Immersive Balance

This mod improves the game-balance while aiming for as little change to the core-mechanics as possible. It makes the general progression more gradual and eliminates factors that were responsible for overpowered end-game Characters. Furthermore it fixes some bugs and broken game-mechanics of the vanilla game. The overall focus is on making KCD more fun / engaging / challenging without undermining the general feeling that was intended by Warhorse-Studios.

Many of the changes made in the earlier versions of this Mod where implemented by the Developers themselves in the official patch 1. 3. Just to give you an idea how successful "Immersive-Balance" is in achieving its goal.

This Mod is viable independent of your progress. Wether you start a new game or want to use an existing save-file, you will be able to take full advantage of this mod.

Features:

Engaging and tactical combat

Overhauled balance of weapons and armor

Improved AI with fixes to group-fights, stealth and enemy-morale

Adjusted leveling to make PC-progress in different areas more gradual and balanced

Overhauled economy and Item-prices to make the acquisition of money more rewarding

Reworked RPG-mechanics like Nourishment, Exhaustion, Repairs and Dirt

Optional changes to the Targeting-system

Installation:

0. Delete the traces of old versions from the Data-folder and the user.cfg!

1. Download

2. Extract the contents of the .zip file into your "Mods" folder

- It now should look like this:

C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance\Mods\Immersive_Balance_v1. 4\Data\Immersive_Balance.pak

- If you cannot find the "Mods"-folder in the Root-directory, simply create it yourself

You don't need to make any adjustments in the user.cfg!

If you want the disabled Slow-Motion-Effect you'll have to install the Mod  No Mo' Slow Mo separately. Because the new folder-structure doesn't recognize defined CVar-Groups.

Troubleshooting:

You do not need to start a New Game to be able to use every feature.

If your game fails to load the modded files this can have mainly two reasons:

1 - You use other Mods that change the same .xml files (see the full list below)

=> you have to delete the .pak file of the other mod

2 - The game doesn't update it's library

        => Create a new game. Skip all the intros and finish the first dialog with Henry's mom.

           After that you can delete this save as you see fit and go back to playing your main savegame with the adjusted values.

Packaged files appear to be corrupted. Two reasons:

1 - Compatability

        => Always use the latest WinRAR version for my .rar Files. I am doing the Same.

2 - Download

        => If 1 doesn't help redownload the Files (preferably with LAN-cable) until it doesn't produce corrupted Files.
