Welcome to Showammer!!!!

Tired of Warhammer III feeling like a chaotic brawl? This mod transforms the combat system into a deep, tactical experience inspired by Total War: Shogun 2. (Or at least I tried to)

PHILOSOPHY

Every unit has a role. Every decision matters. No more mindless blobs.
Positioning, flanking and terrain are now the keys to victory.

---

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS COMBAT SYSTEM

• Spearmen devastate cavalry and monsters — high AP damage and massive anti-large bonus

• Swordsmen/Axemen shred infantry efficiently

• Missile units are deadly at range but extremely fragile in melee — protect them or lose them

• Cavalry crushes archers and vulnerable flanks but fears spearmen

• Monsters & Dragons act as supernatural heavy cavalry — powerful but not invincible

---
UNIT TIERS — EVERY UNIT HAS A PURPOSE

All 1000+ units have been rebalanced across 6 tiers using the game's real recruitment data:

• Tier 1 — Basic recruits, low morale, weak in prolonged combat

• Tier 2 — Trained soldiers, the backbone of early armies

• Tier 3 — Veteran fighters, reliable and disciplined

• Tier 4 — Elite units, significantly stronger and harder to break

• Tier 5 — Elite Special / Regiments of Renown, the best of the best



---

TERRAIN MATTERS

• Units charging downhill deal significantly more damage

• Archers on high ground have increased range and damage

• Flanks and rear are now far more vulnerable — protect your flanks or face the consequences

• Units in formation receive a defensive bonus

• Height advantage is now a decisive tactical factor

---

OVERHAULED MORALE SYSTEM

• Units rout faster when attacked from the rear or flanks

• Casualties hit harder on morale — losing men quickly causes panic

• The death of your general sends shockwaves through your army

• Battles are decided by positioning and momentum, not just raw stats

---

LORDS & HEROES REBALANCED — NO MORE ONE-MAN ARMIES

• Lords are no longer single entities that massacre entire units solo

• They are powerful warriors but will die if surrounded or caught alone

• Mages and support heroes are extremely weak in melee — keep them behind your lines

• Lords now serve their true purpose: inspiring and leading their armies

• Legendary Lords are visibly stronger than regular lords but still mortal

---

MAGIC SEVERELY RESTRICTED

• Winds of Magic pool drastically reduced — magic is rare and costly

• Magic skill lines removed from lord skill trees

• Powerful spells are nearly impossible to cast

• Battles are won through tactics and positioning, not spell spam


PLANNED FOR FUTURE UPDATES

• Further faction-specific balancing

• Complete skill tree overhaul: replacing magic skills with command abilities

• Artillery and flying unit rebalancing

• More terrain and weather effects

This is my FIRST mod and I did it because I hate the combat in this game, I did not like the SFO changes and other mods, idk it was missing something so I took things in my own hands. Shogun 2 is my favourite game, and the combat is without a doubt the best in all the games, so I will try to replicate that feeling.

I know some will say; warhammer without magic? Is impossible the game was made to include that blablablabla....
I don´t care if the game was made thinking about magic, this is a mod to limit that and to bring the feeling of old total war :)

Expect broken things since I am quite exploring modding and balancing units.

In the future I will rework again all the factions, skill trees, "mechanics" for each faction and other stuff. In time I will do it.
