Hi Rob,
Thanks for the quick reply! Overall really love the mod, and I think it brings an important balance to the game. Now being realistic, what is the chance that you could put some of these options in the initial game setup options?
Would be amazing to be able to toggle the level of this. I'll be honest, with the current optionality of where (at least how it appears now), the vast majority of the value comes from the commander, it feels like its not about avoiding pitch battles, but rather courtier mating season to always hunt for the best commander, and you can then take on any sized armies almost. If I had the option to give more of an advantage to the value of the favor from the default ~(80% lets say when there is a 20 point advantage) but not necessarily 1,000% I definitely would. Doesn't mean that everyone else would love these settings however. An alternative option is to provide the default value in the comments file so that I can select how much different I want things to be...
Regarding the advantage benefit
"ADVANTAGE_DAMAGE_SCALING_FACTOR = 50 # How much should the advantage affect damage given"
Am I correct in understanding that this takes the basic advantage and multiplies it by 50, where I could put my own value in there? Or what would the default value be?
It will work if the save you are going to use it with was the same patch version.
NMercenary = {
LEVELS = { 9 9 9 } # Defines how many different sizes of mercenary companies are there and how many are spawned for a given culture
# The numbers correspond to numbers of counties of the culture. No company exists if the number is lower than the first value specified here.
HIRE_RANGE = 250 # The maximum distance of mercenaries that can be hired (capital to mercenary location)
HIRE_RANGE_SAME_CULTURE = 350 # The maximum distance of mercenaries with the same culture that can be hired (capital to mercenary location)
LEVIES = { 150 250 550 } # The base numbers of levies for levels of mercenary bands
MAA_REGIMENTS = { 1 2 2 } # The number of MAA regiments for levels of mercenary bands
NUM_KNIGHTS = { 1 3 5 } # The number of knights for levels of mercenary bands
MAA_REGIMENT_SIZES = { 1 2 3 } # The base sizes of MAA regiments for levels of mercenary bands, in number of sub-regiments
SKIP_CULTURAL_CHANCE = { 0.5 0.33 0.2 } # The chance that we skip including a cultural MaA in a merc company
SIZE_INNOVATIONS_RATIO = 3.5 # How much are mercenary companies growing with the ratio of discovered to all cultural innovations of the culture. 1.0 means +100%
# if SIZE_INNOVATIONS_RATIO = 2, the mercenaries will be 3x their original size if all innovations are discovered
HIRE_MONTHS = 60 # The length of the period mercenaries are hired for in months
LEVY_COST_PER_100_SOLDIERS = 0.1 # The cost of the levy regiment part of mercenary companies, per 100 soldiers for better precision
MAA_COST_RATIO = 0.2 # The cost of the MAA regiments of mercenary companies as a fraction of what those regiments cost when buying them
REALM_SIZE_MULT = 0.05 # The cost will increase by this many percent multiplied by the square root of the hirer's realm size (# of counties)
ALLOWED_DEBT_MONTHS = 24 # How many months of monthly income in dept are characters allowed to have before being blocked from hiring mercenaries
REINFORCEMENT_FACTOR = 3.0 # How much faster do mercenary regiments reinforce than regular regiments
COUNTY_REMOVAL_FACTOR = 1.2 # When removing mercenaries from shrinking cultures, first multiply culture size with this
}Oh dear! Let me see if I can reproduce that ..
Nevermind: its definitely my mod.
Hahah I think I might need to trim a build slot off the current bazillion. Its ever so slightly unbalanced ..
I've just had a look at the files on RICE's Github page and yeah .. looks to be. Can't see any conflicts.
