Re: BROKEN CRESCENT 2.4 !RELEASE! - !PREVIEW! AND !DOWNLOAD!
I noticed that the Kingdom of Jerusalem is helplessly overpowered due to their large pool of heavily armoured infantry which kills everything in autocalc. Their roster is basically double the size of that of other factions and since most units pools have a maximum of one the larger number of different units allows KoJ to recruit two to three times more heavy infantry than other factions. (Example, they can hire templar sergeants, hospitaller sergeants, crusaders sergeants, armoured sergeants and regular sergeants all of which are on par with the second tier(!) skoutatoi spearmen of the byzantines, and similarly for the heavy swordsmen/halberdiers.) I can understand a certain imbalance in this, if it is intended to emphasise the European heavy infantry, but firstly a three/five to one ratio is a bit much and secondly I would expect the crusaders to field more knightly cav in their armies, which they do not do at all because the AI (rightly) regards the armoured infantry as more cost-effective. One might also consider increasing the unit pool cap to two per unit for other factions to allow them a more adequate recruitment of higher tier units and maybe one should allow low tier units to be recruited independent of the AoR effects.
Armoured infantry might also need a bit of a nerf in general. Slav Spearmen and Swordsmen have freakishly large defense values but seem to be somewhat spammable by the Kypchaks and their neighbours.
