Perk Rebalance
Reworked Armor Trees

Cloth

The entire tree is positioned to be a helper to every other tree instead of gimmicky dodge mechanics which can easily get your brothers killed from unlucky rolls.

Evasion - 4 ap, 20 fat, lasts 1 turn and evades the first attack done against you and allows you to move through zones of control, requires armor weight to be less than 30 else it'll hide itself
Himshaw - merc cares for their own equipment - after battle recover 20% of body and helmet condition, additional 10% repaired at the start of each day
Fashionable - tabard, cloak and vanity layers weigh nothing and impact your bonuses for Nimble and Lithe
Freedom of Movement - Reduces Fatigue cost of Lunge, Footwork, Rotation, Leap, Quick Step and Evasion by 50%. The Action Point cost of Footwork, Rotation, and Tumble is reduced by 1, and that of Leap and Evasion by 2.Picking this perk will also add Quick Step and Tactical Maneuvers to your perk tree.

Likely the biggest change of all the trees. FoM on paper is an amazing perk, but it's actually exceptionally easy to break to the point where it does nothing using negative effects. The initiative mechanics are obscured to a new player and as such becomes a newbie trap where the only one winning from it are players who cheat. Movement on the other hand is exceptionally useful for everyone and proper positioning or escaping a bad position is vital to keeping your brothers alive.
FoM remains as an effect that will be granted to certain enemies.

Rework: Risen Legion Origin
Intro

Luft here, finally delivering an origin I said I'd rework about 3 years ago. Maybe more.
I wanted to add this preamble because Battle Brothers circa Beasts & Exploration is not the same game as it is today - as such Legion has actually been through about three internal tests on my personal test environment - the first two were eerily similar to what Oathtakers is right now, which may mean that Sato is within my walls somewhere.
Then I got a job, had a relationship, went into a small crisis (unrelated) and then continuously got side-tracked by other projects like Red Court.

We wanted to expand on what is effectively a deliberate black hole in the Battle Brothers universe without encroaching too much on the design or theming of the source material, so there are a few leaps here and there as to how this corner of the world works.
Regardless, I hope you enjoy this attempt at making something a little more off the wall and different than what we've produced before... and sorry for the wait.
New Backgrounds

Slaves

Everyone wants to win, someone has to die for it.

Slaves sit in the lowest rung of the legion ladder - they are there to fight and die (mostly the latter) in order to win the day.
Slaves are good at carrying resources. Every army needs them.
Slaves come with a broad skillset, but typically lacking in stats to keep them alive long term.
Slaves are on the lighter spectrum of armour, making them useful for hitting first compared to other legionaries..
When used well, they are an omnitool for every situation, in a bad circumstance they are acceptable losses.

Auxiliaries

War is hell, but someone has to fight it.

The lines are somewhat blurred between slaves and auxiliaries, some see no difference in the legion. But they are very versatile and effective fighters whereas their betters are more constrained to traditional roles.
An army without auxiliaries may lack a response to ranged attacks, or lighter, faster fighters who can act before a threat materialises.

Legionaries

The backbone that holds both the top and bottom together.

Legionaries can fight in a shield wall or with a pike in hand, dealing substantial damage either way.
Legionaries rely on heavy armour, and can be easily overwhelmed if not supported well.
They work best fighting rank-and-file with support units, either as shieldwalls or pinpoint backliners.

Gladiators

Fighters of high prowess, but are not much different to the slaves they kill.

Gladiators are an outlier to the structure of the legion. They excel at dealing with beasts, but struggle against large numbers of foes.
Gladiators are flexible, allowing both melee and ranged skirmishing similar to slaves.
A strong focus on nets and piercing weapons, as well as expertise in dealing with things of four legs or greater.

Honour Guards

Elite fighters that fill in for when those around them inevitably fail.

Honour guards work well as answers to serious threats.
They are slow but very powerful when used in conjunction with more expendable units.

Centurions

Even among the dead, a firm hand and mind is needed.

Centurions are experienced legionaries who have risen, figuratively and literally, through the ranks.
Centurions work well surrounded by other fighters, often providing support in key moments whilst being exceedingly strong fighters on their own, but only with allies nearby.

Prefects

Even in death, the Empire survives on it's bureaucrats and administrators.

With every Empire comes politics, taxes and bureaucrats. The Ancient Empire is no different.
Prefects boost many camp skills your soldiers do not fill, but can also provide support on the battlefield from afar, often keeping a fighting force going through long battles.
Prefects also fill a small niche of using ranged weapons to support in battles.

Legates

At the top, commanding all. Or rather, what remains of it...

Legates work as the highest fighting rank of the legion. They are not only superior fighters, but can turn the tide of a dire battle with well placed orders.
Legates can 'command' any non-Legate legion background and push them further each turn. This does not require a perk point and comes innately to this background only.

An Empire at war

Logistics will play a large part in the Legion, both from a pragmatic and thematic aspect. You cannot interact with towns and the majority of the social structure of the world is against you. Slaves, Auxiliaries and similar underlings will expand your camp stash, allowing you to carry more tools and similar resources, while the mid 'core' of your force will fight and die to achieve your goals, at the cost of not doing too much else. Finally, the upper echelons will be able to augment your fighting force as a whole, for some cost.

All legionaries have reasonable terrain modifiers across all terrain types, allowing them to quickly move across the map and leave mortal armies in the dust, which is useful considering much of your time will be in large battles with Noble houses or skirmishes with caravans.

Many thanks to OgreMan & The Blue Templar for providing story and depth for these backgrounds.

The highest recruit tier, Legates, can command other legionaries to do their bidding, allowing them to push singular units beyond their limits. All Legates have this skill by default, but cannot command other Legates.

Art above by the talented Olve

As you all know from the Legion being undead, they work in a different manner to zombies or mortals. On the whole, they have less health than other backgrounds, but makeup for this drawback in other ways.

Positives;

Immune to Bleeding
Immune to poisons
Immune to most fresh injuries (pierces, cuts, organ damage, etc.)
No need for food
Has resistance to piercing type attacks
Effected by fatigue at 10% of the normal rate
Not affected by morale checks (such as metal attacks, allies fleeing or allies dying)
Not affected by nighttime penalties

Negatives;

Recovers hitpoints at only 20% of the normal rate
Less health overall
Vulnerable to blunt damage

Weapons of (ancient) war

With the expansion of fighters and objectives comes more weapons of war. The Ancient armouries have been opened, revealing the terrible killing tools eager to have their fill, time and time again.

13 new weapons added; such as the Broadhead Spear, Spatha, Sica, and the deadly Broad Warscythe.
icon_ancient_spear_01_2 icon_ancient_sword_01_2 warscythe_01_1 icon_cryptcleaver_01_2 icon_falx_01_2
One unique weapon added.
On top of the typical swords, cleavers and polearms, all legion backgrounds will also have access to dagger, slings and drums trees.
All art thanks to Karl de Cori from their 'More Weapon Skins' mod.

Quests

New camp contracts specifically for the legion, where they can earn new legion weapons, tents and more.

Integrated mods

chopek's Find Legendary Maps was partially integrated

Resources

Repair speed was incorrectly using the stash size modifier from Tools Drawers and Spare Parts as additional repair speed.
Field repairs (when traveling, not camping) were incorrectly benefiting from the stash size modifier fromTools Drawers and Spare Parts as tool efficiency. It now uses the actual tool efficiency from these perks (20 => 6, 10 => 4).
The repair tent was incorrectly using the stash size modifier from Tools Drawers and Spare Parts multiplied by 0.3 as tool efficiency. It now uses the actual tool efficiency from these perks (20 * 0.3 => 6, 10 * 0.3 => 4).
The repair tent’s tool efficiency was only taking into account the modifier of the last bro in the roster, meaning most of the time players would gain nothing from having one or even multiple bros with tool efficiency perks.
The repair tent was not factoring in the tool efficiency modifier when displaying how many tools were required for repairs.
Tool efficiency was not taken into account when repairing items in the stash.

Both methods of repair (when traveling, and when camping) should now use the same amount tools (if the tent is unupgraded).
