The concept
This overhaul includes a lot of changes, to make it short - below are the main ideas and concepts underlying Wartales Remastered:
each class is unique and has its own style/gameplay;
all gameplay mechanics should matter and be useful;
new abilities per each level, way better animals, creepers and more options to combine combat units;
there are non-combat human companions (not prisoners) and animals (they do not impact scaling of enemies);
there should be variability in the game, and quest choices matter, many new quest rewards are unique;
all the classes have abilities to be played in different roles, 3 natural archetypes (aka tank, damage dealer and support) are presented, most of them have overwatch-style abilities;
new fully functional classes and more interesting options when hiring NPCs, list of unique characters is here;
means to play the game again;
restored content: quests related to Paths.
For more details please refer to this article (link) or ReadMe file in the mod. Recommendations
New game is a must!
Disable turn order – the game will be more interesting and tactical;
No ironman, too many things may become broken;
Use the last version of WR Visuals (changing haircuts of NPCs changed my perception of the game);
The game with the mod can be easy or difficult, it depends on set up and actions. Expert and Master difficulties are less forgiving than in the vanilla game. When playing on adaptive, make sure all team members have the same level;
Use reshades, it makes the game more colorful and applies antialiasing with no performance setback;
Enjoy the life and the game!
Installation
In the main game folder (Steam default path is …\Steam\steamapps\common\Wartales\), rename/delete the next files:
export_en.xml texts_en.xml
Extract “res1.pak” file from the downloaded archive;
Copy the extracted “res1.pak” to the main game folder;
Start the game – message about the mod should appear;
Play and have fun!
No other mods are supported; no DLCs are required for the mod. Wartales Remastered modifies "Pirates of Belerion" DLC, the rest are not changed.
The mod supports the listed languages by default.
Notable Base Game Defects
Reinforcements when they are not supposed to be: the initial combat screen does not show any reinforcements, but in actual combat there are 2-3 waves;
Inquisition troops (even story/quest ones) are scaled like Guards, the more the Suspicion level, the more reinforcements. Solution: nullify the Suspicion before fighting them. May be the last two issues are related and some other factions react to Suspicion;
Wielding a torch (in any hand) makes results/information of crafting activities invisible;
Prisoners' levels impact the level of the whole troop. If their(prisoners) levels are higher than the rest of the troops, enemies will be higher levels than they are supposed;
Damage output is calculated incorrectly, units deal way more damage than intended, it seems the critical damage bonus is applied twice;
Difficulty settings have some issues, it may lead to incorrect enemies levels/scaling and to incorrect levels of crafting gear. Save and reload after any changes. Workaround for crafting: change difficulty to "Master", save and reload.
