Hello to all AUM fans!

Some stats have significantly changed because of the new patch.

AUM 1.7 is still compatible to DarthMod 1.8 but the stats aren't balanced precisely.

I do include some new custom units and some already implemented ones to several factions.

I'm working today on an update to version 1.8.

All for now and stay tuned for the 1.8 relase later today or probably tomorrow...
Cheers

custom battle = late / only available for Sweden in Europe / recruitable at the ordonance_board, engineer_school / required technology "military_ordnance_canister_shot"

> "32lbs Heavy Horse Howitzer - 32-Pfünder Berittene Schwere Haubitzenartillerie" - This heavy 32lbs howitzer is very powerful but due to it's wait it only moves slowly when towed over the battlefield.
custom battle = late / available for all major European factions in Europe / recruitable at the ordonance_board, engineer_school / required technology "military_ordonance_explosive_shells"

> "8-inch European Mortar - 8-zoll Europäische Mörser Batterie" - A 8-inch mortar is a large calibre, fixed artillery piece that lobs an explosive shell in a high arc at the enemy.
custom battle = late / available for all major European factions in Europe / only recruitable at the engineer_school / required technology "military_ordonance_explosive_shells"

> "Rocket Troop (improved) - Raketenschützen (kampfgesteigert)" - This improved "Rocket Troop" has better accurancy and reloading stats than the normal "Rocket Troop" has. But they are more expensive.
custom battle = late / available for all major European factions in Europe / only recruitable at the engineer_school / required technology "military_ordnance_percussion_shells"

- added one new custom ship:
> "Privateer - Freibeuter" - The Privateers are formerly pirates who now fight for several factions which pay them regularly. This ship has more firepower and marines than normal 6th rate frigates have.
custom battle = early/late / available for all major factions globally / buildable at all military naval docks / no required technology

- added the following five already included infantry units to several factions:
> Euro Late Riflemen > available for all European faction groups which don't have "Late Riflemen" like "Prussian Jaegers / Tirailleurs / Green Jackets" (custom battle = late)
> Miquelets > only available for the faction group of Spain in the "peninsula" region (custom battle not available)
> Highlanders Scots > available for all European faction groups who capture a city in the "displaced_scots" region (this group was made by CA) (custom battle = late)
> Riskers of Soul > only available for the Ottomans globally (custom battle not available)
> Desert Warriors > available for all major factions which own a "desert" region (custom battle not available)

> REMO made one new texture for my custom unit "Royal Constantinople Infantry Guards" which is included in the "aum_mod_***.pack".

Here some news from the updates last week:
- alternate download site if TWC is unreachable = http://hosted.filefront.com/SwissHalberdier
- uploaded the "Complete Changelog of AUM.txt"

*** If you already downloaded this new graphics pack, then you don't need to download it again. ***

My mod adds 40 new custom units and 13 new custom ships to ETW. There are other 50 units from "vanilla" which can now be recruited by other factions too.

As always I updated the first post with all new information about the recruitment of the new units and changed the credits.

This is the last version of AUM before the next official patch 1.3 will be released.

Please go to this link below for further discussions and comments, so that we have only one thread for the mod.

"Additional Units Mod 2.2"

[Comandante]

sweet chilly cheese awesome

[grbo]

I think I'd better reply here, than on Darth's main feedback thread.

Hello grbo, first of all thank you for your detailed post about your thoughts on AUM. Constructive feedback is always helpful for us modders.

Well, thanks for the thanks.

Since my first AUM 1.0 release two months ago I constantly decreased all unit limits that the AI doesn't spam them. With the patch 1.3 I have to look closely at the campaign if the AI recruitment has changed a lot.

I wasn't really taking about the AI, merely on the caps themselves.

These limits are still quite high... based on current figures, any major nation can build 8 elite lines, 8 elite grenadiers, 8 elite marines, 6 Swiss guards... that's already 30 "line" units. Russians would get an additional 6 Tzar Guards, and there's the 8 slightly specialised Garrison Guards.
Considering artillery and cavalry to add, this means a player could have three full stacks of "elites"... which is quite a large number.

For the case of Swiss Guards: the French monarchy had a nominal establishment of 1600 men... with actual figures usually lower. With Darthmod figures, the 6 units make 1500 men... but Empire: Total War has always used quite smaller armies than the real figures, so 1-2 units of Swiss Guards would have looked more realistic as a cap.

My thought was the following regarding the "units for everyone". I did this because then you can take as a player each faction and enjoy this units.

I didn't agree with the CA release that the "Cuirassiers" or "Heavy Cavalry" should only be available to a few factions. The unit variety was historically tremendous and quite each faction had units that do have the same unit-role as units from other factions. But thats just my opinion and we could discuss this for hours I think.

The player can enjoy it... but the AI too.

I do agree that at the time, factions had more or less the same types of units... though there were variations in terms of training, policies, doctrines, habits.

CA did provide for differentiation between the Line Infantry units of the major factions... but not at all for some other unit types (for instance grenadiers). So, making all units available to everyone pretty much reduces the specificities of factions. There are pros (we're rewriting history, and we're heads of state... so we can decide to change doctrines) and cons (some special "touch" should be kept in each faction's roster, beyond the uniforms and flags; factions should be more varied than being clones of each other).

Ideally, we should be able to pick "specialization" technologies, so we'd decide to have better reloading, or better charge, etc... but the current structure of technologies doesn't seem to permit it.

In the three latest releases I added more faction-specific units which make the related faction more specific. I will focus on this in my upcoming releases.

It's an interesting direction IMHO: makes each faction more specific.

On the other side, differentiating the standard units would also be helpful - i.e. have euro_grenadiers_britain, euro_grenadiers_france, euro_grenadiers_spain etc... with stats variations, rather than only the two euro_grenadiers and euro_grenadiers_bearskin (with the exact same stats).

Sure the 18th century wasn't the most important area for mercenaries but they were a part of quite each army. Great that you like that part of AUM.

These armies were mostly "professional" in nature, hence quite "mercenary" in nature. Foreign troops, local troops... were aplenty. And there's obviously no reason why factions shouldn't be equal regarding them, in general. Though some specificities do exist (Irish Brigade which gained much fame in French service - note that some Jacobite Irishmen also served in Spain or Austria).

Note that "expat" infantry cap is set at 4 in the vanilla game... which I think is somewhat low.

Sure a mod never pleasures all users. You can't make it right for everyone...

I did always say on my thread that the AUM users have the possibility to change AUM to their wishes. (there are plenty of how-to's in my FAQ section like mentioned above)

I always hear from my AUM users that the great thing about AUM is, that they can choose from various versions and all will give them an unique battle-feeling depended on their used "major mod" or "vanilla".

Agreed... though it's still some work to do.

A true AOR system like TROM's is only possible if Darth would change the "startpos.esf".

... and would require to duplicate/specialize a lot of database lines, to make region-specific versions. Which looks like a big pain to me...

Yes that was a good idea!

Well, thanks for the thanks.

Ah Ok I understand now what you mean.

I've looked through my PM's that I got from a lot of AUM users about the unit limit:
> 60% are quite happy with the actual limit
> 20% would like to have no limit or a higher limit
> 20% would like to have a slightly lower limit

I will decrease several unit limits slightly in all four AUM 2.4 versions because of the possibility for the AI to spam elite units if they have enough money.

For all users that don't agree with the AUM limits, they can read my FAQ on the first post to change all limits easily.

I do agree that at the time, factions had more or less the same types of units... though there were variations in terms of training, policies, doctrines, habits.
I agree here.

CA did provide for differentiation between the Line Infantry units of the major factions... but not at all for some other unit types (for instance grenadiers). So, making all units available to everyone pretty much reduces the specificities of factions. There are pros (we're rewriting history, and we're heads of state... so we can decide to change doctrines) and cons (some special "touch" should be kept in each faction's roster, beyond the uniforms and flags; factions should be more varied than being clones of each other).

Yes CA did integrate "replacement units" for various factions in the "Free 14 patch 1.3 units"... but they did not create a new "type" of unit.

Ideally, we should be able to pick "specialization" technologies, so we'd decide to have better reloading, or better charge, etc... but the current structure of technologies doesn't seem to permit it.

Look into the "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" mod, there are 2 new "special" techs included.

It's an interesting direction IMHO: makes each faction more specific.

On the other side, differentiating the standard units would also be helpful - i.e. have euro_grenadiers_britain, euro_grenadiers_france, euro_grenadiers_spain etc... with stats variations, rather than only the two euro_grenadiers and euro_grenadiers_bearskin (with the exact same stats).
Yes I agree here. I guess CA will probably release that again as "FREE UNITS"

These armies were mostly "professional" in nature, hence quite "mercenary" in nature. Foreign troops, local troops... were aplenty. And there's obviously no reason why factions shouldn't be equal regarding them, in general.

Yes I think that the vanilla limit for various units is quite low too.

Agreed... though it's still some work to do.
Sure, a mod is a "never-ending-update-to-improve-the-gaming-experience".

... and would require to duplicate/specialize a lot of database lines, to make region-specific versions. Which looks like a big pain to me...

Yes at the moment it isn't possible to merge two "startpos.esf" files easily.

> Darthmod + vanilla are using the "vanilla" startpos.esf
> APE:TI and IS are using their "own" startpos.esf


AUM 2.3 is playable with the new "Darthmod Campaign AI".

Information about the included textures

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

> "patch_aum_graphics.pack" includes the following:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

- 30 new textures for "Line Infantry / Militia / Provincial Cavalry" which are shown in my album-link below

- "Realistic Flag Set 1.2" by SPANKY

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

- "SEALORDS Ship Textures Mod 1.0" by BLADERUNNER

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This is the explanation from BLADERUNNER's thread:

yellow/black for Britain and most nations, as the British is always the generic model
white/black for France
red/black for Spain
white/green for Russia

The 2nd, 4th Rate, Razee and the 24 pounder only have 1 model and use the yellow/black textures.

For the not rated ships i mixed the first three textures.

Here are some pictures from the re-textured ship hulls:

It is fully optional and AUM works without as well. It replaces the textures of the "vanilla standard ETW" files.

> SPANKY made eleven new "Militia" textures for the following major factions: Austria, Britain, Denmark, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Sweden, United Provinces, United States and a new generic texture for the remaining factions based on faction colors. The "Unit UI cards" have been changed too.

> SPANKY made eleven new "Provincial Cavalry" textures for the following major factions: Austria, Britain, Denmark, France, Poland, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Sweden, United Provinces, United States and a new generic texture for the remaining factions based on faction colors. The "Unit UI cards" have been changed too.

> SPANKY made his fantastic "Realistic Flag Set 1.2"

All textures from SPANKY are included from his "Proper Militia Mod 1.3" and "Realistic Flag Set 1.2".


> BLADERUNNER made his awesome "SEALORDS Ship Textures Mod 1.0"


These screenshots are shown in my album-link below:

- all "Line Infantry" textures by REMO and HRIMFAR

- some "Militia" and "Provincial Cavalry" textures by SPANKY

- some "Ship" textures by BLADERUNNER

ALBUM - AUM Graphics Pack - patch_aum_graphics.pack

Thank you very much that you all allow me to include your fantastic textures!

Huge +rep to these fine men!

I'm working on my upcoming AUM 2.4 release and if all goes well it will be released next Monday/Tuesday.

Cheers and enjoy these fantastic textures!

"Additional Units Mod 2.3"

[Swiss Halberdier]

MOVED the FAQ to the second post

• How to customize AUM

• CHANGES to the new included 14 "patch 1.3 extra units"

• NO CHANGES to the 14 payable DLC "Elite Units of the West"

• Complete changelog of AUM

• Miscellaneous

I've updated my first post with a new "region" entry for each custom unit. The units can be recruited in this region.

Example:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

English unit name (German unit name) *** men/horses "vanilla size" / *** men/horses "Darthmod size" (region) texture by *

Line Infantry Guards (Linieninfanterie Garde) 160 men / 300 men (global)

AUM 2.3 is compatible with the new released "Darthmod 2.3", but the stats will be more balanced in AUM 2.4.

If all goes well then I will release AUM 2.4 on Wednesday.
