Better Enemy - Champion and Vanilla Overhaul

v4. 0. 0 - The Curve Was Broken. It Is Fixed.

A bug switched off everything that grows with the calendar. If you played 3. 0. 0 or earlier, you have not seen this mod yet.

Battle Brothers stops scaling enemy strength around day 250. This mod carries it out to day 400.

Nothing changes before day 100.

What it does

• []Warbands grow. Capped at 24 in the field, 40 at camps, and never fewer than six. One switch makes those caps follow your company size instead.[/]

  []Low tier troops are replaced by higher tier ones. No more day 400 city watchmen in cloth.[/]

  []Champions become common late, with real names and several unique items each. They take half of this mod's stat bonuses and none of its defence, because vanilla already raises them once.[/]

  []Armour and helmets climb through better tiers.[/]

  []79 unit types gain perks in a hand written order, and the AI actually uses the active ones.[/]

  []Each faction grows its own way, and not always upward. Goblins get faster but flimsier, orcs get tougher but slower, the undead stop caring about fatigue entirely.[/]

  []Attack, defence, hitpoints, stamina and resolve rise with the calendar.[/]

  []Kill XP rises to 6x, so late fights are still worth winning.[/]

  []Camp and party rewards rise to 20x,  so late camps are still worth clearing.[/]

  []Goblin and orc camps can drop named gear from day 200. The chance and the quality both climb with the calendar.[/]

  []Late enemies carry faction sidearms: nets, named throwing weapons, berserker mushrooms.[/]

  []The Hexe can no longer charm and hex every single turn.[/]

  []With Veterancy installed, the Glacier Direwolf line comes alive - stats, skills and AI live here.[/]

  []With Veterancy installed, camps drop its crafting materials. Which ones depends on the faction and the size of the camp.[/]

  Unique items only drop if they survived the fight in good shape. Beat a champion down through his armour and the armour breaks with him. Take his head off cleanly and it is yours.

  Difficulty

  Every difficulty runs on the same calendar. Only the ceiling moves.

  Requirements

  • []Modding Script Hooks[/]

    []MSU 1. 9. 0 or newer[/]

    Not compatible with Legends or Reforged. Safe to add to an existing save, safe to remove.

    Glacier Direwolf

    Requires Veterancy. The hunt, the events, the den and the items are over there. This mod holds the animals themselves - their stats, their skills and the way they fight. Neither half does anything alone.

    A mother, her escorts, and a male that only shows up at the end. She howls once and the pack moves. He charges from six tiles out, breaks the line, and steps away through the snow when he is boxed in.

    They pick their targets like animals, not like soldiers. Vanilla enemies weigh armour and hitpoints. These weigh how much punishment a man can actually absorb, whether they can land a hit on him at all, and how much he would hurt them if he lived. An archer in leather dies first. The shieldman holding the wall is the last thing they care about - and if two men look equally soft, the one holding the bigger weapon goes first.

    They ignore the calendar. Everything else in this mod scales; these three are hand tuned and take nothing from the curve. Difficulty still lowers their hitpoints, damage and resolve, but never their action points - the way they move is the point of them.

    Crafting Materials

    Requires Veterancy. Its trade goods now drop from camps as well as sitting in shops, so a camp is worth clearing for what it holds rather than what it sells for.

    What can drop depends on the faction and how large the camp is. A hideout gives less than a fortress, and the expensive materials only open up at the top.
