RPG Rebalance - Raids

Raids is a thorough-going rework and expansion of enemy camps and trade caravans in Battle Brothers, with the intention of increasing game longevity and providing a greater breadth of options and strategic depth to each playthrough. Raids' functionality encompasses the following:

  • A progressive lair Agitation system, meant to simulate dynamic behaviours from camp entities responsive to player actions. Agitation serves as a differential knob on the given difficulty of a lair with respect to its native properties; the more Agitated a lair, the more powerful it becomes.
  • An Edict system to directly modify lair behaviours. Edicts are stackable items that provide a singular mechanism for directly manipulating lair behaviour, adding an additional layer of depth to the camp raiding gameplay loop.
  • Caravan parameter expansion through the introduction of the Cargo and Wealth properties, which each provide at-a-glance insights into the inventories of caravans.
  • A novel algorithm for lair troop assignment, with bespoke, faction-specific troop pools to provide unique challenges.
  • Caravan troop pools are responsive to caravan Wealth and Cargo, and now encompass a wide variety of troops, inclusive of some of the strongest threats in the game.

Configuration

MSU is not a dependency of Raids, but Raids will interface with it to provide additional functionality if it is present. Without MSU, Raids cannot be configured.

Installation/Updates

A new game is required. Raids will not work correctly with ongoing playthroughs.

Drop the zip file into Battle Brothers\data. Do not extract the zip file.

If updating, please delete the pre-existing file before placing the zip within your data folder.

Note that I will be loosely adhering to SemVer specifications to indicate which versions are backwards-compatible. Minor version bumps are intended to convey the introduction of new functionality which does not strictly require a new game (but a new game may be strongly recommended). Major version bumps require a new game.

Uninstallation

Remove the zip file from Battle Brothers\data.

Please do not attempt to remove Raids from ongoing playthroughs.

Dependencies

  • This mod was tested on modding script hooks v21.1. Older versions may work, but are unsupported.
  • This mod is supported only on games that have all DLCs.
  • MSU v1.2.7 will allow for mod settings configuration, but is otherwise optional. Older versions may work, but are unsupported.
