Battles In Bast
In Kenshi, Bast is generally described as a warzone between the Holy Nation and the United Cities. Though often when traversing through Bast, I only find small skirmishes here and there.
This mod attempts to make Bast into a more contested and lively battlefield with a simple solution: Add more combatants.
Holy nation and United City squads in Bast now have way more troops and diversity; scouting parties, raiding parties, small elite squads, massive divisions of warriors lead by captains and even assasins attempting to get behind enemy lines by sneaking through the raging battlefield.
Additionally, All minor squads that previously roamed into Bast such as Cannibals, Drifters, Rebel Farmers and Escaped Slaves have been removed, as well as possible Wolf Den nests. This is to encourage squad spawning of the two major faction powers, and in a lore setting enforces just how much carnage and bloodshed is spilled in bast, being almost intraverseable and unliveable even for wildlife.
WARNING:
The squads that spawn in Bast are absolutely MASSIVE. Specifically, the Colossal war parties from both the HN and UC can possibly reach 400+ combatants per party. Please know that by downloading this I am by no means responsible for causing any blue screens or the possible heat death your computer might face.
(Also, if you decide to loot the aftermath of any major battle it will likely break your economy and gear progression if you care about that.)
Thanks.
