The Motherland

Some units have been renamed to match the lore better like Light War Sleds ar now Oblast Sledges or War Bear Riders are now Sons of Ursun. Plus katarin dropped Frost Fang for her good old Fear Frost.

Bear Variations


We've all been a bit shocked by the omnipresence of White bears in the game, so we decided to make additional variants with black, cedar and honey bears.

Units Remake


Tsar Guard

The Bokha Palace Guard is clearly not just more armoured Kossars, they have been remaned to Kreml Guards and the model has been reworked to look more elite. Plus a new unit has been added using Bardiches, which is their signature weapon in lore.

Sleds

From the first trailer we found the ice under the selds a bit weird... So both light/heavy sleds and little groms had the ice swapped for skiis. Plus the light sled (Oblast sledge) now uses horses instead of bears.

Gryphon Legion

The gryphon legion horses have been reskined to the old warhammer colours, being kinda their trademark.

Characters


Katarin

The Ice Queen is the more potent caster of the Motherland, she now has access to both the lore of Ice and Tempest.

Being the current ruler, she's also getting the Kislev flag back !

Kostaltyn

To make it different from Boris & Katarin, Kostaltyn now has a black bear mount instead of a white one.

Settlements rework


The building icons like in the other games felt a bit generic, each level now have a unique icon. And talking about generic, the main 3 settlements are also being reworked with more loreful landmarks, namings and descriptions.

What to come ?


A big part of the project is to remake the mount options for the lords and heroes, because right now it's just bears for everyone ! We are still currently waiting for the modding tools to be updated to give Katarin and caster lords the sleds they diserve. This mod will also add later on more new content like heroes and units if needed.
