Fortification Attrition Mod (FAM)

As you upgrade the Bastion, Empire Forts, and Ulthuan Gates they gain bonuses to attrition, potentially capping out at 70%.


This fortification attrition mod does not wholesale remove the ability to cause attrition damage to these fortifications. The goal is to make these fortifications more intimidating or challenging, but still rewarding preparation with the use of agent actions (sorry if your faction doesn't have a damage-building agent).

• Cathay Bastion: The main Bastion settlement provides +5% or 10% attrition resistance per level, capping at 40% at settlement level 5.The three separate defensive-category structures (the yellow ones) provide +2% attrition resistance per level, capping at 10% at building level 5. Therefore, the theoretical max is 70%.
  
• Empire Forts: Being single structure settlements, level one forts start at 30% resistance and by level five reach 70% resistance.
  
• Ulthuan Gates: Being single structure settlements, level one forts start at 30% resistance and by level five reach 70% resistance.
  
• In order to provide some give-and-take, damaging the main settlement or any of its buildings will remove the entire anti-attrition bonus that building provides (in the case of Ulthuan Gates or Empire forts it reduces it by half). Therefore, if you're an attacker, consider damaging a building or two prior to laying siege.
  
• Note that hitting 100% immunity will cause a bug where sieging manpower becomes infinite, allowing instant construction of max siege equipment. Therefore, attrition resistance ceiling has been kept around 70%.

This is not balanced. This mod is driven by personal taste. Overall, this mod will make things easier for the player, because the player can properly understand these changes and prepare accordingly. If you do not want these specific values this mod is very easy to change yourself in RPFM.


This mod is highly compatible thanks to its very narrow scope and the fact that it only adds effects to structures, rather than modifying existing ones.

It is save game compatible, it may be added or removed freely.

It should be update-proof, again due to its narrow scope. The only way it would break is if CA renames the fortifications, or changes the effects used (highly unlikely).


Values are subject to change.
