VERSION 10​

This version was released for full compatibility with BATTLETECH v1. 6. Therefore, you need to make sure that a clean install of this mod is done.

There have been multiple requests for a consolidated ModPack incorporating a lot of interesting changes and making sure that they integrate well together. The goal of this project is to accomplish just that! This ModPack takes a number of popular mods and combines them seamlessly - it endeavors to be a one stop shop for users that will contain the most updated mods from multiple users. It also adjusts values when necessary and modifies .json files to make sure they all play well together and support each other well.

Most notably, this ModPack is a community effort! Please suggest features and mods to be added and feel free to jump in with ideas or to help out. 

The goal of this ModPack:​

This ModPack attempts to make you feel like you are in charge of an entire company of mechs instead of just controlling a 4-6 mechs and pilots. It attempts to adhere to the vanilla feel of the game when possible while forcing you to make difficult financial and mech choices along the way. It makes you have to drop with partially repaired mechs, have multiple pilots ready to go into battle at any time, and makes you have to take a careful look at your finances.

Also added are a number of game balance options along with some really awesome, lore appropriate, mech and vehicle diversity!

Major Gameplay Changes​

Cosmetic and Gameplay Notes

  • []Mech movement speed increased by 1. 5x. They do not move further, they just get their slightly faster.

    []Due to some funny math with MechTech calculations I ended up multiplying all MechTech values by 1,000. The values are still the same, but now everything works properly!

    []Many new LORE AND TIME APPROPRIATE mechs and vehicles added to stores and campaigns. These are utilized by the AI. See JK_Variants in the mod list up above very more information.

    Company Commander

    In order to ensure that you need more mechs and pilots throughout the game and feel more like you are in charge of a Company of mechs and pilots changes have been made to make you utilize more mechs and pilots throughout the course of the campaign. It also endeavors to make acquiring new mechs more rewarding and increase (slightly) the difficulty and excitement of early game.

    New starting Mechs

    [*]Now you start with a randomized assortment of mechs. 5 light
