"The Wheel of Time turns..."

The Gathering Storm is a mod based on Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. It strives to capture the essence of an epic fantasy story while retaining the open-ended feel of Mount and Blade.

This is a Beta version, which means there are still hundreds of areas that can be improved. Please try it out and share any feedback.

Feature list:

• 28 factions including all nations and city-states, plus several others you should recognize.
• Extensive troop tree including all political regions featured in the series.

-170 days of forced diplomacy, following general events in the series. After 170 days, diplomacy reverted to the universal Mount and Blade.

System basics:

All braids bring endurance into the channel. The HUD bar will show the remaining stamina. Stamina regenerates based on intelligence and communication abilities, and has a maximum number of abilities based on Channel Affinity skills, intelligence, and communication abilities. You can switch the weave by pressing "Caps-Lock" and selecting the weave with the mouse. To see what plays out as a channel, try custom/quick play using Rand or Nynaeve as a character. To become a lane in a solo sport, be sure to select the childhood option "Newbie or Wild" if you are female, or "Wilder" if you are male.
