With permission from Davis237834 (check out his IV legion mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30141/?) I proudly present the civil war as it should be; With a decisive advantage for the empire.As I was playing skyrim I became disgusted by the symmetry of the civil conflict; how could it be I asked myself, that the empire manged to take and more importantly HOLD all that land without a serious advantage. Then it dawned on me, they needed one. So now about 90% of the empire has been outfitted with slow but powerful rifles using assets from Davis237834 I was able to change the dynamic of the civil war drastically.Now the empire can hold a fortified position for much, much longer.Also, imperial agents and marksman (from the mod this is built on) have special enchanted bullets that explode (making trying to assassinate the emperor with food far more deadly)Archers have been changed in only that they have arrows of ebony, due to the empire being able to outfit them as such, thanks to their ebony mines.When playing as a stormcloak, the situation is much more dire, but not impossible. If you can get in close while the enemy is reloading, or busy you will find they switch to standard close combat gear, and when they die, your own troops will pick the the imperials guns and turn them upon the empires dogs!Take note that playing as a soldier of the legion still isnt easy, the rifle despite its power is slow and expensive to feed/maintain.HOW DO I GET THIS WEAPON?Simple, either loot off dead imperial (and others you will see) or make in forge under imperial.Also take note that this mod replaces the light and heavy shield for empire. It was baked into the mod this is built on and i cannot remove it for some reason.This is the initial upload of these files to make sure they work. You need both the .BSA/ BSL and the loose files for this to work properly.Also requires dawnguard and probably dragonborn.Here is the video of whiterun siege in action, I didnt make it too far at level 1.
