Better AI Recruitment and Army Composition

Description
A version of the mod for Atilla Grand Campaign (and pretty much all the others except AoC, there is a separate one for it). For all those annoyed by numerous missile (javelin, archers, missile cavalry) units within AI armies and tired of having to spend half a battle chasing them across entire map is the following tweak.

Subscribe and see AI reduce its dependency on missile and artillery troops and focus on recruiting more melee infantry and cavalry units, for better and more close combat battles.

What does it do?
- AI recruits more melee units
- AI recruits much less artillery
- AI recruits much less missiles

An average army would be composed of 12-16 melee units 3-5 melee cavalry and 2-3 missiles.

Savegame and other mod compatible. However do not expect immediate changes - Its only after suffering casualties and through new recruitment existing army composition shall change to inf melee focus away from missiles.

P.S. Feel free to ask any questions and Enjoy.

I play the orginal game build and don't see AI armies with a lot of artillery and missiles. Most of unites are melee units. So looks like there is no need for rhis mode for now.

i cant get this mod to work for medieval kingdoms. yes it runs with it and does not crash, but 100 turns into the game and still 13 missile unit armies or either mostly cav. and its not just one or 2 armies im seeing like this. it is pretty much all of them.

On 20 unit armies, you get a lot of spears, 12-15, which makes AI armies too cheeseable imo.
Mascarada 20 Sep, 2022 @ 7:03pm 
I mean, as in the AI recruits A LOT of spears; if you use 41 unit armies, you see upwards of 35 spears with barely any cav or missiles, a bit tedious if you ask me! If you could have a look into this, it'd be great.

you mean like spear infantry vs swords?
Mascarada 19 Sep, 2022 @ 7:59pm 
Way too much spears, sadly; cannot replace the mod of better recruitment (and that also allowed the AI and you to recruit everything per city tiers instead of the dumb buildings). Shame.

is this compatible with the ancient empire?
