Collision Mechanic

○ The collision calculation equation has been tweaked. Increased collision damage and chance of cavalry breaking through the opponent's ranks. It makes the normal cavalry (that have no anti-large or armour-piercing) more valuable.


Jade Lancers vs Gnoblars, vanilla
(Note that Gnoblars look like spearmen, but they don't actually have Charge Defence vs. Large!)


Jade Lancers vs Gnoblars, HVO

○ The cavalry can pierce the opponent's front ranks when they charge, But this happens only when the attacker's mass must be much higher than the defender's mass and the defender have no charge-defence. This means there is a risk that the cavalry will be surrounded in the middle of the enemies because the fallen infantry will get up soon.




○ Also the most lance cavalry gain additional mass when charging.
○ There is a submod that disables this feature.


Great weapon



○ Great weapon units gain a little vs Large bonus when they are winning melee combat, so there is a potential to deal effective hits to large units.

New Spells



○ Added a new lore of fire variation. Some vanilla spells are replaced by new spells, and certain mages use this variation. (Chaos Sorcerer, Daemonsmith Sorcerers, Fimir Balefiend, Mage (HE), Sorceress (DE), Firebelly)

  Replaces Fireball. It bombards the target.

Orthodoxy Henchmen
○ A new unit for Kislev.
○ Added Rally Control (passive ability)
○ It's a head canon.

While not a formal military unit, the Orthodoxy Henchmen serve a critical function within the realm of Kislev's Great Orthodoxy. As mounted enforcers wielding rifles, they are the embodiment of religious and political power. Operating outside traditional military hierarchies, their role is to maintain ideological purity and to deal decisively with dissent or heresy. Unwaveringly dedicated to their doctrine, these dragoons do not hesitate to carry out even the most morally complex directives. Their presence on the field or within the community is a clear signal that the Great Orthodoxy is asserting its influence, often in circumstances that blur the lines between ethics and expediency. Their grim efficacy ensures that the will of the Great Orthodoxy is both heard and felt, making them an unnerving but effective tool in the preservation of their ideological tenets.

Orthodoxy Citadel Guards
○ A new unit for Kislev.
○ Added Rally Control (passive ability)
○ Kostaltyn's bodyguards, from the official novel Son of Kislev. Their look is inspired by the Kreml Guards from the old lore of Warhammer Fatantasy.

Unlike the traditional Kossars, the Orthodoxy Citadel Guards are a force bound not just by loyalty to Kislev but by the deep convictions of their faith. Paid by the holy coffers of the Great Orthodoxy, they are elite warriors trained to uphold discipline, order, and the religious tenets of their people. Equipped with heavy armor and halberds, they are formidable opponents on the battlefield, particularly when guarding locations of spiritual significance. Off the battlefield, their duties are no less sacred; they are entrusted with the protection of the Great Orthodoxy's citadels—bastions of faith and refuge in times of turmoil.

Kindred of Talu
○ Passive ability. When this unit is losing in melee, it enters the Rampage and buffs its stats.

○ The mod includes a startpos.esf file but it's not important. If you place another startpos mod above the HVO in the mod Manager, it will work properly.

○ This mod modifies various elements from vanilla. unit, building, research, etc. But it is almost similar to vanilla, it will not be incompatible with other mods in most cases.

○ If you are wondering if this mod is compatible with a particular mod, read the details above and check whether the mod modifies the same element. of course, it won't be compatible with a big overhaul mod.

○ I think the mods related to Graphic, AI, Diplomacy, and Events will be compatible without problems.
