Yeah, I hear ya Kam. It's frustrating but I suppose there's no real fix to it. I'll just avoid them and hope they build up their strength.
This is really the only problem with DeI. I'm a veteran, but Carthage especially DESPERATELY needs a Rome-style script, or better several of them, that spawns full stacks periodically when they're...
Hi gang, loving the new version -- and I know this is an old issue. But i'm playing Massalia and it's really striking. Rome at least seems to expand a bit and recruit lots of armies, but in my...
Hi all, loving the Macedon update. I just haven't gotten any other nobles to adopt, just existing parties -- and I would add that for whatever reason Antigonos is the only Antigonid atm. Hireable...
It would be cool to swap them out with a more interesting current minor faction as a main-line nation. Maybe Bithynia?
Sadly the current mod does not actually work -- the AI is still able to use it. Is there a more updated one?
Thanks so much!
Works like a charm! Thanks man. Already making my game better.
awesome. thanks Jake! Trying now
I'm mostly looking to fight field battles, and fortification battles are horribly balanced. Can anyone aid me?
Thanks a ton!
Hi all,
Just reinstalled DeI on a new computer and enjoying the Alexander campaign greatly. But I am unable to launch night attacks, and this makes it difficult to break up concentrations of...
Well, a small one for me personally -- it would be a delight to have an all factions playable submod for that one. I wouldn't mind messing around as Rome in a divided Italy or Syracuse in Sicily.
Hi yall,
Just wanted to see what your focus was at present -- I remember hearing about some roster expansions for ROTR a while back, and I just tried it for the first time in DeI. The tiny...
I would highly recommend the use of the alternative phalanx submod to any and all readers. It transforms the hoplites back into what they should be, formidable spearmen with an offensive edge...
Hey Kam, any chance this mod would work with the alternative hoplite submod? I want to try the changes, but the hoplite submod is so essential for DeI that I cannot give it up. Would both work?
Probably correct, but at the very least it would make attacking their core regions have one good field battle in it. As of right now, I conquered the entire Seleucid empire as Athens without...
Inspired by the necroing of that thread about how weak the Seleucid Empire was, because in my game I experience the exact same issue with both Seleucids and Ptolemies. Always. One of the great...
Specifically Thureophoroi and Thureophoroi Swordsmen -- I feel that with the same speed as heavily armored legionaries and pikemen DeI is missing the fundamental point of these military units.
I...
Okay i'll try that in my newest campaign as the Seleucids, thanks Dresden. I'd use the DB editor on DeI part 1 to do that, correct?
If an AI Army does something foolish and/or has an utterly depleted force, I use the Save Parser to replenish their forces so I can have a full set piece battle.
If an AI army does something...
I've been having a blast playing as Epirus, but Rome continually screws itself over by repeatedly sending its legions to die by attrition in the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas. It seems like they're...
Does this work with the alternative hoplite phalanx mod where it's just a flat bonus? I cannot play without that mod now, given how wonky the vanilla hoplite phalanx is. It looks really cool!
...
Please do NOT nerf cavalry. That is not the right approach. Cavalry taking more casualties when disengaging is why the TW Attila engine is so godawful and lame and arcadey. I think that would be a...
Totally agree. Here's what you need to do -- get the SaveParser and use the set movement to increase the speed of your armies. If an enemy army has been diseased, replenish them.
You gotta have...
Play the Iceni or Nervii and your tactics will have to change. Your units are strong but morale is fragile, and they don't often hold well for extended periods in combat. Your chariots are...
Ha! I got it. I moved up the global reforms also. Not sure why player reforms didn't work, but it's all good. Thanks for all the help!
That would actually be great -- I tried to edit it again after overwriting part 1, and for whatever reason it still is not working.
I was thinking 40 for Thureos and 85 for Thorakitai -- it seems...
Oh my bad. Good to know.
Yeah. I am Carthage. I control all of Africa, all of Sicily, half of Spain. And also Crete and Rhodes.
Hey Dresden, is this save compatible?
It looks exceedingly normal to me — spaces are in the right place. I think i’m just gonna install the new fix pack today and overwrite my edited part 1 pack file. I may then try to edit again to...
No yeah it was the player reforms -- I have edited again. I have the tech researched and everything. Not sure what's going wrong.
EDIT: I changed it to 35 and now i'm a couple turns past...
So I changed the Thureos reforms to 30 turns and Thorakitai to 85, as I usually abandon campaigns after I attain dominance and rarely see the final reforms -- only problem is now the former has not...
So I just got the Desert Kingdoms DLC, the last one I didn't have -- and it is worth it. The Kushite roster is so delightfully ancient Egyptian it makes me feel like my armies stepped out of a time...
Excellent idea! Thanks as always for your hard work.
Probably you'd have to start with the pack editor -- lately i've been messing around with adding different weapons to units and it's quite easy. But I have not yet looked at recruitment. Give it a...
I only ever play Ptolemaic Egypt, because the thought of restoring the old Diadochi in a Roman age appeals to me. I will answer you honestly -- because the AI is despicably incompetent at managing...
Oh really? I just assumed they would, every other thureos sword unit does.
Anyhow no worries if not -- I took kam's advice and added it. No trouble, very easy.
Thanks again.
Okay i'll try that, thanks Kam.
Hey Dresden,
Minor request but I thought i'd ask -- I just finished a great book on Kleomenes III and I wanted to play a Spartan run through in your Macedonian Wars campaign. Has the missing...
