Archi's Rome II Mods - Discontinued

[Archimonday]

Letter of Resignation


Hi folks. I've decided to ask the moderators to delete this thread as I will be discontinuing my work on this mod. Life is simply too busy, and I'm between a rock and a hard place. I've removed the non-working files from here and the Steam Workshop to stop any confusion. I apologize to anyone who was enjoying my work, I simply have no time to work on it anymore.

Cheers

Going to code and test a new idea, I'll explain it here:

Supply and Demand system for Campaign Economy.

In most economies as old as time itself the demand for certain goods has fueled the industry for supply.

By taking Squalor (an attribute that typically lowers public order) and flipping it on its head, we create Supply and Demand. Whereby public order will decrease over-time as demand increases, then to supplement that demand you will have to construct buildings (which typically add squalor) to increase the Supply.

In a more advanced sense perhaps modifications in population when supply is not enough, creating negative growth, and other penalties. The idea will expand as I work on it.

This sound awesome.

Please tell me does your cai mod address the cai spamming of archers and suicide attacking with less than half stalk armies?

I started a new Roman campaign using your cai pack so far i have been very impressed with it. The Etruscan's put up a hell of a fight which i have never seen before, they actually invaded me on multiple occasions with large balanced armies. Will post more when i get a chance to play more, but from what i have seen so far would recommend this to anyone.

Guess this is the answer I needed.

Original post updated with new links. Attachments just weren't working so I had to upload to gamefront. There is the risk of the links failing, please notify me if that is the case. Enjoy!


Known Bugs:

*Fire arrows falling out of sky

Changes:

-Trade Resource Priorities Modified (More valuable trade items are of highest priority, influencing diplomacy and war)
-Diplomacy Priorities Modified (Demands of tribute, calls for peace when being defeated, accepting trade offers, offering client state status, and a few more)
-A few kv_rules values edited for battles (Cavalry bonus vs infantry removed, missile bonuses edited.)
-Autoresolver rebalanced (to better mimic the battle tweaks, and to fix it, was broken)
-Budget Allocations Edited to mimic other AI priorities (Lots of $$$ for armies and navies now)
-AI Strategic Priorities adjusted (Attempt to make them more aggressive, attacking forces, cities, and in-cases of being defeated: rogue armies don't just sit and starve to death)

WIP

-Techology Research Times and Building Requirements
-Building Construction Times and Costs
-Army and Navy Upkeep
-Adding light spear units (Like Rorarii) to low level building recruitment pools, for countries like Rome and Greece
-Unit Adjustments (Some countries require certain units to move up or down a tier to compensate for their recruitment times)

Please don't use gamefront it hates me, mediafire, 4 shared anything but gamefront please.

[Archimonday]

Got the attachments working too.

[Master Necromancer]

[Whiskeyjack]

Is the latest update save game compatible?

[Archimonday]

In order to get 12 turns a year, you'd have to start again, but everything else should kick in after a number of turns.

[Master Necromancer]

Any chances to make a 1 turn per year?

[Archimonday]

Now that all this Patch 4 shenanigans is over, and Patch 5 is out. The mod works for me again, which means I can continue working on it. Some peoples Patch 5 Rome 2 crashes, I know that, but I think that is on CA's side this time.
