ShatrasGamePlayMod2

the divisions have to be recreated !ONCE! for every single new mod. they are saved separate and you can switch to your vanilla or other mods safely back without losing any of them

if you want to play mostly army general with mods, you have to know, that every single update (vanilla ones too) will break your savefiles! (except skirmish saves etc!!!) you can get around it if you make a backup from the mod folder every time you start a army general game and copy those files back when a mod update arrives:

for additonal Army General gameplay changes, you have to use my Redux, Redux Extreme or Redux Overkill Mod Versions!!!

it`s a gameplay mod with some minor realism tweaks and not a 100% accurate realism mod

if you like my mod and want to support me, give a thumb up and/or add it to your favorites. thanks!

what this mod changes so far (not all changes are listed):

– deck rework (includes all DLC divisions too) & 70 deck activationpoints (its recommended to use selfmade decks, because the vanilla premade decks are not optimized with the new deck rules)
– additional division economics
– Phase B starts after 15 min & Phase C after 30 min
– greatly extended duration for breakthrough & conquest
– speed for vehicle/tanks resembles more RL values (much slower gameplay)
– supply units have +100% more capacity, infantry can be reinforced
– higher artillery dispersion (+25% more dispersion) & longer radio spotter range (2km)
– gamespeed changes: slow: 0.5, normal: 0.75, fast: 1.0 & very fast: 3.0 (vanilla: 0.33, 1.0, 2.0 & 3.0) all games (even mp/coop) will start on 1.0 gamespeed, which is now on the fast button!
– edited AI to be more efficient and aggressiv
– reworked armor penetration
– aircrafts are +15% more resistant & get an evasive buff for each veteran level
– infantry gets a 15%/25%/35% damage resistance buff for each veteran level
– buildings have more hp & infantry is better covered
– glow for units in buildings or behind cover is deactivated
– longer duration for fire & smoke
– reworked veteran levels

Some AI & gameplay facts:

implemented as a feature from devs, to be closer to how a human would react in a online match or even a real battle, it targets the position of your !firing! artillery even if it has no sight contact or recon unit near (moving those units a bit away after firing is recommended). the ai has a remembrance! if it spots units only for !one second!, it will remember their exact last seen position for several minutes up to an hour. if it has no actionspoints left for an artillery or airstrike in that moment, the attack can follow several minutes later even! the ai is capable to fire on positions, it believes you have units stationed! i have sometimes watched the ai attacking positions on my territory, where a good position was for my artillery/pak/aaa, but there havent ever been any of my units during the battle. most underestimate the stealth abillity of infantry recon units too. without a counter recon unit to spot them, normal units have to be sometimes 100-50m close to spot them. recon units dont effect the frontline system and they can sneak past your lines. recon units on hills/high buildings (like churches) can spot units further away and over close forests. all those factors lead most to the misunderstanding the AI is omnipotent. last but not least: the ai knows, how important support trucks are and prioritize them above everything else. supply units are very fragile and mostly explode during supplying other units by arty dispersion as a collateral damage
