PLSSS UPDATE

I remember this was one of the best mods that I got to enjoy.. Such a shame it didn't get an update because it was one of the best balanced and well thought mods out there.
I'm so anxious for this mod to come back that I think would actually give money to the creator..

please update for the actual DeI Version

Yes it most certainly would.

An update would be cool.

My skills modding skills are rusty Uknowho but I might update since I have some free time this weekend

update?

we need a good mod with Springal's one of the best roman siege weapons

okay unfortunate i liked what ballistas did although that pila thing is amusing if not dangrous to rear charge as you kill half your unit pinning the enemy as well lol.

This mod has not bee updated in a long time, using it will certainly have weird effects at this point

look at heavy pila thrown by imperial legionaires they seem to insta kill everything like they are scorpion bolts.....

Hi Sirandrewdrake.

Im modding a little Rome 2 myself. Never get bored looking at tables ;) But cant figure out how to let bastion equipment and the scorpions fire faster. i also would like to add more munition to siege towers. im glad they fixed the sieges for rome 2!

thanks

Game Crashes at start, when this mod activated :/ maybe update!?

I tested extensively to ensure this was the case, and it appears this mod dramatically increases the damage done by slingers (I did not test other missile units). Praetorian guard charging at one unprotected slinger unit were destroyed in seconds. I first noticed this when doing the historical battle of Cannae, in which a I shot at the unprotected flank of a Roman blob of Triarii. They were COMPLETELY slaughtered in secomds, along with my own men, on the other side of the blob, with their shields facing the slingers.

not a problem, thanks.

You need DEI. I am not playing or modding Rome anymore for the time being...so I am not making more mods buddy sorry

is there any way to use this mod without DEI? or perhaps another version of the mod? thanks.

Well the increases in siege weapon damage seem to be working, but I still only get the option of 2 laddars, 4 galleys, and one ram. Is it a technology thing?

Sorry mate but I don't know what sort of problems you are experiencing, because I just played it woth my mods and quite a few more and is working perfectly

It's not just CiG. It must be an update to the DeI mod itself. The default now for DeI is 2 laddars, 1 ram, and 4 galleys per slot. With your mod activated, nothing changes in both CiG and Grand Campaign.

Hmmm @[TFM]bh5496 I checked the mod and I don't see why it would not work with CiG. I have not tested it tho, since I have not played CiG in a long time. I have not played Rome in the last couple of days, so maybe a new update disabled it.

I checked in grand campaign and CiG. The mod doesn't seem to work at all even with all other mods but DeI and this turned off.

Sorry mate I still need to check on that

all siege units are still halved in CiG. Am I the only one experiencing this?

For CiG campaign siege engines are halved, so I only get 2 ladders instead of 4 or 6. Could use hotfix.

In my carthage campain, I got sick of Elephants being so weak so I slightly tweaked them to make them stronger without over powering them, Let me know how you find the change

Hello , there was just no question that to besiege a fortified city a minimum of soldiers would be needed and now could do that with 10 soldiers is an opinion. Another important issue could also increase a city besieged troops enlisting only armed citizens . Thank you very much for everything and for your time.

Love this mod (and the navy one too). Glad you updated them, Drake. One thing I noticed though: siege walls go down FAST with your mod. I can take out a tower in about 3 hits. Maybe up the building hit points a little more?
Edit: The walls are good and strong, no problem there. It's just the arrow towers that are super soft. Is that intentional? I guess it makes sense, as towers are hollow and walls are solid.

Wolf, thanks for the comment, and just for checks...was there a question in your comment?
If I have siege equipment I normally let it rain firerocks until all amno is finished before ending an assault, the exceptio being when I decide to use ladders on different vector points to force the enemy to spread resources, or to attack them by "surprise" :)

Hi, would have potential to change the minimum number of troops needed in sieges , as you can circumvent the wear of the troops , for example I put 200 soldiers besieging a city and 3000 in support , in this case only will wear the 200 but the effect would wear mocked by 3000, for example, only a complete army could be enabled to perform the siege.
Thanks for all.

3. This affects naval units too, making them deadly but inaccurate, as they should be (try it with my naval mod for better naval battles)

Hi Explosive, a few differences:

1. Buildings have increased hit points:

-This means your units won’t destroy breakable objects at first contact like they were made of glass
-Gates are not as easy to ignite, so magical torches are not very effective

2. Artillery deal a lot more damage, but is less accurate:

-This means that artillery is deadly to walls but not very effective for land units
-Damage is spread between different wall sections, units and surrounding buildings, simulating a real siege
-artillery has a minimum firing range, eliminating the chance of making them OP, are presenting more realistic firing angles
-Artillery is deadly to land units, but doesn't hit too often, making them more of a fear weapon that deals big damage to an incoming army with a few hits, but is not useful when the melee starts, unless you move them back and are prepared for a lot of friendly fire (which is more realistic too)

hello. how would you say this compares to the dei 1.03 artillery changes? they seem to be at a really good place right now. are the changes in this mod even better?

Problem fixed

atm there is a problem with slingers, they are shooting boulders LOL, ill fix it tonight or tomoz morning

bh5496, it will work, but you won't get all the bnefits if my mod does not load before DEI

no need, with the new update it works now. Good job! ;)

bh5496 mate you need to download and use the community mod manager from the TWC website, it makes your life way easier

Updated again for DEI 1.0, you need to use the community mod manager from the TWC to place this mod above DEI in the load order. If you don't want to use the comunity mod manager, you can rename my mod, making sure you put infront of the name ____(thats four underscores) so it loads before DEI on the game mod manager.

I just downloaded DEI 1.0, and will check the mod for compatibility today, it seems they fixed some of the siege issues already

Ok, with the community mod manager from TWC i managed to get the mod in working order with DEI 0.96. I have placed this mod at the top of the mod list. However naval battles with scorpion ships makes de game still crash. I tested this trough trial and error in custom battles between Carthagians and Romans. Thanks for looking into this +rep.

game i think. Whichever one is the one that you can open after you press "play game" and has them all in a row with check boxes. The mod also has the exclamation mark of outdatedness over it.

community

Awkward it does not happen to me, do you guys use the community mod manager, or just the game mod manager?

same here

ya there seems to be a new DeI 1.0, but even only with 0.96 active this mod still causes my game to crash when going into campaign battle

Updated for DEI 096...it is working for me with the mod manager, however it seems DEI is updating as I write this, so let me know if it works for you guys...sorry for the delay

update please DEI crashes... BTW awsome mod!

can u make a version of this for vanilla game?
