Army invasion or large scale battle mods

[SeraVerte]

Having a castle full of guards is fun and all, but it seems like a shame if they can never be put to the test. Are there any mods where an opposing faction or army would invade invade the castle of your choice? If not, how would I go about making this on CS.

Also, what would be the ideal location to stage a large scale army of 20 vs 20 or so battle?

Unfortunately, the game engine doesn't really handle lots of NPCs well. 20 vs 20 would be a very laggy battle.

And there're brain-dead actors. If you put many(about 20 or more) actors in one cell, you can see some of them won't do anything, unless several other actors are dead.

This mod has a wild battle, but it is more like 11 on 11 spawning over and over for a fairly continuous big battle: Battle Between Two Forts

[SeraVerte]

The battle between two forts sound interesting but how does the mod author make only certain npcs respawn faster?

[SeraVerte]

Also, are there any other mods that add a special death animation like StarX's Vampire Deaths?

And is there a way to script a npc to unequip or drop all weapons/clothes upon death? (npcs drop their swords and shield sometimes, so I'm wondering if there's a way they could basically "strip" themselves.)

[David Brasher]

Battle Between Two Forts respawns actors by script whenever the conditions are met. So you do not have to wait three days for the respawn to occur.

 

Actors stripping themselves of clothing and armor before dying is not a lore-friendly and realistic action, so I am doubtful that anyone has built a mod like that yet.
