Bring the Boys Home – No Endless Wars

Approved port of Jadawin’s Bring the Boys Home for Warhammer II.

This mod introduces a new feature to the game: war exhaustion. This value, based on the duration of the war and on how good is it going for the faction, is used to force AI to ask for peace once it has passed a threshold. This fixes a classic problem with the game where the AI will never ask for help even if it is on a serious disadvantage.

Althought based on the same code, this mod is not a direct port of Jadawin’s. All code has been refactored and some functionalities have been changed as considered. The main changes are the following:

• Added native support for all factions and races, even those that come from mods.
• Added support for AI to AI peace treaties.
• Added support for multiplayer campaigns.
• Added player customization via MCT: Thresholds for war duration, amount of battles, war exhaustion and minimum losses, as well as time between offers can be configured.
• Improved war exhaustion formula that takes into account war duration.

This is a work-in-progress port, so feel free to report your thoughts as much as possible. Warhammer III is quite different to II in some aspects, so every comment is welcome whatever it is about balance, configuration, new functionality or bringing old back.

The mod is prepared to work together with Groove Wizard’s MCT. If installed, you will be able to parametrise almost everything. Note that the AI behaviour options are not working at the moment.

• Is this mod compatible with SFO? Yes.
• Is this mod multiplayer/co-op ready? Yes.
• Is it compatible with X faction from Y mod? Yes, both for player and AI.
• Is it compatible with Surrender Before Death? Yes, they are different things.
• Is it savegame compatible?Yes, but it will not track past wars, so war exhaustion will start going up after the turn you install the mod.
