[Blitzkrieg80]

The DüB's DuB Mod Collection

Superior Campaign AI... Superior Challenge... Real TOTAL WAR

---

PHILOSOPHY

The general idea of this Mod is that the default game A.I. should do what was intended (& not happening) & provide some kind of challenge - a 'Total War' challenge, because nobody plays Total War games for civilization-building & technology research mechanics (lolz). I've noticed that the Vanilla AI generally doesn't have sufficient funds to do much at all. By giving the AI Economy & Research bonuses, we can then instruct the AI not to construct those types of buildings & instead focus on Military. Similarly, the AI doesn't seem to have enough foresight to defend itself properly- thus higher recruitment capability. & these principles prove valid.

If you play Rome 2 using TheDuBMod, I guarantee at some point that you'll eventually need to use stacks of troops to counter their stacks- but just how soon and just how bad is based on Difficulty level. You will also need to stack unit recuitment Morale bonuses (such as from Training Fields & Temples of the War gods) in your provinces in order to stay competitive on the battlefield. I wouldn’t necessarily call it spam because Total War has always been based on this wholly battlefield-dependent style of strategic warfare... in other words, you have to get good at the game instead of easy cruise control on the hardest settings- sorry! It would be nice if the AI was able to function outside of this, but alas it is not…

This is the era of TOTAL WAR: no more self-limitation, no more roleplaying BS (unless by choice)... This Mod is NOT for players who think Total War games are difficult… I hope you like tactical & predatory behavior in your AI!

EPIC BATTLES!

Harder, Better, Longer, Stronger.. More than.. Ever.. Hour After.. Our.. Work is.. Never Over (j/k)

Epic is a very subjective word... but Heroism is implied. Romanticism is somewhat similarly based in these interrelated concepts but outside the scope of this outline, but my point is that much of early Man’s storytelling / merrymaking originated from this and not principles of Realism. I personally strive for realism as much as possible, but a video game is meant to be played for entertainment. I will not call this a Realism Battle Mod by design, but that doesn’t mean real life battlefield physics is lacking. The film 300 is a perfect example of this sort of Heroism in art, which is a good deal more accurate than many movies in terms of depiction of combat in Ancient warfare (shield-wall), despite surrealistic fantasy “cow-people.” ;o)

Another feature includes the reintroduction of the importance of different Cavalry weight-classes in reference to Charging & combat Speed on the battlefield. Weight matters! Medium Cavalry is a crucial in-between class, both faster & heavier… Lighter Cavalry is definitely faster than other Cavalry, while Heavier Cavalry is definitely slower but more powerful.

I thought that Dresden was a modding machine but you seem to be the same kind of guy

I really like the fact that you propose a large and diverse choice of mods/submods so that every kind of player is satisfied.

I'm waiting on the release of RRR and the possible compatibility with AGA/DeI to start a new Roman campaign along with your CAI mod.

[AngryPolack]

Blitzkrieg I started a new rome campaign using your "Real Roma" mod. The campaign AI is so much better. I'm also using the mod that increases all the major powers starting size ( except for Rome). Carthage declared war on me and is actually quite aggressive. Your mod makes a huge difference. Thx man!!

[Blitzkrieg80]

Thanks for the positive comments - i really appreciate it after so much work :o/ oy!

Sounds like you guys could use an especially compatible version for AGA? not sure if DeI is another mod or submod... should look into that... im guessing my battle mod wont be compatible but i could do all but that or even just change the fatigue tables with the cool x3 DEF EPIC-ness... also could change weapons too and that would be the most easy + cool parts of my battle mod imo let me know what you guys would prefer or ill just do it whimsically lol

[carbide]

DeI includes the author of AGA plus quite a few authors from other mods which have joined up and combined the mods/or parts of each. They're constantly adding to it improving it even more each day. There have been some asking if your CAI would be compatible with it as they've not approached working on this area, I believe they touched on the building, replenishing, and so forth. Others and my self included would love to see a CAI version compatible with DeI and possibly include some of your optional ones such as diplomatic and army composition and others that might work with it.

I'm using your latest CAI version with DeI even though I know there may be a few conflicts and have been experiencing really good results from the CAI. Has certainly been keeping me on my toes and actually having to plan out my moves instead of just rushing ahead.

+rep for your hard work already done to improve the game.


Edit\ In the latest posts of DeI the authors have mentioned that they've started working on the CAI parts so it may not be worth your time trying to keep a compatible version up. I'll just continue using your latest for the time being as I'm really enjoy my latest campaign with it.

[Brips]

Hello, I really like your custom choices!

But, the LowRec+NoLove is this (list below) with low Rec and no cheat/gives to AI??=>

• Increased AI ‘Military Aggressiveness’ by personality / policy along with other factors to make the AI much more prone to attack the player, esp. when at war with others (except African/Arabian who seem to be nerfed by intent for Carthage, Egypt, ect).
• AI focuses more on building Units (Land over Naval)
• AI can Recruit MUCH MORE Units per turn, by Difficulty: (14) / (15) / (15) / (16) / (16)
• Human Player can Recruit MUCH MORE Units per turn, by Difficulty: (8) / (8) / (7) / (7) / (6)
• AI receives additional Cash / ‘Subsistence’ every Turn, scaled by Difficulty
• AI receives additional Research every Turn, scaled by Difficulty
• AI receives additional Happiness in every Province, scaled by Difficulty
• AI receives additional Food in every Province, scaled by Difficulty

And this are not inside the standard or alternative version?

It's sooooo difficult to find the perfect personal campaign settings with mods, but you are the most customizable modder here^^
I just want a clever CAI (I already have graphics, battle, gameplay, UI etc mods).
I mean no cheat for CAI but better acting in choices. No gives to CAI (money, food etc) but better army constitution, building construction choices, clever money uses and the most difficult, clever strategical movements. Defend when it's needed, attack when it's needed.
Thus, It seems that the LowRec+NoLove is for me, but a "VanillaRec+HighAggro+NoLove (with historical army comp, better building construction and diplomacy mod) will be the best for me

PS:I think with "complete" in the name mod, nobody knows that there is so much options, it seems to be a "compilation/an all in one" of your mods

[Blitzkrieg80]

I changed No Love For AI to just No Cash and no Unit EXP over time... because there is no point, in my opinion, to having a good deal of the features, like re-assigning building priority from research to military (if they dont have research, food, ect.)... but you give me an excellent idea for a BareBones mod for the CAI since nobody else seems to really utilize the very most important AI aspect - THE TASK GENERATOR! which has even new values in Patch 7 like Defend threatened areas actively and Raid Unstable regions, which sound interesting but need to be INCREASED in order to see at all! everyone else is very skittish / timid about upping those values, probably in the same way people are shy from unit buffs... but its not correct in this case and i think a barebones would do show everyone - it would work great for what you want to...

are you saying the text or the file doesn't have the correct info? i will check but its a little confusing so i thought id ask before getting into it..

COMPLETE has all the mods lists with numbers... the only mods not included would be Roma-only or diminished alternatives like Easy Peacy is a barebones of the Peace in Realpolitik

___

anyone curious about AGA / DEI

I asked the project leader and my modding is not desired / "needed." Feel free to question them about it / change their mind ;o)

I even made the BareBones Mod which is a completely compatible stripped down version of my Mod that should work with everything.

AGA is compatible with all but Battle Mod so i think similar for DEI but i cannot say for sure because as I said (not going too deep into something i'm not alllowed in on lol)

I see Dresden is involved in DEI so no wonder people like it so much

[Brips]

Thanks for your answers

I mean the word "complete" in the name mod page makes may be think about a compilation of your mods in one pack, without the possibility to have lots of optional packs to choose to have a very customize and personal campaign TheDuBMod COMPLETE/CUSTOMIZABLE Campaign - Patch 7
Also, the mod in the campaign topic doesn't show all the individual minimods like realdiplomatik etc (in the first page of the topic)


If I take LowRec+NoLoveAI, do I need to take BareBones optional pack or is intergrated?

RealDiplomatic pack creates to much wars for me, I like some peace time tea with neighbours Do the "barebones" declare more wars because of priorities than vanilla?

What's exactly the UberSchnellRiposte Pack?

[bydlo]

Well it's seems like dub hardcore makes civil war occur on the 21 turn. Already started 3 campaigns (Athens, Carthage and Pontus) and all has ended in the same maneur. Is it bug or was intended?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[Blitzkrieg80]

UPDATED Philosophy, CHANGES / INFO - new links up too

_____

bydlo, sorry that is not intended at all- sounds like a bummer. what mods are you using together?

just in case it is on my end, i today rolled out an update which increases the fame level MIN for civil war but i did not change anything to do with the civil war to begin with... this change is made for the benefit of everybody vs civil wars and hopefully addresses anything i might be influencing or is from the Patch 7 update... i think the additional army capacity based on fame MIGHT be a factor but i only changed the army value and not the fame levels whatsoever

________

Brips, The BareBones Mod is the heart and soul of TheDuBMod (lol ok maybe not that serious but trying to make a point). The Handicaps have never been what its about and yet they define the main difference between BareBones and TheDuBMod... so it won't conflict, but there is no point in using the BareBones if you use any CampaignAI mod by me.

lol so the answer is yes, you do not need it if you choose Low Rec+NoLove4AI - sorry for the long answer

I was using only some unit packs and reskins. Well, i've started a campaign for pontus without your mod, no civil war occured even with 3 provinces and in late 60s turns. Then i've added your campaign AI (not hardcore) The game continued without any civil war issue. Then i've swapped campaign ai with campaign ai hardcore. The civil war started on the next turn.
Then i've started a campaign for Pontus again with hardcore from the beginning the result on the screenshot in the last my post.

[Blitzkrieg80]

try the new file - maybe the issue will disappear <crosses fingers> also let me know next time if movie pack or steam workshop version -thanks
please note FAME / Army capacity also since this is directly tied to why the Civil War is happening...

[Brips]

Sorry but, what's exactly the "UberSnellRipost" pack?

(ps: good name mod page change etc And I didn't know that "à la carte" was used in english Paradox: In french we often use "custom" )

[Blitzkrieg80]

I didn't know you're French - interesting French name, Brips btw ;o)

oui, c'est vrai... most commonly used in elementary school lunch cafeterias :O)

UberSchnell Riposte is exactly 40x Melee Attack at Fresh instead of default Waelwulf at 1.8 now (the result of increasing the value as a lark and discovering it is 'faster' lol sorta... as close as you get to speeding things up)

*New* versions of Campaign / Battle AI Patch7_v2 already up on Steam - need to update manual links tho

UPDATED CHANGES / INFO on very cool stuff on Battle Mod

[Brips]

I'm Belgian speaking french part

Ok for UberSchnell

Why don't you put the DL link for "NoLoveForAI, HighAggro, LowRec, LowREc+NoLove etc etc" optional packs replacing the standard pack?

Well done for the mod presentation update

Cheers

[Blitzkrieg80]

Hey Brips thanks - the downloads you ask for are present but i put all 'Alternatives' on the SECOND post - i guess i should make it clearer

sorry no version 2 for Patch 7 links yet

[EDIT]

FYI anyone - NEW MODS in MODULAR AREA (links to Steam atleast if i dont have files here yet)

I also renamed AddSackLiberate Mod to reflect new design

[bydlo]

Well, 100 turns for Baktria without a cvil war, it's seems like the issue was fixed. Great thanks.
Do you plan to make a version with big stats bonuses for enemy units like in version 5 again?

[Blitzkrieg80]

oh good to know - thanks for confirming that bug was eliminated... maybe it was fame change in Patch 7

I decided the game is sufficiently hard without the unit stat bonuses... esp now that every unit has amplified Melee Defense ect through Fatigue... I kept the values for Hardcore though (the vanilla values)... so if you miss it, try Hardcore with lower Recruitment (makes it easier)

ill try to have the new manual links up soon for campaign mod - otherwise use the Steam one

[bydlo]

Well even though i use the hardcore version seem's like bonuses were nerfed. The peltasts from the v7 have almost no bonuses, the oathsworns are from the v5. The difference clearly noticeable.
