SP Native Calradian Conflict - Now with added realism

[messenger]

I have finally decided to announce my mod, Calradian Conflict.
Set in Calradia, it focuses on delivering intense, realistic and gritty combat, with an epic battle system that guarantee's survival to only the wiliest of generals.
The mod is aimed at enhancing Mount and Blade's terrific gameplay and pushing it's battles to the limit.
This is not the game for solo generals, with armies numbering several hundreds to thousands of men, it is a supreme tactical challenge to play.
For those players that want to use tactics with their troops, this is the mod to do it with.
No longer will charging your entire force be a viable option when both you and your enemy have to consider wave upon wave, an onslaught of soldier and heraldry.

Credits​

Ok credits, I have D'Sparil, Zathan, Yoshiboy and Llew2 to thank for coding assistance, Chel for his Classic v1.0 source code, without which the many patrols and scout parties wouldn't be possible.

A note on my .brf file, there may be uncredited items on it for 2 reasons, either a) I am not using the item, b) D'Sparil and I couldn't find the maker.

Also I would like to thank Bugman and Merlkir for their assistance in helping me develop the factional styles and histories.

Mod additions​

So far I have added Eisenhouwer's Cries of War soundpack to add to the deadly feel and effect of the battles.
Whether I add it compulsorily to the mod, or let players download it for themselves, I am not sure.

Also considering adding MAXHARDMAN's realistic steel textures, if I get his permission.

Yeah unfortunately the continued alt tab copy and pasting in Paint didn't do the game any good! If you look, the black gambesons have gone slightly red!

 

[Elenmmare]

Yep, that looks amazing. Should have a big hit on performance, but its well worth it.

 

[Kolba]

And how did you do those lines of troops? By implementing formations script, or just telling them to hold a position?

I clicked back space then selected them on the tactical map and left clicked the point on the map I wanted them to go to .

Well it's easily playable on battle sizes under 100, you just play against more waves.
I had my battle size on 398 for screenshots, it was quite choppy but just about playable. Probably will play on about 250-300 normally.

.903 seems to have got rid of the lag problems that were on .808 and stuff, so most people can probably field reasonable battles.
My PC is hardly a beast, 6800 GT is like 4 years old now...

But yes, the pure fun of playing such a massive battle makes the performance drop forgiveable.

 

[Nahkis]

Looks interesting. Can't wait to test it out. I always fancy a massive battle.

 

[messenger]

Yeah, I may not have mentioned it, but all the old parties are back. So expect war parties and scouts roaming the place, not to mention the Dark Knights are back!

 

[Chel]

Cool screenshots!

 

[messenger]

Cheers Chel, your Classic source was invaluable as a contribution towards it .

 

[Sgt Gul]

oh boy this looks so cool,  cant wait to try this out.

 

[messenger]

Cheers mate, means alot .

 

[hambal]

looks nice
do you got a exact release date?

 

[messenger]

Well I would say another week or so, it all depends on when I finish editing the factions and hunting bugs though to be honest.

 

[italiano]

Looks like I've got some competition

 

[Howlinator]

I WANT... THIS MOD... NOW! Give me the beta d00d I'll test it for you =D

Well I don't mind abit of healthy competition . Although by the looks of it your mod will be alot more realistic than mine.
I am keeping the ironflesh and other such skills, however I devised a roughly realistic system, inspired by the Realistic Combat Model.
It's mainly me doubling stats and editing abit here and there though.

@Howlinator, I assume you added me on MSN, we shall discuss it when you come on.
