F.A.Q.
Q) 18th century uniforms and tricorn hats mixed with medieval armors and weapons? What kind of horror is this?
A) The mod asthetics are very much inspired from the various Innistrad sets from the Magic: the Gathering franchise, where humans look pretty much like that. Don't think too much about historical accuracy, this is a fantasy mod after all.
Q) Why is this a beta?
A) Because not everything i wanted to include is in. The campaign should be fully playable, but some things are still very much work in progress and will be completed in future updates. Balance is also in need of a lot of tweaking as well as stability.
Q) Are there any custom quests or any another similar features?
A) At the moment there are three quests, 2 avaible trough speaking to the cleric in devilthorn lodge, north-east of the map, and the other one avaible trough the discovery of an hidden location. Previous private version had more quests but for now they have been removed for polishing. So expect an update in the coming months to add them back.
Q) Is the "magic" just glowing throwing items?
A) Mostly yes, tough some have special effects; some vampire spells restore hp, many summon creatures and fire balls do Aoe damage. (Note: NPCs have modified versions of the spells, with less summons and no hp restoration)
Q) How do I obtain these "magic" items?
A) You can buy them from various places: Holy spells from the wayshrine, vampiric and necromantic spells from the vampire tower. From here you can also hire spellcasters.
Q) In the troop trees I see troop "X" which I cannot seem to be able to recruit normally. How do I obtain them?
A) Most of the shown troops can be obtained one way or the other. Currently, only banner bearers and a few others cannot be recruited normally and must instead be rescued from prisoners.
Q) Can I join a minor faction?
A) Demon worshipers are joinable trough a small quest, undead will be passive if you play as a vampire or start as a ghoulcaller apprentice. The rest are hostile and not meant to be joined (tough you can help them in battle if you wish)
Q) Can I play as a zombie or a skeleton?
A) No, and not planned to.
Q) My undead always die.
A) Undead are set to always fall dead so if you are planning to use them a lot don't bother too much with medical skills. This however doesn't mean that such skills are useless for evil characters, as you can still assemble a decently sized human host trough vampire servants, demon worshipers, outlaws and necromancers.
Q) I chose a vampire but my character looks like a human.
A) Vampires (both male and females) aren't actually new races, but just skins. So just keep chaning skin until you find the vampire ones (4 for males, 2 for females)
Q) I play as a vampire and everyone hates me!
A) Vampires are not liked by the people of Vasnar so thread carefuly. At the beginning the only safe havens are the vampire holds and the coastline of Nelia, the only human faction neutral to your kin. Take however note that the many undead parties travelling around the place are allied to you. If instead you chose to start as a vampire outcast, then tough luck. Those are meant to be a sort of challenge mode.
Q) Is there freelancer?
A) Yes.
Q) Can you increase the battle size?
A) I prefer to keep it vanilla, but there is a tool called "Warband Battle Size Changer" that allows you to increase those numbers. However this might increase crashes so you use at your own risk.
Q) After a while of playing all my textures turn black!
A1) That is unfortunately a sign of warband's age and it's limited memory. I tried to do as much as possible to optimize but this problem is still pretty frequent. It should only happen after long battles and sieges, so my suggestion, is to immediately save after each of this events and restart the game. This should fix this untile the next big battle. (If you use cheats, using the search item function is almost guarantee to make this happen)
A2) Newer computers seem to suffer from this problem much more than older ones. I have noted that while my old potato pc from 2011 could run mods for hours without issue, my newer machine from last year has instead tons of issues with black textures every half an hour or so.
A3) Lowering texture resolution (even to half or lower), forcing single threading in the launcher and disabling ragdolls could help in reducing crashes.
Q) I found a bug!
A) Feel free to post it in the comments so I can take a look.
Q) "X" is op! "Y" is too weak!
A) The mod is in beta for a reason. You are guarantee to find weird stats and the like, so report them to me.
Q) I don't like the music!
A) I might release an addon to replace the music with natural ambience tracks. For now either disable it ingame or replace the files inside the mods music folder with tracks of your choosing.
Q) Hey, I have this cool idea, can I share it with you?
A) Be my guest. While I may not add it, i'll make sure to take a loot at all comments.
Q) Will you make a discord for the mod?
A) An unofficial discord server for both Vasnar and Struggle for the Iliac Bay has been made: Discord.gg
Q) Will you port the mod to steam?
A) I tried various times to port it to steam but each time I get an error and all the solutions I tried did not work. So, unless someone else wants to port it to steam, for the time being it will remain here.

Very fun! I like the setting
I remember there used to be lich tower in vampire lands, but now there is only vampire tower there
Where is Lich Tower now?
It is a hidden location in the lands of the Church, a crypt in the swamps near Heaven's peak
This is the first fantasy mod that I've been able to get into. I never liked Pendor and was pretty lukewarm on Perisno among others, so it really speaks to your design ability to create an engaging world.
Next, I can't thank you enough for helping to keep the Warband modding community alive. Even 10-12 years ago, a mod like this would have caught my attention as something special. You've got a lot of talent.
In terms of the world itself, it's great to finally see some proper gothic fantasy, and I seriously dig the Innistrad and Bloodborne aesthetics. Right now, my only point of criticism concerns the range that armor changes the appearance of the models. I've only been playing a female character and noticed issues where some pieces of armor (Great Coat) make look all noodly. I chalk that up to textures from numerous other mods being collected and adapted. Some of that seems unavoidable - especially concerning headwear removing hair. But I'm fine eschewing certain types of armor in the name of aesthetics. Also, I can't remember the name of the chest piece, but one long coat, the Bloodborne-looking one with the high, closed collar, doesn't quite work in first-person view due to the collar.
Other than those visual nitpicks, this is one of the best mods I've seen in a long time.
Thank you. Yes, to make the armors I wanted I had to cobble together various different pieces so the result is not always the best and female variations are those which suffer the most as I let Openbrf morph them which results into some clipping or sometimes armor being too thin. I try to fix what I can but it's little what I can do. The alternative would letting the female armor use the male version but then it will be too bulky.
Hello,I had a lot of fun playing the quests. There are no words to describe how beautiful the quests, armor and characters are and I loved everything about this mod Thank you.
Thank you!
Love this mod a lot, the setting and the equipment variety is the highlight of the mod for me.
Is there anyway for me to change the health requirements to join a battle? I quite used to fighting through until having 5hp left and a habit of tactical retreat. The limit make me unable to fight even at 40-50% hp left.
Aurelia Drannhoff should have a level limit for you to change her equipment like Lethaldrian in Pendor. 71 body armor for 800 denars is a good deal
Thank you. In module.ini you search for "player_wounded_treshold" and change to the number you desire
hey, do you have list of music that you used for your mod? i would be intrested
inside the mod music folder you should find a track list
