📋 About This Mod

This mod is similar to my Sword and Shield Viking Conquest mod in the sense that it overhauls gameplay, see my long description for more info.

The wall of text

A brytenwalda overhaul that uses brytenwalda repolished as the base module. Since this is not a dlc but a mod, I get to upload the whole file and make installing it much easier!

Version-This is based off brytenwalda Repolished which is based off Brytenwalda special edition 1. 41

Purpose and design focus-This mod keeps most of brytenwalda's original goals and ideals as a mod, but changes the gameplay to be more brutal and realistic. I learned some modding lessons with my sword and shield mod, and so I've tried with this mod to maintain a well balanced game gameplay wise while keeping the hardcore and historical aspects of Brytenwalda.

Installation Guide-Find your M&B Warband modules folder, typically program files (x86 if you have a 64 bit PC)-Steam-SteamApps-Common-MountBlade Warband-Modules, once in the modules folder place my mod inside of it, launch warband and select it in the middle upper box in the launcher.

This is a standalone module so Brytenwalda saves or Brytenwalda Repolished Saves will not work with this.

The big changes

There has been a complete stat rebalance, I did this as I was tired of the hack and slash of vanilla Brytenwalda. The combat is more brutal and based on the player's actual skill and not statistics.

Weapons have been changed cost wise and sometimes damage wise to suit how much they costed historically.

Tunics and other clothing no longer cost hundreds of schillings, because what peasant would pay 300 shillings for tunic?

Several changes to troop tree inventories

Weapons and their prices

Spears-Dominant weapons at the time, spears have proven reliable and deadly throughout history until guns came along. Spears now do more pierce and cut damage, peasants and farmers also carry low quality spears. Overhaul spears are reliable weapons and their cheap so it can be worth specializing into pole arms.

Axes-Some peasants carry axes, small cheap hatchets though. These weapons are effective and can even pierce mail. Axes have been the AK-47 of modern times through history, reliable, cheap, deadly, but with it's downsides. Axes are slow, can be parried easily, and axemen can be killed by spearmen easily if at a distance. Axes make great secondary weapons, and excellent weapons for a shield wall, but not the best in open combat. Gameplay wise I didn't change much except price, they were well balanced in vanilla.

Swords-The classic and noble sword is a very effective weapon for killing peasants, soldiers, and nobles, so anyone really. Not much changes mod wise, I changed the damage on some because swords are easy to obtain and way to effective for when you get them. Not really any changes in price, swords weren't commonly used or brought by soldiers or peasants un
