I made a Discord!

I'm apologize for the crappy graphics in the screenshots. I'm testing the mod on a notebook.


Description
This is the successor of my Reloaded submod. I received permission from DrThomas (one of the leading devs of 1257AD) to redistribute the whole 1257AD project. So i decided to release a new version with the current update containing all of 1257AD in one package.


Features
  • Custom Troop Trees
  • KAOS Political KIT (Start as King, Prince or Vassal).
  • Troop Ratio Bar in battles.
  • Player can inspect troop and prisoner equipment.
  • Bodyguards in scenes.
  • Player actions in sieges and raids
  • Cavalry that loses their horses becomes infantry
  • Change your kingdom culture and thus your troops, reinforcements and fief scene guards (you couldn't before, just the religion).
  • Fully translated party and troop names.
  • Balanced troop stats.
  • Increased bolt quiver capacity to 40-45.
  • Factions will spawn scouts, patrols, foragers, war parties, mercenary companies.
  • New party spawns: rogue mercenary companies, fugitive serfs and rebels (beefed up peasant rebels)
  • Faction resurrection implemented.
  • Player can kill prisoners, excluding lords.
  • NPC lords will train their parties daily with trainer skill just like player does.
  • Always choose side when joining battles.
  • Post-battle kill count. See example here
  • Game menus to change various things like party sizes and merchant respawn rates and item count.
  • Player gains renown if he kills enough enemies in a battle (every 5 kills = +1 renown).

  • Added bounty quests to tavern keepers. The fugitives and the gold reward are random and based on archetypes (knights, pirates, deserters, etc).

  • Added "Sending troops from your party to any walled fief you own" tweak.
  • Added Doghotel's Brainy Bots. Press F5 during battle to bring a menu to adjust the settings.
  • Increase world map battle speed by 3x. Also increased siege defender bonus strength to 30% from 23%, while decreasing siege attacker strength penalty to 30% from 23%. This should provide more realistic battles and sieges with the attackers losing a equal amount or 10-30% more.
  • Balanced companions. They got buffed and each have different skills and proficiencies depending on their culture.
  • Added some HD textures from vanilla Warband (most notably the skyboxes).

  • Various messages now have different colors depending if what they say is positive or negative.
  • Plenty of changes to a few scripts and lots of simple triggers using the Viking Conquest format that shall provide pretty significant boosts to world map performance.
  • Added new death animations from the Shogun Sengoku Jidai 0.70 mod.
  • Lords will randomly build improvements on their fiefs once a week if their wealth is high enough.[/url]
  • Added option to chancellor chat that allows player to pay weekly compensation to landless vassals instead of losing relations (2000 gold per vassal). More details in changelog.[/url]
  • Modified faction thinking process when deciding who to declare war to. Factions of the same religion are less likely to engage each other IF there's another faction in the
  • proximity that doesn't share the same faith.
  • Implemented some Viking Conquest .ini settings thats should improve mod loading times.
  • Added a new "surprise" in the arena.

  • Ladders take 2 times less to build.
  • Deserters/Bandits will now ask for a amount based on player inventory trade goods value and not total wealth .
  • Player ransom amount no longer tied to amount of money he has. It's now 100 gold per level (300 if you're king).
  • A message will be displayed when arrows are refilled during sieges.
  • Knight orders that couldn't upgrade (all of them except teutonic) serjeants/half brothers can now upgrade to knights.
  • Village elders will receive a random (and small) amount of money at game start.
  • Information about lords fiefs (or lack thereof) will be displayed alongside their names when choosing to give a fief to them.
  • Player king can now choose which fief he wants to take (before you could only choose a fief preselected by order of importance).
  • Removed shaders that caused things to glow white. But mb.fx must be removed from the 1257AD folder for this to take effect.
  • Player can now restore Roman Empire if starting as ruler of Roman Empire of Nicaea (due to a missing check this was only possible if the player was a vassal).
  • Crusader parties are now more varied (e.g. euro crusaders, scandinavian crusaders, etc).

  • Throwing weapons now do piercing damage but damage decreased.
  • Vanilla sounds are now used for man's death, hit and yell sounds in battle.
  • Nerfed horse archers and horse throwers.
  • Increased maximum number of tournament being held at once to 8 from 3 and increased the chance of them happening to 30% from 6%.
  • Removed wage cap from player town controlled garrisons (it was 10.000). Now it's 30% of what the total cost of the garrison is. Should help those having issues paying for garrisons if their max cap has been set to lower numbers than default.

  • Modified armor penetration/damage reduction values in module.ini
  • Reduced time that takes for released lords to respawn with a party to 3 days (it was a week).
  • Player party will consume half the food required if stationed in a walled fief. This is to simulate the player paying for accommodation with food included.
  • Player will always go visit a fief mounted (if he has a horse of course).
  • Player can ask companions to go in diplomatic missions directly without talking to a minister first.



Bugfixes
  • Indictment Spiral Fix
  • Fixed manor bug (copies of player scattered across the place).
  • Fixed some troop name misspellings.
  • Fixed Venice having Iberian culture instead of Italian.
  • Fixed some troops being incorrectly assigned to horse archer/archer category at game start.

  • Fixed a bug that caused a huge amount of unnecessary calculations during battle.
  • Fixed companion dialogue related to giving a fief and making him a lord.
  • Added missing exit option "Never mind" to companion's "let me ask you something".
  • Added native bugfixes from Floris.
  • Fixed spears breaking even if weapon break option was turned off.
  • Fixed ranged troops not firing properly at targets. This helps greatly in sieges where before they ended up shooting the walls most of the time.
  • Fixed besieging archers stalling in ladders/ramps and blocking the flow of troops. They will also use their ranged weapons whenever possible.
