Rome Vanilla length battles and rebalanced edu for longer faction survibability for 0 turn
Hey fellow Roma Surrecties
Well i have loved this mod from the moment i first tried it but I always felt the battles were too long and a bit imbalanced for my taste. Also i was a little turned of when seing certain factions takeover the whole map like sarmatia or the cimbri , so after the release of the 2.1 patch and still not short enough battles and pretty much the same problem i decided to make my own mod to solve this and after a few weeks, im just about finished. I worked on each individual unit on the edu and edited the stats the way i saw fit for balance in battle and in campaign the battles should be a bit longer than vanilla but much more balanced heres the list of changes:
:reduced defense significantly and boosted attack in almost all units
:reduce moral about by halve
:increased lethality on swords and spears
:reduced it on javelins pilla, pikes, slings, and arrows
:lowered javelin ammo on mounted units to encourage the ai to attack with them sonner (though i left lethality the same)
:made elephants more powerful also chariots (dont worry theyre not invincible)
:made generals bodyguards for all factions have light mounts (to make it harder to kill them as they flee)
also lowered they're moral so they wont always fight to the death
:increased mass on mounted units so theyll push though infantry(cav has more power in charging now but are vulnarable in hand to hand)
:ajusted charge damage as i saw fit
:made some units on certain factions stronger for longer survibability like the boii scythia and seleucids
also giving generals unit more hp to help fight of invaders
(of course this changes if your using those factions)
:boosted spartan units and moral
:some minor edits to the descr strat like walls to korinthos to prevent sparta from expanding (they should stay at a stalemate unless macedon or rome step in)
:upkeep for home faction units increased and to some factions for balance
:for the roman campagn you may want to upgrade before you move out ive weakened the roman units slightly more for difficulty good luck beating hannibal
:ive finished rome macedon and sparta and soon to finish the rest
i recommend playing ALX exe on very hard medium settings, i tested in hard and very hard campagn and noticed the ai was better; they would retrain troops more often and have less spam armies (i know theres people who say that you get more money in very hard but i tested and this isn't true i can assure you!! at least in the ALX exe. (This is for 0 turn but it should work on one turn havent tried tho) factions like seleucids boii, and scythia should survive past 650 auc, as long as they dont get triple teamed though, the seleucids should survive either way, just be smart with diplomacy
note: i edited the 2.0 edu as i like the biggers stack numbers so i recomend going back (since the battles are short it shouldnt bug you too much) you can just replace the character traits edu to get political general thing fixed and the battle counter but it does works on 2.1 tho i didn't test much
: there is a bug in non roman campaign were a peasant is in the place of the legionary velite on the campagn map unit card i dont know how to fix this and if someone does some help would be appreciated
So here it is let me know what you think, and if you see imbalances let me know, suggestions are welcome. This is my first mod by the way, so it might not be perfect. Heres the links theres five 2 for each, except Macedon, just remove the faction name on the end of the file and it should be usable.{for example the export descr unit txt for rome will say export_descr_unit.txtrome just remove the rome part and replace it with the old one in the data folder on the Play Rome Folder :note if you havent started a campaign for that faction you wont need to replace it just copy it straight in there:for the descr_strat file replace it in data>world>maps>imperial campaign in your play rome folder. Do the same for macedon and sparta. REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE FILES IN THE FOLDER OF THE CAMPAGN YOUR PLAYING DONT REPLACE THE FILES IN YOUR RS DIRECTORY IT WILL JUST REVERT BACK TO THE OLD EDU I will soon release edus for the other factions
