KaseMod
The main premise for this mod is to make the AI more aggressive and to have more engaging wars.
-Traits are more important in deciding how aggressive and trustworthy the AI leaders will be as well as how the AI manages the AE.
-Warfare is changed into a initiative system were the winner of important battles will have time to push and siege while the loser’s army will need to rest and get the morale back during many months. Battles last longer and armies are faster so expect big and meaningful battles. And I mean it, I’ve had some 1M vs 1M and so on. If/When you reach the endgame expect around 5 BIG empires dominating the world.
-The battle width is now 20 and there are no tactics. I don’t like them at the moment. Watch this suggestion I made on pdx forum https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/suggestion-for-a-new-tactics-system.1254041/
I also remade the UI to match this.
-Sieges now take 28 days per phase instead of 30, also 14 instead of 15 without a fort and the fort flipping time is 360 days. Also days before retreat are now 10 instead of 5
-Changes to Mercenaries:
Costs 5 Military Experience to hire Mercs but Mercenary Reliance is still the same
133% upkeep. Seems low but keep in mind the disband. Once you try the mod you’ll see it is balanced.
Fewer Mercenary armies overall
Smaller stacks (decreased pop grow scale)
This changes are in my opinion enough to balance mercenaries, making them useful when in dire need but not spammable and annoying.
-Aggresive Expansion and War exhaustion are more lenient and the cost of demanding territories reduced.
All of this makes for longer and meaningful wars. No more 10 wars to annex a country.
-Opinions and diplomacy tweaked a bit to match the overall feel for the gameplay.
-End date set to 10.000 so yeah play as long as you want.
For everything else, which is quite a bit, I recommend you to go into the files and see what is changed or even better play the mod. Thank you 😀
