Welcome! :grin:

Thank you for coming to take a look at this total conversion thread.

I am looking to start up a modding team for a total conversion for Mount and Blade Warband maybe Bannerlord depending on time in which it takes to form a development team.

I want to, if possible, to create a total conversion for Mount and Blade Warband possibly Bannerlord to make it the continent of Bersia from Kingdom Under Fire including all factions, units and weapons, music etc.

This conversion will cover Kingdom Under Fire the Crusaders and Heroes using the same style of armours, weapons, units, factions and all miscellaneous items.

This will not be following Kingdom Under Fire 2 for several reasons as for one it's not released yet, and the second it's not really the Kingdom Under Fire I know and like personally, timelines are different and it's more MMO based not story based as Kingdom Under Fire the Crusaders and Heroes follows.

If you are interested in joining this team, please feel free to post here so that we can properly formulate a team.

If in the advent of development, I will be speaking to the conversion development team about whether this conversion should be applied to Bannerlord or maybe waiting for Bannerlord to come out as Banner has more mechanics that would be better for this conversion as apposed to Warband.


A little bit about the conversion.

The factions are, in possible development order: Hironeiden
                                                                                  Hexter
                                                                                  Ecclesia
                                                                                  Vellond
                                                                                  Azilia (Maybe?).
                                                                                  Encablossa (Maybe?).


A brief history on the factions:


Ecclesia: A religious kingdom on the west coast of Bersia.
             
              Ecclesia is a devout Human nation who worship God and incorporate their religion in their everyday life. It was ruled by The Patriarch, the religious and political leader and the Ecclesian Patriarchal
              Court.
             
              The current Patriarch of Ecclesia was Dimitri the Third, whose religious ideology dictates the "Extermination of unconvertible barbarians and unification of Bersian Continent under one faith." Dimitri 
              had taken over Azilla as a tributary nation while Azilla was in chaos over the king's throne. He considers the Ancient Heart to be a devil's artifact and will excommunicate anyone who speaks of or 
              attempts to learn about it.



Hironeiden: Another Human Kingdom south of Ecclesia.
                 
                  Ruled by the ill-Tempered King Saul during Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders, and Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes, and ruled by King Gerald, and Queen Ellen at the end of the Encablossan War.
                  Though this kingdom follows the principles of the Ecclesian church, it's standpoint differs greatly from Ecclesia since religious belief had caused the everlasting conflict with the Dark Legion.
                 
                  For people of Hironeiden who must fight bloody battles for survival, religious belief of Ecclesia may not be enough cause to make them devout believers.
                  Hironeiden stretches from Hironeiden City to Esse and Jungsburg in the north.
                 
                  It shares a border with Hexter, The Jurai Tribe and The Dark Legion.
                  It has a feud with the Ecclesians as they do not share the same religious beliefs.



Azilia: A puppet kingdom controlled by Ecclesia



Vellond: The dark elf state ruled by half vampires.

            Vellond is a united kingdom of Dark Elves.
            However it is not ruled by Dark Elves as the kingdom was united and is ruled by Half-Vampires and Vampires.
           
            It is ruled by King Valdemar and his son Leinhart, Count of Arein.
            Vellond's capital is Arein, having conquered it 5 years before the Encablossa War then re-conquering it when Regnier appeared.
           
            Vellond also took over Hexter as a tributary nation and uses Hexter in much of the tasks/wars they undertake.
            Vellond is a tumultuous albeit powerful nation as the Dark Elves resent being ruled by what they see as 'inferior' Half-Vampires.



Hexter: A country full of orc and ogre tribes, commonwealth of Vellond.

            The arid land in the south-east of Bersia where predominantly Ogres and Orcs live and originate from, and also where the War of Heroes took place as well as the Crusades.
            It is made up of 30 Orc and Ogre tribes of various size and strength. The strongest tribe in Hexter is the Gorzanik Tribe, lead by Urukbarr the Master of Eastern Hexter but is closely followed by The 
            Jurai, lead by Jubal the Black Anvil, who share the border with Hironeiden.

            After Valdemar's conquest of Vellond, he decided to focus his attention on Hexter, creating a Appeasement Plan, overseen by Leinhart, to take over Hexter as a province of Vellond.
            The plan which consisted of secretly supporting and arming the weakest tribe in Hexter, Darokha, which would absorb other tribes and create alliances with the other larger tribes, such as the Jurai. 
            After the failure of the Plan via Kaedes's interference in framing Vellond for the usage of Ghouls, and the subsequent deaths of the Vellond-Pro tribes by the now allied Gorzanik and Darokhan forces,

            Valdemar enlisted the help of Regnier to help take Hexter by force, which Regnier does within 2 months.
            Regnier rules Hexter as a ally of Vellond  with an amused tolerance unbefitting of a vassal. His command of the various Orcs and Ogres is impressive, and those races hold Regnier in a state of awe, 
            fear, and respect.

            Hexter is the site of most conflicts in Bersia, primarily due to the Altar of Destruction being within Hexter.



On a side not to anyone who has not played Kingdom Under Fire the Crusaders or Heroes, the Human kingdoms of Hironeiden and Ecclesia, most of their units are just variations of one another, meaning.
All light infantry wear the exact same armour type as their light cavalry.

Essentially there are only three armour types Light, Medium and Heavy, and that is the same armour worn by the Infantry, Cavalry and Archers and any other unit in terms of there class, whether it be Light, Medium or Heavy.

I will be speaking to team also in regards to whether we should release the mod in stages as we go along in the development process so that people can have a chance to play the conversion, hence the order in which the factions would be created in, if not, it doesnt really matter all that much in which order the factions are created in.

For the moment as this is just a requirement drive to get a team together to create this conversion for Mount and blade, all information and subject matter on this page is not fully representative of the final product.

Meaning, you are only getting a taste of what will be included in the conversion as I intend to add everything from Kingdom Under Fire into this total conversion, hence the total conversion.


What can I expect from this mod?

From here will be just a little piece of information on what armours and weapons will be in the game, which leaders will lead each faction and so forth just to give you a little piece of information as to what you can expect will be in this total conversion.

You will have to forgive the quality of some of these pictures as there are not many of them internet so I had to take pictures of most of the things while playing Kingdom Under Fire on the Xbox.
Obliviously taken a picture of a T.V does not render the best quality.

Due to the Kingdom Under Fire lore, even though Hexter and Vellond are two separate states they both use each-others units in-game because Hexter and Vellond are a apart of the Dark legion, however at this moment in time, Hexter and Vellond will have their own specific units, meaning Vellond will have only elves and Hexter will just have Orcs but this may change because we want to stick to the lore as much as possible, but just know that Vellond and Hexter will still be two separate factions in-game for the sake of gameplay.

Due to Mount and Blades game mechanics adding flying units such as Storm riders, Bomber Wings, Battaloons, Dirigibles, Black wyverns and Bone dragons may not yield the best results so they may not be added.

This list sit also includes Sappers, Catapults, Ballistas, Mortars, Scorpions and Swamp mammoths as applying them may not yield a satisfactory in-game result.

However this may change depending on the development teams thoughts on whether we can get the units to work smoothly and most of all correctly in-game.

Thank you for coming to check out my post, it did take me while to make and put together so I hope it looks ok for you all.

I really am looking forward to seeing if anyone want's to join me in putting together a team to create this conversion.

On that note, thank you all very much for taking a look and I hope to hear from anyone who is interested.

Happy gaming all :smile:
