You are very welcome Goededag.
Veel plezier met gamen en als je vragen hebt, laat maar weten!

By the way, I also like to use this patch, you can put it on top of Extended Battle Duration, it helps with building more ranged units :)

Thank you for this info, this should be good

Hi Goededag,

The only two conditions are that you load "Extended Battle Duration" on top of "Total Rebalance: Rome Rerostered III" and "the 120 AD / midgame map" on top of "270 BC map".
For example, you can do the order as follows:

- 120 AD mod / midgame map*
- 270 BC Map
- Extended Battle Duration
- Rome Rerostered III

I hope this helps answering your question, let me know if you have any other questions or comments.

"Fijne dag" @Goededag!

if I want this mod, as wel as the 270 BC map mod and the 120 AD mod/midgame map mod?
what is the load order?

@Svaor

I succesfully loaded all three possible configurations with the unit containing the model 'ALEX_phalangists'.
(Steam version of this mod)

- Rome Rerostered III
- Rome Rerostered III + Decreased Recruitment Time
- Rome Rerostered III + Extended Battle Duration

@Svaor

Can you try it one more time with restarting the game?
I had been updating the mod about an hour ago.

Which mods and submods are you running, in which order?

Error!
Q:\Feral\Steam\Workshop\2751251205\data\export_descr_unit.txt, at line 10552, column 24. Could not find soldier battle model "ALEX_phalangists" for unit type "mod grek mhop".

Change Notes:

- Added new General Bodyguard unit for the Greeks called 'Strategos Hoplite', recruitable from a Level 1 Academy (Greek Cities only)
- Increased attack of Greek Swordsmen to 18
- Increased defense of Levy Swordsmen to 15
- Increased defense of Illyrian Mercenaries to 18

Hey!
OK got it. Let's wait for new updates! :)

Hey Svaor,

> Chariots just got better! Morale and attack have increased, now chariots are a formidable force on the battlefield!

Yes they are :)

> Regarding horse archers (poor Parthia)
Is it possible to make 2 moves to hire Parthian horse archers - the "Persian cavalry"?!

It is possible, but I think a 3 turn recruitment time for Persian Cavalry is fair

> Will you strengthen the armored elephants (general's bodyguards)?
Yes, in a future update!

Chariots just got better! Morale and attack have increased, now chariots are a formidable force on the battlefield!
Regarding horse archers (poor Parthia)
Is it possible to make 2 moves to hire Parthian horse archers - the "Persian cavalry"?!
Question about Carthage
Will you strengthen the armored elephants (general's bodyguards)?

Update 8

- Increased attack for Cilician Pirates and Thracian Mercenaries from 12 to 15 (armour piercing)
- Low Tier Horse Archers Only require 2 turns to be recruited

Update 7 "Make Chariots Great Again"

- Chariots are now more OP than in base Rome Rerostered III

Hey!
Of course I have time! I'll install your Total Rebalance mods and check. If I find good chariots in them, I will write right away!

Hey again :)

I think you are right about the General Elephants and the Chariots, I will do some testing somewhere this week and increase the hitpoints of both (as I probably forgot to adjust them for this submod)
If you have time and want to test, can you check if the base mod Rome Rerostered 3 has better Chariots?

Yes, giving Parthia a faster hiring of mounted archers is a great solution! And giving them mounted cataphract archers would be great. And makes up for their weak infantry.
Carthage...
Armored Elephants (the general's guards) are weaker than a regular squad of Armored Elephants, which is bad. Carthage's infantry is just fine, my respect! The cavalry is also good.
Pontus, Seleucids.
Chariots are very weak, powerful attack, but no armor at all! Any squad of good lances (not phalanx) just destroys the chariots.

Hey Svaor,

Thanks again for your feedback.

> I know that sometimes I demand too much from you :))
Only sometimes? :)

> But you are the ONLY modder who listens to the players and works fast to improve the game.
Thank you, but lack of spare time and not getting monetary compensation means it still asks a lot from me ;)

Parthia is supposed to have bad infantry, that is by game design. (ask yourself why don't Romans have phalanx units, why do Greek have bad cavalry.. even though I also balanced that out a bit by giving Romans the Prefect unit and Greek some Heavy Cavalry Bodyguard Units)

I think I already gave them some better infantry than then they deserve.
Desert Axemen do have armour piercing, that's something Spanish Mercenaries don't have.
And with Persian Infantry you have some Javelin throwers, none of that was in the vanilla game.

I think it is very nice that other Eastern factions (and Thrace) now get Cataphract Units.
How is it not interesting, it's the best cavalry unit in the game.

I am not sure if Parthia has Cataphract Archers, but will add them if they haven't got them.
I also want to buff them a little bit by making their cheapest horse archer recruitable in 2 turns (being the exception that all other cavalry requires 3 turns).. it helps mass them to compensate for their weaker infantry.

I know that sometimes I demand too much from you :))
But you are the ONLY modder who listens to the players and works fast to improve the game. For which I will always be grateful to you!

Immortals are a detachment of generals, Desert Axemen are weaker than Spanish mercenaries. Cataphracts, previously only available to Parthia and the Seleucids, are now available to many factions. What makes cataphracts not such an interesting unit. Scythian archers and armored archers are better than Persian horse archers.

Parthia never had good infantry in vanilla, they do now have Persian Infantry and armor piercing Desert Axeman for tier 2 (they also have immortals at tier 3 governement building which is quite a powerful infantry unit)
(and if you manage to get to a tier 5 government building they get a Cataphract Infantry Bodyguard)
At a tier 3 academy there is also a Genitour Bodyguard which is a high tier Cavalry unit in my opinion.. but maybe they need a non-Horse Archer Cavalry unit at tier two.. I'll see..

Parthia needs good armored horse archers and heavy cavalry (before hiring cataphracts). And they don't have good infantry with swords or spears at all...

Change Notes (as included in the base mod)

- Increased attack on some Greek Cavalry units
- Added Genitour Bodyguard and Armoured Cavalry General Bodyguard to both Macedon and Greek Cities
- Increased amount of Spartan Hoplites in Spartan Hoplite Bodyguard from 60 to 80

Update 5:
Slight increase in morale for very low morale units

Great, just GREAT!
Now the battles have become longer, more interesting!

Update 4:

Decreased Morale for low tier missile troops

Update 3:

Increased morale for all units, so it's harder to rout them (but not impossible)

Update 2:

Increased attack of javelins, pila and slinger (to compensate for higher hitpoints)

Update 1:

Increase attack of archers (to compensate for higher hitpoints)

Well, now I'll download it and check it out! The best modder has released updates and additions again! ;))
