Bannerpage tries to add where Native MBW is thin and aims to significantly improve areas in which game hasn't aged well. It creates more immersive experience for hardcore players, returners but also new, younger players. At the same time mod religiously protects game's core values - single player campaign balance and maintains Vanilla's scent. Bannerpage is a full conversion from Native back to Native. Overhauled graphics, distinctive/immersive factions, new animations, new well balanced items, new music, new sounds, new scenes, improved AI, neat UI, new game mechanics in areas that don't affect balance but significantly improve player's experience and many, many more. Mod gives player multiple new options in almost every situation and thus adds a lot to the game's depth. I am dedicating Bannerpage to my two sons as monument of their father's love. Greatest thanks goes to my wife for her patience, love and support during many hours spent in making this mod.
You asked for it.
This is as good as it gets. I hope you'll like it, some will want more some will say OP, it is hard to please everyone. Khmer Mahout (mercenary) rides Asian elephant only, African was left for player and companions (Arwa, Sarranid Throne claimant rides one too). African has higher speed and greater charge, but is less maneuverable.
Please note that there are lancer and horse archer fix within PBOD options. This clip was made with horse archer fix off and lancer fix on. You'll get different results with different settings. E.g.you can turn horse archer fix on and tell Mahouts to skirmish and they will avoid melee until they deplete their quivers.
Looking great :)
That looks amazing, definitely using this on my channel
Thanks guys for putting in all this time and effort, we all really appreciate the mod and love you guys for doing it.
Keep up the AMAZING work.
Their Manuballista is scripted. Bamboo lance is long and hence has to be light. It is meant to be one hand thrust and not couched. It's damage is combined with elephant's charging damage. They would have won without range weapon but would probably have loses. Speaking of 0 causalities, their resilience and mobility should be noticed as well.
They should be at least very useful if not deadly in sieges and have nice choice of side weapons too.
I think we need more information on what is the "plan your battle with the enemy" and how it works
