[PREVIEW] Divide et Impera 1.1 Overview and Previews Collection (New Preview October 21)

[DarrenTotalWar]

I hope the auto resolve improvement will improve how attacking a settlement always means the AI will sally out because they have stronger odds. I attack towns with 2 full stacks, but my odds are always 20% and the enemy always sallys out :/

Great work though, very ambitious developments, the supply system looks excellent though!

[Walrusjones]

You guys are far better at making patchnotes then I am, I will need to note.

*heavy breathing*

[suras333]

Great news!

[Spirit``]

Will there be a submod to remove supply system ? Other than that it seems very exciting !

[KAM 2150]

Only if you want to hurt Litharions feelings ;P

[Fedual]

Holy **** I didnt think you were still THIS active in working with the mod, i mean, this is amazing!

forbidden question i know but... eta: days? weeks? months? quarter-year? half-year?

[Don_Diego]

If I told you, i'd have to kill you...

Still early Alpha, lots more things to add and test!

Create one. If people want it someone will most def make on. But I dont think it is something that the team will spend time on. Many buildings have been changed due to this system and will therefore also need to be changed to fit a game without the supply system

[BalrogOfMorgoth]

Oh boy! I can't wait!

this is absolutley blasphemic! In another timeframe the pyre would waiting for you

[FlashHeart07]

Fear not guys. An ancient prophesy foretold that he who disapproves of the supply system shall forever be doomed to have a laggy game which crashes every 10th turn.

Animations and Battles Overhaul

- Load time/performance improvement

[dogukan]

don't know what to say...you lads are awesome.

[Lieutenant Sharpe]

I'd always hope I'd see a supply system in a total war game, but never thought I'd actually see it. This is amazing. Also, a few questions on navies, will navies be unique so that say Romans have an advantage boarding and Carthaginians and Greeks have an advantage ramming? And how affordable will navies be? I know that in most of my prior campaigns I rarely recruited a navy because the battles were unplayable and navies were quite simply unaffordable and not worth the cost.

[Dingkuhn]

Just when I was beginning to think that this mod coudln't become more awesome than it was already... Obviously I was wrong, you guys are fantastic!

Hahahaha I told you this would be asked almost immediately You spend 6 months on a project and the first thing someone wants to know, before even trying it, is if they can remove it! And then goes on to say that the most unique and interesting system to come to Rome 2 from a mod was the downside of this preview. Gave me a good laugh

Navies are unique for cultures in that certain ones have the ability to build larger, more advanced vessels. We have tried to make it so that the AI will try to board mostly and ram a bit, but its hard to change that (we can't access the core AI behavior choices in that regard). Other than the changes to ship movement and ignition threshhold, one of our main changes was making ranged units only a few of the starter ships. Upper tier ships (for the most part) are melee based. Our goal was to make naval battles more about shipboard combat than about raining fire arrows from across the map.

Navies will still be around the same costs/upkeep as before but costs have been standardized. Also, they are now worth it in that you can pick off a transport invasion with a much smaller naval fleet.
