The problem as I see it is, if you go to far you run into a morass of compatibility issues. As it is, there are a number of potential compatibility issues (crime dialogues etc), not to mention there are a handful of mods that already address the mechanics of the war itself, but no one has really addressed the factions as joinable entities.

Frankly, I've never really felt compelled while playing as a non dragonborn character who starts out as a commoner to join the civil war in either faction, I've had a little inspiration for some reasons to either sweeten the deal of joining the war, or at the very least force a player to engage an otherwise incredibly benign war. Part 1: Joining Up Scenarios / Reasons Faction is offering a Joining Bounty of 1000 Septims: You can find this out by way of notices in the appropriate Hold (Imperial Recruitment notices in Imperial holds Stormcloak in Stormcloak) (Missives / notice board compatibility?) Alternative To Prison: if under a certain bounty threshold (Configurable?) No joining bounty should be offered here, as well as less/no salary - see part 2 Conscription? Not sure how this would be implemented, but you're forced into military service by a faction, you don't receive the joining bonus HOWEVER you receive full salary Part 2: Benefits of Service Salary: Configurable salary paid weekly to the player, if the soldier is avoiding jail by joining they forfeit salary or receive a fraction of their pay...Salary should also go up with rank, again configurable, though I'm not sure how to handle this if you're a prison rat. A bed in the faction barrack: Either in Castle Dour or in Windhelm barrack Access to an army doctor, and smith: pretty self explanatory, either free, or at a significant discount? Part 3: Dishonorable service Service unbecoming you'll be drummed out of service dishonorably, lose your faction armor, and be dismissed from service Committing crime: If petty (configurable), be imprisoned in faction capitol for a period, then return to service. If over the threshold, Drummed out of service, and leave your faction as a petty criminal in all that factions holds. Treason: (Giving the helm to the other side) Large bounty in the original faction's holds, however the faction that you have joined will pay you handsomely for service. Special for Criminal scum: If you do any of the above and you originally joined the faction to avoid prison you gain your original bounty back in addition to which ever of the above you did. You're criminal scum what do you expect.

Hi Guy's/Gals/Mutants Been thinking about what I really need for my commonwealth hunting, and I realized a Martini Henry Rifle would be an excellent choice. I can provide detailed pictures of my rifle if someone wants to take this up. Forgotton Weapons video on the Carbine Variant: Thanks guys. Chernobylite

Well this new update said that I'd deleted mods, then turned around and uninstalled....All of them....and none had been "deleted" I can't say I'm particularly overjoyed with this update considering all 250+ mods that I'm running, I stopped NMM after it only got to seven mods, which have been installed for over a year anyway.

But but... Now I want that too....:/ Will we possibly be seeing that as a standalone, I think the LOTR weapon pack was one of your group?

It definitely is doable, but what is questionable is if anyone *would* do it.

As for the wake, we have the ripple effect if you walk in the water so that's half done, oar animations are iffy but probably doable.

I dunno gondorian stuff doesn't do much for me but I've always really liked Rohan with the whole Celt/Saxon vibe.

Rohan Armour, I think it would look great and fit with the vanilla game quite well. BONUS: I have pictures! I'd like to see a mix of the Armour thats on the top of that page, well the helmet anyway and the cloak fastener thing on the shoulder, but with pauldrons of the horsemen. But if one of you lovely modders decides to take this on, Have fun with and do what you want. http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/Human/Rohan/RArmor.htm

You might be on to something, I'm having a crash issue near falkreath and I'm using SMIM so Lemme see what happens..

After playing around with the bard instruments and then going off on a Civil war quest to attack a fort. I had an idear, the warhorn you hear at the beginning of the seige would be an excellent thing to play around with. Even to make it useful give it a Fortify Courage effect? If'n someone takes up the reigns I thank you in advance!

I see your suggestion and raise you another, I'd like to see any 'City Original' named NPC get buried in the hall of the dead if they die with in the city. Perhaps in later variations/expansions Rural yards for the residents of the hold's villages.

Nope, vampires are also disease immune so unless you caught both diseases simultaneously and they became active at the same rime which so far as I know is impossible. Sorry mate

I read a really good one called "the great war" that I found in dragonsreach, explained most of what went down between games.

Craftybits, if you like making stuff/being a woods(wo)man, smith or what have you its pretty awesome, there is also an unofficial addition of sorts for being a necromancer....no more summons now you gotta go collect the bits...
