Description
This is a total conversion that adds all the game of thrones factions, including The White Walkers and other fantasy creatures such as giants. The focus of this mod will be on the fantasy part.
It adds tons of new troops created from scratch, factions such as The White Walkers, The North, Southern Kingdom (Lannisters etc) Dothraki, Unsullied, The Vale, Dorne, The Night;s Watch etc etc.
Characters from the show are added, with the correct families and clans in their faction as well as fiefs from the show.



It takes place sometime between when Ned Stark was executed and the North starting fighting with the Lannisters.

The White Walkers are not an easy foe. Wights are tough, very fast runners and hard to escape from, but killable with the right skills. Then there are the Famed White Walkers, almost invincible, normal weapons will barely hurt them, perhaps youll be lucky to find some of the mythical Dragonglass on your travels or even better.....Valyrian steel.

Do not expect a walk in the park, this enemy has purposely been made extremely difficult to defeat and the mod is still a work in progress.



I have also included the option to play as them with an alternate start although they are very OP.

Features:


NEW MAP
LOAD times will increase due to large new map.
Map is still a work in progress and is around 90% complete.


Troops (with new models)
Adds new Wight units, as well as the factions from the show. Split into The North, The South, White Walkers, Baratheon, Dorne, Targaryen (dothraki and unsullied) The Vale and Free Houses.
You can defeat them without special weapons but its very hard, overwhelming them might be the only option or a powerful throwing weapon, Dragonglass and Valyrian Steel should kill them in one or two hits if hit in the head, it has special damage modifiers to do more damage than the stats show.


Giants added, both living and undead. Undead are slightly tougher.
Giants are very slow, very hard to kill and do massive damage, they are also very expensive to recruit and feed but are worth the investment most of the time, just dont let them get surrounded as they can be overwhelmed, they are basically the tanks of designed to soak up damage but using tactics you can run circles around them and shoot them if you get the chance.
Giants will also appear in villages located in the North only, and the character creation screen is bugged as the only way to add the giants i could find was replace some of the children models with a larger size, so this also shows up in the character creation screen. This also means random villagers will look like giants.


Troop trees changed and overhauled, The North have giants as their special rare unit and Southern Kingdoms have King's Guard for example. Plus MANY factions such as the Golden Company, the Stormcrows, The Brotherhood without Banners, the Night's Watch and many more, which can be hired in various places such as the Night's Watch can only be hired in the north near the White Walker lands.


MAGIC
You can now summon wights in battle, to summon them you first need to kill some enemies and can then use the thrown spell to summon wights at the target location based on how many enemies are dead, they also will be added to your party after the battle.
MAX: 10 per summon, WARNING: May Crash the game in large battles (although this spell has a safeguard to help prevent this by only allowing max of 30 wights to be spawned) there is a unit limit on the game that can NOT be bypassed, this will crash your game if you summon too many, it also does not always happen instantly, sometimes the game takes a while to realise but it will crash! The safegaurd can help with this, but just be aware of this.
Also only use ammo for magic that is in it's description or it wont work correctly.
Warging- You can summon flocks of ravens to knock your enemies to the ground

Fire Sword - Press C to ignite the fire sword when equip, it will deal extra damage to wights

Fire wall - Throw it it place a wall of fire that lasts for a short time, all enemies passing through will be set on fire.


Magic can be bought in trade menu, it is also included in the White Walker Alternate Start, just remember your not the only one who can use magic........including the White Walkers and priests from the Lord of Light.


DRAGONS
Dragons can be obtained by selecting the alternate start mod, first go to "Dothraki" and when you reach "joined the skirmishers" you will see the alternate start option.
Dragons and rider are immune to fall damage, running and jumping will start a short flight or "glide leap". Other methods of flight are being worked on but this is the current method.
To use dragonfire, equip it and then rapid click, for some reason sometimes after the first shot it may require reloading.

Dragons can not be bought in the trade menu yet.

Also Dany Targaryen is the only character to have a dragon at this time.



New items and weapons, Dragonglass, Valyrian Steel and new ICE weapons as well as some EXTREMELY rare Valyrian Steel shields.

DragonGlass
Very powerful but brittle, it will break after a few hits and is automatically repaired after the battle, use it wisely, acts a throwing dagger or spear with very short range, youll need to get close to them and aim for the head, will kill most White Walkers in a single hit or two if you hit the armour first.
Current list of dragonglass weapons:
Dragonglass Spear
Dragonglass Dagger
Dragonglass Arrows.

Valyrian steel
Even rarer, some dont believe it exists, very rare and powerful, it will help you defeat the White Walkers in combat.
Current list of Valyrian steel weapons:
3 Variants of 2 handed swords.
3 Variants of 1 handed daggers.
4 Variants of 1 handed swords.
2 Variants of 2 handed axes.
2 variants of glaives
3 variants of spears

Ice Weapons
Only White Walkers use these and the only way to obtain them is to use the alternate start detailed below in installation, very deadly and OP.
New models.



New skins and hair and eyes, become a White Walker in character creation and slaughter any men that cross your path, however it will be fairly easy as the Wights and White Walkers are pretty OP.

Custom start for playing as a White Walker, to use it, start a new game, Select "The White Walkers" then continue until you reach the screen where you choose your starting gear, then select skirmisher to see that you will now start with the White Walker weapons and armor.

To start with a dragon choose “Dothraki” and then proceed until you see “join the skirmishers”
You will then get the dragon as a Mount and Targaryen clothing if you choose female.

Installation
Do not use vortex to install, it doesn't install correctly, Manually installing is the best way.
If updating from an old version I would recommend removing all the old files (from your modules folder in your game folder) and then verifying steam and then reinstalling the mod
So that would mean in mountandblade/modules delete Long Night, LN content, Long Night Map, LN custom starts and mainmapfix and then verify steam and reinstall the mod


To install:

1. First click on your download file that is still in the compressed state and right click - Properties and look for an unblock option like this:





Then You can either watch this video or follow the instructions below:

M.youtube.com





Unblock your dll files if not all ready unblocked.

If you go into the folder called “long night” then bin/Win_64Shipping_Client and then on the dll file right click and onto properties and look for an unblock option.
If you can’t find one try this mod:

Nexusmods.com

2, Then unpacked the download and extract the files, Move Both "Modules" and "Music" folders to your Bannerlord folder,
Usually its something like:
steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord

When asked to overwrite, select YES.

3. Install a launcher that allows for you to change the load order, if you dont, it will crash. This is the one i recommend.
Nexusmods.com
4. Then install the hotfix (instructions below after load order image) Use only the following load order, nothing else will work:

IF INSTALLING WITH VORTEX!
I couldnt get vortex to work with any mods for me so I used this launcher:
Nexusmods.com
This is what I recommend to install and change the load order with

Load order BELOW:










---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




UnInstallation
You will need to verify steam if disabling this mod.

This is to ensure all files are removed.

Go to steam, find bannerlord in your library and right click and then “verify integrity of steam cache” and wait for it to finish and then it will download some files

Wait for it to finish before installing any other mods or using them.
You will also need to reinstall any other mods your using once this is complete.

Future Features!!

More new armors to come.


Some Banners are placeholders and will be edited at a later time, the same goes for some characters, their faces will be modified to resemble closer to the TV Show at a later date.

More white walker creatures such as undead horses, mammoths and maybe ice spiders



We have a team working on locations for the future to add and create new scenes

INCOMPATIBILTIES


As its an overhaul, anything adding new units will probably cause a crash.
Anything adding new skins or hairstyles will probably cause a crash.

Known Issues and bugs

1. Some visual glitchs on the main map including terrain, I cant edit the main map untill the mod tools are fixed so some areas will look weird and the height of the map is broken so you must install the hotfix in the optional files to fix the map.


2. If banners and factions, starting options or white walker skins are showing as incorrect it is probably a load order issue or the launcher your using isn’t saving the load order. Try the recommend launcher and if it still doesn’t work someone has recently pointed out changing the game language to English should fix it. This is probably due to an error with the game being unable to read some mod files as “moddable” except in the English version.
You may need to first: change language to English, exit game, verify steam with language set to English, reinstall my mod and this should work.

3. Some animation issues with mammoths, will be worked on for next update

4. Some Banners were broken by the update to 1.5.7. I dont yet know why, changing the colours for some factions doesnt have any effect for some reason and takes far too long to test banners so I will fix them in the next update.

5. DO NOT use dragonglass weapons on companions, it will crash battles. This is being investigated

6. some npcs are giants, this is a side effect of adding giants to the game

7. If it freezes with no error at the culture selection then you need to wait a few minutes and if it doesn’t load then exit the game and try again.
Once it loads once it will load every time after this, it’s to do with the way custom maps are loaded

8. Some music tracks are overlapping, this is being looked at.
