Insanely useful mod. The default garrison amounts, combined with how the AI just loves to park it's armies in a single settlement and do nothing for multiple turns on end has always been one of the worst aspects of total war rome 2

Yangbang, I just started the greatest noble migration ever seen. Full stacks of first class tier infantry recruited for 40 gold by stacking all the recruitment bonus. Disband them all in a small village with first class growth boost buildings like temples and colonia, give it two turns and you'll get 2000 new nobles per day. Redistribute these nobles to the newly conquered territories and you'll never have to deal with a shortage of nobles ever again. ;)

honestly the best submod right now. The garrison grinding mixed with the population system has been soul crushing. thank you for the mod.

Thank you, this works great. I placed above the 3 x DEI mods.

Yeah maybe you can add a +1 for minor settlemnts and +2 for provincial capitals (and to balance out remove the extra units from agora and upgrades). Also, major cities and ports like Roma, Athens, Carthago can have +2

I like this mod but now the Pirates are brutal. They will sail up and down Italy taking settlements at will

This works without any problem on the Grand Campaign for me. This mod needs to be placed above DeI 3 main parts.

Also I think that yes, on the first turn only, the settlements are not yet updated, but after the second turn verything correct itself.

Unfortunately it is not working with DeI 1.3. I am encountering small settlements with 11 garrison units on the first turn.

Hi, does it compatible with DeI 1.3 ?

you really need to pay attention to increased garrisons from various buildings with this mod, as well as ensure you have frontier legions that can respond locally to any need for increased troops, mainly these can be cheaper auxiliaries and local troops who only need to hold the line long enough for the main legions to move in from their forward bases. I really love how challenging this mod makes the game, if you're really worried about having a large garrison you can build up your city to ensure that, but like all other strategy its this or that...

Is there a way to adjust this mod so it is a 25% or so reduction like others are saying. Definitely agree with the concept though.

Seems not to work with the DEI Realism submod. Would be great if you could make it compatible.

there seems to be an extreme to the other side now with this mod - cities going from 18/20 unit garrisons to 4/5 even with military barracks? It seems more than a 50% reduction

Great concept and mod, thank you for sharing your creativity with us.

Hi, TY for your mod. I can play with DEI now. Early attack is pretty impossible with 20 stack garnisson and army in the city .
There is a way to tweak your submod ?

50 -> 25 % reduction
Reduction only for city ?

Great mod, but the barracks should provide more garrison units just like the shipyards and the military wharfs, because ii is expected that a settlement with military barracks would be better defended.

can you make a 25% reduction version of this mod ??? 12 to 4 for me its a too big of a diferrence xD

Is this mod compatible with the latest version of DEI?

this is a good mod, helps a lot taking into account DEI`s mechanics, because you meet a lot of enemy armies and you replenish slower than in vanilla and in the opposite side your garrisons even large can`t help in defence

Still works with 1.2.7

As I've mentioned in the description, if you use it with an existing campaign, you have to end the current turn before the changes effect.

This needs an update--doesn't work.

doesnt work

Hello Yaxl3y, I was just wondering if you would please make a mod increasing the garrison by double the amount from the original default, reason for that id because I play with 41 unit stack armies rather then the original 20, so 41 units vs 4 garrisoned units is just way OP, please let me know if you would be able to help.

good mod for dei!!

With this simple mod, you just made Rome 2 DEI enjoyable again. I love you dude. <3

Great job, works flawlessly. Does just what it says on the tin, which is a welcome change, making field armies more important. Having to fight the same garrison full stacks over and over again was a bit of a grind tbh.
