So i went through the associated files and moved all of the red army skills from their associated lord to "none". I modified the dependencies of the leadership skills such that they trigger on...

So... red skills are good. Well red skills are too good and they have some detrimental effects on the game.

The main reason for this is because the AI cannot easily achieve a synergistic army....

Short Answer:

1) Melee Defense or Special Skills
2) Melee Defense or Melee Attack
3) Melee Attack or Special skills
4) HP/Armor
5) Weapon Damage
6) Charge bonus

Basic reasoning: Lords...

The only reason that VC have one of the harder campaigns is because in order to secure the Long Victory you must destroy the Empire, Bretonia, and the Dwarves

The problem is not actually beating...

Besides the obvious advice of "Fortify your settlements by building walls that increase both the garrison size as well as give you walls". I will add that building walls will slow the enemy down...

I think then, i am just going to mess with the values and hope the AI stuff isn't important. Thanks for looking at my issue

I am pretty sure that you can make a faction a horde by messing with their start position (and them similarly you're going to have to give them a horde building structure but not sure about that)....

Hey Celtik since you seem to be a bit of an expert on AI behavior could you tell me if there are any differences in AI behavior on the difficulties beyond what it caused by the various bonuses?

I...

OK, so i am working on a workaround to the fact that the Battle Difficulty Slider doesn't work.

The idea is pretty simple; since i cannot modify the battle difficulties...

You are likely looking for enemy_effect_range, and enemy_numbers_morale_penalty_multiplier*. You may also be looking for cavalry_effect_range *Note that unlike every other value on the list this is...

Trade partners tends to decrease but trade income will tend to increase.

In general, trade income scales with the population income of a faction. Which scales with, iirc, the total town size and...

You can see the enemy morale buff by hovering over their leadership bar. And notice that it doesn't change when you use the bar.

You can also play the first mission on different difficulties and...

This is what I said on another site in response to the same question:

There are four ways to deal with raiding armies. Patience, ambushes, blood, and walls.


The primary thing is to think of...

Huh. I never had that issue.

True. I suppose you could move all the campaign AI and bonuses to the difficulty you want to play (so if you want to play VH campaign with normal battle) then select that.

but I was too lazy to...

CA would do it because it's a bug. There is no way to fix it afaik since only the morale modifier is open to editing in the database

Can't edit so will add: worth nothing that "battle difficulty" slider does nothing at the moment except remove the -5 leadership penalty that the player gets on very hard. It doesn't effect the enemy...

So slayers nearly kill a top tier high armor shock cav on the charge? Sounds pretty good to me.

Hmmm. Very little infantry but massed large units?! Sounds like a job for slayers.

Gyro or cannon (with engy) should take care of the doomcannons. Chaos has no flying and little ranged so just...

Archers and Quarrelers will fire over your battle line. It's still better to move them to the side because you will avoid shields and because the low trajectory is a bit better in getting hits. But...

Yea. Harder for dwarves because they can't protect it as well with cavalry. But you can still put a unit of slayers and warriors out there to prevent cav from messing with you. In SP the enemy will...

They are also getting even better in the new patch, with higher penetration values (such they will have higher liklihood of hitting multiple targets).

Penetarion and bounce is one of the reasons...

It can but it's tricky. If you can get your arty set up away from your main force and so have it "raking" the enemy then it's very strong. Additionally at high XP levels arty gets extremely accurate...

What is n? I can see the 1.3 and .3 in the DB but no structure for what n would be

Keep them with your main army. Make an offensive action every turn they can and embedded when not. Embedded provides the same XP as deployed. Offensive actions provide a significant amount of XP on a...

The only units I particularly use on the battlefield are vampires and wight kings. Everything else gets whatever the campaign needs.

Wight kings on barded warhorses are the single best melee hero...

Did you make sure to give the mounted versions the weapons as well? Her's and mounted heros end up as two different units in land_units

Bonus HP likely doesn't look right because 1) Its based on ultra unit size 2) Does not include base unit HP On ultra Thorgrim has 5500 HP. 5492 Bonus plus 8 normal. On medium he has 2750. 2746...

You didn't get hosed by your allies you hosed yourself. You entered into alliances that you could not honor without breaking other deals.

Sometimes being the emperor is about taking sides and...

Except against large as solo they're not going to have that issue if you make sure to route enemy ranged first. Well I mean no more than other units at least. Against VC they're very strong for...

They do well against charging knights because of deathblow. Most units when they get charged and killed by a shock cavalry never get an attack off. They get knocked away. Slayers automatically get an...

Can't figure out how to edit: But you can also find portions of spells and spell damage for projectile spells and projectile bombardment spells in projectiles_explosions. This houses the explosion...

So i am trying to brute force fix the bug where changing the battle difficulty slider does nothing(solution, change all the difficulty mods to the mod i want).

TExc_ImplementedTables says that...

There are a number of different tables with spell damages

For bombardment spells like searing doom: You want to look at both projectile_bombardments and projectiles. The first has the number of...
