Kriegsland Enemies Pack

Kriegsland Enemies Pack is the monster pack edition of the GAA1992 and Yukes Von Faust Doom mod that is based on the Wolfenstein franchise’s games (specially The New Order), Kriegsland.
This monsters only Kriegsland’s version is especially useful to be combined with weapon packs, keeping its enemies visuals, behaviors, sound effects, gore and drops. In fact, there are adaptations for some customized death from PWADs like Beautiful Doom and Final Doomer. Also, the game gets substantially more complicated with the Kriegsland Enemies Pack, since its enemies are way more lethal than the original ones. Besides the monsters, the mod also keeps the difficulty levels from Kriegsland: Genocide, Homicide and Suicide.

You will notice that the spawn of the enemies remains random, but the possibility of matches with too much unbalanced difficulty is not very high, as in the full Kriegsland's version. I mean, Kriegsland is a difficult mod because its enemies are very fast on the trigger and also formidably accurate, but you will not need so much luck for the map to not get even worse. Also, the lack of monster infighting contributes a lot for things to get even more. Some monsters lose health if they stay in the line of fire of certain others, but they don't infight. Another thing you will notice is that the Kriegsland gore wasn't not left out of this edition.

You will see that Kriegsland Enemies Pack offers many possibilities, although it isn't guaranteed to work with any and every weapons package or map out there. But, since  GAA1992 is always working on his mods, we can say that it's compatibility will be enhanced eventually.

The first part of the above video was recorded with the Mechatron mod and the first Jenesis megawad map. The second one was made with Heretic's E1M1 without any weapon pack.
The second vídeo, on its turn, shows the new monsters and difficulty levels and the Hexen compatiblity Kriegsland Enemies Pack brought in its version released on May, 4 2020.

Compatibility

I ran the mod here on GZDoom (2.4.0 and 3.2.0) and on Zandronum 3.0, with the IWADs from Doom II: Hell on Earth, The Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, Heretic and from both Freedoom’s phases. Since the version released on May 4, 2020, Kriegsland Enemies Pack is also compatible with Hexen.

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.
