Skyrim Civil War Nexus

Feb 25, 2013  (Note: to download all these mods use the Nexus Mod Manager – see THIS video for full, easy to digest, instructions). 1) Warzones: Civil Unrest. There's something fishy happening in Skyrim, and it's not that seared slaughterfish you had for lunch. As you walk around, you're constantly reminded that there's a civil war going on.

Note:I’m in the process of getting the weekly discussions back on track to be posted on Fridays again. So expect a few slightly shorter weeks while I shuffle things around.

Welcome to this week's discussion thread! If you’ve missed previous discussion topics you can check them out here. These discussions are intended to be ongoing, and I highly encourage you to contribute your own opinions and experiences to the posts. First a quick recap of how this works and what we expect:

1. Be respectful. These discussions will open the floor to a lot of different opinions of what is fun/good/necessary/etc.

2. Debate those conflicts of interest with respect and maturity..the nicer you are to your fellow modders, the more willing everyone is to help each other :)

3. Please keep the mods listed as relevant to the topic is possible. I ask that you read the topic description to make sure the conversation stays on track. Thanks! :)

4. We ask that when suggesting a mod for the discussion list at hand that you please provide a link to the mod, and a brief description of what it does, why it fits the list, what the benefits/drawbacks are. These can range from incredibly popular mods to mods that you think are underappreciated..don't be ashamed to just go for a major one though..this is a discussion and those should definitely be part of it.

Widely is flung, warning of slaughter,
the weaver’s-beam’s-web ‘tis wet with blood;
is spread now, grey,the spear-thing before,
the woof-of-the-warriors, which valkyries fill
with the red-warp-of-Randvér’s-banesman

Is this web woven and wound of entrails,
and heavy weighted with heads of slain;
are blood-bespattered spears the treadles,
iron-bound the beams, the battens, arrows:
let us weave with our swords this web of victory!

Goes Hild to weave, and Hiorthrimul,
Sangrith and Svipul, with swords brandished:
shields will be shattered, shafts will be splintered,
will the hound-of-helmets the hauberks bite.

Wind we, wind we the-web-of-darts,
and follow the atheling after to war!
Will men behold shields hewn and bloody
where Gunn and Gondul have guarded the thane.

Wind we, wind we such web-of-darts
as the young war-worker waged afore-time!
Forth shall we farewhere the fray is thickest,
where friends and fellows ’gainst foemen battle!

Wind we, wind we the web-of-darts
where float the flags of unflinching men!
Let not the liege’s life be taken:
valkyries award the weird of battle.

--- Darra Tharlioth, The Song of the Valkyries

As it turns out, we’ve never had a Civil War discussion topic, so this week we turn our minds to the call of battle, the heeding of honor, and the clashing of foes. Here we will talk about what mods enhance the experience of playing in a Skyrim torn apart by Civil War. Give me your battle mods, your blood spatters, your gory corpses, your burned down villages, your faction armors and weapons, and anything else that comes to mind.

I’ll offer up a few mods to get the conversation started:

WARZONES 2015 - Civil Unrest and WARZONES - Assault Attack
A massive mod and playing experience that completely revitalizes the Civil War in a huge way. Adds battles, new armors and weapons, enhanced fort sieges, random encounters, day/night encounter awareness, and more. The Assault Attack add-on also features brand new areas to conquer, new fortresses to capture, powerful bosses, and rewards for the taking. A powerful combination of mods that will thoroughly immerse you in the Civil War experience.

Civil War Overhaul Skyrim Nexus

Immersive Patrols
A versatile mod that offers both a battles and non-battles version. The lighter version adds patrols of all sorts to the game - war factions, Dawnguard, etc. The patrols are fun little things to encounter, as they add mounted warriors, dogs, and even the occasional giant ally (Stormcloak). The battle version also spawns additional skirmishes. If you use Warzones of Civil War overhaul, the battles version may be a bit heavy on your load.

The Honored Dead
If you want to see a stark reminder that the country is at war, this will definitely do the trick. It adds corpses in places you’d expect to see corpses - tree gallows, executed traitors in towns, battle aftermaths, failed insurgencies. Each new tableau adds a story, as well.

Unique Border Gates
This mod overhauls 4 of the Skyrim border gates to be more interesting and immersive. Instead of a simple generic gateway, you’ll now find unique gates with stories of their own. Perhaps you’ll find a slain guard contingent, a battle, a ruin. I’ll leave those surprises up to you to discover.

Hold Border Banners
A simple mod that adds flagposts to the roads and paths to indicate the borders between the various holds. It’s a nice touch to be able to note when you’re passing from one zone to another, especially in a country gone to war with itself. Looks especially nice with the gorgeous flag textures from Designs of the Nords and Designs of the Nords - Markarth.

The Sims 4 has seven life stages: baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, adult, and elder. Patch 50 expanded the young adult and adult lifespans by 4 days each to accommodate the addition of toddlers. A guide to Sims, their Needs, Whims, and Aspirations in The Sims 4.

Now let’s hear your ideas for ways to make the Civil War feel more epic and real.

Skyrim Civil War Quest

Features added:

Map
Items
Troop Trees
Lords

Features to look forward to:

Magic
Races
More Items
Dungeons
and more!

In the original game, the fight is only between the Empire and the Stormcloacks. To make the gameplay more fun and diverse I've split them
up and devised some lore to make it all fit in. The fighting factions are: Empire, Stormcloacks, The Rift, Whiterun, Markarth and the Forsworn.
I will shortly add a section explaining how each faction is going to be unique and how I will make their position in the war work.
Empire: Red Stormcloacks: Blue The Rift: Purple Whiterun: White Markarth: Green Forsworn: Yellow
