Hi guys sorry to post about it here, but I couldn't find any good comparisons of the two overhauls. How do LME and NTW3 play differently, campaign and battles?

Thanks for the write-up. Very enlightening.

-Incredible you can hold out against so many stacks and enemies. I'd imagine that the hardest part is the beginning because, if you get stronger, then...

I'm away from my desktop and craving to hear about this mode since I've wanted it for so long.

What does the campaign run like? How are you doing and what's your strategy? What difficulty and mods...

This is why I shouldn't check Facebook while in the middle of a meditation session!

Coincidence that a long-term Dresden Patreon supporter gets his top most desired Total War experience built by the man himself? :whistling https://www.patreon.com/Dresden

This seems...

Way to go @TrippinDaJive ! (if this indeed working fine with the AI). I'd test myself but am away from my gaming computer for some time.

If it's not a lot of effort could you make something like...

I had an idea to do smoother Imperium scaling by increasing army bumps by 1 and having twice as many levels but same effects. Turned out it didn't work because of scripts but if it's possible to have...

Carthage declares war on you not only if you take Syracuse as Romans, but also if they take Syracuse. Sometimes there's a problem where they client state it though then you can just totally avoid a...

This mod has given me the challenge I'm looking for when Legendary base DEI wasn't enough.

I love seeing how the empires in the game can evolve. Appreciate any shares about unusual evolutions or diplomatic situations you've encountered.


On a practice opening of Egypt a while back I...

Ditto OP. I'd appreciate a buff to them past level 2. I never upgrade them and have to tear them down and rebuild when I conquer from the AI.

Couldn't we just increase diplomatic penalties with Imperium and make factions more likely to declare war on enemies with high penalties?

I tried making a Smoother Imperium mod to make Imperium...

I think this should be in the Official DEI Submods list on Steam

Ditto. Looks cool but Steam isn't showing it in my mods/packs despite definitely being subscribed (Steam bug).

@tiny
I was doing CiG on Legendary/N and found it too easy. There are 2 territories I rushed and everything else is too safe. Strong economy, natural hazards that create chokepoint borders, and too...

Should there be a new thread with what exactly is going on here @Dardo21? Seems interesting but there are 17 pages and main post hasn't been updated since April.

Yea it's honestly a really easy start even on high difficulties if you just wait for Satrapies to rebel then keep taking over whoever people hate the most. In my campaign everybody in the world is...

Thank you DEI team!

Maybe mention in notes more troops start dying before units are below half health in KAM battles? Keep those generals safe!

Parcipal and I use your Realism mod alongside KAM's battles mod. Needed to remove a few @'s to change the load order to fix unit costs, but overall best TW experience to-date.

I'm surprised no-one has said Macedon yet. Get a pike line with some reinforcing generals of companion cavalry.

I've never built an agriculture province aside from only food buildings and ignoring agriculture wealth. The income is just way too far below the other types without enough compensating bonuses.

+ 1 positive feedback. Please replace the CA design team. I will help in the rebellion. *shows cache of hidden steak knives*

I am failing to get proper unit prices from Official DEI Realism w/ Experimental Battle. Are you guys able to get this to work somehow or do we have to pick one or the other?

Is Alternative...

Should this mod still work or is it the kind that needs to be updated w/ every patch?

+1 for more work on Macedonian Wars. The most interesting mini-campaign to me.



That's my top pick for the campaign as well.

Just tested this. The March stance replaced Patrol :(

It is sort of logical, and balanced in-game, if more elite units have slightly lower upkeep costs like up to 1/6 since they need less food and administration per capita.

Carthage was getting owned by AI in my campaign. I played like 20 turns of Ptolemy with a trade agreement with Carthage. Syracuse had conquered the island and taken part of North Africa. A neutral...

But isn't it better to just have twice as many units that can flank or reinforce anyway?

In battles, I tend to find I get much higher returns on cost using lots of cheap units than fewer expensive ones if stack size isn't an issue. For example x2.25 units of normal slingers will beat a...

Popular factions:

Carthage vs Seleucids
Armenia vs Media vs Baktria
Macedon vs Massalia
Egypt vs Rome



Here's an article on advised rules to balance MP campaigns since CA doesn't try.

Multiplayer campaigns. You will learn from others and have to play the game knowing you won't always get Heroic Victories. The predictable campaign dynamics will play out differently with another...

Did you know DEI and Dresden have Patreon accounts?!

Half of their abilities are fine but things like lower PO are just not useful.

June or July

SO happy to see these changes! Thank you DEI Team you made my day!


Mercenaries
The biggest for me is mercenary changes. It finally makes sense to have mercenaries in an army for more than 1...

I don't notice anything too breaking in MP outside of faults with the engine. A thing that does bother me though is that a faction with 1 city can have x4 generals while a town can only have x2....

Thanks for the insightful feedback guys. For myself, I am going to wait on AE since it sounds unpolished, and I am not that early of an adopter, but definitely look forward to trying it out down the...
