Hello everyone,
while playing diffrent campaigns on my favorite Rome TW mod, I decided to fix everything that bothers me and this is the result so far.
Whats new?
Now multiple factions got an overhaul (and are for the most part finished):
Rome
Galatia
Gauls
Germans
Thrace
Illyria
Iberia
Numidia
Carthage
Macedon
Greek Cities
-
Rebalanced the faction building system.
Like before everyone starts with Occupation building, then
-> local-buildchain (Autonomia) (2-3 upgrades, gives public happiness and quick acces to local units) [optional]
-> labour-colony (Initial Colonization) (production, but reduces public happiness and no access to units) [semi-optional]
-> central-buildchain (Established Colony/Settlement/City/...)(multiple upgrades, requires same culture as your faction ,gives law bonus and access faction units)
(some factions have some diffrent paths like Rome, Greek cities,...)
- Added new buildings. (Goldsmith, Local Economies, Reworked Mines)
- Expended the recuitement system.
These factions mentioned above now have access to local units and thus a much wider unit roaster at the beginning of the game.
- The most noticeable change is that I have massively increased the unit costs, while the upkeep costs remained relatively low.
IMO this creates a much better game experience where you can have multiple armies in multiple fronts at the same time, but going to war with other faction drains your treasurey.
- Balanced of diffrent unit types through changing unit size (and damage). (Peltasts buffed, Cav nerfed, ...)
- Diplomats have now +10 Culture Conversion Trait if they are in a city. (this is not supposed to stack, but I have not found a way to implement that)
- Balanced some traits and ancillaries. (Like nerfed - Squalor effects)
Future plans are to:
- overhaul every faction (takes time)
- add more local economy buildings (have to create or find good images)
- add governor and law buildings (requires alot of scripting)
- include more local units to mercenaries (have to finish overhaul of every faction frist)
I tried to upload only the files i changed but the game kept crashing on startup, so I'll just upload the whole mod.
