Submod and stand alone version of "Radious – Very Hard Campiagn Overhaul"
Save game compatible
This is a different version of "Better Autoresolve" by Minos and "Less Reliable Autoresolve" by Magnar. I have edited exactly same tables but the stats are adjusted to the the needs of "Very Hard Campaign Overhaul" project. You don’t need this mod if you are already subscribed to that overhaul.
It gives you slightly less predictable outcomes and battles are bloody. I have tried to make this as fair as possible for AI and player. I am not 100% sure but it may influence AI decisions about whether to attack, bring more reinforcements or hide. In my opinion the outcomes are more realistic than in vanila and it gives a breathing space for player as well as for AI because armies needs to recover even after winning battles. Other submod "AI" makes it much smarter and aggressive so that breathing space is needed. I really hated in vanilla when one stack of army could jump around and destroy everything around without many losses. It is still possible with this mod but you’d need few more stacks to ensure massive advantage.
credits should go to Minos as I would not be able to even guess where those tables are and how to change them. He probably have done countless hours of testing for this as it is very delicate and very responsive table. Please let me know what you think in the comments after allowing at least 20/30 battles. Different overhauls will give different results because AI’s army compositions will have an impact of the results.
My advice is to always choose balanced battle stance. Aggressive and protective stances are very very tricky and works only in some circumstances. For example Protective stance would make sense if your army could retreat after defeat to near settlement, otherwise AI would just follow and destroy what’s left of your army. Aggressive seems to work when you have numbers or more powerful units but this can lead to defeat if the numbers are not much greater than your opponents.
