Description:
This mod changes how siege works in significant ways. Recommended to use with a mod that increases difficulty.

This mod is a STAND ALONE submod for Alarayn’s Tier 4 Minor Settlments Mod, please make sure this mod is ordered BELOW the Tier 4 Minor Settlements mod in mod manager. Access the original mod Here (not required)

This mod aims to improve vanilla WH3 and IE experience. A separate mod that modifies only the siege AI & ogre siege equipment has been published!

**** SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE ****

Why I created this mod:

I hate it that AI factions starve the siege defenders to death 9 times out of 10.
I hate it that players are forced to play the offensive in siege battles time and time again.

What this mod does:

  • AI will more often attack walled/minor settlements rather than starving defenders to death.
  • Defensive buildings provide huge protection against siege attrition; also provide small public order bonus, ammunition bonus (during siege battles) and upkeep reduction (local army).
  • Players and AI factions cannot build towers and barricades after the battle begins. Initial supply (including buildings, technologies, effects) increases by a lot to compensate. (inspired by fraggenburg’s mod)
  • Losing control of the key building no longer bleeds ticket (victory point), add a 15% missile block buff to key building’s buff, add a stronger speed debuff to traps.
  • Greatly increase health of city gates, increase health for towers, defensive barricades and walls, increase health for siege towers and ram, increase attack power of ram.
  • Siege equipment can be built more quickly.
  • Enable unused models for higher tier towers.
  • Level 1 and 2 minor settlement battles will be skirmishes, except for Dwarven and Bretonnian Level 2 minor settlements. Level 3 and 4 Bretonnian minor settlements now have walls. Level 3 minor settlement defense buildings now grant walls to the settlement.

Let me know if you encounter any bug or have suggestions for improvement/balancing!
