RIS Athena's Blessing

Description
Athena’s Blessing: (try it on: Very Hard / Very Hard)
  • All true hoplites get phalanx (and AI uses it... OOF! )

  • Javelins (and similar) pierce armor (so don't let your armored units be sitting ducks!)

  • +50% campaign movement (AI can ambush you now!)

  • Realism on recruiting times. 90% of units are still 2 turn, but ultralight/unarmored & merc footmen = 1 turn). Inexperienced units (adolescents, levies etc.) can be mass produced, but their costs are roughly doubled.
    (this is historical... most cultures (on occasion) had to raise a militia army in a few months or less (3 months = 1 turn) (extremely high cost -but reduced upkeep)

    "CAPTAIN! --I want every man, woman, and child (that can hold a spear), armed and on the field for live training in 2 hours!" -Your general, probably.

  • Slaves funneled to towns with generals (like vanilla) & structure build times reduced slightly (helps get the game rolling faster --especially for smaller factions)


    Have fun!

the alternative way to solve it is to put everything back to 2 turns recruitment, and only make it so the player can do it in 1 turn or less. trouble with that is, well its a nerf to the difficulty level if the ai cant do it as well... ill look into it when i start playing this game again

In lieu of modifying the AI so that it assembles armies more sensibly (which I guess is beyond the scope of this mod?), across the board would probably be a good idea - the Delmatae seem to be even worse now, just threw an 80% Southern Illyrian Levy army at me.

Let me know if you want to take a peek at my save btw.

oi, i hadn't experienced this. it can be fixed, probably by putting velites back to 2 turn recruitment. but that suggests that ill need to do it across the board.

will have to look deeper into this, keep me posted on your findingas as well. :lunar2020halodragon::steamthumbsup:

Loving the mod, playing a Sparta campaign with it at the moment. Only problem is that the AI seems to recruit way too many of the faster recruitment time units, Roman armies for example are around 50% Velites... Can this be fixed?

i might have a look at it, if it requires updating. im not playing this game right now, so i rely on folks like you to keep me informed when updates etc come out.

cheers :lunar2020halodragon::steamthumbsup:

The Illyrian Noble Spearmen work just fine in campaign. I did notice the Massilote General's Bodyguard could also use the phalanx and again thank you for this amazing mod.

it works in custom battle, I will update you on campaign functionality when I have more time and again thank you, it's fun to have a challenge in a otherwise infantry roster that can be easily bulldozed with a Greek phalanx. I struggled in a one on one Battle using Spartans but by Zeus they conquered.
