New Faction – Dogs of War
You have control of a mercenary army with a gameplay sandbox style. You can sit still and watch the world burn, pick up a torch and burn things yourself, or save the world (or certain parts of it).
This mod adds a new playable faction to the game with themed units, techs and gameplay. It does not replace any other faction.
You operate as a horde that can recruit exotic, dynamic, larger & more expensive units.
Occupying settlements will provide the benefit of reinforcement but does not allow you to develop them. You retain the function of a horde even while you have a settlement in your control.
You must scrounge for money by manipulating diplomacy and fostering good relations with wealthier factions. You must plan your approach to the AI factions and act to ensure your interests are preserved.
Win condtitions are not yet added. Balancing is ongoing. Substantial structure of the mod is complete – it works perfectly but is missing some features (text lines etc).

Anyone with experience who is willing to design variants, technologies, lord and their skill trees is more than welcome to do so – I am willing to collab.
This is designed to retain the "constant struggle" feel (i.e. a challenge) that you got if you played Chaos on WHTW1 release on Legendary difficulty. This wil be very very difficult on anything other than hard.
