Great mod, only gripe is that my lord got one shotted in one very low tier goblin archer volley.

don't know about co-op, but yes it still working fine.

Does this mod work in co-op? Does it still work at all? :)

warhammer 2 version out! https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1662936739

No rush, I have had a good time going back and playing warhammer 1 thanks to this mod.

Thanks! the armor system won't be in wh2 version, not till CA are done with the game. I have thought about reducing infantry speed, since wh2 maps are smaller. As for the wh2 version. Its basically in BETA now, all factions done for aye aye patch. But with the new update, ill have to re-do certain aspects of the mod, so I'll just wait until after the festag update releases. I have a pretty busy semster, alot of stuff are due end of janurary. So it might take awhile to update to festag.

love the new changes especially the ruduction of damage and armor system. Have you though about decreasing infantry speed slightly? ie 30 for bacic swordman? Similar to other total wars.

I have wait it for so long, in the mid time i would replay the warhammer 1 version, thanks Fromage for this mod.

Final Update (probably)
-New Armour system, the armor number now tells you the exact % of non-AP damage reduced, eg. 83 armor = 83% non-AP damage reduction
-The % ward saves and resistances values were reduced to prevent cases of 100% all damage reduction

-Overall reduction to melee and missile damage to increase battle length (to emulate DEI)
-Reduced cavalry speed slightly
-Cut health of dedicated missile units in half, as cavalry had trouble with them with the reduce melee damage

I bought WH2, will be working on a version for that over the next few weeks or months.

Can i ask how you make the bodyguard, i go on many modder discord and all of them say that the bodyguard create problem and is very hard to implement, so how you implement it?

@ Slemokun, thanks, but I'm not working on a WH2 version at least until their next content patch.

Great mod, there is anything that i can do to help you port this into TW:WH2?

Glad to hear it,

Yeah I will, but I wanna see how they rework the Empire 1st, which is during the next campaign pack. However, I'll definitely start working on a WH2 version when the lord pack and ROR units come out for the Skaven and Lizardmen.

this is the perfect mod. it feels so much like older total was with i love. Have you though about bringing it to the second game?

Remove automatic imbuned magic attacks of most legendary weapons, BUT the activated abilities of these items will now imbune magic attacks

Like the bodyguard, reminds me of Shogun a lot. And I can see it as lore immersive, but its not in the Tabletop game so its why no one supports it. As for me it crashes with SFO and other mods unfortunately.

Thank for the great work this mod balance the game more like classic total war game thank
for the WH2 i dont see the time to play with it

@ SlemoKun and BladeLuoxi, Thanks! I know there hasn't been a update in while, Im still working this mod! A WH2 verison won't be till that game is more complete.

This mod balance melee perfect why i this mod is not more popolar

good job. Please keep fixing this and make it perfect.

-Tweaked the look of Empire Lord bodguards
-New Unit: Black Orcs (Shields)
-Unit Balancing
-Bug fixes

@Punished "Venom" Fromage no worries. tyt.
best regards.

@ R.W Wildands the 3rd, Thanks! I'd love to make this mod for WH2. However, it'll be awhile as updating mods for TW games is really time comsumsing and stressful (Their patches will break mods). So, I probably start creating it closer to the end of dlc for WH2. Also, alot of lords/heroes have chariot mounts, and I haven't figured out a way to implement bodyguards to them yet.

good mod. would like to see this for total war warhammer 2.
best regards.

When i wrote my first comment i saw all lords have more than 500k HP, and kholek with just 43k.

Oh, sorry, there was some kind of bug with compatibility with one of mods i used.

@ Krocodilus, its possible but too OP. Kholek has lots of HP, good damage, and attack.

Will Kholek get dracoogres bodygyards? Now he looks a bit weaker then other lords

Update
-New bodyguard unit= armoured night gobos for Goblin hero/lords
-Tweaked the look of Arch Lector/Warrior Priest Bodyguard
-Unlocked Wood Elf lord skill trees
-Reduced Wood Elf Unit Sizes, but no health increase (a bit more lore friendly this way)
-Gave all Bretonnian Lords/Heroes with Grail Knights Bodyguard, immunity to fatigue
-Royal hippogryph knights now have immunity to fatigue
-Karl Franz, Grimgor, and the everchosen now have immunity to fatigue
-Fixed Shadow magic from not displaying properly
-Unit balancing
-Bug fixes

I'd also like to suggest a mod with only the bodyguard feature.
So many mods tamper with unit stats, conflicts are almost a guarantee.

@Kreddi Thanks!!!

I'll keep an eye on this mod, it seems interesting!

Update
-New bodyguard for Ungrim Ironfist, a elite armoured slayer guard
-Gave Vlad von Carstein's bodyguard magical and flaming dual swords, instead of greatswords
-Price rebalancing, Large monsters are much more expensive to reflect their effectivness
-Lots of Unit balancing

Any suggestions for a new bodyguard unit for Grombrindal is welcome!

@ crazydog Thanks!!!!, Working on the next update!

Love the mod!

Update
-Updated for the Foundation Patch
-Gave Arachon Sword of Chaos Bodyguard
-Gave Sigvald, Mirror Guards
-Lowered Health of cavalry, and most monsters
-Balance new norsca units and new campaign effects for this mod

About Norsca....

I finally managed to get the mod from crashing, but I haven't even touched unit balance, so its going to be a while...

Anyways, tried asking CA for early access, but I never got a reply, which is very unfortunate, b/c Im going to be pretty busy over the next few days. BUT I wasn't so bust a few days ago, that early acess time would have really helped. I'll update as soon as a can.

I won't post an update till the mod is in a good state to release.

Update
- Buffed dwarf artillery and irondrakes
- Reduced Spread on some artillery pieces, but reduced explosive radii
- Gave Norca Wizards a bodyguard unit
- Gave Demigryph knights (halberds) charge defense vs large
- Unit balancing
- Moved Free-Company Militia, Dwarf rangers into the melee infantry section, and gave them better melee stats
- Gave Krell Herioc Killing blow, removed unbinding as well.
-Adjusted upkeep to be closer to vanilla

After having played several campaigns with this, I feel the need to drop some feedback. I said it before: I love a lot of what you're doing here, dont wanna go back to Vanilla battles; but please-please-pleeease - consider reverting unit upkeep costs. I'm drowning in gold no matter what faction I'm playing as. Even with Clan Angrund I'm making more money than I could possibly spend. There is very little challenge left.

Also it seems that ranged units all have either 1 or 4 for both their melee attack and defense stats. This includes ranged units that are supposed to be good in melee in the vanilla game like thunderers. Is this intentional?

Yeah it seems a bit extreme. With just Altdorf as the Empire I'm able to maintain like 6 armies. The battles are great, though.

Is there a version of this without unit upkeep changes?

Hmmm now that Krell is out, would it be possible to make Krell Heinrich's bodyguard?

Noticing a glitch where if i put a hero on a horse, and try to load in, the unit count still says one and crashes when i try to load

Addendum: for unit formations, I find DeStark's pack superior, if only because it has actual formations and they're far easier to use than the ones in the Unit Formations mod.

Is there a reason to use the halberd DGK's over the lance and shield DGK's? They both appear to do the same damage, but the lance ones have a shield and superior charge.
