*SWITCH TO AI GENERAL II* Spectator Mode II

Description



Warning: This mod is not compatible with AI General II. You will have to choose one or the other.
It is highly advised to pick AI General over this one!



First things first, all credit for this mod goes to Hambango[forums.totalwar.com]who created this. I uploaded it here with his permission to publish and maintain it.




One of the highest rated mods for Total War: Warhammer returns! This mod adds a Spectator Mode for the times you feel that you've had enough with micro-managing your army and just want to lay back and watch the carnage unfold.

How it works

All you have to do is hit Shift + F9 at the same time on the deployment phase or during the battle. This triggers a pop-up window showing the advisor. You can now toggle between the following modes by pressing Shift + F9:

- Spectator Mode
The AI fully controls your army (shortcut: Shift + F10)
- Lord Mode
You only control your Lord, while the AI controls the rest of your army (shortcut: Shift + F11)
- Reinforcement Mode
You control your army, while the AI takes over the reinforcements and summoned units (shortcut: Shift + F12)
- AI Off
You fully control all your armies (shortcut: assign a key to "Save Camera Bookmark 5")

Additional function - Turn Unit Responses On/Off
Useful when your units get stuck in an audio loop. To use this function you must first assign a key to "Save Camera Bookmark 6"



Things to notice

- The hotkeys (Shift + F9/F10/F11/F12) replace the bookmark locations 1-4 in keybindings section. You can change them freely though. For more explanation on the controls, please refer to this thread.

- Spectator Mode works both in Campaign and Custom battles. It does not work in quest and intro battles.

Sadly no, but it's strange AI General doesn't work for you, I use it since its release without any issues. Only a couple times after a big patch it stopped working, then was updated and all good again.

Any chance to put this in WH3? AI general never has worked for me for some reason, but this mod does

Used it by just giving it control of the units no i didn't help it at all. The Greenskins under Spectators control managed to barely win against a Dwarf gun line managed by the opposing Game AI. On that note Spectator play the as the Dwarfs was a complete mess with the Opposing AI Controlled Greenskins overrunning the Dwarf army quickly and with minimal losses as Spectator was busy spinning the Dwarfs in endless circles and constantly reforming units.

Works alright for Greenskins, since they are a melee centric force. I would dare to say maybe a Beastmen with a non monster army can also use this.
Personally I feel the Greenskins are just overpowered in battle which is why Spectator managed a Pyrrhic Victory.

I've started trying to port AI General II to III. (I'm the modder that worked on recent updates to AI General II and previously ported it to Troy.) The current version of AI General II on Steam should be able to do everything that Spectator Mode II can do. If you want to get updates on my progress on AI General III, you can check this Steam discussion .
