[Download & Installation] Divide et Impera 1.3.2a - Updated April 16 2023

[Dresden]

No promises on how it works or if its been updated https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...rking-with-DEI

I would like to eventually have a submod that uses Constantine resources for the ED campaign (with some edits) and possibly, in the far future, have a Constantine DeI version.

The mod doesn't work for me using the latest version of Rome 2 , but when I launch with "launcher_release_candidate" option in Steam, it works though in game menu it says something about a new version of mod. (I downloaded the one on the first page) I tried both Workshop and twcenter version of the mod. (twcenter version was the one that I managed to launch). Do I just ignore the message about the new version then?

Hi DEI team!
When I launch the game by Steam, Mod manager says my mods are outdated.
I only have your mod 3 parts of DEI.
When I launch the game, the version on the launch screen is 2.4.0.
Is it normal?
Thank you for your great work!!

Hi guys,
Im a professional lurker, but I have been playing DEI since 2015.
You can´t imagine how grateful I am for the awesome mod you made and the amount of hours I spent playing it!

I was wondering... Since we didnt have any new content since december, could you at least give us a small teaser about whats coming next? Even if its just some vague info, I just want to buid my hype up!
If you don´t want to, or if it´s not the time, I will undestand .

Again, thank you so much, and sorry for my english, its not my mother language .

[Dresden]

Sure, we have some info posted on our Patreon page and discord quite often. But a general preview:

- New Media units and a new reform for that faction. New units for a couple other factions
- New faction traits for most barbarian factions.
- Reworked Change Capital button so it doesn't bug for many people and has a new location and its own button rather than using the encyclopedia button.
- Fixes for the ancillary disappearing issue
- Some more stuff

We hope to have a preview for Media soon and a public beta where everyone can try out the new changes.

I have also posted some sneak peak shots on Screenshot thread few minutes ago

[JackGuarrels]

Woooow that´s exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much

Hello, just a quick question, does this mod change only the Grand Campaign, in otherwords leaves the DLC's untouched?

No, it works with the DLC's too. Wrath of Sparta is completely changed, its the Macedonian wars against Rome.

[GeeTW]

Thankyou.

Hey, so I have played two campaigns so far with DEI(love it lots)
one with Getae which I got to around turn 268
and one with Kimbroz which I got to around turn 320ish(one im on now)

The reason I did not continue with these campaigns was because everytime I ended the turn, it would crash without going onto the next turn.
I have tried everything that I know of;
beta launcher
restarting computer
deleting and resubbing to the mods
etc etc
the only thing that I found left is to use this TWC version of DEI. SADLY, its not working, I am not sure what I'm doing wrong cause I know I must be, but everytime I start Rome II, and go to mod manager, I dont see any mods there... Its in my data folder of the Rome II, which took me a while to figure out how to do, but its still not working...
Is it possible to maybe get some more detailed instructions on how to install/download the TWC version of DEI? I was hoping it'd be more stable than the steam version

[Dresden]

Do you have any other mods or submods in your data folder?

The standalone version you put in the data folder and it should show up in the Steam mod manager. Then you activate it like any other mod. I can't remember if you have to "enable out of date mods" anymore or not with the new launcher.

[PotatoOfCarthage]

You have to unpack the part 1 and 2 files, they are in 7z format (zipped). You need to unpack them and have the .pack files.

Battle Changes

Balance and other changes:

- Fatigue penalty increased but it takes longer to reach the various tiers.
- Slightly increased unit spotting range.
- Reworked unit experience threshholds.
- Reworked morale values to make them more balanced throughout a campaign.
- Reduce killing power of infantry charge, units with expert charge defense can effectively counter charges.
- Melee intervals (cooldown between attack animations) lowered from 3 to 1.5 seconds.
- Spear units are now tougher to kill in melee, Sword units have a bonus vs infantry.
- Unit hitpoints and weapon damage reworked, hopefully cavalry and elephants will take less casualties from autoresolve
- Various specific units like agrianian infantry, Socii units and war dogs reworked.

Ranged Combat Changes:
- Artillery ammo reduced, slightly increased damage to siege equipment from fire.
- Iberians now have access to their historical flaming javelins.
- Fixed trajectory of horse archer attacks sometimes preventing AI from fully using them.
- Added small knockback chance to all ranged weapons when soldiers are wounded by projectiles.
- Cavalry harder to decimate by precursor javelins of infantry but those javelins can now disrupt charges with knockback.

Battle AI Behavior:
- AI should now use disciplined formation in defensive battles.
- Both Shock and Melee cavalry are classified as shock cavalry now to improve AI use of those units.
- Infantry without ranged weapons will now properly brace vs cavalry and will use non phalanx formations properly.

Unit Movement and Combat Animations:
- All Thureophoroi and 2handed non heavy units now have 3 speed.
- Pikes and Hoplites have a harder time passing through enemy units.
- More rare kill animations should play out.
- Slight increase to medium and heavy infantry speed.
- Increased unit acceleration and deceleration speed to improve unit spacing after charge.
- Improved unit spacing for many units and fixed issues of unit overlap.
- Increased variety between soldier heights for various units.

UI Changes

- Added ranged stats to elephant UI display

New Special Horses & Cavalry Changes
- Various units now have special horse types that give them specific bonuses.
- New Thessalian horse entry that combines both speed and charge power.
- Numidian horse that lacks charge but has great speed/acceleration, guerilla deployment and ignores ground penalties.
- Celtic Mairepos warhose that has speed and a greater charge power due to size.
- New Parthian Nisean horses as well.
- Camels now have custom weapon entries with a combat advantage over horses and a larger morale hit against cavalry.
- Reduced and added more variety to cavalry running speeds.
- Elephants have been reworked - they are more resilient against ranged and a bit easier to kill in prolonged melee. Fixed an issue where some tower elephants had double the hitpoints intended.
- Reduced strength of frontal cavalry charge on fresh units but increased ratio of AI cycle charging. AI will cycle charge less if they are doing well in melee.
- Cavalry takes larger casualties when pulling out of combat.
- Iberian horses once again have their unique look and changed look of Iberian armored horse.


Campaign\Unit Changes


New Median Overhaul and Reforms (Preview)

- Highlights include the Arverni's new ability to form client states, new population system interaction for various factions, and more.

Naval Overhaul Summary from Demosthenes26
- Ramming speeds, acceleration, and base ramming damage have been increased to make ramming more effective. Most ships can sink a ship of the same type in two rams. This makes double-teaming a great tactic, as a follow-up ram from a short distance has reduced force.
- Updated the recruitment templates for all AI Hellenic factions, reflecting battle fleets and patrol fleets with historical faction considerations. Generally an "early" and a "late" version of each, with the late version given preference once those ships are available.
- More Scorpions added on Tetreres level ships and up.
- Lighter vessels now have further campaign movement range than heavier vessels, allowing for patrol vs battle fleets.

- Intellectual trait has a slightly higher chance to increase and slightly lower chance to decrease.
