This mod is my attempt to create a comprehensive game play overhaul for Kingdom Come Deliverance that maximizes depth and difficulty. It contains most of my previous mods as well as a great deal of new material in a single package. Blood and Iron is harsher than most other mods for KCD. It will make early game play much more difficult and keeps it challenging throughout so it is recommended for those who have already completed a play-through and developed some skill with it.
PLEASE NOTE: As BIO now includes a perk system it is ideally used with a new game. When using with a saved game you can reset your perk points by drinking a Lethean Water potion.
Reviews Welcome: If you do a video or print review of this mod please let me know so I can link it here.
Translations Welcome: If you want to make a translation of the english.xml files into another language I would be very happy to include them in future updates.
Compatible Mods: If you have made or know of any mods specifically made (or with versions or patches specifically made) to work with Blood and Iron Overhaul please let me know so I can contact the authors and ask to provide a link to them on this page for the convenience of BIO users.
