Levies Mod – Giant Kings Update
[Mod by Bagas/Coll1, I (Maal) simply uploaded it to the workshop in his stead]
The Levies Mod focus in reintroducing the concept of Quantity and chaff to AoW4 by including a new Resource called "Levies", leverage the power of food and a few key archetypes to break the 6 stack limits and overpower your enemies with numbers.
By adding new Army Enchantments cast with Levies, and a focus on Tome of the Horde, Feudal Culture and the Necromancy Line, we can fulfil their proper Design Fantasy of a vast and endless army.
For now i’m releasing this version with some quirks attached to it, as the mod is very much a proof of concept on how we could reintroduce chaff to the game, so please try it out and keep the feedback coming, if it turns out to be a good idea, i can possibly extend the functionality to more units types or tomes.
• The spells are one use per stack only, however there are a small unintended interaction with shuffling units included to help the AI use the spells (The AI seem to not abuse it, but i’m looking for a way to fix it in a way that does not hurt the AI)
• Sometimes the units will die during spawn if there is not enough free terrain nearby.
• Levies can be earned with the Levy Camp, Mob Camp and a new structure available after building the Town Hall.
• The AI will use the new spells according to difficulty level, personality type and turn count, expect to find your decisive battles having way more units now (Can your PC handle it? Lol).

This mod is a proof of concept to try and "break" the hard-coded 6 stack limits using non-standard ways to get free units during battle.
