Rivers of Blood: realistic edition

Description
New set of blood textures to increase the realism in the battlefield.

- Compatible with saved games (no need to start a new campaign) and with patch 20 (Ancestral Update).

- Blood & Gore DLC required.

INSTALLATION

1. Subscribe the mod -> requires Blood & Gore DLC for the blood effects.
2. Choose and download one of the files at:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkxsjR9oKKNhhboCimGn8VU6blvd2w?e=JahOuh
- Para Bellum - Effects movie.pack <- Includes blood, dust, fire and smoke effects.
- Para Bellum - Effects Lite movie.pack <- Only blood effects (less GPU intensive).
3. Put the file in the "data" folder of the game directory, located in: \Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II\data.
4. Go into Options-> Mods in the game menu and enable the use of Movie type mods.
5. Set the terrain quality to Very High/Ultra to prevent blood stains to disappear from the ground.

Optionally you can choose the original Rivers of Blood Realistic edition that includes a less bloody texture for the units. To apply it, download it at: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkxsjR9oKKNhhKkysHWY8r7SJqWjSg?e=2y8qG6
Search the mod using the browser to find "rivers_of_blood_real.pack" in \Steam\steamapps\workshop or in the game Data folder (it will be placed in one of those locations), and replace this file with the downloaded one.

Magnificent mod mate, many thanks for making it.

Any chance you could make such a mod for Total War Pharaoh? It would be greatly appreciated, there are two blood mods but they do not work well and are no where near as nice as this one.

Updated effects:

- Now you can spark the buildings with the incendiary artillery, and they will burn with big flames and smoke columns. In addition, depending on the material they can end up with a nice deflagration.
- The effects of artillery hits on terrain have been improved, with a new artillery impacts texture and raising dirt. Also the incendiary artillery effects on the terrain are improved, with the terrain burning, etc.
- The properties of many particles has been enhanced: now the blood will remain the whole battle duration; the smoke and fire effects, the dust raised by the troops, the desert wind or the snow in the blizzard, are no longer limited by the rendering distance.
- The dust effects now are adapted to each type of terrain (snow, grass, mud, desert).
- Volcanic eruptions on the campaign map.
- No FPS impact noticed, in comparison with the previous version.

Hello guys, anyone knows if there is any possibility to just keep the vanilla game 100% but only tweak how often the decapitation and dismembering happens? i got the DLC for more than 6 months. played and watched hundreds of battles so far. I have never seen any decapitation of dismembering :( I have all my settings on High, extreme and Ultra. nothing lower than high. Thanks for helping me out in advance.

Hi, thank you for the mod. Is it possible to remove the "Para Bellum" splash screen? Even when I disable all my mods it's still there.
