Sato's Alps

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!



Version:

Description:

Alps by default are in line formation.

'Sleep' is single target, as is wakeup.

'Nightmare' has to be used by an Alp each time they want to inflict damage with it.

Brothers cannot be woken up from Nightmare by allies, but have a chance to wake up on their own.

Alps have a melee attack.

An HTML format explanation of the new Alps, vaguely in the style of the official enemy announcement posts (to the best of my ability).

Tips on how to fight them.

A list of the exact mod details (stats, roll calculations, AP costs, perks) for those of you who don't want to explore any of this organically.

Compatibility:

Mods that change enemy behavior (i.e. AI) are probably incompatible (softlock).

Mods that change Alps are probably incompatible (incorrect stats, most likely).

Mods that add abilities to humans or greenskins are incompatible (either that mod won't work, or you/brigands/greenskins/etc won't get the 'Wake Up' skill).

Mods that affect spawnlists (party size) or beast stats are incompatible (incorrect scaling/stats on Alps).

I would expect that all other mods (item stats, abilities, UI mods, etc.) to be compatible.

On August 13th, the new DLC, Blazing Deserts ( Steam GOG ) comes out. You should expectwhen that happens. You should either ensure you turn off automaticupdates if you wish to continue playing with mods, or remove your modsuntil authors have had time to update for the new DLC.Last updated for Battle Brothers versionThis mod should be considered to be in a playable beta state - there may be bugs I haven't uncovered, and I may tweak numbers or AI behaviors based on my own playthroughs and/or on player feedback. Figure I should be up front about both those things. :)I hope you enjoy the mod!A more or less by-the-book implementation of the amateur hour design I made a while back on the steam forums here . For those of you who don't care to read all that (most of you), this is a rework of the 2018 iteration of Alps, that had Sleep/Nightmare. The quick summary is:Full details are in the README folder included in the mod. Speaking of, the README folder contains:. I might investigate making a modhooks version at a later date in time, but it's not very well documented and I don't use other mods, so this is very low priority to me.As I don't use other mods, I don't really have a good sense for how compatible this is or isn't. To hazard a guess, however:Putin your data directory.If you have the game on Steam, this is most likely. For GOG users I'd expect it's something like, although I don't use Galaxy so I don't know if that changes things).If this is your first time using mods for the current Battle Brothers version, the game will pop up a warning letting you know you're using mods. If you find bugs with the game, please do file a bug report on Steam, or on the dev's website following the instructions here , please confirm that the bug still occurs unmodded before doing so, as the devs will (rightfully) not investigate bugs on modded games (please don't ask them to). If you find bugs with this mod, please let me know! This is something I use in my own game, so I appreciate any help I can get ironing out issues.Removefrom your data directory.
