Knight at Arms
Hi everyone,
The last few days, I played AoB again and I thought to update the mod. The beta had some flaws and I decided to polish it up with all kinds of changes.
The full version of Wars of Europe (for Mount & Blade version 1.011 on the 26th of November) has been released! More updates (more troops etc.) will be released on other dates in patch forms or in full version downloads.
Features:
- The mod will still have the original ideas/ways as Bjorne wanted it to be: fast combat and lots of damage. Deadly combat to be exact!
- Fixed accuracy! Every firearm will have a slight change to represent its use (rifle has faster reload etc.). However, the damage that each weapon inflicts is the same. Why? Well, once you edit damages, the hard-coded M&B system comes in the way and spoils the fun. Better to have balanced accuracy and damage, rather than heavy damage to inflict nothing, because of the screwed up accuracy!
- Factions are balanced out and will have a few new units to recruit. Russians are tempered now!
- Bigger starting party.
- Able to recruit more troops from villages (max. 26 men per village).
- Be the commander over allied troops, even if you're not their leader or marshall. (This is to avoid the allied AI to rush forward or do stupid tactical decisions.)
- A few retextures of items and equipment.
- Few new horses with beautiful textures of saregona!
- New bandits as in more variations in equipment. Rebelling peasants will look more...peasant like for example.
- New banners add-on integrated and a few other add-ons are put in.
- Integration of sound-fix I made to avoid that Vista users and such don't encounter problems.
- Siege warfare is slightly better with the integration of NICK.ALTMAN's Siege Pack.
- More musket sound variation!
- Vibrant world textures thanks to the Colourful Textures mod of WestNordOst!
- Dozens of new troops and mercenaries! (see list below)
