Alternative Mercenary Campaign

[HarlotsEvisceration]

Inspired by SOTHR units that didn't make it into Dark Omen, I've began work on an alternative, story driven campaign detailing the exploits of units disbanded by the grudge bringers after SOTHR.

The first section of the campaign is set in the greenskin infested outskirts of Bretonnia, you play as Dieter Schaffer, commanding the Carroburg Greatswords. You lead a small, but veteran force of men. Some of which will be old favorites returning from SOTHR, others are new imperial units.

Campaign information

Returning units from SOTHR
New unit sprites and banners
A new storyline pulling away from the Grudgebringers
New voice acting for the out of battle dialog
A previously unseen race in Dark Omen
Extremely Hard difficulty

As of yet, the first portion of the campaign is 80% complete, I need to finish up the voice acting and overcome portrait errors. Anyone with knowledge or dealings with the in game officer portraits would be extremely useful at this point in time.

I will update this thread with information as I have it, or if requested.

I don't want to give much away from the units you will encounter in later chapters, but as it stands I've completed the 4th Nuln Halbardiers and keelers Longbows, I've added a new ranged unit, the imperial marksmen (foot handgunners), as of yet they have Nordland colours (blue/yellow) though I'm tempted to change them to red/white.

I'm about halfway finished with Vannheims 75th, the campaign was initially going to be based around their commander Siegfried Vannheim. However I figured I'd increase the difficulty by making the commander a footsoldier, so I opted for the Carroburg Greatswords instead, and stopped work on the unit.

The new race will not be present until chapter two, so I won't have any information or pictures on them until I'm ready to release the second part of the campaign.

This is the Nuln 4th;

You gave him 12 minutes before asking for updates!

Anyway, I echo Olly's sentiments: Connor, this is a great idea! *applause*

Nice Job. I always like to see new hand-drawn sprites from campaign creators.

And new banners too.

I`m insatiable! Looks really good btw, big fan of banners that increases the new shiny feeling by about 200%

I've transfered some of the recovered files from my old computer, it will take me time to filter through to see what I can salvage and what I need to re-do again.

I'll keep you guys updated on the sprite work.
