[STIM] Silven Total Improvement Mod [Version 4.0] - DOWNLOAD HERE - Updated September 28th 2014

Well I can understand Silven's perspective. If you were the garrison commander of a town or city, and heard King/Basileus/Consul So-and-So could use some help just a few miles out, you might want to rub shoulders and sally out to assist.
I realize the counter-point would be but its just a garrison, their job, and their commander's job, is to protect the city. This is where its important to remember its a game

Yeah, true, it just seems annoying because when it comes to field battles, in my experience, they mostly occur near cities, so in my game the vast majority of field battles had one side or the other reinforced by a garrison (plus any potential reinforcements already there!)


But you're very right, it's just a game, and since it makes expansion more difficult, stopping the arcadey-ness of the game, I really shouldn't complain!

Congrats on the hosted mod

[Silven]

Thanks Magnar. I believe a congrats is in order for yourself as well!

Hey, congrats on having your mod hosted (long over due in my opinion). Anyways, if are planning on giving Carthage more provinces, I played around quite a bit with Dresden's Qart-Hasdast mods. The one that seemed to work best for me was Carthage plus Nova Carthago. When Carthage had Libya's territories, I found Egypt and Carthage would go to war rather quickly. Having Libya still there served as a nice buffer. I do want to point out that even with the extra provinces of Nova Carthago, Carthage still was nearly wiped out by 50 turns because so many factions declare war on them. I remedied this somewhat by giving Carthage a bonus of 3,000 income per turn and gave them a starting income of 10,000 denarius. Playing as Rome, I actually had a pretty good fight with Carthage in one campaign. I also gave Egypt and Seleucid a bonus of 2,000 per turn which seemed to help.

Carthage, Rome, and Epirus have been wiped out in my campaign. Sad to say, but the Etruscans are still there.

Hello Silven, I am wondering do you have any plans for increasing the armies limit like Radious? It is rly difficult to increase imperium and being stuck at 6 armies takes away all the work I put to increase my economical power.

Please Silven, DO NOT increase army limit. Not only can the AI not handle it but it is one of the few aspects I feel makes the game more interesting.

I second this. The raised limits was one of the reasons I gave up on Radious. Currently STIM is the only mod that ticks all the boxes for me.

[DiamondWraith]

Agreed re army limits. Leave them be.

[Silven]

Army Limits were decided in Version 1.1 and have not, and will not be changed.
