The End Times

The End Times is a complete overhaul which aims to find realism in fantasy. All units are now usable throughout the game, with the AI recruitment reworked to be aware of this. Sweeping ai changes have also been made in campaign and in battle and are used to make the game more difficult, despite the difficulty settings not giving as many AI buffs. NEW FACTIONS 2 new factions have been added, playable in campaign if you use Mixu’s Unlocker and always available in custom battles and MP. Skeggi has an all new roster with a mixture of Norscans, Lizardmen, Humans and Dwarfs with a mixture of equipment just as varied. The Decadent host is a new faction for Sigvald, a norscan faction with a hybrid roster of chaos and Norsca with a smaller monstrous component and larger infantry one. NEW UNITS New units have been added, some like Sergeants available for whole Races and others like Knights of the White Wolf only available to specific subfactions, giving some variety to which faction you choose within a race. Bordeleux and the Cult of Pleasure for example have a very different feel to their counterparts. WHAT TO EXPECT Strategy is emphasised both in battle and campaign - the ai is more likely to flank you and use cavalry in a much more effective way so you’ll need to plan ahead for that. Ranged units are much less accurate and have much flatter trajectories so management of those is a greater part of battle, using them at the front of an army or on the flanks is now much more common than as a back row, which is reserved for hills. Every unit is restatted to a different scale so the units that seem vastly better may well be a similar power level, dont be too alarmed when you see the stats at first, they make sense when you adjust to the scaling. Some units also have adjusted arms and armour, and perform a different role to in the vanilla game, so watch out for those FATIGUE Fatigue is rebalanced and makes a greater impact, especially to charge and attack. Units tire faster, but
