DOWNLOAD SWORD OF DAMOCLES V5.0 HERE
Download Ninja “hidden” Mount&Blade 1.011 Patch
(The M&B patch is not required but greatly increases game play with unlimited troop types and bug fixes!)
Tons of useful SoD Links
Sword of Damocles Team:
Cyclohexane, Kuba, and MorrisB
We assembled a new SoD team representing Hungary, Poland, and the United States. The old teammates of SoD including FleshyStarfish, Mordachai, Shjn, Twan, and vonMistont have retired but their legend lives on.
All of the new eye candy I added would not be possible without Kuba’s mad programming skills. The man behind the scene has fixed hundreds of bugs and spent countless hours making this an awesome mod. MorrisB’s dialogs, history, and lore bring a new RPG feel and dimension to the game. It’s still the sandbox game we love, but the characters come alive. There are still a few known bugs, but they will not affect game play and this is definitely the most stable and fun version of SoD yet!
Why choose Sword of Damocles?
Sword of Damocles is the most complex and advanced kingdom management mod available. It does not simply add player's kingdom and lords under his command but it simulates kingdom management by adding population to fiefs, health, ability to create laws, reworking the economy, and construction of buildings. It allows the choice of faith which influences the kingdom, allows the building of religious structures, and grants special faith based troops.
Sword of Damocles offers a realistic army management system where military buildings are required to upgrade faction exclusive troops, army detachments can be created, and orders issued to lords through a Strategic Map. Mercenaries from 7 different guilds can be hired to fight and defend the newly conquered lands. On top of that, Sword of Damocles provides a background story without losing that M&B sandbox feel. The Imperial Legion has destroyed your homeland and now comes to conquer Calradia.
To fight the threat you'd better arm yourself. There are over 600 new items and 300 new troops; including 13 completely unique factions. Sword of Damocles also adds game play tweaks, graphical and performance enhancements, and many other features.
A few of the most popular are a strategy advisor that follows you to battle and provides information on all of the troops trees thru the camp menu, the ability to set up custom battles, a camera that allows you to observe the battle after you are wounded and not leave your soldiers as a prey for auto resolve system, formations and battle morale, custom graphics and new scenes, improved auto-loot to manage companions, companion management screen, seal pacts with guilds, guild representatives that will follow your council, etc.

Welcome to Sword of Damocles - Gold v5.0. Before starting, read this guide and speak with strategy advisor from the camp menu. You may want to change civilizations or faiths based on play style and this cannot be done later without restarting. Some Sword of Damocles features are completely different from what you may be used to in Mount and Blade so reading the description is essential to playing and enjoying the mod. You can access this description any time from Reports menu.
I KINGDOM MANAGEMENT
Become a King:
- Conquer any castle or town to become a King
- New options become available:
--- A council consisting of a Marshal, Chancellor, and Treasurer will appear in all castles / towns
--- The Strategy Advisor will follow your council and be available in the camp menu, but will not follow you into battle
--- High relations (30+) with mercenary guilds will allow a guild representative to follow around council
--- A new option in the Camp Menu will appear titled ‘Kingdom Management’ with 4 sub-topics:
------ Fief Management - centralized menu of all fiefs
------ Kings Edicts - Enables panel to enact laws
------ Strategic Map - Overview of Calradia that allows you to give orders to your vassals
------ Royal Artifacts - Send upper tier nobles on a mission to recover elite royal equipment
- 20 Lords available for recruitment from the homeland:
--- Talk with Chancellor to recruit new Lords: Must have at least one fief available to give away (and still have a fief for you)
--- Lord's need income to build armies
--- Lord's without fiefs will have negative relations and won't make profit to supply an army
--- Lords upgrade their fiefs
- Castles allow advanced military buildings to be constructed (that cannot be constructed in cities)
--- Castles do not provide income yet incur weekly maintenance fees (150, or 100 with Blacksmith)
- Monitor the health of villages and beware of health related random events
Population & Taxes:
- Town and Village population is a factor of the taxation income
--- Population is base income of fief modified by prosperity, religion acceptance, buildings, and edicts
--- Population will automatically grow but low relations with fief, bad health, raids, random events, or forced draft will decrease it
--- Minimum & maximum population for Villages is 50/500 and for Towns 500/3,000
--- Taxes come from 3 separate sources: Peasants, Towns, and Royal Tribute (from player's homeland Lords)
- Administration and Intrigues skill indirectly affect taxable income. For more information on their effect on taxes, see Chapter II, RULER'S SKILLS & DIPLOMACY
Faith:
- 5 faiths to choose from at character creation:
--- The One: Monotheist, hierarchic faith
--- Old Gods: Pagans as we would call it, faith honoring Ancestors
--- The Void: Bloody nihilistic cult
--- Enlightenment: Individualistic, self-realization religion
--- Natural Philosophy: Scientific oriented and skeptics (some faith troops will carry gun powder weapons)
- Each faith has unique faith troops (25 total, 5 per faith), 4 religious buildings, and affects kingdom's population
--- Only 1 faith troop is possible per game based on the SoD homeland faction and faith chosen
--- The faith troop is always an elite unit of the same classification of your factions’ nobles (i.e. noble archers will spawn range based faith troops which differ based on faith and faction)
- High global faith allows upgrade of elite Noble Troops to Zealots* (random event)
--- The base chance of high tier elite noble to be upgraded to zealot is checked daily at 50% (relation with clergy, global faith, and edicts affect this % chance of event occurring)
--- Upgrade Zealots* in castle's chapel into Faith Troops
- Cannot change faith after character creation so choose wisely. Speak with strategy advisor and/or enable Jester cheats early game to view all the available faith troops (which cannot be used until late game)
- Local faith acceptance has influence on population:
--- Faith can modify fief's income up to 10%
--- Low faith acceptance will have negative effect on relations with fiefs
- Speak with Chancellor or view the Report Menu for faith level reports
Royal Edicts:
- Edicts Panel becomes available after becoming King / Queen
- Only 10 laws can be active at once
- Can view Edict Modifiers such as relations with Clergy and Nobles from the Camp Menu -> Kingdom Management -> Fief Management Menu (lower right)
--- When relations are low with clergy, global faith will be decreased weekly. High relations provides bonuses to global faith.
--- When relations are low with nobility, fewer noble troops will immigrate to your kingdom (none if it is less than -50). High relations provide additional noble troops to immigrate to your kingdom.
- There are a total of 36 Edicts divided into 4 categories of laws based on the 4 social classes: Villagers, Townspeople, Clergy, and Nobility

II RULER'S SKILLS & DIPLOMACY
Administration Skill & Demesne:
- For each level of Administration skill, receive 50 Demesne Points (DP)
- Each fief has base DP value: Village 10 DP, Castle 15 DP, and Towns 30 DP
- Each difference between your DP and cumulated fief's DP value, tax income will change 1% up or down for all fiefs
--- Administration becomes less effective when ruling a large empire
--- For example, a King with administration 1 (50 DPs) with 3 Towns, 2 Castles, and 3 Villages (150 DP total), a -100% income modifier will be applied
--- Either increase administration skill or decentralize rule (give fiefs to vassals thru Chancellor) to maximize fief income
- Demesne for each fief can be modified by constructing buildings or passing laws (Edicts). The lower the fief’s demesne value, the easier it is to rule. NOTE: A positive demesne modifier is a penalty, a negative demesne modifier is a bonus.
Intrigues & Propaganda:
- Intrigues skill provides all the Native Persuasion skill bonuses
- For each level of Intrigues skill, receive 50 Propaganda Points (PP)
-----Base PP at 0 skill level is 10
-----Each fief owned subtracts from this value
- Each fief has base PP value: Village 10 PP, Castle 5 PP, Town 30 PP
- Disorder level (in Fief Management window) is the propaganda value required in order to maintain positive relations with all of your fiefs. If the disorder level is higher than propaganda, you will lose relations with fiefs.
- Difference between your PP and cumulated fief's PP value, result in a weekly relations modifier with all fiefs:
Propaganda Points Weekly Relations Change With Fiefs
-200 -10
-150 -7
-100 -5
-70 -4
-50 -3
-30 -2
-30 to 0 -1
0 to 60 0
60+ +1
120+ +2
180+ +3
240+ +4
Diplomacy:
-Badboy (infamy) system: If you look like a threat for Calradians, they will react and form an alliance against you
--- Initial badboy is based on relation with Calradians
--- Gain badboy when take cities and castles or develop religion
--- Lose badboy every week, according to honor, size of realm, and number of universities
--- If badboy reaches 40, war may be declared on you
- War / peace system provides explanations of AI decisions to the player:
--- If peace proposal accepted, a 30 day truce must be respected before restarting war or lose honor and gain badboy
--- AI never breaks truces
- Kingdoms decide to start war or propose peace based on their power
--- They have objectives and try to expand territory
--- Their situation determines their ambition (how offensive the lords are)
--- Lord personalities and personal situation influences decisions when compared to other lords (i.e. lords richer than average raid less often)
- Select a field Marshall from one of your available lords to represent your kingdom on the battlefield while you are performing other kingly duties.
--- At least 4 vassals are required in order to choose a field Marshall (which in turn requires a minimum of 5 fiefs).
--- When 4 vassals are available, speak with the Marshall in your castle’s council and select the Field Marshall directly or hold an election.
III ARMY MANAGEMENT
Recruiting Troops:
- Villagers can be recruited as:
--- Native Recruits: Khergit, Nord, Rhodok, Swadia, or Vaegir factions
------ Requires a native faction’s castle or town military facility to upgrade
------ Player cannot construct native military buildings so use of Native troops is limited
--- Mercenary Recruits: (i.e. farmers that upgrade on standard mercenary path)
------ Roam the map as jobless mercenary parties
------ Can be upgraded in the Camp Menu anywhere on the map without a military building
--- Homeland Factions Recruits:
------ Most cost effective troops available
------ Requires homeland military facility to be constructed at a castle / town to upgrade
- Mercenaries can be recruited in taverns or from Mercenary Guilds:
--- Random mercenaries show up in taverns (including mercenaries not part of major guilds)
--- Tavern keeper allows Townspeople (upgrade to standard mercenaries), Refugees (upgrade to Sword Sisters), and Manhunters (upgrade to standard mercenaries) to be recruited
--- Ransom brokers can hire both Watchmen and Caravan Guards
--- Speak with Mercenary Guild Leaders at their base for additional details
Troop Wages:
- Troops wages vary based on level, but an army based of Homeland units is the least expensive:
--- Pay base wages for Homeland player exclusive troops (and Native troops)
--- Mounted units cost 65% more
--- Mercenaries cost 50% more (includes guild and random tavern mercenaries)
--- Mounted mercenaries have both cost penalties applied
Upgrading Troops:
- Unlike Native, SoD troops do not miraculously upgrade with new equipment after battle. SoD troops upgrade to experienced versions, marked with *
- Experienced troops * have the same equipment as inexperienced counterparts but are at the same level as their upgraded unit (higher weapon proficiencies and skills)
- To upgrade a homeland SoD unit, the proper military building must be constructed in a castle or town:
--- Barracks: Allow upgrade of peasants to melee footmen
--- Range: Allows upgrade of peasants to ranged footmen
--- Stables: Allow upgrade of basic melee footmen to cavalry
--- Chapters: Attracts noble refugees from fallen Homeland
------ You cannot train a peasant to become a Noble; they only spawn when this building is constructed
------ Chapters allow the Noble troop line to be upgraded
--- Chapel: Allows zealous noble troops to be upgraded to Holy Warriors
- To upgrade a native unit, one must travel to that factions territory and upgrade at their castle or town
- To upgrade a mercenary unit, view the Camp Menu (with 10+ relations and permission) or travel to a mercenary base (allows easier upgrading of mercenary troops to offset higher costs)
- Upgrading troops costs money. Equipment costs can be lowered by constructing a blacksmith (reduces cost by 50%) and training from this location
- When experienced* troops are available and the proper military buildings constructed, talk to Marshal to order training
- Elite troops are limited early game since it is not possible to upgrade a “troop” past “troop*” until a military building is constructed (applies to Native and Homeland troops)
Regiments:
- At any time, troops can be detached from main party to create Regiments:
--- Talk to any troop in the Party menu and order a Regiment to be created
--- Regiment will spawn near party
--- Meet with the regiment to issue orders and add troops
--- Regiment will have same maximum troop cap as your party
--- Troops in a Regiment will cost 2x more weekly wages
Formations & Morale:
- Formations and Morale are ON by default. You can turn them OFF in Reports Menu->Sword of Damocles – Options -> Battle System Options to increase performance
- Sword of Damocles morale system: Low level recruits will run away but veterans will typically continue fighting when losing
- Use keyboard shortcuts to control formations & morale:
--- Key V: Call for Reinforcements - Experience Penalty
--- Key Y: Rally Troops - Experience Penalty
--- Keys J, P, K: Formations Ranks, Stagger, Wedge
--- Key U: Undo all formations
--- Key T: Show battle morale, if it goes below 200, army may start thinking of escape
Garrisoning Troops:
- As King, garrisoning orders can be given via Fief Management page
--- Set max garrison value for each walled center (default is 150)
--- Hire up to 5 trainers per each castle or town
--- First trainer costs 100, second 200, third 300, forth 400, and fifth 500 denars
--- Each trainer charges 50 denars weekly
--- One trainer can auto-garrison 2 recruits daily
--- Troops recruited by draft are subtracted from fief's population:
------ Each troop recruited is 1 population less in the town or village (belonging to castle)
------ Visit villages directly to recruit volunteers that are not counted as fiefs taxpaying population
--- Troops in castle's garrison will gain XP if specific military facilities are available (barracks to recruit and train infantry, practice range for archers, and stables for cavalry)
--- Trainers won't upgrade soldiers to higher tiers, only to the experienced* version
IV NEW FACTIONS:
Player Factions:
- Choose from 5 player exclusive factions with unique advantages and disadvantages:
--- Antarian Empire: Strong heavily armored melee infantry army with javelin thrower support and weak melee cavalry
--- Kingdom of Aden: Strong melee cavalry with mediocre melee infantry and weak archers
--- Republic of Marina: Strong melee infantry and crossbowmen supported by weak melee cavalry scouts
--- Villianese Duchy: Strong archers and decent melee infantry supported by weak ranged cavalry
--- Zerrikanian Sultanate: Well rounded army with melee and ranged infantry as well as melee and ranged cavalry. No obvious strengths or weaknesses but many units will spawn with blunt weapons.

General Mercenary Guild Features:
- Enjoy fighting or hiring mini-guilds on the map such as jobless mercenaries, forest bandits, mountain bandits, or the Boar Clan
--- Forest bandits and mountain bandits will join your party if you have less than -5 honor (and pay them), but it's random and may happen even if you have up to 15 honor
--- Parties grow stronger depending on player's level
--- No more weak looter parties, bandits are now a force to be feared
- Use the Report Menu or hold cursor over the Mercenary Guild leaders (in mercenary camps) to determine guild relations
- Raise relations with a mercenary guild by completing new quests or signing a pact
- Sealing a pact raises relations to +100 with that Guild
--- Cancelling the pact reduces relations to 0 (regardless of previous relations before pact was sealed)
- Can only have 1 pact with 1 Guild at a time and must have at least 1 castle (be considered a king)
- After you cancel a pact, you cannot start another pact with the same Guild for 1 month
- By design, you cannot seal a pact with the Slaver Guild (they are spread all throughout Calradia) or Boar Clan (can hire parties off the map)
- Can cancel contract with any mercenary party by talking with them (they demand weekly wages as a compensation)
- Can sell prisoners to the Slaver Guild Master or Slaver Guild Representative at 45 denars each
- When hire mercenaries from a Guild Representative in your castle/city, the troops will spawn from their mercenary guild base, not out of the castle/city you are currently located:
--- Slaver Guild Representative will send the party from the closest Slaver base (Sargoth, Praven, Tulga, Jelkala, and Reyvadin) to your current location
--- Depending on location, troops from the Slaver Guild Representative arrive faster than other guilds, since they have bases in all of Calradia (use this fact when selecting first castle)
- All native kings start off with a pact with the local guild:
--- It is possible to stumble upon a Guild Representative in another faction’s castle
--- Use them to hire troops if desired
- When you order mercenary parties that are carrying prisoners to go to a castle, they will drop all the prisoners off in your castle before leaving
--- An excellent source of funds, especially when using Slaver parties (and have a Slaver Guild Rep / Ransom Broker in your council)
- Attacking a mercenary field marshal grants -40 relations to the faction that hired the guild (or to commoner’s faction if no pact with any guild. The Slavers are an exception, it will be -40 with Slavers since they are not capable of pacts).
- Allow 2-3 days for available mercenaries to increase for hire to your party from guild leaders and representatives
--- Every day, 1 to 5 rank and file mercenaries (1 to 10 with pact) are randomly added to the available troop pool at the mercenary guild leader / representative if there are less than 15 available (30 with pact)
--- Every day, 1 elite high relation only mercenaries (2 with pact) are randomly added to the available troop pool at the mercenary guild leader / representative if there are less than 3 available (6 with pact)
Mercenary Party Price Information:
- Party Price = [(Sum of each soldiers joining costs) * (Size modifier) * (Contract length modifier)]
- The options of selecting a party to hire such as “recruits, average, or experienced” and “melee infantry, ranged infantry, cavalry, or a mixed army” affect the price indirectly since each individual soldier’s price is included

--- 50 men: 5% discount
--- 75 men: 10% discount
--- 100 men: 15% discount
--- 125 men: 20% discount

- Length of contract discount:
--- 1 month: 0% discount
--- 3 months: 15% discount

- These bonuses encourage picking a favorite guild and signing a pact. However, high relations with another guild will still provide enough benefit to use more than one successfully
- Pact doubles the number of available rank and file troops (to 30) and elite troops (to 6) available for hire to your party
- Receive 25% discount when hiring parties and individual soldiers (the weekly rate is also decreased as long as hold pact)

- Lords will hire mercenary parties to follow them
- Individual mercenaries will also be hired directly into Lords parties and fiefs
- A discount to pacts weekly price is received the longer the pact is paid on time:
--- A 5% discount is applied for each week paid in a row up to 50% off (10 weeks paid)
--- If cancel pact (and wait 1 month to renew), no discount is offered until make consecutive successful payments again
- Since a pact automatically grants 100 relations, all high relation bonuses are also in effect when you sign a pact

--- 100 (25+ relations)
--- 125 (50+ relations)
--- 150 (75+ relations)

--- There is a cheater counter to count the number of times cheats were used
--- The Jester allows other cheats not available in the Camp Menu such as (+ any troop, + any item, +/- relations with any faction, and + any fief)
Starting Tips to find yourself in the new world:
- Start off in Calradia as the last heir to player faction with a small force of homeland troops
- Speak with the Strategy Advisor in the Camp Menu for detailed descriptions of the new civilizations, troop trees, history, and the invasion
--- Troop trees are textures so temporarily increase in-game resolution if screen is blurry
- At the beginning, you will not have access to military facilities to upgrade experienced troops* to next tier and your small starting force is not strong enough to conquer a castle
- Supplement army by recruiting mercenaries from villages, taverns, and in Mercenary Guilds
--- Native troops can be recruited from villages but beware, you can only upgrade them with that factions military buildings (this feature limits creating cheap super armies such as Villianese archers with Swadian cavalry)
- Until your renown is high enough to field a large number of troops, create regiments (by speaking with troops) to bring large armies to a siege
- Do not become anyone's vassal or try to make pretender quest in Native. SoD does not support pretender quests or serving as a vassal to another king!!!
- Capture a castle or town to become a ruler
- Watch for enemy retaliation. If lost most of troops capturing a castle, the castle will be lost soon
--- An easy way to build up castle defenses is hire a mercenary party for a month long contract to sit in castle until strength increases
--- Forest and Mountain bandits, Jobless Mercenary parties, as well as the Boar Clan can also be hired off the map to quickly increase the size of your army
- Immediately commission a military building project, start from barracks or range so peasants can be upgraded
--- It is economical to first hire a companion with engineering skill before taking the first castle so the building will be cheaper and constructed faster
- Don't build a stables first, only first tier foot soldiers can upgrade to cavalry (which requires a barracks). Don't build noble chapters as first building either, it is expensive and nobles come slowly
- Consider visiting Jester to test Homeland troops in Skirmish Custom Battle to see strengths and weaknesses |
