@Lusted - Balance issue: Campaign + 2Hd-Weapons

[notger]

Dear Lusted:

First of all, thanks for your mod. I like the slower pace, though the rapid growth of the cities is somewhat of a problem. Here are my questions on balancing, concerning the campaign and the 2Hd-Weapons.

1. Campaign: Is there no other way to help the AI getting up a serious economy than giving them 15.000 everytime they need it?
Puny Portugal can afford as many stacks as mighty France can, because no AI faction is in any need for money, anymore. They can spend every way they want and obviously, they do. Portugal and the Moors get 15.000 nearly every turn, which feels a little bit like cheating.
My suggestion: Lower the cap and the bonus, e.g. to 5.000 as soon as 5.000 treasury is reached. (Though that still smells strange to me.)

2. Unit statistics: I did some testing with the 2Hd-units the HRE has to offer, and they are not worth their money. They lose every time with 2:1 causualties to equally expensive units France has to offer. Is this intended or is this still work-in-progress?

Yours
Notger.

The ai can do fine economically without the boost, its just that with the boost the ai becomes a lot tougher.

Test them against Dismounted Chivalric Knights. Dismounted Gothivc Knights will rip through them.

1. Campaign: Thank you for your info.

2. I tested them and they behaved like you said. It seems I only tested them against units with the armour-piercing ability and they easily beat every other armoured unit. So, is there a use for the Zweihanders and DGK? Slaughtering armoured seargents and peasants, perhaps.

Again, thanks for your response and keep up the good work.
