Better Combat Animations

Description
Much needed update for original WH1 Human factions: Empire, Bretonnia, Chaos Warriors and Norsca. Specifically animation sets for Hu1 and Hu1c. The slow overdrawn attacks have been replaced with concise and dexterous movements. Spearmen perform quick thrusts, swords, axes and halberds hack, slash and thrust. Soldiers with shields perform defensive attacks while guarding and shield bash to create space. Great weapons perform vicious strikes but no longer over step loosing their footing. Troops now stand at attention while idling without constant jeering and taunting. The faster, more concise animations increase unit lethality somewhat (by allowing sooner follow up attacks) From my observations this has brought parity with WH2/3 factions.

This mod does not swap unit animation sets (ie swapping Empire Spearmen with Tomb Guard) but edits the animation sets themselves so it will work with new units using vanilla sets. Save game compatible, safe to turn on/ off anytime. Compatible with Marthenil's excellent Reloading Animations.

The video demonstration features combat intervals from my Ready for War: Epic Overhaul

compatible with matched combat animation ?
soji 14 Jul @ 10:15am 
Not sure if someone asked this already but how does this interact with reskin mods like ZC Empire reskin? should be compatible right?

a much needed "fix/improvement" sir, you're a legend!
OODA Loop 14 Jul @ 9:32am 
Any thoughts on making changes for heroes / lords so that they don't play their "overstepping" animations?

@hardlinerain Hello! The Ready for War: Overhaul has everything included under one mod, so that's all you need. This is just a stand alone for ppl who just want the animation update. Thanks! 😎👍

Hey Shorewall ,I am confused .so is this the same as your Ready for War overhaul..? I thought the animations were worked on in that mod .I guess i'm saying do I need this one too...?

@Orendiz The new halberd attack where they hack down on the enemy is actually one of Settra's halberd attacks. It's a bit quick but I like having more hack attacks with halberds 👍
