Three Dukedoms
Three Dukedoms is an complete overhaul focusing on visceral combat, aiming to make the battles feel more like battles, moving away from rock-paper-scissors style balancing with clear unit counters where matchups are the deciding factor and towards representing how a unit performs on the battlefield. This completely changes the way battles feel, making them massive, bloody affairs for both Records and Romance modes. It aims for a different feel of game, keeping many of the principles of my previous overhauls, The End Times for TWW2 and Prelude to War for ETW.
Larger unit sizes, complete rebalancing of morale and fatigue, campaign tweaks and hp scaling as well as unit stats, collision recalculations, shield and armour adjustment and unit spacings, among many other changes, gives combat a completely different feel.
Ranged units have had their performance changed radically, they can no longer adjust velocity to hit anywhere in their arc of fire and can only hit if the physics allows, which has also been adjusted with faster projectiles that are now affected by gravity.
Cavalry units no longer dominate the battlefield, but their mobility is incredibly useful in the morale game, light horse are widely spaced and can hold out for longer to screen forces, while heavy horse ride flank to flank for punishing charges.
Combat ai tweaked to change how the ai treats certain units and also more generally to improve its performance.
More changes will no doubt come as the mod evolves and becomes more expanded in scope.
