    FIGHT LIKE a MAN: Hardcore Overhaul



    Version: 1.1e (1.1e New AGGRESSIVE battle and campaign AI + new battle and campaign cameras! Also a detailed GDP remastering.


    Short desription: This is a battle and campaign overhaul for harcore total war fans. It gives an unique experience to everyone who dares to try it! Rome 2 has been raped and slapped like a little ***** by this mod for being an arcade game.

    (5) 41 units tutorial
    (6) Download links
    (7) Screenshots







    (1) LAST CHANGES:

    - New remastered GDP properties for agriculture, culture, industry, subsistence and trade! (75 rows of new values)
    - Implemented a new really AGGRESSIVE AI both for battle and campaign (Thanks to modder junaidi83 who's work was an inspiration for me.)
    - Added new customised battle and campaign camera. Now it's possible to zoom in and out way further!
    - Compatible with Patch 16.
    - Reworked majority of gameplay settings.
    - ALL infantry now have 16 men in depth when deployed, resulting in square formations = better AI. This DOESN'T apply to Romans, they have 8 men in depth (except for auxiliaries).
    - ALL land units (Cavalry, Skirmishers, Infantry) now have 200 men in a unit (no more 240 because of the game developer's bug with naval landings). I assure you, it's not a bug.
    - Fixed the "javelin" bug. (Adame, díky.)
    - Completelly reworked unit's walk/crawl/run speed, acceleration, decceleration, charge behavior, HP.
    - Completelly reworked the fatigue system.
    - Completelly reworked the morale system.
    - All land units now have the large transport ship assigned.
    - Elephants now have 40 animals.
    - Chariots now have 40 vehicles.
    - Siege engines now have 10 engines and 100 engineers.
    - Dogs now have 100 men and 200 animals.
    - All old units in campaign stayed the same (240), but newly recuited have 200 men now.
    - SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE.

    This mod transforms Rome 2 into Rome 2: Realistic Combat And Campaign Edition. It's packed with a lot of features real total war and historical military fan want! It contains Very Large scale battles, Massive size of ones military, a way more realistic combat, not like the most popular mods (Radious, Divide et Impera), but unlike anything up to date! Are you tired of having perfectly synchronized "men rows"? Is everybody running thesame and with the same speed? Is it too arcade? Well, this mod is for you then!

    Realistic Battle Flexibility:

    > Closer and bigger deployment zones in battle.
    > Cusom campaign and battle camera allowing for extreme close-ups and long shots.


    Aggressive and Smarter AI:
    > Hugely tweaked AI tables to achieve way more aggressive and smarer AI behaviour on both battle and campaign map.


    Realistic Combat:
    > Very realistic combat mechanics closely studied for years to achieve best possible results.[SIZE=5]

    >>>> All naval units stayed at their default size.


    Outstanding Economy:
    > Recruitment costs and upkeep have been drastically reduced.
    > Supports up to 10 - 20 TIMES as much UNITS than in Vanilla!!!


    Massive Recruitment:
    > You can have much more armies and navies per Imperium level.

    If I want to increase unit size, and make a tad lower defense and a tad higher offense. Without changing naval size (but increase offense, lower defense)...what file and program do I need to use?

    I play with toontotalwar and it adds tons of units. Would be a lot to change, but if that is best way...

    Thanks.

    also, there are couple more values like hit percentage, HP and so on.... Unfortunatelly incompatible with other mods, for now... I'll se, if would people like it, I would make it compatible with major overhauls.

    I don't recommend to have units bigger than 240 because of the naval landing bug. Army size tutorial is above.

    Probably not, many people prefer non-steam links even if they have the retail version (me included)

    Discussion of anything that involves using pirated copies of this game is considered against the ToS, so please refrain from addressing this topic.

    First of all i have to say that i love long battles, as they were in ancient times. Just a clarification: there weren't any changes between first and second rank (or, at least, there is no historical evidence of it), but between first line maniples (or cohorts) and second line ones: a maniples fought for ten-fifty minutes, then it was relayed by another maniple...and battles last all day.
    anyway, is good to have a sub mod with longer battles

    0. You need an allready crated savegame.

    1. Download this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pack...7.zip/download

    2. Run EditSF.exe.

    3. Open your savegame. (Located here: C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\save_games)

    4. Go to: Campaign_Save_Game > Compressed_Data > Campaign_Env > Campaign_Model

    5. Change ONLY the 9th value from 20 to 41. - if only one item is changed, the system always changes both! Unfortunately, so you can not have more units than the computer. (porthos5)

    6. Save the file and close EditSF.exe.

    7. Play the game![/QUOTE]

    Out of curiosity, why exactly is that?

    You can find non steam version in the folder after you've downloaded it

    Every real fan of total war games and historical military should try it.
