Battle Realism Mod
I was not happy with the vanilla land battles. They felt too fast and some units (especially some archers and trebuchets) were simply too effective. This mod rebalances battles to give them a more realistic and slower-paced feeling.
Features:
Battle balance tweaks:
– Slower melee combat, adjusted fatigue rates accordingly
– Archers are less accurate, reduced range
– Archers no longer fire in a high arc if there is an obstacle between them and their target
– Trebuchets have a realistic spread, reduced range, but increased ammo
– Cavalry charges are less effective
– Cavalry slightly faster, turns slowe
– Settlement towers less deadly
– Spear units are more effective against cavalry
– Fires are more difficult to ignite and spread slower.
– Removed battle difficulty unit stats modifiers
– Redone morale penalties and bonuses.
This mod is meant for records mode. Tested for extreme unit size.
I will continue to improve the mod based on my own experiences and user feedback.
