@feanor3791 I will be releasing an older more historically less anti western bias version of his mods soon, we should talk more in private tho if you would like.

@feanor3791 message me

@feanor3791 I suggest you carefully review my MOD description. I've clearly stated that Western Lancers rely on mass impact damage,Lancers depend on charge bonus for damage output, while Cataphracts excel in melee combat. Let me make this clear: horse mass is the decisive factor in my MOD ecosystem. Charge bonus is secondary.
Units with mass advantage will achieve absolute dominance in head-on charges. Western Lancers and Cataphracts can overwhelm regular Lancers under any circumstances, whereas the latter only stand a chance when using duel skills or ambush tactics.
Regarding your comment about Eastern units having higher melee stats - this again proves you didn't read my "Realism Series Overhaul" description. In my MOD framework, melee stats are exclusively tied to unit tier/eliteness, with zero correlation to Eastern or Western origins - that's simply unfounded. In fact, this is a matter of balance—dueling skills or strength.

I just had a look through the land_units table after wondering why my French knights were performing so poorly against frigging bedouin horsemen. You've got all the light desert and steppe lancers, Mongols and Muslims, equal to or better than Western knights in charge and melee. If one thing is consistent across historical sources, both Western and Eastern, it's how devastating the European knights were against the lighter Eastern forces.

@Mingles I will soon be doing an overhaul for the Knight Order units; along with an infantry framework overhaul (new health and mass systems); once I finish that, I'll move on to my naval mod.

how many more updates are you planning on doing?

@EARL I really like how you made armour a multiplier, you are doing amazing with all this work :O :)

I really feel that it's completely changed beyond recognition.

@Mingles Go check the update notes.

im just curious im going through all your data, why do you spell "cataphract" with an I in it instead of an A so you spell it Cataphrict, you do a bunch of very odd things which im just not sure why, wondering if you had some answers was all, thanks for the hard work!

what did you balance?

@Swirly_Skyshock_11 Fixed,thanks for the feedback

Hey, just letting you know there’s a small bug in the Cavalry Animation “rome_man_destrier_lance_knight” where the Units sometimes stands up (on their horse) and stares down menacingly. It’s quite funny but certainly immersion ruining.

I hope you feel better soon. Prayers to you.

man, whatever you're going through, it's gonna be okay.!! i have to say that your mods have brought me a lot of joy and made me play this game again and actually enjoy it, something i have honestly not felt in a long time. having said that, my game crashes when loading a save

@EARL 辛苦啦，不用太在意个别评论，大过节的发布更新，我们体会到你的良苦用心。

Just so you know, I could've ended my work without updating the 2x version. But I still stayed up until early morning to finish it—all so you could launch the game properly. These months have taken a real toll on me physically. Please don’t just think about yourselves—I wasn’t obligated to do this.especially for this kind of optional feature patch.

@Mingles About a week. I'll be back then.

@Mingles That mod was just casually updated to ensure it can launch normally. For now, just use it as it is. Personally, I don’t really recommend using the 2X version due to its imbalance. I’ve been working at high intensity for several months for this major update and need to take a few days off.

@Mingles Make sure all MODs are updated - check in the folder, at least the three Realistic Overhaul series must be up-to-date.

game wont load even with just your mods enabled, please take a look.

okay so you are saying they would conflict, got it.

@Mingles You might have misunderstood, horse allocation is a fixed mechanism and cannot beupgraded.

where horse upgrades added to appropriate buildings with this update for all cultures ?

Can you make a submod that removes unit caps for custom battles at least?

This rules, ty

I am having an issue where the base game ritter are greyed out and I cannot recruit them, only the banneret version.

大佬太强了，Make the Cavalry Great Again

@EARL I have posted a discussion here with one weird bug with Abbasid units, can you please take a look?

@EARL大佬，现在战马不能正面冲击长柄武器/长矛编队，在他们前面会停下，是削弱了吗。

@maslov1208 Incompatible with other mods that alter battle.

Is it possible to adapt this mod so that formations work in motion? Otherwise, there is a mod conflict, and the maneuverable turtle becomes stationary.

hello, i need some advice here: is there any way to recruit these abbsaid caliphate units : zamburakchi, caliph al-bunduqiyyah, cannon cameleer, zamburak cameller? i unlocked every tech, build every kind of recruitment building, still can't find these units in the rooster

I don't know if it's a bug, or if it's intended, but comparing the health of units of say bulgaria and hungary i noticed substantial differences in health. Pavise spears tier 3 units of hungary have 100 more health than ones in bulgaria (222 vs 145 respectively). It's similar situation across the board with inf/cav. I think it's because 1212ad devs didn't make a single unit in bulgarian army comp very heavy, so with the calculation of mass and health it introduced such discrepancy in stats. Other factions are likely affected. Can I ask you to check for similar discrepancies and if you plan to make adjustments to improve the balance?

Additionally there are some units that cannot be recruited on the campaign map (for Bulgaria). The units are: Free Company Men At Arms(Early), Reisige Soldknechte(Late), Lanze Spezzarte(Late). Can you make them recruitable on the campaign map?

Thanks for all of your effort and time spent developing your mods!

COOL MOD!
but Golden Horde and Cuman barded horses are buggy. Can u guys please make an update about it?

@MaxCrow I am planning the next version of the cavalry overhaul, and these skimmish cavalries may be improved in the next version

Hello @EARL, I think there's something to be changed in MK1212: fast skirmish cavalry can't skirmish against heavy shock cavalry. I tested it many times and the result is that, somehow, the charge speed of heavy shock cav makes it faster than light skirmish cavalry, so these units are almost useless.

@maslov1208 Perhaps you can provide me with the URL of your Russian language pack so that I can give it a try

@maslov1208 Regarding crashes: I cannot personally fix this issue since my development environment is English-only and I cannot reproduce your specific crashes.

Вылетает во время битвы. Тут уже наш русификатор, какой то патч выпускал. Теперь не надо оригинальные скрипты отключать, но все равно, как только ты начинаешь выигрывать битвы в тяжелых условиях просходит гребаный вылет

Hey Earl,

Great mod. I agree with Srblex that something feels and looks off with the cavalry "full sprint" ability. I think that cavalry plays far better with this mod and I am happy to use it.. I think the biggest issue is their acceleration is too high, when they turn corners or start their charge the change in speed is what is causing it to look off. I think you may be able to fix some of the visual issues of cavalry with that rather than modifying the overall speed.

what was updated today

Во время сражения вылетать начало

Когда пробуешь сменить стрелы, игра вылетает.

@Brunetkin @FeenrirRR I recently implemented a portion of my stamina system, causing units to consume stamina differently based on armor weight. For example: light cavalry can sprint without stamina drain, while heavy cavalry may exhaust themselves rapidly – demanding greater stamina management skills from players. The full stamina system is currently being fine-tuned and will initially release as a standalone module. In the current mod version, only the varying stamina recovery rates across units are active.I will take into account the situation you mentioned. And try to do some optimization

@SrbLeX Hello, I will consider your suggestion after testing, but I have made this setting to balance gameplay, allowing cavalry to leave the battlefield like nitrogen acceleration or quickly enter the optimal charging state. This is cool.
