Hello and Welcome to the Mercantilism Mod for Warband
The goal of this mod is to give the players the possibility to build up a trade empire, with buildable manufactures in the city's, buyable land in the villages, your own caravans and many more.
Cause you need consumers, a population system has been implemented, with 3 classes of people (Worker, Merchant and Rich), with different demands. Every city and village produces it's own goods, based on it's location and culture.
Description:
The whole Mod is based on Waihtis Diplomacy Mod and Caba'drins Pre-Battle Orders & Deployment, which can be found here.
After reading the following Thread by Konrad von Richtmark "Link" i was fascinated by the industrial things allready implemented into the game, that could also be used more. So i decided to try modding Warband and see what comes out of it. First i started with some great OSP projects from the community, that seemed usefull. Later i wroth my own scripts. Many of the features in this mod are inspired by games like Patrizian 2, the Anno, The Guild and Total War series and Crusader Kings 2.
The political system got some additions and changes to give you more options, like exchaning troops and fiefs, to bribe and harm or even convert yours and other lords and ladys. A new system to simulate a character for the NPCs got written, now some hate or love you and each other from the beginning of the game. Your actions will change how they see and react towards you. Theyr character also influences theyr behavior.
To create more immersion many smaller features have been added, like named npcs, hunting and many other. In the citys you will find a new set of NPCs, the city council, that give you more ways of interacting with a city. Also the taverns are now full of new NPCs, new companions and mercs, new firearm traders and some shady persons, that will allow you to do more infame actions.
The trooptrees got fully redone, new mercenary troops got created and every religion got a special trooptree.
Also a lot of other OSP got added for immersion or gameplay changes, like a new campaign AI, Siege AI, Sea Fights, Faction Rebellions, Camp Entrenchment, many new Items (Firearms), many new Companions (120) and many other more.
For Example the Diplomacy Mod, with many new diplomatic options, also Sea Traders, Pirates, Seafights, Bridgebattles and Firearms,
or the Tavern Animation Pack by Slawomir of Aaarrghh

Version 0.5 and following are not savegame compatible.
This is an early Version, which was uploaded to make some tests and that's the point where i need your help.

Possible future features i'm thinking about
These are the things i'm thinking about to implement, but where i'm not sure, mostly cause of balancing problems, time, effort or lack of skill.
- reinforcements for army's are coming from city's and villages of the lords/faction - so you can weaken an enemy faction by killing it's people
- integration into diplomacy, so if all villages are burnt, all cows are dead and the population flees in horror, a king will accept peace
- a new council member that allows you to manage your industries
- more custom battlefield around ruins or other things (like the bridge battles)
- redesign of some city's to integrate the bank and other buildings (harbour, kontor...)
- npc guilds as opponent traders
- random events like diseases or fires that influence people and land
- piracy
- city right, give a city the right to govern itself or other rights
- ways to sink money - city feasts, gambling, prostitutes and so on
- assassins, hireable to kill/weaken npcs, poison wells or doing other nasty things
- the ability to found your own religion

The Source Files are also implemented, feel free to use them in your own Mods, Credits would be nice and maybe tell me if you use them, cause im curious to see where they get implemented and how it works there
All added features are more or less functional and the latest version from the forums and other sources, so this is a fully playable mod. Some of the menu's have some unsorted new options that maybe lock ugly, but are functional too.
