THIS IS AN ALPHA TEST AND I AM LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK AND ANY BUGS IN IT

After a year of working on Animations i have a stable version of the mod for Dawnless Days total War !

Ever wished your Dawnless Days battles looked and felt more like the epic clashes in your favorite fantasy movies—where soldiers break formation, the line buckles, warriors scatter, regroup, and fight for every breath?

This mod brings that cinematic chaos to life.

You can choose to break up the formation of units for a more realistic and chaotic battle on the battlefield and some units continue to fight for their lives even when routed !

With this mod you will feel the speed difference between light and heavy units,

Unit fatigue has been reworked, they tire faster when running and fighting, but recover faster when walking and resting

It’s up to you to make your strategies between the speed and the fatigue of the units to take the advantage of the combat!

– More Combat Animations
– Speeds & Charges units reworked
– Fatigue reworked
– Units stats box reworked (Add Speed, Shield Armor & Accurency)
– Add Moral & Stats infos according to the fatigue level
