thanks for the reply, its really good anyways. will try Mos Maiorum when i finish the Phyrus campaign i took a look and it didnt seem to work well with the scenario

Vae Victis mod increases AI agressiveness for all difficulty levels, but other then that these mods are not dependent on difficulty.

playing this with AEEPV++++++ and more veteran ai and can i just say it makes the Phyrus campaign gruelling as it should be so thank you very much. Just wanted to ask if normal, expert, casual does anything now with this combination of mods. i restarted a game and forgot to change difficulty and didnt feel much of a difference

@Knochenkalle: fyi the multiple scout spawn issue in the "bug correction for trapped units" mod should be fixed now

O.k. regarding your wood issue I have now made it that whenever you caputre a city etc. 25%-75% of wood/food stored inside will be lost (think of it as pillaging by the army or the locals, or what you need to rebuild the bruised city)

Hey Knochenkalle, I've now taken some time to look into this and made some improvements to the newly spawned scouts in the "Bug correction for Traped Units" mod. However I couldn#t replicate the multile spwaning and it didn't make a difference for me if I had one city or more. If there's anything else you notice under which conditions it happens, then that might give me another idea what to look out for.

If i may, i just came up with a mod request.
Is it possible to make all raidercamps spawn on a new game?

Regarding my wood problem.
I changed A.E.P.V.+ to A.E.P.V. and enemy cities are still full with wood and food, but now in lesser developed cities. So i guess ill try A.E.P.V.++ now. (Yes, i thought the 1:5 scale is the problem, but maybe its not)
Maybe its because the first nations i conquer only have 2 cities, so their resources get distributed over fewer cities and when i get to Lucani and Dauni, or bigger nations it will be better...(playing as Messappi)

I'll start a new game with A.E.P.V.++ and without "Bug Correction for Trapped Units" and play a bit further up the boot. I hope it works, the wood thing is my last obstical to have this game difficult.

Heya.

Yeah, the "Bug Correction for Trapped Units", im using that.
Its like the scouts pop out of thin air. They are already fully recruited. When i delete them, the city has extra recruits. It never happens at the start of the game, but the further i progress, the more scouts apear in a city after one got killed. Seemingly one scout for every city i posess but not sure... And they never have the city as lastname, they are all just called "Scouts". But they have no problem leaving the cities...(I remember that bug btw, thats gone)

Hi KnochenKalle and thanks for kind words!

Re the wood abundance i don't think this mod has anything to do with it and AEPV gives the AI only wood if it actually needs it. Determining this is is done by a base game script, which might of course not work correctly in some circumstances but that's just a big maybe.

Re the duplicate scouts: it shouldn't have to do with this mod. But there's a small bug in the base game, where a killed scout can't leave his city after respawning. I tried to fix this with my little mod "Unit Trapped Bug" - so if you're also using this, then I would look into it, if it's responsible for this behaviour.

Scratch the wood part. I just realized, im playin with one of your other mods: A.E.P.V.+ | The AI Cheats (Even More)

That could explain the abundance of wood in enemy storages. ill see to it

So for now, just take my thanks. gud mod

I think i discovered a bug. Im not sure if its your mod, but i never had this before:
When one of my scouts gets killed, he doesnt just spawn at his city, he also gets duplicated 3 to 10 times. You cant miss it, because the game tells you 3 to 10 times that your scout was killed, with text and sound notification, hence the duplications in the city.

Thats it so far.

Thank you very much for your work and contribution, Canute. Its seriously a blast that you keep this game replayable. For me, this game is a bit of a hatelove. Once in 1-2 years i have to play this game until im fed up again. Its the repitition that kills me after some time... But your mods make it a bit better every time. This one really saved me, so thank you for that.

For what is accomplishable, no haste.

Hey Canute, after one and a half years im back at this game again and i got to test this mod.

I can definitely feel its presence, im not swimming in food or gold anymore. Here, the difficulty feels good.
But im still drowning in wood as soon as i capture enemy cities. Everyone is full, the enemy doesnt seem to know what to do with it.
May i suggest in somewhat halfing the wood production and/or giving it a seasonal effect.

Actually, the seasonal effect could be on pretty much everything, from production to recruits slightly more or less (what ever makes sence)

Yes, there is! You need to use the console (F2) and then the "setattribute" command. E.g. select the general and then type into the console getselected():setattribute("meleedamage", 1, mult) and your general will have 100% melee damage. You can read this up on the wiki [hegemony.fandom.com], there's also a list of available attributes.

This is a bit unorthodox here, but i didnt want to friend you just for asking this. Is there a way to change the skills of generals i acquire threw the game? I tend to saveload a lot when i get useless generals...

@SGZ: I've added the percentage modifiers that I have applied.

@KnochKalle: as these are all basic game settings in the globals.xnt, they apply equally to player and AI.

Nice Canute. What sort of % effects are we talking about ?

Looks interessting. I already play with recruitment rate and skill research at x0.5 and city growth at x1. But the AI seems to get these mali aswell. Ill give it a try.
