3x Kost Kill Spam Infantry NSB

Description
3x Kost Kill Spam INF NSB mod (No Step Back) and later compatible
(you do not need NSB, only patch V1.11 aka "Barbarossa or later).

This mod affects INFANTRY UNITS ONLY

Brute force method to decrease amount of "spam," that is from the huge amount of INFANTRY UNITS the game produces by mid to late game. By increasing $KOSTS$ of infantry units (while compensating with suitable stat increases), there can only be 1/3rd less produced of said units which contributes to game performance and makes the game more manageable by having less Infantry units in general.

To compensate the increased $KOSTS$ in regards to the other unaffected, non infantry units in the game, certain stats HP have been also increased proportionally to reflect a 3x larger infantry unit rather than 3 smaller ones.

This means player and AI will need 3x the ICs, resources, equipment, and manpower to construct infantry units throughout the game. Though, more expensive, Infantry units are stronger. Division strength should top out around 200 -250 ground units .


Infantry now requires:
- 3x manpower
- 3x equipment (infantry equipment, support, motorized, etc. which means 3x steel, ICs and so forth needed for production)
- 3x weight

Stats affected:
-3x suppression (Ability to suppress local resistance since more soldiers involved)
4x max_strength (3x plus extra 1x misc bonus*) (Strength represents hitpoints (HP) how much damage this unit can suffer before it is destroyed)

Other stats are unchanged; abstractly compensated for by the 4x max strength (HP)

--------------------------------------------------------------

-earlier versions before "No Step Back" 1.11 of the game likely NOT compatible
-Other Mods Not Tested, should work with any No Step Back compatible mod that does not change / add Infantry found in common/units/infantry.txt

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An alternate way of tackling the issue:

THANOS 1/5th POPgrowth https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794469914
THANOS 1/8th POPgrowth https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2797096863
THANOS 1/15th POPgrowth https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2797096959


Manpower growth is reduced to 1/5th to 1/15th normal rates affecting ANYTHING that uses manpower meaning LESS division spam!
No other stats changed!

Your mods already appear as updated, sorry for the trouble and thanks for keeping them updated.

ANY will prevent spam, depends on how severe reduction you wish to go.
(activate only ONE of these mods at a time, though you can subscribe to all)

3x Kost Kill Spam Infantry NSB = changes stats of infantry, (because more 3xsoldiers involved compaired to other units, stat changes may be undesirable for some players).

THANOS POPgrowth limits manpower generation, (1/5th , 1/8th 1/15)

THANOS 1/5th probably most similar to 3x Kost, start with that.
if you want even LESS spam, use 1/8th or 1/15.

To test without a play commitment activate one of the mods, run AI vs AI overnight fast speed 4 or 5 (console~ type observe enter, ~ close console) using one of the mods and then in 1950s, go back into the game and see how it responds to you working the map, making selections etc.

If you want to jump in without testing, I suggest THANOS POPgrowth limits 1/5th.

What do you recommend to prevent division spam, using one of the three new mods or is just one enough?
