Hi all! As a (belated) Christmas present to the wonderful community here, I'm offering an alpha version of my mod, Battle for Hindustan. This mod is based on historical early 16th century India, at the time of the Mughal invasion. I lived in India for a year, so I got very inspired by Indian art, architecture, and history, especially the Mughal era since I lived in Delhi and practically got to see reminders of the Mughal influence every day I was there.
Battle for Hindustan is a work in progress, so the gameplay is still pretty much vanilla; I'll be adding kingdom management and some other features later, at the moment the mod consists mainly of new factions, items and troops.
Features:
- 12 factions;
The Delhi Sultanate
The Mughal Empire
The Empire of Vijayanagar
Sultanate of Bengal
Sultanate of Gujarat
Bahmani Sultanate
Imadshahi Sultanate
Qutbshahi Sultanate
Adilshahi Sultanate
Chauhan Rajputs
Kacchwaha Rajputs
Zamorinate of Calicut
- 4 troop trees per faction: a peasant line, a noble cavalry line, foreign mercenaries, and elephants
- recruit from tavernkeeper (nobles, foreign mercenaries and elephants)
- hunting in hunting lodges
- your own kingdom name when you rebel
- revised character generation
Edited
Credits:
Chel for battle abilities scripts (I used the whistle for horse)
-IYI-O-R-T- for the new camel
Sibylla - for the tulwar, shamshir and saif models
Wei Xiadi - new scale armor textures
Amade - some of the headgear
Nijis - for teaching me how to work with the M&B module system (and also for the spired and veiled turbans)
Highlander - hunting mod source and deer models
WilliamBerne - elephant models and textures
Ibokula - items from the Hiung Nu mod
guspav - items from Mesoamerica mod
Luigi- arquebuses
OSP Weapons team
OSP Helmets team
OSP Horses team
Thorgrim - for BRFedit and MapEditor
HokieBT - parties to tuples utility
kt0 - troops to tuples utility
knight - for Rise of the Khergits, which started me on the idea of modding
armagan - for the best game I've ever played
For those who've been following the Hari Ragat mod, you may be surprised that this just came out. The truth is, I've been working on this from even before Hari Ragat, with all the items made and ready, and did the final coding of the factions over the past few days. With my year-end rush of work finally winding down, I'll be getting back to Hari Ragat, then hopefully with your suggestions and help I'll come back and add to this one.
Merry Christmas, and enjoy!
