can you update for warhammer 2? please dude pleaseeeee
Suspense  [author] 13 Mar, 2017 @ 4:49am 
It's on my list but there is the texture files in the data.pack that you can try altering. The directory you can look at my One Eye mod. Alberic would be in a similar place. I also still need to fix Orion to fit the recoloe too but yeah Alberic stands out.
Lachie 13 Mar, 2017 @ 3:19am 
Does anyone know how I would go about changing Alberic's uniform colour to match the Bordeleaux recolour? He stands out a bit too much now.

Awesome Suspense. I'll check it out later today. Thank you for your work
Suspense  [author] 7 Mar, 2017 @ 12:42am 
I adjusted some of them. The VC map color is a bit more vibrant. Greenskins' green is very stand out bright. It shouldn't be confused with another faction at least. I also enhanced Bretonnia's uniforms and banner today. The colors are are lot more vibrant than before.
Saiya 4 Mar, 2017 @ 10:02pm 
haha fair enough and yeah overlay can be annoying. Too tired to think now but I'll try suggest some combos to help tomorrow. Any idea what the underlay colour is on the map? I'm guessing maybe a tan of some sort favouring yellow?
Suspense  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 8:01pm 
I'm particularly stuck with the Greenskins. Nothing I do with them look good to me personally. And though I'm tempted to go black/red, it'd be the third faction with that color scheme as I've already done it for Beastmen and Chaos. That's one reason I altered VC to purple to match all the creepy purple aura magic effects they have. Anyways, I'm art geeking too much. Time to get back to work.
Suspense  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 7:58pm 
I'm going to do it for ALL factions eventually but currently slowly going through the list.
Suspense  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 7:57pm 
It does for only some. It changes Angrund, Dwarves, Crooked Moon, Empire, and Bretonnia. I'm still looking for an improved color for the VC and Greenskins currently. The issue is whatever color I put with an RBG code comes out different because there's a set transparancy that's applied onto the tan map. So far I've been looking for a good deep scarlet for Mannfred but so far I keep getting this murky brown/grey look.
Saiya 4 Mar, 2017 @ 7:03pm 
Can't seem to get it to work. Really just want to change Mannfred's brown campaign mini map colour :steamhappy: lol

Not running any other colour mods, just an economy and 2 unit one's.
Any ideas? Does your Mod actually change the mini map colouring yet?
Suspense  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 3:22pm 
One thing I really want to do (or finish) is revamp all the campaign map colors. So many nearly identical colors for some of these factions. Nordland and Middenland, for example. They're neighbors and you can barely tell them apart
Suspense  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 3:20pm 
Swap or change? I am planning on doing something for all playable factions but starting with the ones that needed the help the most. Bretonnia's vanilla is probably the best
Notcognizant 4 Mar, 2017 @ 3:18pm 
hmmm am wondering whether you could make a mod that switches couronne and artois's colors n banners? that d be kick ass
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 10:52pm 
Oh good.
Lachie 2 Mar, 2017 @ 10:51pm 
Yea, just after i posted i thought, why not just check myself, but i've been getting some crashes at launch so was feeling over it. Thanks for respnding and can now confirm they do seem to work together.
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 10:00pm 
It shouldn't.
Lachie 2 Mar, 2017 @ 9:56pm 
Does this mod conflict with mods that add Wood Elf hair colour variations and horse colour variations?
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:25pm 
k thanks
Method Man 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:21pm 
works by itself ill let you know which mod is doing it
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:18pm 
hmm. You tried the mod by itself?
Method Man 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:17pm 
no it was the whole army the banners were blue
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:16pm 
That's what I saw. I just made a random battle and the Regiments of Renown were the only ones that didn't change because they have specific colors not tied to the faction.
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:16pm 
Oh no. It was working, just, question. Were they Regiments of Renown? Those don't change from uniform colors. Same with Legendary Lords.
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:07pm 
Oh, hang on. Yeah. Last update reset the uniform colors for Izor. I'll fix it
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:03pm 
try unsubbing and then resubbing.
Method Man 2 Mar, 2017 @ 12:00pm 
idk im still not getting unit recolor in battles. Clan angrunds battle banners are still blue
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 11:57am 
Most should be included in this except for the requested ones. They replace the same things so they'll conflict, especially renaming as all the text in the game comes together in a package, unfortunately. I wish I could make them moduler but sadly can't.
Method Man 2 Mar, 2017 @ 11:55am 
is there a way to make those compatable? i love all the recolor mods you have
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 11:54am 
ah yeah. I should note that. Thanks.
Method Man 2 Mar, 2017 @ 11:53am 
i tried downloading your recolor for the beastmen along with this one. i deleted that one the factions are renamed and the banners are changed, but the beastmen are not reskined
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 11:43am 
no worries, which one, just out of curiosity
Method Man 2 Mar, 2017 @ 11:42am 
yes i found which one it was thank you
Suspense  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 11:42am 
It should. It might be a conflicting mod. Are you using anything else?
Method Man 2 Mar, 2017 @ 11:37am 
i downlaoded this, but it hasnt renamed the factions..
Roque the Rogue 1 Mar, 2017 @ 8:16pm 
Dunno. Every CA release seems to be a downgrade, only now after being bashed into subservience is Creative Assembly listening to it's player base suggestions at the very least each faction should have had it's own Title Tree, but I'm happy with VC LLs having there own factions now, perhaps they go with the Dwarves next in the case of Karak Kadrin, I used hated to play as the dwarfs til the dlc, the orks.... they're super annoying.

If you manage to do this mod it will be the only one doing it right now for Bretonnia free-lc stage, maybe this is a opportunity.
Suspense  [author] 1 Mar, 2017 @ 8:07pm 
If I could make a mod that does a script that renames Couronne or Reikland to Bretonnia or Empire after a confederation or something, that'd be cool but yeah. It's a bit funky the way they've done it

There is a rename mod that does "Kingdom of" and "Dukedom of" but yeah, I don't know which one either.
Roque the Rogue 1 Mar, 2017 @ 8:04pm 
A ideal mod would be if factions grown too powerful they become kingdoms or empires, akin to crusader kings and earn it's corresponding King/Emperor titles, if when you play as VC and conquer the Empire, Mannfred should become the Emperor, or if you conquer the entire Bretonnia, you become the Emperor of Bretonnia, or High Duke/King
Roque the Rogue 1 Mar, 2017 @ 8:03pm 
Me too, I hate generic names, it's just so lazy and unpolished, Empire of Man is just perfect, but if possible. It should be a "acquired" title, the way CA designed both the Empire and Bretonnia is pitiful, they hold no authority whatsoever over their "supposed vassals and suzerains", it's pretty pathetic really, it means you're only in control of a fragmented Reikland and the Couronne lands, thus why I suggested a change. I have had mod though, that renamed factions after they confederated, if that's possible as it was when it worked, perhaps you could do it too in a more lore-friendly way, Empire and Bretonnia start as Reikland and Couronne, when they confederate they become the Empire of Man and Kingdom of Bretonnia or just Bretonnia, it's another rename mod, but I can't seen to remember which :/
Suspense  [author] 1 Mar, 2017 @ 6:21pm 
Just in case anyone was wondering on how I decide to rename the factions. Others go strictly off of province name. Mine's a bit different I guess.
Suspense  [author] 1 Mar, 2017 @ 6:17pm 
I could do Couronne as a separate mod. For this one I'm going to keep it as Bretonnia. My feelings is that King Louen is supposed to be the rightful King of all Bretonnia, not just Couronne. It's similar to why I changed the Empire to Empire of Man and not Reikland as Franz is the Emperor and not just a Count. But Chaos I will change soon and probably recolor a bit. My ultimate goal is mostly to get away from generic terms like "The Dwarves" when there are other dwarves or "The Wood Elves" when there are other wood elves, or "The Vampire Counts." But for the Empire and Bretonnia, they are supposed to be more united than the other, moreso than the others. I just don't like generic faction names. Bretonnia's thematic enough. If it were something like "the Knights" I'd have an issue. But yeah, I can do it as a separate thing. Not too difficult.
Roque the Rogue 1 Mar, 2017 @ 5:51pm 
Can you rename Bretonnia to Couronne? Warriors of Chaos to Chaos Undivided?
H3y000! 19 Jan, 2017 @ 11:26pm 
That's quite alright I appreciate the assistance :-D
Suspense  [author] 19 Jan, 2017 @ 7:13pm 
Check out Magnar's channel on Youtube, he's the one that made the big diplomacy and occupation mod. The Secessionist/Empire swap wouldn't be that difficult. Just switch the assets in the two folders and alter the tables a bit. factions_uniforms, factions_banners, and factions. Here's a link to his vid. I'm knee deep in college right now so I haven't been able to work on mods too much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtoD9TcjuBI

Hi Suspense, really enjoying the recolours. Ever since I first started playing this awesome game I've really liked the Empire Secessionists colours/flag/faction emblem. I'm just wondering if you do requests? Like switching the Empire colours/flag/faction emblem with that of the Empire Secessionists? If not could you point me in the right direction on how to achieve this? I have little to no experience when it comes to modding!
DevilSlayer 12 Jan, 2017 @ 4:02pm 
I second consulmcdonald... On the point of the flag anyway, as I thought Clan Angrund was an appropriate name. Just read that Karak Izor is actually meant to be the hold of the dwarves of Ekrund who are planning their return there. King Belegar must just be their guest. The copper theme is nothing to do with the Ironhammer!
consulmcdonald 1 Jan, 2017 @ 10:17pm 
Hey man love the mod a ton, but one thing is bugging me about it, why isn't Belegar's faction name Karak Eight Peaks and why isn't their faction banner that of the Eight Peaks, could you please change this, its literally the only issue in this mod, Belegar's the True King of Karak Eight Peaks, it would make no sense for him to style his followers and faction as Karak Izor, even if thats his start position, so can this one minor detail please be changed, thanks.
Suspense  [author] 16 Dec, 2016 @ 8:13pm 
You'd still have the flags, banners, and uniforms. You can rename and upload it too if you want. I don't mind.
Suspense  [author] 16 Dec, 2016 @ 8:13pm 
The easiest would be to just delete the factions_table and text directories in the pack file. You wouldn't get the campaign map color swap but the custom UI mods already override that anyways.
RIP AND TEAR 16 Dec, 2016 @ 7:46pm 
hey Suspense, love your recolours, I don't think we have nearly enough recolour mods so I really appreciate it. just as a personal preference though, I prefer the original faction names. can I easily change that in the PFM myself? I have very limited experience with it but if I can fix it myself that'd be swell
Suspense  [author] 13 Dec, 2016 @ 12:15pm 
I had a battle against Talsyn to get the screenshot of both armies. Talsyn was the enemy
