thx

So is there no proper AI army recruitment left? It's bad enough that Better AI 2 is outdated as well. Plz update if you have the chance.

same

Dear M I N O S !!!
Will you update this and other your mods?
I used to enjoy playing with your mods for a long time!

update man your was one of the best

@ JOK3R :

1. The Mod is outdated.
2. What the Ai recruits depends also on it's Buildings, as there are Limitations.
3. Doeent work correctly if using Overhaul Mods or Mods adding several new Units.

ive been using your mod for two months now , used too work great at beginning , then slowly started too fail , i now fight vampire coast armys of pure Bloated Corpses and handcannons and hand gunners , high elves are always the same , make you not want too play with the mass archer spam , like sister of avalorn and half armys of seagaurds , and the dark elves , with the current meta with cult of pleasure invadeing high elf homeland early game , the spam of darkshades ontop of her war hydra and with elves at turn 20 is not very fun , had lots of fun with this mod , but also alot of angry moments

@✠ M I N O S ✠ I see. Thank you for the quick answer!

@ Dwight Schrute :

Will work, but not as intended, as some of the new Units and Heroes will be recruited out of Order.

Would this still "work" or will it break the game?

Minos does this allow the ai to recruit from custom unit packs? or is it just vanilla units?

Thanks for the heads up Minos!

would it still work while outdated though?

Outdated. I'll report when it's updated.

It still works?

still works?

is it updated?

Does this mod work with tabletop unit caps mod?

any update required?

@heavystorm Using this in conjunction with a unit cap mod will put a permanent end to doomstacks in your game. Tabletop caps and cost based army caps are the popular options. I play with this mod and usually tabletop caps. Works perfectly.

@✠ M I N O S ✠
I was talking about some characteristic lords like faction leader of Varg-Surtha Ek and faction leader of Tiranoc-Surthara Bel-Kec. They start with chariot mount and tend to recruit more than 10 chariots per army even if they have barracks available.

I like using 10x chaos waves mods for challenge but some of their armies have 8+ hellcannons from the respawn and its really frustrating to deal with. From what i understand your explanation, you fixed that right?

@ heavystorm :

This can happen because of 2 Things:

- wrong Buildings of AI
- Global Recruitment of AI

Also, due to the Nature of the System, Numbers are valued more than Categories by the AI.
So a Hellcannon has for Example Quality of 15, a Marauder 5.
Artillery Category is capped to 1-2 per Category, but its told that it has 3 Times more Priority than the Marauder - so the System jerks around...
If the AI could instead create Chosen instead of Marauders, it would be balanced, because Chosen have a Quality of 20 and therefore 15 compared to 20 is failry balanced and the Category System works again.

Did you change norsca chariot and horse archer spam? They're annoying af. Also will i see 8 hell cannon in chaos armies or you changed that too?

I have deactivated them because of the Problems.

Alith Anar has no specific Table.

when did they deactivated that?
i see so is a general or generating more problems with that good to know.
right now i have ai Alith Anar with 7 dragons only 2 shadows i know shadows are no good in late game but still

@ V ! P :

Specific Legendary Lords Compilations made by CA have been deactivated, as they cause Trouble with them, not recruiting their Armies to full, less than half, when they cant recruit those specific Units.
Putting the same Unit several Times into the Tables, even if set to 0, leads to even more Problems.
Only by creating own Templates it would give me the Option to specify and create perfect Templates for each Factions.
But that would make the Mod incompatible with most any additional Unit Mods, as those always use the Vanilla Templates to include their new Units.

if LL have unit flavor like Maliketh 50% blackguards, krok gar saurus,honed or normal lord DE faction with random trait like krakenclaw, grey vanquisher, u know traits who buff units.
do they recruit units of that tipe? so far on my campain i dont see that
idk if LL have uniqe skills or trait they should be focus on that unit to recruit 6 min max.
i can see in some case like HE dragon trait with 6 dragons be OP but hey is total war.

Side Effects:

Negative:
- Ai wont field completely elitary Armies, when it can anymore

Positive:
- AI saves Money and fields more Armies

Update:

- completely diverse Armies
- some Fixes
- should now be again compatible with every Unit Mod as it uses CA Ranges

Ill regularly update for whenever i find some Units to be made too much etc.

The Thing is, can only see this really in work on a Campaign.

Thanks MINOS! I hope that this will fix what CA should have already put into the game. Keep up the good work!

Awesome! thank you MINOS

nice

Update:

- much more diverse Unit Compilations !!!

- much better Ratio!!!

I have now very much fully understood the Army Creation of AI. and this lead me to a nicer balancing of Armies :)

MINOS you are a hero :)
Thank you.

Also the AI ignore most Parts of the Ratio - so i have to redo it, each Unit in each Faction one by one comparing to each other...

@ God Save the King :

Yes, i make a Mistake, will be fixed in the next Update - i mistake archer ror for the normal one.

Just came up against a Stirland army with 12 archer units ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and Teb

- reduced Missile Units for Kislev/Vampire Coast/Bretonnia/Empire

Do ai disband old units to recruit new and better ones once they have the better recruitment buildings? Since my lizard allies have been using an army full of only tier 1 skinks for about 50 turns and they have the ability to train dread saurians xD

Update:

- reduced Bloated Corpse Recruitment

I think you are right. They seem to be fine now. Thanks for your great mods : )

@ Handsome Pete :

Then they cant build in this Province anything else. - or you have somewhere a bad Mod,.

Empire factions seems to build a lot of bullshit atm. They have about 80% missles (archers). I will deactivate all other mods and will try it again tomorrow.

oh, also reduced the Ushabti probability, which are in fact in the infantry category, thats why you saw them a lot more than the tomb guards.

Update:

- raised 1 point priority the Infantry and lowered the Missile and Heroe Units

@ Mofunkles :

War Wagons are mostly switched for Steam Tanks and Luminarks.

@ Mofunkles :

I cant get the Dwarfs Heroe Generation really to work, its a Problem with it since last Year.
They only produce Engineers and ignore the Ghosts and if i add or reduce some, they totally bug out and dont even build full Armies anymore or no Heroes at all.
