📋 About This Mod
I was always annoyed with the fact that the Battle Standard item was presented as an ambition, you're made to work toward it (not that hard, admittedly), and then it ends up being an item that quickly falls by the wayside in effectiveness due to the low damage and single skill. I've always felt it should be on par with the Pike, and so that is what I have done. The tweak is pretty minor (it just matches the Pike's damage and fatigue values), but it's something I wanted for myself and figured I would share it with the community.
Attribute Changes
The following (player) Battle Standard stats have changed:
-
[]50 - 70 Damage dealt
[
]-15 Fatigue-
[]60 - 80 Damage dealt
[
]-14 FatigueI did not carry over the +5% to hit head from the Pike, as I didn't feel like it made sense.
Installation
Move "mod_better_battle_standard.zip" into your Battle Brothers data folder as-is (no need to unzip it).

Other Information

This mod alters the following file "scripts\items\tools\player_banner.cnut", and will probably conflict with another mod making changes to that file (unlikely).

This mod upgrades the Battle Standard from ambition goals to match the Pike's damage and fatigue values, and adds the Repel skill. It's a small balance tweak for players who want the standard to be a viable weapon option.
