Nazguls impossible to maintain....

[Azathoth1]

Hi!

I have found a problem with the Inmortal Nazgul script playing with Mordor. Maybe someone could help me because many of you have used the script...

I've started like 5 times and I am uncapable to not fall in ruin. I have disbanded all my troops. I only have left the free garrisoned and I have left all the nazguls in their cities. I don't make any move, only build buildings to make profit and increase the taxes to very high.

Well, in the first turn I have about 4000 army upkeep expenditure but it increases every turn until it reaches 8000-9000 without making any move!!! Is it possible to mantain the nazguls without cheating?

I don't understand. May it be a bug? Is there some explanation? It is really ruining my game. There is no way to go on with the campaign. I always finish in red numbers and going down. I am completely lost....Help me please!

best for additional cash: start conquering new lands or sack them.
about that upkeepstuff i have no idea.
double costs, with no new units are lot...

I have tried it but if a try to conquer new lands the economy crash in very few turns because of the army upkeeping. I think it could be a bug only in my computer for any strange reason because it is very strange that I haven't found any thread about it.

you can check the export_descr_units in your data folder

I have checked the files with the original ones and they are the same. The upkeep of the black numenorians is 420 but as the turns go on this value increase to about 500 and 780 in the witch king.

Now I found one of the reason why this is happening. The number of black numenorians bodyguards of the nazguls increaseas every turn!! In the export_descr_units file puts that it must be 15 but then they increases every turn. What's happening? Anyway, that doesn't explain the absurd value of the upkeep army expenditure, 9000 without any army except the nazguls.

I think I am gonna leave Mordor.....

Counter balance this by adding +9000$ to Mordor's king purse?
That's what I did anyway.....

I think the main reasons for the poor Mordor are the low population, too much castles and too few resources. I have converted Nargroth to large town and added several resources (slaves, gold, timber), but the income was still too low. Perhaps we should halve the upkeep costs or at least reduce the Nazgul upkeep to zero

I agree with you about the economy in Mordor. But the issue about Mordor is clearly a big bug. The bodyguards seem to multiply randomly and the army upkeep expenditure doesn't correspond with the army that you have. I have done some tests and it occurs only with Mordor. It also happens without using the submod in the vanilla version but it doesn't affect too much with 3 nazguls.
But it is still a problem and it's not cool anymore to play with Mordor like this. I hope the team will fix it in the next patch. I don't want to cheat to play with Mordor, because this way you can't control the difficulty.
