Description
UP-TO-DATE WITH Reinforcement Pack #17 - War Reserves




the divisions have to be recreated !ONCE! for every single new mod. they are saved separate and you can switch to your vanilla or other mods safely back without losing any of them

if you want to play mostly army general with mods, you have to know, that every single update (vanilla ones too) will break your savefiles! (except skirmish saves etc!!!) you can get around it if you make a backup from the mod folder every time you start a army general game and copy those files back when a mod update arrives:

C:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\919640\2982801625


it`s a gameplay mod with some minor realism tweaks and not a 100% accurate realism mod

if you like my mod and want to support me, give a thumb up and/or add it to your favorites. thanks!



what this mod changes so far (not all changes are listed):


- same as my REDUX mod, but wrecks, crater & dead bodies persist until the end of the game now (WARNING: this MAY cause DESYNCS in MP/COOP battles or/and cause worser performance if your pc is not good enough especialy in bigger battles)
- deck rework (includes all DLC divisions too) and for all decks: slot costs of 1 point & 55 activation points & 55 deck slots (its recommended to use selfmade decks, because the vanilla premade decks are not optimized with the new deck rules)
- vanilla, reworked & additional division economics
- Phase B starts after 15 min & Phase C after 30 min
- greatly extended duration for breakthrough & conquest
- speed for vehicle/tanks resembles more RL values (MUCH SLOWER GAMEPLAY)
- speed buffs from traits & veteran status have been reduced or deactivated
- supply units have +100% more capacity & have a +50% availbility buff, infantry can be reinforced
- higher artillery dispersion (+25% more dispersion) & longer radio spotter range (2km)
- gamespeed changes: slow: 0.5, normal: 0.75, fast: 1.0 & very fast: 3.0 (vanilla: 0.33, 1.0, 2.0 & 3.0) all games (even mp/coop) will start with 1.0 gamespeed, which is now on the fast button!
- aircrafts have a higher evasive buff (vanilla: +0%/+15%/+25%, now: +10%/+20%/+30%)
- infantry gets a 15%/25%/35% damage resistance buff for each veteran level
- buildings have more hp & infantry is better covered
- glow for units in buildings or behind cover is deactivated
- longer duration for fire & smoke
- reworked veteran levels
- ace units have 50% more HP
- 85mm-94mm cannons have higher AP damage values
(88-94mm guns can now kill any medium tank with one succesful penetration hit (vanilla: they needed 2 hits))
- and more....

FOR SAFETY: you can make a backup of your deck location:

C:\Steam\userdata\xxxxxxx\919640


Some AI & gameplay facts:

implemented as a feature from devs, to be closer to how a human would react in a online match or even a real battle, it targets the position of your !firing! artillery even if it has no sight contact or recon unit near (moving those units a bit away after firing is recommended). the ai has a remembrance! if it spots units only for !one second!, it will remember their exact last seen position for several minutes up to an hour. if it has no actionspoints left for an artillery or airstrike in that moment, the attack can follow several minutes later even! the ai is capable to fire on positions, it believes you have units stationed! i have sometimes watched the ai attacking positions on my territory, where a good position was for my artillery/pak/aaa, but there havent ever been any of my units during the battle. most underestimate the stealth abillity of infantry recon units too. without a counter recon unit to spot them, normal units have to be sometimes 100-50m close to spot them. recon units dont effect the frontline system and they can sneak past your lines. recon units on hills/high buildings (like churches) can spot units further away and over close forests. all those factors lead most to the misunderstanding the AI is omnipotent. last but not least: the ai knows, how important support trucks are and prioritize them above everything else. supply units are very fragile and mostly explode during supplying other units by arty dispersion as a collateral damage

tajana_g i didnt find anything directly, but i will reupload the mod and increased the ticket value a bit. so you have to try after the new update in some minutes ;)
tajana_g 8 Jun, 2023 @ 8:06am 
Thank your very much! The time is still a lot longer than in vanila. Just the ticket loss on a draw shortens the match time so you cant use the extended time of your mod...
tajana_g 8 Jun, 2023 @ 8:04am 
Thank you very much!
Shatras  [author] 8 Jun, 2023 @ 7:55am 
tajana_g hey! the last changes i made for army general have been month ago and i made them for a bit longer battles. maybe some stats returned to vanilla. i will take a look for it
tajana_g 8 Jun, 2023 @ 6:46am 
in army general that is quite stressing since I like to bleed out the AI and start pushing in phase C. Now I barely make it to C, because the AI looses to much tickets
tajana_g 8 Jun, 2023 @ 6:44am 
hi, is it your mod that makes the defenders tickets tick down as soon as the attacker pushes enough flags for a draw?
franciscopena2000 6 Jun, 2023 @ 6:28am 
Thanks a lot still!
You’re the best!
Shatras  [author] 5 Jun, 2023 @ 2:44pm 
franciscopena2000 thank you! if i could i would implement the same WARNO system for transports, so you could resell them after use etc, but i am sorry, that is beyond my little modder skills sadly. maybe eugen will patch this system some day from WARNO to SD2, like the upcoming new units traits
franciscopena2000 5 Jun, 2023 @ 7:56am 
hi there!
Is there anyway that you could make a mod that makes the transports not despawn?
even if it is just for skirmish that would be awesome.
btw huge fan of your awesome work!
