-More Civilians

Increases the amount of civilians in the battlemap, to create a more atmospheric and busier time, and slashing down innocent civilians with blood thirsty Saxons is also a bonus.

(Most likely due to the sales on at the market)

Original numbers were:
Large town: 75
Medium: 33
Small: 15

Siege battle

No already researched technology

If you've played a few faction especially the WRE and ERE you will have noticed around 4-6 already researched technologies, well this mod removes all researched technologies allowing for a classic style tech tree instead of the legacy style.

-More mods to come, ranging from UI changes to other areas of DB files.

Fantastic work, my friend. Nice touch with the civilians. I will be playing around with their numbers in my Overhaul as well. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as it seems you'll be adding those little touches that will add to the immersion of Attila. Keep it up

[Blackmill]

great job. I would like to request x5 more instead of the 10 just feel like most people would run sense there is a battle being fought

I can change it so that they always fight? unless you want the reduced size.

[TylerTR95]

hmm, maybe change so more fight, i'm worried this will effect performance to much maybe lower it to x5 like the person above said? maybe even lower to like x2 or x3

Sure I'll go and make some different versions of it.

I can't see pictures. They are broken.

Updated OP:

-Changed image hosting sites

[GMoon777]

great job dude, have you tested the performance impact of the extra civilians ?

[The Roman Republic]

Updated OP:
- Added different versions for the civilians, there are now:
-200
-180
-160
-140
-120
-100.

great job dude, have you tested the performance impact of the extra civilians ?

The original highest amount was 75 civilians which are in large towns. Personally I've not seen a major performance impact.

[TylerTR95]

Hey Dictator, will this work with current campaigns?

[The Roman Republic]

Hey Dictator, will this work with current campaigns?

Yes, both mods are save-game compatible.

If there's more citizens - won't this increase lag?

As I said before, the original highest amount was only 75. If you could handle that with ease you could easily handle more.

Best thing to do is try around 120 mark, or even 140. Then see if you can afford to go up or if needed go down to 100.

[Jin-]

My bad, I had the wrong link for the camera mod, its in none of the civilian mods.


OP Update:
Fixed camera mod link, has the correct link for the mod now.

[mrigankasinha85]

cant see any difference in the camera mod link pack mate...... no zoom in or out

[The Roman Republic]

Try now, something went wrong with the pack. It had the original values

As you can probably tell I'm new to releasing mods so errors will appear

Fixed the pack now with the proper values. Sorry about this!!

[Xelathur]

For everyone crying about performance loss. 240 civilians is about the same as 240 unit running about, so it doesn't affect performance much. Good mod, great job ++++
