"May those damned gods know that I, the mighty BloodethAxe hath struck and shall fight back. You petty fools gave gifts in hopes to calm our endless war but you did so to no avail! Ha! I laugh at your pitiful existence as I gain more blood by my axe of death."
-BloodethAxe Trosko Ragnar
"Ye gods have given us the gifts of power and intelligence so we shall use them wisely in this land of blood. Ragnar kills and ignores as you can tell from his land of holes. HAH! Just look at those arenas of his! Hmmm went off topic there... but i stand proud and i am one with the gods!"
-High Baron Graveth
IT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED -DUAL WIELD!-
I've just hit a major milestone. I was able to get dual wielding to work and hits to actually register. After several months of annoying ass work I've done it. Its currently still in progress because its not perfect as of now and I'm still trying to hammer out the bugs of course but it has been accomplished. I'm going to release it as a separate OSP mod later. Grats to me! I also hope the Taleworlds forumites will enjoy knowing this!
Story
The great god, Poer, stared down at the lands of Retrospect. The northern lands steemed with the power of hatred. Aye, thats where The unholy Axes of Dread were born. They defied the gifts of the gods and anihalated those who even look at them. Right now there on a conquest into the Lands of the Snowsprits. Poer grimaced at the thought of these beasts and then looked southward. Where the Barons of the Bears lie. They were the most holy of all the kingdoms in Retrospect. They accepted the gifts of the gods immediately and praised them nonestop. Poer just wished theyd stop defending and instead attack those unholy Axes. Poer searched the lands continously for that so called prophecy he heard of. Where a single light will shine. This light will be the savior of the lands of Retrospect. He will unify it through Treachery or honor. Then he saw the light... He looked closer and then noticed it as a long lost friend. You...
Lore Of The Lands
Retrospect, A land of hatred and love. A land of death and life. A land of war.
The Establishment Of War
Axes Of Dread
It all began in 278, Year of the Triades, when when the explorers from the northern lands of Vrgsail traveled down the forbidden penninsula. These were brave men that beleived in human control and so decided to brave the beasts in these forbidden lands. Weeks later all men that came were stock raving mad and quite on the bloodthirsty side, but they were not returning to their homeland, for they've already been walled off when scouts reported what happened. So these madmen established a kingdom and were later known as the Axes of Dread, Ruled by 453 Year old Bloodeth Axe Trosko Ragnar, The king of Death and Black Magic.

Created from wheat and water, essentials to their lifesytle, these men are Holy and Strong. Honored by the god Poer and the goddess Malya, These men are not only the first people to inhabit the lands of Retrospect but are also the most liked. The only problem with them is that they sit around defending there estates and feasting in multiple castles at a time, and because of this there men can be defeated with good tactics. They are commonly given gifts by the gods and are constantly in an abundance of supplies. They are civilized and sane, quite the counterpart to the Axes of Dread.

[size=24pt]SLAVE SYSTEM!!![/size]
Ive recently devised a new slave system to be implemented in Retrospect, its currently in progress.
Slaves are going to be a large economic standard in this mod considering all that can come from it! for full info look at the spoiler below.
SPOILER ALERT
Slave management skill- There is going to be a new skill called slave management. It increases amount of slaves your party can hold by 10 each level and the max skill level is 15. Along with slave management will come the ability to force your slaves to fight for your army in battles, make slaves of your prisoners, Use slaves as training (your soldiers attack them while they try to run away), Use slaves as a denar production force (each mining camp, lumber camp, salt mine, etc. can hold up to 200 of your slaves), give slaves to your kingdom for denar production for your factions treasury, and the ability to rent out slaves.
Slave renting- Slaves will be able to be rented out to lords and factions for a price set by you. you can also rent slaves for your self for a price randomized between 20-100 denars a week. Renting slaves will lower your honor by 1 each week. Slave renting can also be used to repair armors and weapons broken in battle and as morale booster for your men (female slaves only :p)
Faction/Kingdom Slaves- When a new game is started all the factions will have between 500-1000 slaves except for the Axes Of Dread (they start with 5000). These are slaves you put to work for your faction in "Slave Camps" near allied castles,towns. They generate denars for you considering how many slaves you have at work and these denars automatically go to your treasury. They also help protect your castles/towns but beware! they may lead a revolt and with lots of slaves come lots of enemies!
Slaves As Training- You can call out up to 100 slaves for your men to chase fight as trainig, this doesnt give as much experience as you traveling to a training field but this will be faster. You can also join this small battle and attack your slaves. Training your soldiers/you with slaves will decrease your honor by 5 considering this is a gruesome and evil task...
Slaves as Denar Production- You can assign slaves to work camps which are spread out on the map. (There are multiple kinds of camps) When assigned to a work camp Slaves will need some of your soldiers to guard them. (1 for every 5, this also applies for slaves you currently hold, and slaves in your kingdom) The slaves will produce denars on an equation of 10-25s a week. ("s" is number of slaves) Every week a caravan will be sent out from the slave camp to find you. The caravan may get attacked and never arrive deeming this as an ineffecient but easy denar productions.
Slave Morale Boost- 1f is the equation for slave morale boosting. ("f" is female slaves) this counts for however many female slaves your carrying. This is a good option for morale boost (automatic) but can be inefficient considering the low woman populations. This can also be used in you castles/towns if you put assign slaves in the prisons.
-GIVE ANY FEEDBACK ON THE SLAVE SYSTEM, ALL CRITICISM ALLOWED-
