I haven't tried it yet, but if this works well, your mods are bringing this close to my ultimate game. Kudos man, your mods have turned a pretty darn good game into a masterpiece.

Looks like a very welcome change from the campaign.

Will the Opfors have a faction flavor?

 

[Morphyum]

it doesnt touch anything in the actual missions

 

[Eximar]

Understood

This mod is great!

Look at how Laio took this planet from the Taurians!

I even got it working with the regular map and didn't have to start a new campaign!
(At the first monthly finance report it froze, but after adding the InnerSphereMap Mod it let me get past that financial report and all the factions started fighting. Then I just set that "Mod.json's enable to false so it don't load InnerSphereMap anymore.)

 

[Morphyum]

v1.1:

- Fixes war crashes(no more reports)
- Fixes 7 max priority salvage for priority missions
- Monthly report UI improved

 

[Khomul]

Great mod, but one thing should be improved: most of contracts require long time travels, I would like to have at leat 1-2 missions in a planet when I arrive there

Anyway amazing work! Going to play right now.

Sounds like great mod.
Unfortunatelly it don't work for me properly. It always crashes or freeze my game so I had to quit and restart the game.
With Version 1.0 it crash or freeze always when the Financal Report pop up. With Version 1.1 this is fixed but now the game hang up during a travel to another planet. This happens all the time sooner or later during the flight sequence.

BTModLoader.log says nothing special

Um...this mod sounds pretty fokin awesome. I dont care about bugs etc...that can always be fixed.

The DEVS should look at this, and maybe put it in the game.
Faction wars are the Battletech world really.

Very good mod!

Will this Mod still allow us to have "Non-Conquerer" employers and OpFors?

 

[Morphyum]

v1.2:

ABSOLUTELY NOT SAVE COMPATIBLE DELETE BATTLETECH\ModSaves\WarTech WHEN INSTALLING

• Factions now lose all planets they conquered, when they surrender
• Factions now regain some exhaustion each time they conquer a planet
• Prio contracts now load correctly from savefile

 

[Tynyn]

We really enjoy this mod either by itself or with other mods.

Ah, sorry. I'm not on the boards that much since the switch so haven't been keeping track of who's making what.

v1.3:

• Factions now lose resources the more exhaustion they have
• Factions can now enter and leave non-agression pacts
• Factions can now settle abandonned planets
• Factions can now take over local systems
• Planet description is only changed to war percentgae when at a war border.
• Fixed exhaustion going over 100%

 

[Yankee Kitsune]

So i should just wait for it to come out in a RT update then? Will I be able to use my saved game from before in it?
