[Submod] Historical Naval Overhaul DEI 0.95x Ver2.0 FINAL

[BunnyPoopCereal]

This mod is designed for DEI. Compatible with 0.95x.

Ver 2.0 Final

- Added single ship units
- Reworked upkeep for naval units


I hope you guys enjoy the final patch. I will be updating the mod only for compatibility issues.

Ver 1.4

- Doubled naval unit sizes

Note: It never made sense why naval units are so expensive and yet weaker than land units.


Ver 1.3

- Increased campaign movement requirement for land armies moving to sea by one turn (Takes time to build ships)
- Boosted Navy stance: Double time to use for all naval units
- Halved naval unit campaign movement


Note: This is the only existing solution for increasing transport unit speeds. You can thank CA's incompetence for that.

There is a bug where land armies transitioning from sea to land will automatically go on Patrol Region (aka Forced March) stance. This is hard-coded and we can offer no solution.

Ver 1.2

- Added complete naval battle overhaul
- All ship speeds have been adjusted according to ship type
- Mass of ships revamped
- Other factors (acceleration, deceleration etc..) adjusted in a logical manner according to real world principles

Ver 1.0

- Increases campaign movement points for all naval units proportionate to ship type
- Increases naval unit replenishment rates
- Increases ramming speeds based on ship type

This is sorely needed, and works really well, thanks! Could ship speeds on the battlemap be slowed as well?

[stevehoos]

Is a non steam link possible?

[Doktor Soviet]

So wait, does this make transports slower or faster than vanilla DeI?

Because I found transports to be ridiculously slow. It is absurd when land armies start to outpace embarked ones, even though travelling by ship has always been much faster.

Yeah I was annoyed as well and had to do something about it. Transports are somewhere between a rate 4-5 ship. Making them slower in the campaign map compared to most other ship types (mostly due to their size carrying all the men, weapons and supplies) but still faster than land armies.

This is accomplished by using double time which I have boosted for this reason.

I've enjoying the faster naval speeds but is there anyway to improve naval pathfinding? its killing my campaign, I know your mod is not causing it, its just Rome 2, but theres gotta be something that can be tweaked to help the AI somehow my allies are stuck on coastlines

Thank you for this, testing tonight!

Great job Bunny. Nothing else needs to be said lol.

[Hetairos]

Thanks for adding the credits to your modification. I do appreciate the acknowledgement. After all it was a work of about three months of research, modding and crazy testing to create this battle balancing for the naval warfare.

Cheers
Hetairos

PS: Good luck with this project.

Can you please do something about the ship boarding bug? Getting sick and tired of seeing ships getting stuck in melee mode after they won the boarding.

[MagicCuboid]

Hey, this is great! Nice job BPC and thanks for doing what I was unwilling to do

hm.. This is the first time I hear about this being a bug. Ill check and see if anything can be done about it.

Is this change savegame compatible?

The size was cept that low because I guess it is due to buggy bording/landing (similar to transportship bug)
Therfore I will stick to vers. 1.3 for the moment

[stevehoos]

1.4- Having some ships get stuck because of unit sizes, happened once, have to be judicious about ship placement. Not sure how the AI will handle this? Hoping it works though, have not tried this since back in September of last year, More testing tonight.
