Tabletop Caps: Reborn

This mod here is a reborn version of Tabletop Caps, the excellent mod from DrunkFlamingo. As DF has stepped away from modding, he's asked me to help maintain Tabletop Caps. You can look at the original mod here.

The mod will remain mostly to-form - it's unlikely I'll be making huge sweeping changes - but I may change design where it suits my preferences and try to slowly adapt the code to forms I'm more comfortable with using. My plan is to ensure functionality and improve quality of life before any gameplay-changing decisions, and any of those will be modifiable using MCT.

All existing TTC submods are "forward-compatible" to this version, and that will remain true unless I make breaking changes.

This mod adds army-level Unit Caps for all factions, inspired by the Warhammer Fantasy Battles Tabletop rules for army composition.

All units from the base game are assigned one of three categories: core, special, or rare. An army can have unlimited core units, while special or rare units are capped by the number of special or rare points available to each army. These delineations provide gameplay-driven restrictions on army design, which are applied to human and computer players in a campaign.

When the recruitment panel is open, you will be able to see the costs of each unit displayed on the unit cards, both for the unit options available to recruit and for the units already in your army, and the total and remaining special and rare points for that army.

The goal for the mod is that you will have to make some hard choices about which elite units you want to bring, and that both you and the AI will field no ‘doomstacks’, instead bringing balanced forces. The ultimate goal is that a much higher share of your battles will be interesting fights between two armies with reasonable compositions.

Core, special and rare distinctions are decided based on tabletop precedent and game balance. In cases where certain units diverge substantially from tabletop, they are balanced according to how they function in game, and are subject to change after heavy argument.

If you'd like to change the cost of various units, you can use this WH3 mod which adds an in-game editor to tweak TTC values for each unit.

You can find a full list of the current unit costs for tabletop caps on this website[ttc-costs.surge.sh] which was created by the illustrious bapplebo on the Modding Den.

All limits are enforced for the AI just like for humans - including Slaaneshi Devotee armies, Khorne army summons, rogue armies, and challenge armies. There are a few things in-game which ignore the caps values - such as quest battles.

You may use MCT to change a few settings - such as changing the amount of points available to an army, or to disable it for the AI.

If you've got a bug to report, a feature request to make, a balance tweak, or some other suggestion, please use the forms on this mod's GitHub Issues.[github.com] It's very hard to keep track of reports through Steam comments.

This mod should be compatible with all other mods. However, custom units added by other mods will be considered core (unlimited) units, unless the mod author specifically adds their units to the Tabletop Caps system. If you come across a unit mod that you’d like to work better with this mod, let me know and I’ll see if I can help the author set that up.

This mod should be compatible with multiplayer games in consecutive turns mode. Simultaneous turns mode should be fine too, in theory, but I haven’t tested it and it is very new, so consider yourself a beta tester if you’re taking this into a simultaneous turns MP game.

This mod has settings available in Groovy's Mod Configuration Tool.
