Useful bai related mods fully compatible with Close Combat:

Stronger Walls by .Mitch.

City walls now have x2 the hitpoints (so do the towers on them), so they don't fall after very few hits.
It now takes an Onager about 75% of its ammunition to take down a wall section.

Special Abilities Be Gone! by Pnutmaster

• Removes almost all special abilities from the game (with the exception of Frenzy - which has a fatigue penalty by default, and Generals' abilities, e.g., Rally)
• No more flaming javelins, and no more flaming arrows for mounted units (seriously CA, WTF) *
• All Roman infantry now have Shield Wall, Offensive Testudo, and Defensive Testudo (previously only Triarii used it)
• Increases the recharge time of remaining special abilities (e.g., Rally now takes 300 seconds to recharge)

* for my taste - "No more flaming javelins, and no more flaming arrows for mounted units" - is enough and i am use only this part.

This looks brilliant, I'll be using it in my campaign playthrough soon!

Luntik do you know if you'll be able to fix the units not marching in formation? I really want to use your mod but this kills it for me. I love to watch my units march into battle in a nice formation, lol.

Just wondering.

[Luntik]

... I love to watch my units march into battle in a nice formation ...

I am, too.
Send me a save game (before the battle) or replay and (optional) screenshot of data directory.
It is necessary to determine the problem.

[TheFunnyOne1125]

I am, too.

Formations look great in this mod. I'm hoping for even longer battles in the new update.

My hoplites finally fight like hoplites in battle.

I like this mod, good work man, go on.

I like this mod, good work man, keep going on.

Feature Close Combat v 2.0 : gates will burn, but not be destroyed.

[Aerox_The_Great]

Save game compatible?

[Denco]

Will it be compatible with 1.5 and future 2 patch?

[Anon052]

Feature Close Combat v 2.0 : gates will burn, but not be destroyed.

I am not shure if the AI could handle this. I played a Siege battle and killed the troops that tried to burn down the gates. After that the AI was just waiting before the walls. I had to break out of the town to kill to enemy or I would have had to wait for the timer to end.

So I think it that the AI would be completly broken by this. Did you test it?

[Yerevan]

Luntik, I like this mod. Do you think you can make ranged units less deadly ? (in other battle mods the melee units are less lethal but ranged units are untouched and there were already too strong !). thanx anyway

[Luntik]

@Denco, compatible.
@Anon052,
I can not include this feature in the latest version
or
turn on and after release collect statistics AI behavior.
@Yerevan, ranged units less deadly compared with vanilla or cc1.0 ?

[Dresden]

Luntik, I think the indestructible gates might be a bad idea. I understand why you would do it, because sieges should require some siege engines.

However, the AI won't understand the change. So, they will continue to siege and attack a city without any ladders or rams. Then, they will be unable to break the gate and will simply sit outside the walls.

The only way to really make this gates change is to also change the campaign AI so that they always build siege equipment before attacking.

[Yerevan]

Yerevan, ranged units less deadly compared with vanilla or cc1.0 ?

From vanilla. I use the cc1.0 from toontotalwar's "all in one mod" and the the ranged melle are perfect in it. But I don't know of it's only because of CC1.0 or because of something else that Toon has put inside the mod...

[anomalyed]

Luntik, I love this mod. Has made the game so enjoyable.
combined with half Meele mod. The morale is still a problem as troops rout so quickly.
Maybe you could do something about morale?

[Dresden]

If you want units to last a lot longer, try out Radious' Battle Mod. I think the morale is a bit overdone but you might like it.

[anomalyed]

His mod is a bit messed up imo. I did a Praetorian guard vs Heroic nobles battle to check it out and the Heroic nobles beat both my Praetorian guard and the general unit even when I tried Hammer and anvil strikes using the general.

[forthegz]

This mod is great, you should really keep it simple IMO. Just have it spread the units out so they don't clump so easily and stay in formation, and make battles last longer. Let other mods do other kinds of changes, because personally I don't want any mods besides what this mod does. So if you keep changing it.. =/

[Scarrus]

Again another great mod. Looking forward to the updated version
