Total Rebalance III" - offers the latest rebalance revision of Rome Remastered

About the balance changes

Total Rebalance III differs from the other Total Rebalance editions (that already changes attack and defense stats), in adjusting unit sizes, hitpoints, stamina, speed and recruitment times based on how "powerful" the unit is. (i.e. which tier it belongs to)
All changes below are to make game as realistic as possible, as, for example, lower tier units should be cheaper, more easily massed, and stamina wise should endure longer than armored units (armor is heavy).
Low tier infantry is therefore always useful.
Hoplites now are stronger in the front, weak in the back, and while cavalry should be very effective by charging in the rear, cavalry availability is reduced as much as possible gameplay wise.

Unit sizes:
  • 240 - Low tier archers
  • 200 - Low tier spearmen, skirms, slingers
  • 160 -Mid tier units such as armorless swordsmen, improved skirmishers / archers, low tier hoplites
  • 120 - High tier units such armored or well shielded units
  • 48-100 - Elite tier units such as well armored units or units with high hit points, including General's Bodyguard on foot
  • 48-64 - Low tier cavalry (note: scythians get more)
  • 36 - High tier cavalry and Generals

Hit points:
  • 2 - All infantry with some exceptions (i.e. General's Bodyguard and some elite units such as Spartans, Berserkers)
  • 3 - Elite "heroic" units such as Spartans, Berserkers, Bastarnae, Sacred Band etc.
  • 4 - General's Bodyguard Infantry
  • 5 - Most cavalry, except Cataphract and General's Bodyguard.
  • 6 - General's Bodyguard Cavalry
  • 10 - Cataphract

Stamina and speed:
  • High stamina, fast speed - Non- or lightly armored troops, both cavalry and infantry
  • High stamina, slow speed - General's Bodyguard on foot
  • Low stamina, fast speed - Axe- and Falxmen
  • Low stamina, slow speed - Generals's Bodyguard on horseback, armored cavalry and infantry

Recruitment turns
  • 1 turn - Low / mid tier infantry
  • 2 turns - Higher tier infantry, all cavalry, onagers
  • 3 turns - Elephants
  • 4 turns - General Bodyguard

Additionaly:
  • Hoplites are now strong from the front, but very weak from the rear
  • Skirmishers, archers and slingers do tremendous damage from the side and rear or upon the front of uncovered units.
  • Cavalry charges from the rear wreck units very effectively.
  • Spear wielding cavalry do additional damage to cavalry.
  • Axe and Falx wielding infantry charge powerfully and do pierce damage however there defense is lower and they tire more easily
  • High tier melee swords, slingers, spear- and axe thrown projectiles also do pierce damage.

Note also:
  • There is more time for tactical manouvering such as outflanking due to fights from the front being less effective.
  • Well armored troops are very powerful, they tire more easily and can't outrun less armored troops, in addition to being harder and more expensive to recruit, so time their use wisely.
  • Cavalry is very powerful and can charge effectively and even bash through units, but their low unit count makes them easier to lose.
  • The most effective way to win is to keep the enemy engaged at the front, and buy time to outflank the enemy in the rear or sides.
  • Remember, Spearmen beat Cavalry beat Swordsmen beat Spearman.
    Ranged units beat Infantry (outflanked), Cavalry beat ranged units.
    Axemen beat Heavier Infantry (unit count wise), Light Infantry beat axemen (if outnumbered)

Yes, you are right. This is a very basic map. I am used to the more detailed maps in Glory of Rome, 270 BC, Barbarians, or similar mods. More cities in southern Italy would also be nice, prolonging the fights in Italy somewhat. Many of the Rome players would like that.
My experience with other mods is, that there are often too many factions. In that case the AI becomes less active and the mid-games are tedious. It may have something to do with the computer's memory, but I am not a computer specialist. I hope you can avoid too many factions in your mod.
I was starting the Claudii M/M - witch is too easy. Will start again at my usual H/H and try to give you some feedback.

Hi Fridericus,

Thanks for explaining, now I understand!

Yeah I didn't design the map by the way, I took the base Europa 270 BC map as a base, and adjusted things based on that, but I didn't touch geometry or added/ removed mountains or lakes (not my expertise).

Thanks for your feedback!

Hello JonkoXL, thank you for the fast reply.
I have other mods on the computer and downloaded yours just yesterday, but others are not connected, of course. I have changed nothing on your mod.
Only 3 cities in Southern Italy was a change when compared to other mods. The mountains on this map, particularly in southern Italy, do not look like mountains, they look more like hills.
I guess, I have to get use to it. There are no lakes in Italy on this map, missing Lake Trasinore (spelling?). A couple more cities in Italy would probably keep the play in Italy a little bit longer.
Your mod works fine. It's just that the map is not the most attractive and not so detailed. You did a fantastic job on this mod.
JonkoXL  [author] 25 Oct @ 4:27am 
Hi there Fredericus.

Your reply is a bit confusing to me :D
Are you maybe running other mods alongside this mod?

I assume you do see mountains and lakes? They should be there?
There are a few chokepoints on the maps but maybe a bit less than vanilla.
What do you mean very few cities? There are over 300 if I recall on the full map?
Depending on the campaign there are more or less cities that are originally possessed by rebels.
Para Bellum and Midgame campaign should already have the least amount of rebel settlements.
Fridericus 24 Oct @ 4:27pm 
This mod is fantastic! Reminds me of the historical Roman situation at 250BC. Units are excellent. Income appropriate.
However, the major drawback is the plain map, without mountain or lakes, missing mountain passes to block, and very few cities. Only good for someone who likes battles after battles on open fields. Few more factions to replace the many inactive rebels would make this mod perfect. This is not a criticism, just my opinion!!!

Hi Bengarnham,

Thanks for your comment.

You could try out the following submod to play with four different factions (replaced though, not added):
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3489852338

Note however that other map mods are not compatible with my mod, not due to me not wanting it, but because game data and maps are intertwined in this mod.
I may add a Unified Rome campaign to that Refactioned mod someday as it has been requested a few times.
bengarnham 27 Jun @ 12:03pm 
is there any mod that can add additional factions. The different modes look quality but the map just looks a bit too empty for me to get into. Would love a sub mod or something that makes a unified rome and adds in another 5-10 factions just to fill the map out.
JonkoXL  [author] 15 Jun @ 2:52am 
Thank you Zarzar!

I also just included the Spartan Hoplite Texture in this Rebundled mod, so either Rebundled or Refactioned will let you play with them.

Enjoy your game!
Darth ZarZax 14 Jun @ 7:57pm 
hey JonkoXL, can't thank you enough for the additions, you are great!
JonkoXL  [author] 14 Jun @ 8:23am 
Hi ZarZax,

I just changed the textures for the Spartan Hoplite and Spartan Bodyguard unit.
For unit variation, I applied three different "helmet hair" colors, red black and gold.
I uploaded it first to the Refactioned DLC, please check it out there, I hope you like it.

I don't plan on including the other hoplite unit (Silver Shield?) though.
Probably tomorrow I will apply the Spartan Hoplite changes to this Rebundled as well
