This mod does exactly two things, and two things only: Now, in the original version of this mod, I employed several other tweaks to battles to attempt to reduce the balance concerns that drastically changing animations can bring about, as well as making several changes and tweaks to battles centered around appreciating the great animations, including increasing spacing so you can see what’s going on better, as well as slightly increasing battle length so you have more time to watch. The goal of this mod is to create battles with epic animations that are dynamic and fun to watch.

While there are already several animations enhancing mods out there, I felt that they lacked variation in animation, still had rare animations be too rare, and/or also didn’t attempt to correct the imbalances caused by changing animations drastically. The goal of this mod is to overhaul battle animations to create a more visceral, cinematic experience, and make battles look more like a movie and less 'gamey'. HOW TO GET GORE AND ANIMATIONS: If you want both GORE and ANIMATIONS and are willing to jump through some hoops to get them, download this mod: and follow the instructions at the bottom of the mod description. Be aware that doing this will give you much less animation variety than this version will, but it should preserve gore effects. You should also use that version if you running Patch 18 and are not willing to lose gore effects.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are running Patch 17 or an even earlier version of Rome 2, use the version of this mod linked here, which will give you both animations AND gore effects (again, you need to be running Patch 17 or earlier to get both): While I’ve incorporated HCP Warrior of Light’s mod into mine and thus you don’t need to download his mod to use mine (I’ve done this for people waiting on an update or who won’t see this message), I reccommend subscribing to HCP’s mod anyway or at least favoriting it and/or endorsing it, as without it this mod would likely still be largely broken. You will still see blood stains and spurts, however you won’t see actual decapitations or dismemberments.

While this means there are many more kill animations present in this mod than in the current vanilla state of Rome 2, unfortunately gore effects are now limited. While I’m working on finding a total fix to this, in the meantime in order to keep this mod more or less functioning, I’ve incorporated Warrior of Light’s 'Matched Combat Restored' mod into this mod, which essentially uses an older set of the game’s animations. PATCH 18 (Empire Divided) UPDATE NOTES: With the introduction of Empire Divided and its accompanying patch (Patch 18), CA fundamentally altered battle animations, removing many of them and breaking most kill animation mods. This mod is a requested abbreviated form of my 'Kill Animation Battle Overhaul' mod, which you can see and download here:
