*group fire is a sound event that triggers when a lot of x sounds are played, if a lot of guns fire together it plays a prerecorded sound of a guns firing together while silencing new sounds of guns firing, this is removed and now you will hear every gun fire and you will like it

Military Forces
Every vanilla/modded VCoast general that is a unique character has been converted into a unique military force type, Luthor's force is the Luthorforcetype, Aranessa's force is the Aranessaforcetype, Reborn Admiral is the Disclordforcetype etc.
Every vanilla/modded VCoast generic general has been converted into a unique military force type, all vampire admirals are the Vampireforcetype, all Sartosan Ogre lords are the Ogreforcetype etc
in order to do this it was required to disable the vanilla vcoast generic lords and replace them with duplicates...
This allows me to make each of those guys unique by giving them custom shipbuildings, stances and well you get the point
Changes have been made in order to make the campaign more Piratey
  • All force types are unable to exchange units
  • All force types have access to shipbuilding
  • Shipbuilding template is unique for each force type (e.g Ogres have Ogre buildings, Generic Vampires have a limited version of Coast shipbuildings, Seabound Lords have an extended version of Coast shipbuilding) - this means there are currently ~15* 35 new buildings to maintain and name
  • All Non generic forces do not increase supply lines
  • Generic forces allow recruitment from their shipbuilding - having 3 generic lords at sea means having 3 recruitment pools
  • Each force type has access to different stances
  • Each lord is bound to his ship, should the lord die in battle but his army survived it, the lord will not die in campaign post battle, the only way to kill him is to destroy the entire force
Seabound Lords
Seabound lords are forces similiar to the Black Arks, they have access to full shipbuildinging and they can't transition between L&S or S&L, they also have special cannon buildings
The Black Arks however have another feature, "spawns at sea", which allows them to spawn only from ports and only at sea, this feature for some reason is hidden in the files
Without the data it's not possible to spawn a lord from a settlement into the sea (even if its a port settlement)
Fortunately, the Vampire Coast can spawn lords from their shipbuildings, so using a script I hide the button to recruit Seabound lords whenever the lord recruit panel is opened using a settlement or using a shipbuilding lord that isnt currently at sea
To see and recruit the Seabound lords you will have to recruit them with a lord that is currently at sea


sartosa specific changes
  1. ALL vampire generic lords removed
  2. ALL vanilla buildings removed
  3. added 3 rosters, dwarfs, ogres and humans, each has custom units
  4. removed vanilla tech tree, added 3 new ones
  5. sartosa can bribe units in pre battle screen and have them stay after battle is won
