thank you for this mod, my shitty computer cant handle the beast path maps and makes my 20 fps go to 7, good work

Pls Update for WH 2

Thank you. The beast path maps are appalling.

THANK YOU MAN! I love the Beastmen playstile but even with my high end PC these Bestpath maps totally crush my fps...

Good Job :)

My fps are happy, thx!

So this mod, vs your other mod. This mod only affects ambush stance? What if they get caught in. East path stance does it go to beastpath map?

works like a charm, but sadly not compatible with minor settlements pack for grand campaign (42 settlements)

thanks so much...

Thankyouthankyou thank you.

I love playing Beastmen and this gave me even more reason to love it, I can kinda understand why CA thought it might be too strong, but bumping up the difficulty can offset that, plus... the same battlefield for 50% of your battles is... dreadful, thank you so much for making this, I wouldn't have even thought it was possible tbh

Cool! Hate those fps-murdering beastmaps.

@FrostyDemise
That's unfortunate. I can see how that would happen too, because I'm outright overwriting the catchment override table to avoid Beastment battles redirecting to their specific battle maps. However, I'm unsure as to whether there's an effective workaround given my desire to wipe a row from the table. I'll give it some thought though, there might be another workaround.

@Nexus
Updated

update

Love the mod! Just wanted to warn you that this mod currently disables custom maps in the campaign (CA recently put this feature in recently in their map editor). For example, when I attack Karak Kadrin, I get the vanilla map instead of the True Siege of Karak Kadrin map (link).

@MrHoon
It's super simple, they were kind enough to include the xml from which the bin is generated, so I knew what each raw string correlated to - so just changed the race override to a non-existence race, easy.
The bin part is legacy now that there's a proper table-based override system - however it still affects battle map selection from what my tests showed ;(

Could we get a version of this, but instead alters the battlefield for Wood Elf outposts? Regardless of the advantage it might give to an army, I've gotten pretty bored of them.

How are you editing the .bin file? If you're doing it through some form of Hex Editor dear god I have nothing but commends for you because that just sounds painful as all hell. If it isnt through some hex editor program such as HxD, can you share how you accessed the bin files? Currently the portraits are bugged for new custom units and the only way to fix it is through editing bin files and it literally seems like you're the only person who knows how to handle bin files in general

anybody know if this mod work with steel faith

Yeah that's what I meant! Ok, I'll keep an eye out for a mod like it that pops up!

@Rhinopotamus
I've never actually managed to ambush an enemy army from Hidden Encampment stance, always just get a "Your Army Was Revealed" type message
The mod overwrites any land_ambush battle that occurs though, so I'd assume if it is possible to pop off an ambush from Hidden Encampment stance then it will give you a traditional ambush battle map

@=[NK]= Col. Jack O'Neil
Not sure what you mean, sorry. If you mean in regards to striking an enemy army while they're using Underway or similar stance, those are specified as Subterannean Battles - so far I'm not sure if it's possible to change them to ambush battle maps, but I can't say I've looked at it in depth.

Does this also apply to the other factions that use the other paths?? I feel it's a stupid mechanic that you can't rush them from the old ambush maps!

You still ambush in the Beastpath if they wander into your encampment though right?

Thank you! Will let you know if any issues

@jackdanny312
Just finished updating, let me know how it goes for you. CA introduced some large changes to how this stuff works.

Do these regular ambushes still count toward the "Surprise! You're Dead..." achievement?

works fine

Anyone know if this is working ok as of King & The Warlord?

great, but underrated mod.

Any chance for a version that removes that map entirely (I mean, when beastmen initiate encounter). Performance on beast path is abysmal :/

@RafaelGamer
This mod won't disable the Beast Path maps when you manage to intercept a Beastmen force while they're using the Beast Paths travel stance, I suspect that's why you end up on the Beast Path battle maps when you're attacking them.

Oh thank god. Praise (why do you have a complicated name that i will not pronounce =D)

>.> Beastmen are a great fun faction. I loved the idea that you could initiate ambushes so easily.
I was dissapointed by the choice of maps though, i hate tree focused fight's. Mostly because i cant zoom in and enjoy the fun.

Okay, i lied. It works, but only when i am attacking as beastman. Is there any way to fix it?

This mod doesnt seem to be working for me. Everytime i fight against the beastsman (didnt played as beastman in grand campaing yet), it takes me to the secret path ambush (or the like, not 100% sure) instead of a normal battle map.

Is it not possible to have a mix of both?

Awesome, I never understood why the Beastmen doing the ambushing took place in "secret pathways known only to the beastmen". It makes sense if they get intercepted but if you're doing the ambushing it should be on a normal map.

Upvoted, thanks for this!

Awesomoe, please keep updated as the patches come out.

Nice! I already spent about 2 hours searching through files to find where I can change this xD
Thanks a lot for sharing

@wozmir I'd be interested in that as well, since the beast path ambush map is still pretty good, and would be really appropriate for certain regions.

Awesome thank you !!

Would it be possible to alternate with the usual beastpath ambush maps?

Works ;)

Brilliant mod, many thanks

Thanks for doing this fix that CA couldn't bother to do.

yes, this is awesome. I never understood why whever you ambush an army, you would go to the beast-path maps. Even if you attacked an army on the plains of Kislev for example, you would suddenly find yourself in the Mega Woods for some crazy fucking reason

I fucking love you for making this dawg <3

Thank you for this, been wanting something like this to pop up ever since my last Beastmen campaign. Beastpath ambush maps made no god damn sense.

noice

worked just fine for me today.

That should be the case, yes.
Though I've yet to properly verify it!

I'll let you know if it works for me... Also, are the beast path stance still beast path battles?
