[Request] Larger garrison for Romans and Sassanid Rebalancing

**Toho** · February 21, 2015, 03:20 PM

This is just a request to give a larger base garrison to the Roman factions to help them to push back the AI barbarians and at least give them a chance to remain strong until Attila actually comes of Age because by then the entire west has already collapsed and ERE is half way there. It does vary of course but by the time Attila shows up the 'crush the roman empire' mission is pretty much already long over.
Also decrease the current Sassanid vassal loyalty/friendliness to the point to recreate the Seleucid empire style campaign for the Sassanids.

Yes !!! This is incredibly needed !!

Agree!

I can defeat barbarian armies easily by rushing two halfstack Roman armies all over the Balkans- butt the constant rebellions and attrition are stopping me from going to help WRE. They've pretty much collapsed now, & most of Gaul is a moonscape.

I'll volunteer, since I'm already editing garrisons for my other mod, and this is really easy to do.

Larger garrisons could be done a couple of ways. The first would be to increase the number of units offered by each garrison grouping. The second would be to increase the number of buildings that provide a garrison.

I think the best way to do this would be to just add garrison units to the basic town and city not the other buildings. I also think their should be more units in cities then settlements since it is the capital of the province.

I wish there was a way to help the roman rebels and make them much more stronger and expansionist.
if WRE or ERE collapse thats fine as long as the 'rebel' Romans take over.

the game is in need of stronger garrisons, i am eagerly awaiting a mod of this type.

If only a patch would make this universal. It would be a lot more fun as the WRE to literally be able to destroy and entire horde army with a garrison in defensive testudo rather than half of an army. The Sassanid satraps only made the Sassanid empire stronger, not weaker. It would be nice if the satraps were made weaker too.

**Toho** · February 22, 2015, 04:44 PM

The Sassanid suggestion was because the Sassanid player does not need to worry about anything from the east and their satraps are pretty much 100% green. it would be fun to have both ERE and uncertain internal strife for the Sassanids.

This mod would be wonderful.

The AI doesn't seem to know how to defend large empires; they have a tendency to bunch their stacks together and leave huge swaths of vulnerable territory undefended.

This isn't a problem for the Sassanids, because they typically don't have to deal with more than one crisis at a time. For the AI Romans, this is a huge problem. Fighting the Sassanids means that the AI ERE leaves nearly their entire empire undefended. A couple barbarian stacks from the Danube will destroy half of their empire.

Alternatively, satrapy income could be drastically reduced. The Sassanids benefit from a huge source of income that is not reduced by corruption.
