[S] Warring States II - Released 15 Oct 2010

[Familyguy1]

Mod is great. A few text stuff i noticed. For the Nagita(whatever the name is) Retainers, it should just be Retainer, since that is the plural of a position, also the same with Samurais- should be samurai. Its like Deer- it is not Deers, just Deer because Deer signifies either a single Deer or a multitude of Deer. Just wanted to clarify on that.

 

[Benkasim]

Thanks for the feedback, Guys...

The new module system is out. I will be sure to port over soon. I did a glance through the newer module system.. it is good.

 

[Benkasim]

Released very minor fix on Talk to Guildmaster in Town Menu.. I disabled it... Savegame compatible...

I compiled it under the old module system. Haven't had time to test the newer module system.

 

[Adorno]

It worked.

 

[Benkasim]

I welcome Kipponium as a new coder to the mod.

We will have 40 new and interesting companions, each with his/her own background story, perks and rivals. These are not cut and paste companions from the base 16 companions, each companion will be carefully developed as to fit into the storyline. So watch out for them.

 

[Benkasim]

I welcome any suggestion for new faction..I am short of ideas on what to create. (I need 10 more)

Do include some background info on the faction and how it fit into Caldaria. Caldaria as we know now will be further fragmented into smaller factions so we will have about 18 factions when it is done.

Names of Kingdom King and his 12 Lords. Names of 12 Ladies. Faction Units & Equipment

If it is interesting enough, I may include it in the new version. However, I reserve the right to modify it so as to game balance it but full credit will be given to you..

Thanks

You can use some of the names from the book I'm writing.

Here they are:
Hemmark (Viking Raiders)
The Rondano Empire (Japanese people)
The Caliphate of Inculta (desert warriors)
The Kingdom of Vermonde (like the French)
The Deframir Empire (a bit like the Vaegirs)
The Republic of Kardia
Hviterike (ice men)
The Kralovalka Empire (Russians)
The Kingdom of Arrion (resembles the swadians)

 

[polydamas]

The mod is pretty awesome. I just have 1 suggestions. how about adding in a way so lords can die in battle and other situations, and have a NPC generator that could produce new lords at periodical times such as every couple months. or this could create opportunities for other characters to gain power. its just a thought.

 

[Adorno]

Caldaria as we know now will be further fragmented into smaller factions so we will have about 18 factions when it is done.

Sounds like the mod is being completely redone. Any story behind it? Will it still be Calradia/Caldaria?
I have a humble request of a bandit faction.

 

[Benkasim]

My mistake.. it should be Calradia..Many years after the formation of the Freecity of Aran, the great kingdom of Swadia almost dominated the entire continent until the King suddenly contracted a fever and died. After that, Swadia splintered into many smaller kingdoms. A demagogue from Veluca rebelled and started his own army near the border of the Sarranid Sultanate. Beyond the desert, cometh a new kingdom led by the ousted general Salem Ben Uhak. Graime, the Grey rose to infamy as the bandit king who rallied the brigands and thugs together to merrily loot the trade routes of Calradia..

Yes..there will be a bandit faction (I think there is another mod with a bandit faction but sure why not have it too)

WOuld you like to suggest the troop units? I am interested to know more..

 

[polydamas]

Hey, if you like any of those kingdom names I gave you let me know and I'll provide the lords, ladies, and king.

 

[Adorno]

Nice to see a story evolve here.
I hadn't really thoght about a troop tree, but what about:
thug/looter > mugger > brigand/bandit > highwayman > plunderer etc.

Can you provide more details on the people, kings and knights..it is either 20 knights/20 ladies if it is a major faction or 12 knights/12 ladies if it is minor but upcoming faction. Minor factions have 8 knights and 8 ladies. If it is possible and you have free time and interest, do provide troop unit tree and details. Thanks. I would personally love to play the mod with these factions in place...

It will be your game as well as mine, Adorno. Feel free to be creative here. I will add them in once they are fleshed out. Maybe you would like to throw in a companion or two belonging to the faction.

All the native faction troops will be as they are..so we will only tweaked the newer factions.. It is more fun and give respect to the original creator(s) of the factions (by leaving them untouched)

Alright, I'll work on it.

Note to self

Hemmark (minor)
Hviterike (minor)
Kingdom of Arrion (mid-major)
Caliphate of Inculta (major)

 

[Benkasim]

I can create a few castles and towns if you wish but do let me know where you would like them to be.. use the existing map for reference. I dont know how to create new land so we have to make do with the current map. Also we can take some towns and castle from existing factions and give them to the new factions..

Explanation for units

隐藏

Stor Jeger- An elite hunter. Light armor still, a better bow, a throwing spear, and an axe.
Verdige Baug Jeger- An elite bowman.

Description of People

隐藏

A good man to the people of Hviterike is a man who proves himself in the hunt. The hunters survive through harsh conditions and sometimes hunt for days on end without rest. These men are tough and a worthy opponent even if ill-equipped.

Average Unit Armor

隐藏

For the Jeger tree it is all fur. Milits wear gambesons. Krigeren start to wear armor. In my book, they would mostly just wear fur, but their is only one type of fur armor in the game and it would boring if they all wore the same thing.

 

[Earende]

I wonder. Maybe an all female faction? Well, majority female (unmarried ); say a splinter faction of the Kingdom of Nords. Matheld comes into mind, or simply remove her as a companion and making her a ruler.

Peasant -> Men Recruit (0 cost immediate upgrade [gender selection]) -> Copies of Nord (melee/range) / Swabia (range) foot units
              -> Women Recruit (same as above) -> Shield and sword foot units -> Valkyrie ( polearm [warhammer/poleax] and sword-wielding girl power)
                                                                      -> Crossbow foot units

Location would probably be coastal and between Praven and Thir; closer to Praven.
