Even if you don’t like the mod you are welcome to give your constructive feedback.
For clearence: this mod does not unlock anything that is vanilla but creates a new faction!
This mod is based on the idea of Matt Carmack’s "Order of Solland", a Teutonic Order themed army book, and my personal interesst in the historic Teutonic Order.
If you want to read further information about the army book check out the credits section for a link.
The content added by this mod is not part of the Warhammer-lore and aside from some historic references completly fictional.
I. What does this mod do?
In the future the mod should do what it did in Warhammer 2: completly overhaul a faction and make in playable.
With the current version you will get the Order of Solland as new playable faction for custom battles and multiplayer battles.
The units are all set in the Medieval time and are coloured by Medieval 2 Total War vibes. Like Ritterbrüder (Knights Brothers), Schwertbrüder (Swordbrothers), Pavise Arabalists (Crossbowmen) and many more. I keep some of the names in german language/writing since they are titles or names.
This mod also add a new lore, the Lore of Terror and combine the lores of Death with Beasts and the Lore of Shadows with Beasts for the mages of Solland. You also get the Black Monk, a new agent subtype with a new mechanic which will help you on your crusade.
II. What does this mod version not do?
– no kind of campaign integration in any form (implementing units or lords/heroes, buildings etc)
– all vanilla factions stay as they are
III. The Future
Of course I pan to port the WH2 version of this mod completly over to WH3 but at this point it is not possible to edit vanilla factions in that way that is needed for this mod.
As soon as it is possible (and I have the time) I will work on this port: Lords and heroes, new buildings, Solland as "new" playable faction and other campaign mechanics.
The complete overhaul mod will arrive AFTER the Immortal Empires release as a NEW mod here on the workshop – more information will follow when the time comes.
– textures might not work very well since I had do redo them all
– some models might looking wierd due to missing/false textures
– banner of Ostland is changed to the one of Solland in the campaign
– some of the generated lods (level of detail) are not perfect, since the game reduces them far ealier then as in WH2
–> for some of the models I don’t created these diefferent lod, so the models will be rendered in any distance
——-> it is possible that this costs a bit more of performance then the vanilla models
– there are NO game-breaking bugs/issues known so far
