Ancient Warfare 2

Description

 

 

  Ancient Warfare is a modification for Minecraft that focuses on providing the player with a medieval-esque themed automation system, NPC armies and cities, siege weapons, and an extensively fleshed out world gen structures with over 2000 structures split across various Tribes and Nations spread across the Minecraft world.

 

  Ancient Warfare provides medieval based working power creation and transmission systems, automated resource collection for crops, trees, and mining as well as mass resource storage and processing. This done through working windmills, waterwheels, and other forms of power generation, as well as player owned and controlled NPC workers etc, priests, traders and soldiers.

 

  Your typical Minecraft world, namely the Overworld dimension, is quite barren with little to do in it. Let’s be honest - villages and wood mansions simply don’t cut it. Ancient Warfare mod fixes that by adding a ton of unique structures for the Player to encounter and explore.

 

 

“Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected.” - Sun Tzu

 

 Ancient Warfare adds ways for a player to recruit and command troops. And we’re talking here about real soldiers. There are several classes of the troops you’re able to get: grunts, archers, horsemen, healers and siege engineers. Each of the soldier types can be equipped with body armor, weapons and shields, which are used during combat to either reflect an arrow or a deadly blow from an enemy. 

 

Siege Engineer, Medic, Commander, Archer, Soldier, Combat NPC

 

Did we say siege engineers? You heard that right. Along with regular grunts, you can employ siege engines, typical for the stereotypical medieval period, such as catapults, ballistae, small trebuchets, LARGE trebuchets. There are even gunpowder cannons!  The mod also has working and Player and NPC usable boats and wagons etc. It also has working portcullis, drawbridges, and gates the size of which is variable to your own designs.

 

 

It wouldn’t be an “art of war” if all these men couldn’t fight on their own and follow orders. Player owned troops will fight monsters and hostile troops. That’s right, players are able to either use vanilla scoreboard teams or FTB Utils teams feature to separate troops and wage war with each other. Troops can be selected in-world, dynamically and can be controlled by their owner player with special commander tools. 

Clash your armies for epic battles

 

Soldiers can be commanded directly

 

Ancient Warfare also offers a full complement of functional civilian NPCs to run your cities and manage your resources, as well as offer simple in-game flavor to your world. Most of these NPCs are used for the Automation system as described below.

 

 

 

“When the soldiers stand leaning on their spears, they are faint from want of food.” - Sun Tzu

 

  A supply is a key concern in warfare of any sort - your troops must eat, and vehicles require materials to be built and projectiles to fire. Ancient Warfare 2 provides a multitude of ways in collecting resources, be it for building, running an army or simply out of desire to produce lots of stuff! You can even create an entire fully automated city that can run without too much player intervention with enough setup. 

 

Ancient Warfare workers performing various tasks

 

    You can either employ civilians to work for you, or harness the powers of wind and water to create complex machinery if that suits your taste more. 

 

The windmill and the watermill can generate torque energy

 

  Naturally, as with all the production - comes a question of transportation and storage. Which is also covered by the mod. You can create dynamic multiblock storage Warehouses and move items around with the help of couriers!

 

One warehouse can solve all your storage problems

 

  And if you are tired building by hand - you can employ your workers to build for you as well!

  AW2 provides over a hundred “shell” structures that, given the correct materials, your NPC’s can build for you! These include bridges of various lengths and styles, aqueducts, balloons and airships, shops, houses, fortifications, towers, factories, farms, windmills, watermills, cranes and more. You can also add your own custom structures to this system, via the AW structure scanning.

 

Let your workers do the heavy lifting

 

 

 

“An army may march great distances without distress, if it marches through a country where the enemy is not.” - Sun Tzu

 

  So you’ve built your city, you’ve trained your army. What’s next?

  Ancient Warfare populates the Overworld dimension with more than 2000 unique structures, inhabited by 45 different Tribes and Nations. These are set up as "encounters" in a dungeon style experience. There are hostile, neutral and friendly NPC Nations and Tribes and each has its own structure set inhabited by all sorts of NPCs - warriors, lords, siege engineers, spearmen, archers, sentry's, priests, bards, civilians etc.

  Please note that these Tribes and Nations are meant to be independent actors within the Player's world, and as such, the Player CANNOT join up with them or command them in any meaningful way. You can make your own Nation after all!

 

 

These are the people and races of different cultures, each with their distinct theme and art style. Some are hostile, some are friendly.

 

Nations

Empire, The Witchbane, Witchbane Crusaders, Noggs, Norska, Sarkonids, Xoltecs, Guild of Merchants, Shakayana, Zamurai and Reiksgard.

 

Tribes

Buffloka Plains, Buffloka Forest, Zimba, Kong, Smingol, Sealsker, Vyncans, Brigands, Pirates, Amazons and Barbarians

 

Fantasy Tribes and Nations

Orcs, Elves, Dwarfs, Hobbits, Ents, Gnomes, Gremlins, Giants, Minossians, Lizardmen, Rakshasa, Klowns, Monsters and Beasts.

 

Powers

The Coven, Icelords, Ishtari, The Malice, The Guardians, The Undead, Vampires, Wizardly and Demonic

 

All of these tribes and nations are biome specific – you will find the Norska in cold snowy biomes, or the Kong in sweltering jungles.

Biome support covers modded biomes too including ones from these mods: Biomes O Plenty, Traverse, Environs, Spooky Biomes, Novam Terram, Vampirism, Explorercraft, Auxiliary Biomes, Redwoods, Project Vibrant Journey, Thaumcraft, Coral Reef, Oh the Biomes You'll Go!, 

RTG is recommended. OTG is incompatible.

 

Tribes and Nations inhabit various structures ranging from dungeons, to tiny roadside ruins to sprawling enormous procedurally generated unwalled and walled cities.

 

 

 

Naturally, raiding comes with a reward. The harder the structure you’ve raided - the grander the loot might be! It can be materials, weapons or other useful goods. Or it can be money. 

Money that you can spend at trader markets and shops that some structures contain!

 

 

AW2 has a full suite of structure world gen tools - a very easy to use structure scanner, random world gen based on biomes, sound blocks for ambient sfx in structures, loot chests, mod support for many other mods including contributions from Electroblobs Wizardry, Grimoire of Gaia etc.

 

AW2 allows you to very easily spawn your structures into the world, furnish them with NPC's and stock them with loot, furniture, sound effect blocks and much more. AW2 world gen algorithms made structures blend very well into the world without harsh "box cuts" into the landscape.

 

 

“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.” - Sun Tzu

 

  AW2 is a HUB mod – which means it actively supports and enhances many other mods - bringing together their monsters and creatures in dedicated structures such as dungeons and castles. If you don’t have a supported mod installed, its dedicated structures will not spawn in your worlds.
