GRIM AGE is a project, which has been in development for 3 years. Right now we're close to release of the first version of a mod. Our project is separated for two parts - single player (Ostland Campaign) and multiplayer sub-mod (Skirmish). We're gonna release Skirmish first, that is why all information you may find here is about it. SP part of our project will get it's own MODDB page when it's time is right.

In this [What's new?] I'm going to talk about unit trees, their stats and balance. And how it works in singleplayer and in multiplayer.

UNITS

Here are 3 picture which represent units of 3 factions and their stats. Unfortunately news picture limits wont let me put big pictures up so to see numbers go to the HD version Via the link. But before you start to learn it, let me give you some explanations

First of all let's talk about the icons near unit names.


Troop Size - how much place unit takes in your army (SP) or how much points it cost (MP)


Health and Damage - How many HP's the unit has and what damage his weapon has. If you see two numbers near damage icon it means unit has a melee and ranged weapon.
First number is melee damage. Second - ranged damage.


Armor - how armoured are the bodyparts of the unit in question.For people who are new to the Mount&Blade combat mechanics - in M&B your body is separated into 3 parts. Head, torso (including arms) and legs.
