Hello again, welcome to my 8th mod. For those who know Kriegsland, i only need to say thanks for all your support in these 2 years!

For those who don't, i'd like to invite you to give a go on a mod that's all about shooting nazis and robots with high tech weaponry, using gadgets, dual wielded weapons and, more importantly, getting psyched

---

Nova Berlin, 1985.

Four decades have passed since the turn of events that brought German as victorius from the second world war. Ever since then, the whole world got impacted by the horrors that continued to exist even after. Military, belial industries and the high society had huge investments. Common technology, high-level education and medicine advanced quickly in many years... for those who could afford it.

The collapse was inevitable. An economical crisis took over. The so then "perfect" model of society was no more. The future was not brighter. Little by little, cutting costs became a higher priority. Allied countries had their privileges revogated, contracts were broken, relationships were ended. The Reich weakened, and it was an opportunity. Betrayed countries turned sides and joined forces. New resistance groups, aside from the smaller ones that always existed (and didn't get caught), started to appear. And that's where you come in.

In Kriegsland II: Untergrund you'll be in the skin of Forest Tyler.

Forest was pretty much known as a drug dealer in the slums and local rendez-vous points of the resistance, selling Pervitin and whatever drugs the soldiers used, to keep people pumped up for riot fights and breakouts. What wasn't really known, though, is that he also worked for years to the nazi intelligence, providing information about meetings and dossiers of specific members, in exchange of anything that resembled money, new equipments or safety from the dictatorship. Being a drug dealer was the perfect disguise in his place, since he couldn't join resistance teams or hang around the same spots for too long, and it also gave a fake hope of external help.

When the crisis kicked in, the nazi brain just decided they couldn't keep the high bribes and trust on somebody who could double cross them, and decided to give Forest one last mission. The briefing oriented him to obtain informations at a designated point, and there, he found nothing but three nazi machineguns pointed at him.

Forest wouldn't beg for his life, he knew the risks. He drained from their money as much as he could and also knew that too much information could be deadly. When closing his eyes, he heard shots from another place. Three nazi guards got shot in the head and fell at his feet, motionless. He was safe for now. His friends from the resistance membership invited him to join, to start over, and fight the nazis for real.

Forest refused, not by arrogance, but nobody knew better than him how much sadness and loss he brought to the world by supporting the nazis, thinking in no one but himself, being scared of death, waiting for the day the contract would expire.

But now he will fight his own war, until the reich crumbles into ruins.

I don't like to do this, but consider it a Q&A, because it's needed.

• HUD needs to be scaled to fullscreen. Most features and gimmicks take advantage of the HUD.
• All weapons have a zooming feature. Forest glasses are capable of doing so.
• This mod has binds for melee, akimbo, nightvision and grenades, both in "Customize Controls" and "Extra" menus.
• No new nazis are included for now, and please take in mind it is a hard work to do.
• If much requested, a version with the nazis already imbued in will be done, but keeping three files at once is harder than you imagine.
• It's a thing in my mods: "Extra" menu has tons of performance and gameplay options, all for the sake of comfort. Be sure to take a look.
• Akimbo'd weapons (still) don't have a zoom feature. I am working on this.
• Cross akimbos are (still) not ready yet. I am working on this.
• Scoped weapons will have different scope screens. I am working on this.
• I am aware of the "grenade riding" glitch. I loved it. I don't plan to remove it for now.
• Sliding like in the first game may or may not come back. It was cool, but had a hard code to understand (for me, not the author's fault), and it offered less to the game than i thought. Again, it may come back, but if you were a fan of it, don't get your hopes too high.
• If possible, don't ask for plasma weapons. I've tried more than 14 different weapons for Plasma Rifle and BFG replacers, and none worked, satisfied me or looked fun enough. The model of Doom gaming is simple and effective, but i don't think i could find a way of suit it into Kriegsland II. There's nothing at the moment i can show, which you haven't seen in other mods already.

Unfortunately, Zandronum support is not possible. But older versions of GZDoom (such as 3.2) and even LZDoom work perfectly.

In Kriegsland II, you'll see a very different take from the first, ranging for a more complete (but not boring) gameplay. Forest Tyler (you, in case you haven't read the lore) has many tricks out-of-the-box, partially thanks to his glasses that grant a nice HUD, Nightvision and zooming view!

• Compatibility with Doom, Heretic, Chex Quest and now Hexen!
• Quick kick!
• Quick Grenades!
• Zooming!
• Dual wielding (that can be binded)!
• Anytime, anywhere, nightvision!
• Ready to be playable with many monster packs!
• Hidden easter eggs!
• And more soon...

While this mod does not have the astonishing laser effects, dozens of weapons, cross akimbos (YET), sliding and spetacular effects from the first, you'll notice that weapons are far more simple, more effective, more satisfying to shoot, game looks more beautiful in general, and you can help even more with feedback!

AS ALWAYS, it's good to remind people:

Kriegsland II: Untergrund
This is the same as above! Use it with any monster or maps you desire, play it with nazis or vanilla, the world is yours. Feedback is appreciated, There are bugs present, things to do, but we are just getting warmed up.

Have you downloaded the mod, but you don't see nazis? Fear not. This is intentional, as i made Kriegsland II intended to be playable with our old friend from the first game, the Enemies-Only patch down below! You can load them by dragging both into GZDoom launcher, using ZDL, or any method as you like, but keep an eye on, because the old nazis will soon be updated with lots of stuff.

DOWNLOAD!

Kriegsland Enemies Pack!

Just like the first game! You can load this patch with Kriegsland II or any weapon mod that suits your tastes!
Be aware that it replaces difficulty levels with Kriegsland levels, so it can mantain the actors replacements. So the most convenient would be to load the KriegslandEnemies.pk3 BEFORE the weaponset desired.

If you, however, get any bugs with any weapon mod, feel free to point it out.
Combine Arms tend to lag Kriegsland Enemies a lot in my pc. I hope i am the only one.

The enemies pack can be used on Heretic (and soon Hexen) too!

Doomenator's Music pack!

This add-on made by Doomenator (with additional credits to TerminusEst13, Ryan Cordell and Marrub), gives Kriegsland a nice ambience by adding orchestral musics from Codename Panzers and World War II: Panzer Claws. Excellent to use with custom maps such as Epic, Epic 2, Going Down, Hell Revealed, among others!

Music Credits: Tolnay Peter, Ambrus Akos (Codename Panzers OST), Gerd Gunter Hoffman, Joachim Schafer (World War II: Panzer Claws OST).
Aditional Credits: StormRegion, In Images, ZUXXEZ Entertainment AG.

armymen's Music pack!

This music pack made by armymen12002003 has some fast paced techno and orchestral music from Fear 1, Fear 2 and Area 51. It's very frantic and gives a nice touch to the gameplay, specially on maps with high enemy numbers and lots of tight fights!

DOWNLOAD!

erni945's Music pack!

This add-on made by erni945 (with additional credits to TerminusEst13), brings to Kriegsland awesome Mick Gordon tunes, including musics from the Wolfenstein new games! Recommended for a closer experience with the Wolfenstein mood. It's 370MB in size, but TOTALLY worth it.

DOWNLOAD!

Disruptor Music pack!

This add on made by me (with credits to TerminusEst13) utilizes the same formulae of the other music add-ons, but substitutes the music with Disruptor (PSX) soundtrack. Hope you guys enjoy it.

As always, have fun and GET PSYCHED!

[Gideon020]

Could have a heavy machinegun and the hammergeweher be the Plasma and BFG.

But still, I'm looking to playing this and whatever future updates bring.

[Rex705]

I love Kriegsland and was always waiting for updates. Now I gotta try out the sequel. I was planning on doing some videos with this, now maybe I'll try out this one instead.

[affandede]

A new mod by GAA? This is a good day to be alive.

[Mister Neauxbauxdeay]

You listed Hexen twice in the game compatibility listings.

[Endie]

Gotta love what you did here.
The game isbfast paced, the gunplay is fluid, and the overall flow is awesome, nice job man

[UnbornDecay25]

While I am very excited, shooting demons in the face in a Nazi mod feels weird, lol. I'm gonna wait till they're implemented. However, I do like the whole revolution vibe, eagerly awaiting more updates

[Korell]

Is the Kriegsland Enemies pack here different to the one linked to for Kriegsland 1, and designed for Kriegsland 2, or is it more of an updated version of the original Kriegsland Enemies pack for use with both Kriegsland 1+2?

[Black Rock Shooter]

Congrats on the release, chief! Love ya.

[Valherran]

Ran through Doom 1 and 2, not bad at all.

Hexen needs some touch-ups though, the HUD is little strange, and the menu cursor is missing.

I do have some issues though:

1. The kick is worthless. It does little to no damage and doesn't even knock-back or stun. Brutal Doom style kicks would be very useful.

2. Punch damage range is too wide, sometimes it takes twice as many hits to kill something.

3. I'd like an option for used medkits to disappear or fade away on pick-up.

4. Nazis deal too much damage through armor. Even when trying not to get hit as much as possible, I easily chew through all of the medkits in the level when they do get some hit off on me. Is this intended?

It is exactly the same pack as the first! I will update it in the future, add new enemies, remove some that always felt off, and add more gimmicks. But rest assured that i'll inform you all when it happens.

You listed Hexen twice in the game compatibility listings.

Fixed, thank you!

Nothing new in terms of weapons now, but i think this can be a stable weaponset. Thanks =)

Thanks for the feedback! As for number 3, there is actually an option in "Extra menu" called "Medikit Litter". Turn it off and they'll fade away after 3 seconds! =)

Number 4 might be depending on which difficulty level you are playing on. Suicide and the 4th secret difficulty level are unforgiving when it comes to open maps, i admit (i die a lot of times and my wife mocks me for dying in my own mod hahaha). But thais is not news for me, so maybe i'll keep their high accuracy and tone down the damage.

Thank you all!

[mutator]

i actually liked the main mod the author made but this is good too, will weapons have ability to reload as optional in feature or it will stay as how it is?

[Valherran]

Ah, missed that one, thanks for pointing that out.

A small decrease in accuracy would help too, not a lot just a little bit. The bigger enemies tear you up at pretty much any range even at long, kind of unfair and not in a challenging way.

Another thing I noticed is that the robot enemy that replaces the Baron of Hell, he is really REALLY resistant to the slot 7 weapon. It can take up to 6 shots before dying when most enemies die in 1-2. Is that also intentional?

[D3athStalker]

Pretty good mod, I really like the theme of it, which feels more modern yet still maintains some of the cyberpunk / WW2 theme the previous mod had. And the weapon sprites look gorgeous, especially the explosive sniper rifle.

I also would've never thought I'd see MK Special Forces in the credit list for a Doom mod. Lol

And here's a tiny bug report: The pickup message for Sturmflinte says that it is on Slot 3 whereas it's a Slot 7 weapon.

I am a fucking moron and didnt see that. Tysm for letting me know.
