Bran Mac Born's NTW 3 Single Player Campaign AI Settings

[DarthSonar]

Hi, comrad Bran.
NTW3 - great mod, but with your submod is much better.
But in all big battle I see this f...ing picture. All AI units in big horde, not strong line formation.
Why?
You see this too?
Can you fix it?

p.s. I use Alb23Modified_Deployment_Zones.pack - for make big zones - but AI anyway construct horde...

[Bran Mac Born]

What the hell is that?????????? I have not seen that ever. Is that at the start of the battle? Are the units getting stuck? Play a custom battle and see if they do that. It could be a map issue.

[Bran Mac Born]

UPDATE: FIX for army unit blobbing. Changed close unit spacing settings.Factions should make larger Navies. Post one. Test and report if this works

[DarthSonar]

Bran, don"t start custom battle... Begin standard Austria campaign and form full army for attack Bavaria. Then attack city in other move. Battle started and you see blobbing units...

[Bran Mac Born]

Did you use the up dated file? Does this happen on all campaign battle maps or just that one?

[Hammerstout]

Any chance you can update the 40 unit file with the fix to stop blobbing? Thanks.

[Bran Mac Born]

UPDATE: New version of 40 unit and Total War Slaughter versions with blob fix.

My only complaint so far is the stats changes made to the Mameluke and polish lancer units. They are weaker than their Chasseur a Cheval de la Garde counterpart. If I recall correctly, the polish lancers had a far more successful history combating other cavalry units. Additionally they were known to make suicidal charges and take artillery emplacements without the support of infantry or other cavalry units. Their morale never wavered to a fault. Their squadrons were reputed for making self destructive charges which allowed for following troops to successfully carry on the attack. I would love to see these minor alterations in an update. I personally feel that these two units have been done a disservice.

UPDATE: Increased Zone of Control and Line of Slight for Generals, new trigger ents, units balance stats for Heavy Cav and Lancer units now have better charge bonus. All versions.
itsyoshiduh-did changes for the units you requested.

I played the last 40unit per army submod, but maintenance cost for Kingdom of Italy units are not balanced to fix 40 units per army

Hey Bran, love your work but i had a problem with the 40 unit version, i deleted NTW3_cl_campaign_spcn_v51 and put the 40 unit archive but i went to the game started a new campaign and it seems it's still with 20 units.Is there anything i can do?

[Bran Mac Born]

Luke-ms find instructions on post #15. Italiano-will lower upkeep for those units.

[Rezorekt]

I wish there was a version that would make units fire in a mass fire command. So they would shoot like skirmishers, and not only one line.

[Lord Davn]

So they would shoot like skirmishers, and not only one line.

This was standard practice for the day. The British with their smaller units would deploy in a two rank formation with both ranks shooting and nobody would out shoot the British infantry on the battlefield.

UPDATE: Changed settings for Regional Defense and Region Group Defense. Ai should keep some armies together to protect cities instead of being too spread out. All versions updated. Save game compatible.
