SP Native [WB] Alternative Calradia Mod - Version 2 released!

[GunFred]

Will it have PBOD?

I have considered it. At first I thought it was a bit too much but it sure has some awesome features which I bet a lot of people can not play without anymore. So if people want to, I can take a look at it.

 

[ZeroFighterR]

This looks really interesting,

I will keep an eye on this.

 

[10thgaming]

I made a few banners for those who want to show support. I may make more later but for now I felt I should focus on other stuff. Many thanks to 10thgaming for inspiring me and showing me how to make them. Also thanks to dcoold for telling 10thgaming about me. 

 

[FinnishKnight]

So excited for the mod, when is it coming out

 

[Medlico]

When it's ready.

 

[Cherek Lycanus]

Im Loving It!

My Congrats for the Work. May you tell us, the Release date?

 

[GunFred]

I really wish I could give a set date but I would not dare. Optimistically sometime in July maybe.

 

[Bremmelgod]

I think that some factions like Swadia, the Vaegirs or the Sarranids should have some shielded infantry.

Also, are necromancers the same than liches but weaker in stats?

Thanks, I appreciate ideas and suggestions. 

Swadia: Originally swadian infantry had shields but having shields, swords and polearms became a mess with the AI when I wanted them to be mainly polearm infantry so I removed swords and shields. So when the archers got their crossbows back (originally they had bows) I gave them shields to compensate for the infantry and distinguish them from rhodok crossbowmen. Also, swadian cavalry got shields and they are good on both foot and horse so they can easily act as heavy shield infantry.

Vaegir: They only have one infantry troop which is a hybrid bow and polearm type. The cavalry all got shields though.

Sarranid: They already have shielded infantry though.

Necromaners: Pretty much the same yes, except that they trade stats for unkillable status

 

[Bremmelgod]

Sorry, didn't mean to add Sarranids there.

 

[GunFred]

I got working scripts now that allows troops to increase the skills of the player, giving them a non-combat purpose.

So before I start assigning troop effects I thought I would see if anyone wants to give me their personal opinions of which troops should have which effects. What I can do right now is to make a certain number of a certain troop give a certain amount of increase of the player's skills or party size. I could make ordinary troops increase skills as well but for the moment I only planned to make special troops have any effects. I would also like to hear if there are any new special upgraded/unupgraded special troops/mercenaries I should add.

Example

Spoiler

1 Hersir, Paladin and/or Ranger = 1 Surgery
3 Hersir, Paladin and/or Ranger = 2 Surgery
6 Hersir, Paladin and/or Ranger = 3 Surgery
10 Hersir, Paladin and/or Ranger = 4 Surgery
15 Hersir, Paladin and/or Ranger = 5 Surgery

All undead troops currently increases party size by 1 which means they do not take up any party slot.

Also, I have added screenshots and information about Khergit Centaurs and Barbarian Scavengers. I added them into their faction military section which is were you have to look if you are interested.

I type their code names which are nearly the same as their ingame names to make it easier to copy into the scripts.

Current special and mercenary troops.

I didn't know that was possible. 
Pretty awesome though, and I think the stats you gave them for now are fine 

 

[Cherek Lycanus]

My Question.

How will be the Elephant on the Battlefield? Should the Mod Use Iron Launcher? or The size will be the same as a Horse & Rider? Can they get Hit when you charge against them with a Cavalry Spear?

Sugestion: We all need (?) Barbarian Banners!

Mis saludos!

 

[Bremmelgod]

I tested riding elephants in another mod, and it was:
-Hard to do a proper couched lance hit
-Hard to see (But this elephant, telling from screenshots, probably won't have the same problem)
-Almost impossible to use a melee weapon, but with this one, it probably will be impossible.
-Not so hard to use a long lance, this one probably will be a bit easier.
-Not really hard to shoot with a bow.
-Really easy to run over infantry and do charge damage.

 

[LazySteve]

You should add some very special very rare Buffer type of troops that increase the Powerstrike/Powerdraw/Ironflesh skills of all allied troops (and yourself) on the battlefield

 

[FinnishKnight]

Realy unique thing would be a Chariot as a mount 

 

[GunFred]

Sorry for the late reply guys. It was hard to find the time.

I WISH I could do that.

I do not know how to make troops that increases skills for npc. It would be cool to have scripts though to make some troops caste enchantments or trigger abilities like bless or berserk. For now it remains a very humble mod when it comes to magic.

No Iron Launcher and I may take the time to make a Barbarian Horde banner.

Regarding elephants: I will be busy during most of the weekend but I will when I can, post detailed description of how they work right now in the mod when I get the time.

Did you try giving the infantry a one handed polearm and a shield?

Do you mean the swadian infantry? They are inspired my medieval english infantry. Bills and stuff, and one handed polearms would make them hoplite types which does not suit them very well.

 

[FinnishKnight]

The only mod where i have seen Chariots is Wedding Dance, i iwsh they where in this too but im afraid their quite difficult to get to work and make to mods 

 

[Theoren]

I only found out about this mod today but I must give my compliments to GunFred, I really like what I've read so far and see regarding the mod's setting.

I'd also like to second the already mentioned PBOD, the troop trees look perfect for a more tactical approach, gameplay-wise I think the mod would benefit from it and give it more depth in battles.
