This is a total conversion for BfME2. As I am a coder and decided not to make this mod public until I have a first Beta to show there are no new models, skins or other textures included. The first beta includes one complete faction (The Empire of Tohrnheim) with all new units (swordsmen, pikemen, shieldmen, musicians, blademasters, archers, crossbowmen, light cavalry, knights, paladins, horse archers and siege machines). This new faction replaces the MotW faction, further releases will replace all other factions and add more, they will also add new special powers and heroes, as right now I only cut the heroes and left the special powers unchanged (except for Army of the Dead, which I disabled). All units now come in bigger batallions (infantry normaly 30 units each, cavalry 15), melee units do nearly no damage to structures and fire only harms wood-based structures (and does nothing at all to walls, towers or fortresses), there is no way to destroy a base without siege... Also naval warfare...

Part 1: The first 500 years
Tohrnheim is one of the oldest cities of Men in Grollins. The exact date of founding is unknown, but it has to be sometime in the first 100 years after the Great War when the city of Tohrnheim was founded at the Chalk Cliffs in the very south of Grollins.
Since the year 281 the chairman of the city council became king, which was from that time on a heritable title. After a time of peaceful expansion in the area of the Chalk Rocks around Tohrnheim, around the year 400 conflicts arose with the natives from the Ragab Plains north of the Chalk Rocks because of the gold those tribes owned. Those conflicts were the first wars in the history of the realm of Tohrnheim (which was a kingdom at that time as the title "Emperor" was first taken several thousand years later) and they would continue with small periods of peace for several hundred years.
