This is a great mod, really shows how a small tweak can have a profound change in the campaign experience. I think the best default value would be 2 levels though, which is the damage a sack+occupy would give. And also otherwise some factions might not be very fun :)
My experience with ai (and setting at 2) is they are fine, even slightly better than vanilla given their poor razing choices. Rebellions are fine too.

Now we have a more interesting question when going for damage: sometimes it might be faster to occupy+abandon, but we suck up po penalties. Sometimes being in the settlement will put the army in a dangerous place, though.
By not being random, we can make a decision instead of having to react, which is good game design and 1000% better than what vanilla offers.

didn't play enough of the game with this mod to judge what the AI does, sorry

WH2 doesn't get patches or changes, this mod is unlikely to ever break

I know its been a while, but is the mod still functional? Since its a script, I presume it would work with SFO and such.

How does the AI handle it? Do they stick around to raze multiple times?

I wonder how this impacts a Beastmen campaign.

Nice, thanks dude.

Perfect!

Updated:
I added a setting for Vandy's Mod Configuration Tool so you can change how much levels the settlement loses when it gets razed.

very interesting idea! I think it can have interesting consequences and feel quite loreful in some contexts.

If one combines it with the mod that restores WTW1-style occupation restrictions, it can generate a lot of "inertia" in wars where even winning battles will not wipe out the enemy. As you say, for good or for bad... But maybe closer to the lore where wars never end for centuries between given blocs

Can you make a a less gentle version that razes 3 levels?

I would guess this slows down Chaos invasions by a noticeable margin once they start splitting up their forces.

Amazing!

yes,yes
