''1866: A Mount & Blade Western'' is a [[GameMod mod]] for the videogame ''[[VideoGame/MountAndBlade Mount And Blade]]'' ('''NOT''' ''Warband''). It is set in the Texas-Mexico border area of 1866, and involves a lot of factions. The main factions are USA, Mexico (the loyalist faction), and two Indian factions (Apache and Comanche). There are also a whole bunch of minor factions, representing Confederate soldiers who didn’t surrender, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_intervention_in_Mexico supporters of the Mexican emperor]], and a dozen of bandit and raider factions.
Some additional informations and a download link are available [[http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/board,150.0.html here]].
For tropes related to the gameplay which are unchanged from the unmodded game, refer to the ''VideoGame/MountAndBlade'' page.
----
!! ''1866: Western Mod'' Mod Provides Examples Of:
* ActionGirl: There are a few of them among the companions (Red Haired Sally, Mah-wis-ah, Catastrophe Jill). The player character can be one.
* TheAmericanCivilWar: The mod is set one year after its end, but it still has some elements in the mod:
** The MultipleChoicePast quizz of character creation includes a question asking which side the player character chose during the war of the previous years. Note that the question also allows to be a former soldier of the war in Mexico instead of the American Civil War.
** There is a minor faction of Confederate remnants in the game.
** There is a quick battle scenario about the Battle of Gettysburg, in which the player is an Union soldier.
* ArcherArchetype: Among the Indian units. Especially, the Indian companions Thunder Seeker and Smiling Rabbit are archers.
* ArmorIsUseless: Downplayed. There are functional armours and helmets in the mod, but due to the setting, they only consist in shirts / jackets (at best, hard leather clothes) and cow-boy hats, instead of chainmal and iron helmets. They just provide a very limited protection.
* AnAxeToGrind: A few Indian units wield small mêlée hatchets and throwing tomahawks.
* BadassBandolier: A decorative feature on one of the armours. Carl Brine starts the game while wearing one.
* BadassInANiceSuit: A few armours are nice suits. State militiamen, Pinkerton agents, Jackie Luong, and Charles Huntington wear one.
* BadassLongcoat: It is one of the armours. Some hired guns and companions start with one, and the outlaw Relington Robert (playable character in quick battle) too.
* {{Bandito}}: There are two actual faction of them (the scalphunters and the Hoffman Banda), and any party deserter party counting an important number of soldiers from the Mexico faction fits this trope. Peyote Pablo is a hirable stoned bandito.
** The mod allows to hire prisoners and to choose which type of soldiers (American army, American lawmen, American outlaws, Mexican army, Mexican outlaws, Comanche, Apache) can be recruited in the settlements owned by the player. This and the possibility to play as a outlaw allows a player to lead a full bandito party.
* BankRobbery: The mod features a bank in a few of the big towns of the worldmap. Robbing the bank is an action in the contextual menu when going to one. Entering in it is automatic and looting the safe uses the same interface that the battlefield loot after a battle. The main part of the action consists in shooting the men who come in order to escape.
** The bank belong to the lawmen / outlaws minor faction which has its headquarter in the same town. Robbing the bank is considered as a declaration of war by the faction. It is actually the easiest way to do it, instead of attacking a party of several dozen of men and risking heavy causualities.
* BestialityIsDepraved: "Wanted for raping the horses and riding off on the women".
* CoolSword: US army sabre.
* CowBoy
* CoolGuns: Winchester rifle, [=LeMat=] revolver.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: Averted. A wounded unit can eventually die from blood loss if the battle last too long. Weirdly, it only affects the units which are still fit for battle, not the ones which have been stunned.
* DashinglyDapperDerby: It is one of the numerous helmets in the game. It is especially worn by Jackie Luong, Charles Huntington, and the state militia troops.
** DastardlyDapperDerby: Can arguably apply to some state militia troops, as they are mostly used by the (corrupt) Lawmen factions.
* DifficultButAwesome: Having an ArcherArchetype as player character. At low level, the character is a lot less effective than a rifleman. At high level, the character has a lot of hit points (to have a high level in the archery skill, it is necessary to have an high strenght stat, which gives bonus hitpoints), inflicts the same damages as an average carbine, and doens’t have to reload at all (especially interesting since, like in the Native ''Mount & Blade'', being hit in battle has a chance to interrupt the reloading action , which then has to be done again).
* DirtyCop: The mod features four minor factions of bandits which are described as corrupted lawmen who act exactly like the four mini factions of non-ambiguously criminal gangs.
* DisproportionateRetribution: The {{Wanted Poster}}s sometimes mention that the target is wanted for eating chewing-gum or ''spiting on someone’s shoes''.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Wearing some specific items related to them gives a chance to not be spotted by the bandit factions when travelling on the worldmap. For example, wearing a Confederate uniform will have this effect for Renegade Confederate parties.
* DropTheHammer: The large railwork hammer in one of the few two-handed weapons. Handsome Hank starts the game with one.
* EasterEgg:
** One of the modders added a skeleton wearing a bowler hat in every scenes he created.
** The ''[[Franchise/TheDarkTower Dark Tower]]'' ShoutOut mentioned below.
* EvilCounterpart: In term of lore, each of the major faction have a minor faction as an EvilCounterpart, which form an antagonistic relationship in which both parties are always at war against each other:
** USA against Confederate renegades.
** Mexico (Mexican rebels) against Imperialists (Mexican supporters of the Emperor Maximilian).
** Comanche / Apache against Indian raiders.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It is a Western-themed mod set in 1866.
* {{Expy}}:
** Bartholomew Jones is one to Sheriff Bart from ''Film/BlazingSaddles''.
** Tears-in-his-Eyes is one to Loved By the Buffalo from ''IntoTheWest''.
** Handsome Hank is one for the legendary figure [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_%28folklore%29 John Henry]].
* FightingClown: The Clown, of course. He starts the game with no clothing at all except a red nose and a white collar.
* GhostTown: Tull.
* GlobalCurrency: Denars have been replaced by American currency, who is accepted in Mexico.
* GunPorn: TheWildWest variant. There are several dozens of pistols and rifles from the era.
* GunsAreWorthless: Downplayed. Pistols aren’t much more powerful than some mêlée weapons, but rifles are very powerful. Also, most of the companions (and the player character) starts the game with proficiency a lot higher in long guns than in pistols.
* TheGunslinger: Hickory Jim presents himself as a revolver ace who is sick of being challenged by amateurs who are regularly killed by their own foolishness. There are also some Mexican outlaw units named Pistolero, which is an equivalent of Gunslinger in Spanish and French.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The main factions commanders are historical characters (Ulysse S. Grant, George A. Custer, Benito Juarez, Porfirio Diaz, Geronimo, etc). Interestingly, the companions feature few real obscure historical characters (Black-Indian metis scout Romero, Indian squaw Mah-wis-ah, Irish cook Red Haired Sally) but some more famous Wild West historical characters appear as companions in a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed style (see below).
* HorseArcher: Some Indian units.
** Technically, shooting a rifle or a pistol from horseback is related, as it involves the same skill.
* HumanResources: The scalphunters received their name because they are bandits which scalps their victims and sell the scalp. It is only mentioned in the background description of the faction, not used ingame.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Rifle-stock used as club, meat cleaver, pickaxe, railworker hammer, shovel.
* InterserviceRivalry: The four lawmen factions are independant from each others, which mean that they can (and probably will) eventually fight against each others.
* KnifeNut:
** There is a wide array of mêlée knives (and a throwing knives weapon) in the mod.
** Romeo’s default fighting skills are focused on throwing knives.
* LostForever: If the player character leaves Tull before having triggered [[spoiler:the spawing of its zombie inhabitants]], the event won’t occur at all if he comes back there.
* TheMedic: Dr. Valentine.
* UsefulNotes/MexicansWithMachineGuns
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: Very borderline example. There are no antagonisms at all inside the party, but eight of the eighteen party members can’t be recruted by every player character, depending of the race chosen by the player during the creation of his character. For example, Peyote Pete can only be recruited by a Mexican player character, Hickory Jim by an American, Carl Bine refuses to follow an Indian (his backstory states that he lost his family because of an Indian raid), etc.
* NiceHat
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Among the companions:
** Dr. Valentine is inspired by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine_McGillycuddy Valentine McGillycuddy]].
** Hickory Jim is inspired by Wild Bill Hickok.
** Catastrophe Jill is inspired by Calamity Jane (of course).
* NoNameGiven:
** Among the companions, a few of them are called by obvious nicknames or incomplete named: The Clown, Red Haired Sally, and Catastrophe Jill
** There’s also the characters Man with no Name and Mysterious European, playable in the quick battle scenarios.
* TheOldestProfession: There are prostitutes in the towns. Sleeping with one provides a morale boost to the party.
* OneStatToRuleThemAll / DumpStat: It depends on the character. The modders advice to put most of the player character stat points into agility and charisma, to have high martial skills and a numerous army (strenght being the dump state). For the other party members, it depends on the role intended: full intelligence for the medic, the scout, and the engineer, full agility for the looter, and a standard fighting build for the other members of the party.
* {{Outlaw}}: Several factions of them (literal outlaws, bandits), which can be joined by the player. WordOfGod stats that Norm Finkleton has been created to fit this trope.
* PistolWhipping: Sort of. One of the blunt weapons is a club made from a rifle stock.
* PinkertonDetective: They are one of the units of the Lawmen factions. They are top-tier units armed with six-shot carbines.
* RailShooter: The sidequest of protecting a train. The player character stands on the plateform of a moving train and shoots bandits.
* TheRemnant: The Renegade Confederates minor faction is composed of CSA soldiers who didn’t surrender after the end of the Secession War. They are small parties of bandits who rob travellers in order to amass money and weapons. They dialog lines state that they do it to keep on fighting against the Union.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: There are a few pistols which aren’t revolvers, they usually are weak and one-shot-before-reloading weapons.
* TheSavageIndian: The Indian raiders bandits. The actual Indian major factions (Comanches and Apaches) have the same dialogs and behaviours that USA and Mexico.
** There are two quick battles scenarios (actually, it is the same with a PerspectiveFlip) involving Indians raiding a convoy.
* SawedOffShotgun: It is one of the pistol-type weapons.
* ShortRangeShotgun: The game features a few short range rifles (and a SawedOffShotgun), with magazines of one or two rounds, which play this trope straight. Their low magazine capacity is balanced by their power and radius blast at short range.
* ShovelStrike: It is one of the mêlée weapons.
* ShoutOut:
** There is an abandoned town which main street is full of desiccated corpses. It is named [[Literature/TheGunslinger Tull]]. [[spoiler:The zombies don’t come from the book, though]]. It is also an EasterEgg, as the town appears on the map only if the player’s party comes close enough.
** The "Man with no name" quick battle scenario, which puts the player in the middle of a shooting in a town, playing the Creator/ClintEastwood character (name, face, and clothes) from [[TheDollarsTrilogy a series of famous movies]]. He also can be played in a custom battle.
** One of the bounty hunting targets refers to a man "Wanted for rape, murder, arson, and rape". It refers to a line from ''Film/BlazingSaddles''.
* ShowdownAtHighNoon: Bounty hunting quests occasionally allow to fight typical Western-like duels.
* SniperRifle: One of the rifle looks like one. It is the most powerful and accurate ranged weapon of the game, but its magazine can only hold one bullet at a time, its reload time is very long, and the rifle can only be reloaded by a unit which is standing still.
* TheStoner: Peyote Pablo.
* ThrowAwayGuns: Depending on the items owned, on the party’s average level, and on the respective balance between the player’s party and the enemies than are coming close.
** Generic principle: Each firearm in the inventory slots is fully loaded and starts consuming relevant ammunitions from other inventory slots only after being reloaded. Being hit when reloading stops the reloading action, which have to be done again from its beginning. There are several different ammunition items, corresponding to the number of bullets inside the item slot. The maximum amount of ammunitions per bag the heroes are allowed to use is determined by a party skill named "stockpiling". For all those reasons, it can be more useful to keep two identical firearms instead of just one with its ammunitions.
** Here is a specific example in which this trope is especially useful. With a 0 level in stockpiling, the party can only use bags of thirty pistol bullets and twenty rifle bullets. One of the best repeating rifle of the mod is a Winchester with a magazine capacity of fifteen rounds. So, with such a rifle and an ammunition bag, the member of a low level party benefits from fifty already loaded shots, plus fifty shots after reloading, plus five last shots after his last reloading. In the same party, having two of those Winchesters grants two times fifteen shots, which are only separated by the unstoppable and nearly immediate action of switching gun, instead of the uncertain reloading.
* TrainJob:
** Some sidequests requires the player to protect a train and shoot the outlaws who are trying to ambush it.
** One of the quick battles places the player as an outlaw taking part in a raid against a Mexican train which is immobilized on the railway.
* TribalFacepaint: The Indians (including the player character) wear some, not only on the face but also on the chest and the back. It can be customized at will but requires to wear a special armour item whuch offers no chest and legs protection at all. This item allows to travel unotified by the Indian raiders.
* UniversalAmmunition: There are only three kinds of ammunitions: arrows, pistol bullets (including revolvers, Derringers, flintlock pistols, and sawed-off shotguns), rifle bullets (including Winchester-like rifles, shotguns, and high caliber one-shot-before-reload rifles). On the same time, the rifles and pistols supposed to fire the same ammunitions don’t.
* VoodooZombie: It is unclear if voodoo is the actual cause ([[OurZombiesAreDifferent they don’t fit the other zombie tropes]] and act like standard AI-controlled hostile NPC), but this kind of zombies is encountered in the "Zombie Fun" quick battle scenario (their coming is implied to be caused by the building of the town above an Indian graveyard) and in [[spoiler:Tull in the campaign.]]
* WantedPoster: There is one in major cities, it triggers some bounty hunting quests and tells why the man has been wanted, sometimes in a humourous way ("raping the horses and riding off on the women"). Note that the quest is completed wheither the target is killed or captured alive.
* WeirdWest: If the player character explores Tull deeply enough, he will have to fight against [[spoiler:a horde of undead]]. There is also a quick battle involving a zombie outbreak in a small town build on an Indian graveyard.
* TheWestern
* TheWildWest
* UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks
* YouNoTakeCandle: It is how speaks Jackie Luong, a Chinese immigrant and former railroad worker.
