Faction Tactics 1.0.3 — Install (Ungrull / anyone)

What you need

Who	Zip	Drops into
Dedicated / listen-host server	FactionTactics-Server.zip	BepInEx/plugins/FactionTactics.dll
Every player client	FactionTactics-Client.zip	BepInEx/plugins/FactionTactics.Client.dll

Both must be the same product version (1.0.3). Schema mismatch logs a loud error and ignores intents.

Requires BepInEx 5 (HarmonyX). Behavior-only: does not raise spawn/raid/encounter rates.

Server (GPortal / dedicated / listen-host)

1. Install BepInEx 5 on the Valheim dedicated (or listen-host) profile.
2. Unzip FactionTactics-Server.zip into the game root (or copy FactionTactics.dll into BepInEx/plugins/).
3. Optional: Thunderstore / r2modman — import FactionTactics-Server-Thunderstore.zip into the server profile (add icon.png before Thunderstore upload; see ICON.txt).
4. Boot once; confirm log: FactionTactics 1.0.3 loaded (1.0.3 hybrid commander….

Sticky enemy ownership / force server ownership stay default OFF (debug-only). Hybrid combat: server writes ZDO intents; owning client Drive.

Players (game clients)

1. Unzip FactionTactics-Client.zip → BepInEx/plugins/FactionTactics.Client.dll (or import Thunderstore client pack into the game profile).
2. Confirm log: FactionTactics.Client 1.0.3 loaded — owning-client combat executor….
3. Join the server that runs matching 1.0.3 server DLL.

Listen-host: install both DLLs on the host machine.

Doctrines (v1)

Roman, Death-Rush (Meadows Greyling), Ambush, VikingShieldWall, Steppe, InsectSiege, CharredLegion, PackHunters, ArtilleryJelly.
Siege Assault v1: Ambush + VikingShieldWall near workbench (no extra spawns).

Death-Rush: Greylings bee-line Charge and fight to the death (no kite/retreat). Optional vanilla alert SFX (EnableDeathRushScream).

Console knobs (1.0.3)

On dedicated / listen-host (server DLL), open the Valheim console and use:

• ft help — list knobs
• ft get MinSquadSize / ft set MinSquadSize 2 — live ConfigEntry (persisted)
• ft reload — reload cfg from disk
• ft status — version, squads, ZDO counters

Changes apply on the next SquadDirector tick (no DLL redeploy). See docs/CONSOLE-KNOBS.md.

Troubleshooting

If you see [FactionTactics] Intent schema mismatch — reinstall both packs from the same 1.0.3 release. Do not mix 0.3.x / 0.2.x with 1.0.3.
