The Face of Battle

Description
This mod aims to make the battle field look more visceral. This is done by adding the wound animations to all of the units in ToB. After the swords and arrows have fallen and the soldiers moved on, there will still be those clinging to life strewn about the field. The chances of seeing a wounded vs. death animation are about 50/50 because I have not altered the results of any matched combat.

Currently the animations do not last much longer than a minute if at all (I haven't timed it), but after a few battles I've noticed it really does add it's own unique flavor.

The next step will be to alter the blood pack so that it no longer spawns a blood splat when an arrow hits. Arrows should still send soldiers into both wounded and death states, but not spray their insides across the grass.

This mod should be compatible with anything that does not alter the animation_fragments

I'm still pretty bogged down and haven't had time to make any further updates. I am hoping that I have a bit more time this summer to return to this

is there any other steps required?, arrow still spraying blood when it hit

Absolutely. I got a new job recently and have had little time outside of that. I'm happy to see my mod has as many fans as it does

With that being said, is it okay with you if I put my combo mod up on the workshop?

I just copy pasted the files needed for the shield to be down into the "faces of battle" files. Seems to have worked.

The reason for the conflict is because both this and "shields down" use the same animation fragment files

@susini_felipe I am not sure what it might be doing to effect the shields while marching. It shouldn't be changing any of the marching animations. I have had to step away for quite some time to focus on a new job, but I should be able to readdress some of these. My plan is to also port this over to Attila eventually.

@gerabean66 check your terrain detail settings. In some cases they need to be maxed to see blood on the battlefield. This mod will not effect blood

@Friedrich II I have thought about adding this. The mod is already something most would consider morbid ;p

Someone know why don't can see de blood? My PC is very good, but the blood isn't there

@Toast You are right! I just use it above in a custom battle and i saw much more death animations and the shield were not at the side while marching.

@Shroom2021 could you try to fix it?
