Gladius – Absolute War
Absolute War is an overhaul mod aimed at rescaling the game to be as realistic as possible to their in-universe sizes. From the trees, to the buildings and units- everything that can be modified, has been.
Feel the true power of your armies as you trample over enemies as the Tyranids, "convince" other races to your point of view as the Tau, or purge all of those xeno scum as the Imperial Guard and Space Marines.
The rescale itself is overall about a x12 for infantry, with vehicles and heroes either scaled up or balanced around it.
E.g. You won’t see a bunch of Lord Commissars running around in a unit, but they are buffed up enough as to hold themselves in battle.
Balance will likely never be 100%, but as long as each faction is fun to play and fun to play against- I see that as balanced.
Due to the intensity of the rescale, it is very likely to experience lag during the end turns whilst the AI moves on larger maps. But- it’s not as laggy as you might expect it to be; Usually on your turns you shouldn’t experience TOO many issues.
But as all mods go; use it at your own risk (or break it as much as you can; I won’t judge)
Want a rescale mod that’s a little less extreme and a lot more balanced?
I highly recommend Drragen’s "Tabletop Gladius" overhaul, which features unit rescaling, a melee combat overhaul, and more! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2160826864
