Warhammer Extended Battle Overhaul

Description
WEBO aka Warhammer Extended Battle Overhaul is a project that aims to become an all in one experience overhaul for Warhammer 2. All the changes have been tested and statically evaluated to reach a specific sweet spot of balance, so the vanilla experience would not be completely different. This is the first version of W.E.B.O.

WEBO version 1.0 aims to:
  • extend battle duration
  • rework morale to be more realistic but challenging in its implementation
  • rework fatigue to be more impactful on player decisions but in making battle more enjoyable
  • enhance gameplay by making entities more active by fighting and dueling during battles more frequently
  • rework of ai unit usage during combat and battle difficulty
  • rework ground values regarding movemenent cost in campaign to reflect their status


In a nutshell:

Flanking, artillery fire and rear charging are crucial for demoralizing the enemy. Fatigue has a greater impact to a unit's performance, units stay longer to specific fatigue-states. Running movement is slightly reduced, horses gallop and do not walk, infantry charges are a little bit better, units fight MORE with each other, armour is more important, impact damage and bracing have been reworked. Battle difficulty has been balanced. It still exists but now there is a smaller chance of a crappy infantry unit to stand long enough against a high tier ap unit. Campaign ground types have been adjusted to better reflect their terrain handicap and ambush effects .
AI unit usage has been modified for many units to allow AI for more flanking and movement. Projectile "damage chance (saving bonus, cover bonus etc) and other factors (not damage output) have been modified to be balanced with longer combat situations.

@Helgrim is the Brutal Battles + 25% ward save combination balanced and good for WEBO?

Hello, are you planning to 'port' this mod to WH3 when it comes out? This alongside the removal of army losses are genuine ESSENTIAL mods for me, and without them I will not enjoy the next game near as much

Jadawin's "Various Battle Tweaks" plays similarly to this, but goes quite overboard with some things. Logichammer by Scehr is similar too, but feels like not enough instead. WEBO for now is the best, but i'm afraid to use it with Cavalry Beta.

quite excellent work, great for increasing overall battle time, battles last longer indeed and almost every 20v20 battle with equal or less tier units is really epic experience, even with stupid AI decisions. But too questionable at some points, as for example: when little of units win against lots of remained ones, even though their stat powers morale are almost equal or a crap archer unit may decimate your cavalry. Anyway there's probably stuff you could look into and tweak mod in more better way :)
