------- New mod means new save, or at least backup your old one --------- 

My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfNjNE-srAtDnygKokzqZSQ (It's a work in progress)

Now available on Steam Workshop:

Mod is primarily updated on the steam workshop, please go there for latest version

I will also be primarily watching the steam workshop file so it's the best place to contact me

-----------------------------------------

----======== Medieval Times =========---- 

New maps created will possess at least 3 new settlements; 2 medieval societies and 1 medieval warband. societies are similar to outlander towns, warbands are similar to raiders in terms of functionality. 

Mod is focused primarily on medieval era items, buildings and equipment, some other additions where added for context/fun such as the "Charge-10 MG" made famous by Robo-Wilis. 

Mod was heavily inspired by the works of; "IshOfTheWoods", "Shinzy" and various other modders. 

This mod started as a personal mod combining "Ish's Medieval" and Shinzy's "Norbals", however it's current incantation does not use any of the assets or coding from either, all the coding should be using core files as a base for it's coding. if you notice anything creeped in let me know. 

============================================================================== 

Dev Notes: ------------------------------------------------------ 

- How to enable a mod? - When in game at the main menu, go to the [mods] section and ensure that Medieval Times is green checked (enabled) 

- Most mods, if you remove them outright after saving with the mod active, will leave your save-game "broken". Because of this, it is always recommended to do a new save when trying out mods or adjusting your mod lineup. 

- In order for the factions to appear in-game you need to start a new save as the factions are created at the map-generation stage. 

- Save-buster Updates are generally reserved for Alpha Updates, if one occurs a Notice will be placed beforehand. 

- Help, You're save buster broke my save! 
~> Legacy versions of the mod are available here at the nexus, simply download and install the old version and you can still play the last alpha of this mod. Keep in mind though, legacy versions will be missing many of the cool new features and items newer versions have.

- If you want to remove embrasures from the mod, you can do so via the: New Game ~> Scenario Editor ~> Add Part ~> Disallow Building. Simply select embrasures. (Note: The embrasures in this mod are not your typical embrasures as they can eventually be scaled, meaning enemies will fire at you from the other side) 

- Medieval Times does not remove any core content such as guns from the game, it merely expands upon it. 

-Winter Cloaks and cloaked items meant to act as medieval style replacement for parka's, Yes they look cool, but their primarily meant as winter wear so warbands dont freeze to death while raiding your ice-castle. As such wearing Winter Cloaks in hot enviroments will always lead to heat stroke. 

------------------------------------------------------- 

-- On the Topic of Overhaul / Removing guns / factions / Creating alternative versions / Compatability Patches / Piecemealed Items ------- 

I'm considering an overhaul. However, you have to realize that doing that means cutting a whole swath of content from the game, if your going to do that you need to replace it with something else. 

While this mod does have alot, i dont think it has enough(at least not yet) to justify a full overhaul. If i do one eventually, it will be after I've made more content for this mod, enough to justify an overhaul and it would have to be a seperate mod/download. 

Maintaining two mods would require more time and mean that i'd have less time to update / finish this one. With the game in early-access their is still alot of work to be done in terms of future updates. Every update means that every mod i have out needs to be individually updated for the new alpha. (which w/ tynan can occur monthly in some cases) 

so my thought process is make one mod, make it good, keep it up to date, than once the game is stable / "finished" and once my mod is stable / "finished" i can look at all the things like peicemealed items, compatability patches, extra mods, overhaul versions, ect. 

this mod itself isnt finished or polished or fully balenced, It has a long way to go on getting it right and that should be done before I consider other projects. 

alotta mods and projects get started great, but than never get finished, or they never make it to the end line in terms of early-access mods. I figure if i stay commited to the cause of one, the chances of making the end-line are simply better. 

Once this mod is "done" first re-iteration will probably be the Overhaul, after which id consider other iterations and compatability patches. 

In summary, Its a whole lotta work, maybe in the future, but definitly not right now. 

============================================================================= 

Mod Conflicts: ------------------- 

Mod should play nice with other mods.

If their are any big/important mods that this is incompatible with (as in non-functioning) let me know and i can prolly make a compatibility patch for em at a later date (after this mod is finished (Combat realism is noted and on the list)) 

============================================================================
