Description:
This mod reduces the upkeep of any army stationed within a settlement. This encourages more armies on the map and increases the number of defensive battles you may be playing.

How does the mod work:
The mod has attached some upkeep reduction effects to the "situational stance" called "Garrisoned".

This means whenever an army is within a city, it gets upkeep reductions.

How much is the upkeep reduced?
The mod uses "tabletop caps" to define reductions.

  • Units that are "core" in that mod receive a 30% upkeep discount.
  • Units that are "special" in that mod receive a 20% discount.
  • Units that are "rare" in that mod receive a 10% discount.

Do I need to use tabletop caps for this mod to work?
Nope 🙂

Does this also affect the AI?
Yes, and through my testing, it doesn’t suffer. If anything I have found lots more armies on the campaign map.

Faction specific notes:
I noted in my own playtests, the Tomb Kings struggled to compete with the increase in armies as a result of this mod, and so added a small buff: Lahmia/Khemri (at any level) or any T3+ Major city will increase TK army cap by 1. This should make playing TK with this mod more fair!
