Background of the Project
I was inspired by multiple games which do a good job at covering this period, but the one that stuck out to me most and the one that this mod will be based on is Brytenwalda, itself a mod for Mount and Blade Warband. I want to translate what makes that mod great into a total war experience.
The mod will have a large focus on the campaign map, I hope to innovate greatly in an effort to slow down the game and reflect on the time period's chaos. It won't be easy to conquer the island, finances will be tight for most factions and great amounts of troops will be needed to hold the land you conquer together. Despite all this, I refuse to have anything to do with garrison scripts or last stand armies. I want the player to be rewarded for their cleverness, I think there are better ways to slow the game down and make it challenging.
