Posted 16 August 2005 - 02:42 AM

After a week far from my computer and close to the pen&paper RPGs and good old Warhammer, the nostalgy pushed me to start what i had in mind for a long time now, as to say an attempt to make warhammer battle live with BFME engine.

I didn't do it before because the engine of BFME didn't allow every part of the warhammer battle system, and because some teams were wupposed to do that kind of mod yet.

Well, now, i don't care, i will do it by myself and see what i can do.

I've just started so i only did the raw and long work of preparing the place for the mod.

For what i can say now, i've many ideas of how to convert warhammer to BFME engine, but some are still mystérious to me at this time, like the morale system. In fact you can't have anything, rome total war would have been a great great engine for that kind of mod, but it lacks some things too.

Technically, at this time, i've built up a basic system using warhammer stats in BFME.
So M will be played in cm *4 (4 will do 4*2.5*4=40)
WS will be played by dodge (1=10%)
BS by Hitpercentage (1=10%)
S by Damage (1=10)
T by Health (1=10)
W by a multiplicator on health (1=1xHealth)
I by a shorter preattackdelay (not sure)
A by faster swings, area effect attack and else
Armor by armor (classified by its level, i reused the damage types to set different strength penalties. 6+ armor equals 90% damage through to a 3- strength attack, 100% to a strength 4+)

Now, the work is huge as i plan to add all second edition (i think that's it) armies.

It won't be that long to code, but i will lack time and talent to make all the nice models for it.

If you feel like to help on the task, you are welcome :blush:

Have fun (soon)

While I've never actually played Warhammer, what you have here in concept sounds interesting. Best of luck!

Using GW stats never works out well. We tried it with Only War, and ended up ruining all balance that once existed.

think BFME is much more adapted to a Warhammer mod, than to a 40K mod :)

"Warhammer Battle"

The med fantasy one and only.

I'm not fond of 40k anyway, and there is "Dawn of war" for 40k, i would have modded this one rather than BFME if i were dealing with 40k.

By the way, i worked hard on orcs and gobs faction, but the whole stuff is huge work. I will go slowly and doing it step by step.

What do you mean Ville? :blush:

That LadyRhiea will only do skins for Warhammer (40k?) or that saying LOTR warhammer is an heresy? So the only name of Warhammer is warhammer, and not LOTR warhammer? :rolleyes:

Anyway for me it's Warhammer, or Warhammer battle, if i want to specify between warhammer battle and warhammer 40k, i prefer to say medieval fantasy than LOTR. Even if Games Workshop got inspired a lot from LOTR it isn't LOTR warhammer anyway.

Did you know they copyrighted orcs and gobelins? :rolleyes:
