Medieval II's fluent combat system (no matched combat)

Description
This mod makes the combat less clunky, more fluent and realistic by removing the showy but ridiculous combat animations. Just like in the good ol' Total War games of the old engine (like Medieval 2 or Rome I).

Since the new engine was introduced to the Total War series, and the "matched combat" system with it, the battles feel really clunky and uncanny, with soldiers "sliding", nonsense 1vs1 duels during massive engagements and no unit collision.
Luckily it can be fixed with some adjustments!

- Soldiers will no longer "mix" with each other whilst charging
- Soldiers will no longer lock on each other to perform showy but pointless attacks
- Soldiers will gang up on others, making 1 vs 2+ fights much more common
- Soldiers will no longer duel with each other 1 vs 1
- Soldiers no more "fly" through the battlefield after being knocked out
- Soldiers now perform attacks more often
- Soldiers get up quicker after being knocked out

This mod is by no means perfect - the combat can't look 100% realistic and fluent with the current engine...
Still, it's an attempt to achieve as much as possible in that matter.

Not compatible with other combat mods.

I know that there already exists a very similiar Matched Combat Be Gone mod by Archimonday-Schtz, and while I really appreciate his work, I felt like it wasn't quite enough. Neverless, don't hesitate to check it out too.

I am still not 100% satisfied with this mod and I will seek to improve it further.

Leave a like if you enjoy my mod!

Ah, too bad Sudoku, but thanks! The battles are much better with your mod.

Sadly not, at least not from me, you may try looking for something similar.

Great mod. Is there a version for Rome 2?

This mod brings formations back in play. Units are now aware that they need to stick to their position and hold the shield wall. No more sliding around to pick random 1v1s and break the formation, letting the enemy flood in.

Thank you for your work, a real must have mod.

@Scarreds no, it doesn't change anything with the HP

does this also bring back the HP system, or would I have to use the HP mod with this?

Sadly I'm not playing Attila anymore :/
You can always modify the files and lower the melee hit chances - this will make soldiers fight longer.

Would you be willing to upload your personal modified version of the mod? I agree that even with this the combat is very fast.
