Removing the massive garrisons mod?

[Chema_Cagi]

First of all thanks for the effort put in, this is an excellent and interesting mod.


I would like to know if there's some way to remove the massive garrisons mod (don't know what's the name of it). I find absolutely no excitement in fighting endless hordes of generic garrison units in every settlement, which in the end are equally conquered but at the expense of longer, unexciting assaults.

In fact in the past I have declined to play some otherwise excellent mods because of this (to me) annoying feature.

Thank you again for this excellent mod.

You just need to remove it from the campaign script (campaign_script.txt) for the campaign(s) you want to play. Open the campaign script in notepad and delete or comment out the garrison script lines. As always, back up the original file first.

Sorry, can't be more specific ATM. Not at my home computer.

The trick is that you build siege units like a trebuchet or cannon and assault the city before they have time to levy what must be the entire able bodied male population. In previous versions of SV merely besieging a city meant at least a few levied units, but now it doesn't start until at least one turn.

I wasn't able to make it AI only and spawn in the same turn. Will have to revisit this, perhaps as a smaller levy only spawn.

Removing the garrison script will really ruin the campaign, as it is an integral part of the campaign balancing.

At lower settlement levels you will run into mainly levy and some mercs, but at higher settlement levels, and in more historic places, you will run into more powerful units.

I think it's more historically accurate for them to not spawn in the same turn you besiege the city. Assaulting the same turn you besiege is a quick attack and the whole point of a quick attack is that you catch them off guard.

True, I just hate to see settlements defended by one unit.

It then leaves it to the player to use the exploit or not.

not just player - AI is using it a lot... that way small factions are able to kill off major factions...

Can you tell me specifically which folder it is in to disable the spawn? It makes it more historical, but it also makes playing some factions wait and see types of affairs. You lose lot's of ground, and it takes some fun out of it.

I'll add this remove-info to the FAQ, although it is an integral part of the mod

Edit: Done.
