is that the module_items and module_troops have been revamped to features names that are very similar to the names of items and troops seen in-game. This took an enromous amount of time and debugging. Additionally, I have translated as much as I could into source files and have published them on a regular basis. You can access sources files at the link under my profile or http://www.nexusmods.com/mbwarband/mods/5997/?. I can easily support old and new submods with the new layout. Examples:
-100 Companion submod was recently added.
-Itemkinds1 is much easier to search and directly edit in text. All itemkind classes share a common stub such as kni, seax, sword, shsword,ax,shield,helm,cap,mail,tunic, hammer for blunts, etc.

Partial, Short Changelog (as of Oct 11, 2015):
New Overhead spear animation that works
New Game Icon revamp. Credits largely go to Kraggrim.
Troops have been revised to use ethnically-sensitive gear. Redleg was very helpful with some of the troop upgrades.
New troop trees, esp for Picts, Fresnas, Irish, Briton factions.
New weapons and armors. My favorite is the cavalry flail.
Shield diversity. They are fewer but have diverse stats, requirements and quite are few elite shields are available in quests.
Large shields now require shield skill 3 primarily because the overhead animation cannot be removed for those with the big shields.
Diverse and new gear for tournaments. Bets and Rewards have been upgraded.
Several new books. New read times. New effects of books.
New feature: books from Abbots dialog feature
Prisoner Management Skill added back in and revamped
Agility removed as an attribute to accelerate skill progression. Text file available to add it back in.
Skills-Attribute relation revamped to allow specialization. More skills are now party skills.
Mercenary revamp: New gear, all have blunts, much easier to find and recruit in taverns
Added 5 stable ransom brokers in Loidis, Cirren Cester, Monid, Temair and Caisel
Captives sell at 50% higher rate
New Meshes for authentic dark age swords courtesy of Gothic Knight (Still not released)
Wages reduced slightly; Leadership has larger impact on wage reduction.
Most common TweakMB changes have been included into the game files since the TweakMB database is out of date and causes file corruption now.
Made enterprises more lucrative depending on town. You need to think about the best enterprise for a town rather than just picking wine or beer-makers.
Published standardized trade-item list
Kidnap, Escort caravan and escort herd quests yield gold and XP much higher depending on quest distance
Impossible quests have been made rare or made easier. Ex: Train Troops quest should not require troops higher than level 29 be delivered
Reduced size of Lord parties by 10%
Hunting map smaller, 2 new types of wild animals to hunt
Make Peace quest yields 2X RTR if you refuse the money reward.
Lowered costs of manor and mill improvement by 20%
Increased return on all investment buildings by about 25%.
Reduced Imod price increase for high-quality weapons and armor at normal merchants
Added 8 special merchants selling items you can find nowhere else.
Spies give spotting skill bonus at sizes 4, 8 12. Wages much smaller except when on mission.
Many other special characters give party bonuses: camp women, caravan masters, cantabers, clerics, several others
Villages: I have removed some of the penalty for trading with villages. Village raids cause slightly less damage to them. High village relations yield better recruits at a higher rate.
Mission Templates:
Increased starting stamina points but they dissipate quickly with heavy armor
Made athletics have a 15% greater impact on stamina.
Made it 22% less easy to kill the horse of a mounted troop with all weapon classes
Spears were getting a 200% bonus. Now have a 140% bonus on damage
Reduced the damage from striking enemies in the back 40%
It's too easy to exploit this and surround enemy war parties.
New script to force troops to use their best weapon (common Native problem)
Formations are callable from within new menus, including ambush and camp defense

Credits:

Kalarhan, Somebody and Antonis for scripting guidance.
HootMan for reliable, ongoing testing and graphics improvements.

Sorry could you please provide with an alternative download source? I cannot download from Nexus, it's impossible, thanks!
 
There seems to be a problem with the North Bandits quest in Rheged. Maybe other quests linked to that kingdom too. I'm not able to buy special armors anymore. I can't seem to get the Treasures of Britannia and Hibernia quest working. At least I think that was the name of the quest.
 
Those are important, new quests.
Do you mean the village elder quest in Rheged?
Or the King of Rheged and Iniau?
They all have specific triggers, but nothing too hard.
I need more information why you think they don't work.
You need just a little renown (100?) to get either of them going.

Special armors requires a renown that's around 450?
Why don't you save, use the cheat to raise renown, then try them again and report back.
Then revert back to your precheat save.
 
Great work gdwitt, its good to see Brytenwalda is still getting improved!
Being able to send caravans from the guild masters is particularly great feature!

Three possible bugs though:

1. Enemy lords still fighting you even if you pursuade them to join you.
While supporting a claiment I have been attacked by a lord belonging to the original faction. If I succesfully pursuade the lord to join me I still go back to the menu for fighting them and have to either fight them or surrender, even though we should now both be allies.

2. I have the "Epitoma Rei Militaris" skill book and merchant's ledger in my inventory, when trying to select a book to read in the camp menu I am only able to select the merchant's ledger to read, a book which should not be readable. The training skill book still shows 0% progress after my character had "read" the merchants ledger. (Sorry, I can't remember if I actually gained a skill point for training or not after reading)

3. None of the village elders will give me quests (I'm fairly sure this isn't something I have done as it has been all the villages I've visited)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to be putting bugs, this is my first post on the forum

Keep up the good work!
 
Thank you for the feedback.

-- This is savegame compatible with the last version as far as I can tell.

Books: This is on my to do list for sure now.
Quests: That's odd. No quests at all?
Lords: That fight or surrender dialog does not indicate that your enemies. It is simply the default dialog option if the game logic can't figure out where to place you in the dialog file. There is a problem with a flag not being set or a condition not met. I could fix this quickly if I knew the last dialog string that you saw before it jumped to the fight or surrender option. Do they join your kingdom and change color?
 
Village Elder quests:
I can ask for a quest: "Do you have any tasks I can help you with?" but the answer is always "No sir, we don't have any other tasks for you."
So it's almost as if I have already refused a quest from all of the village elders

Lords:
If I "attack" the enemy lord the conversation goes as follows:
"There is something I would like to discuss with you in private", "I have","Reason...", "I ask you to pledge your alligience..."
They agree to pledge their alliegence and then it goes to the battle options page of "charge the enemy, order your troops to attack without you, Commander's options, Setup multiplayer battle, Leave and assess nearby forces".
If I choose to fight the lord the battle starts as if they were still an enemy lord, if I choose to leave rather than fight the lord swaps colours and joins my rebel faction.
If the enemy lord attacks me: instead of leave I have "leave some men" and "surrender" even though they still show as belonging to my faction on the world map

I hope that helps,

Thanks for looking into this!
