i'm not sure if the ai actually has -%70 upkeep cost. just finished a golgfag campaign and never really saw the ai accumulate more than 3 or 4 armies. i've been playing with another upkeep reduction mod at %30 and the ai goes nuts. i wonder why this is.

I wonder if it is better to reduce the growth buffs?

Is this compatible with OP chaose dwarfs mod?

Curious to see if you know what they buffed in 2.2 for legendary difficulty, i've been playing it and it feels not very different at all compared to what i had to deal with in 2.1

Thank you Loupi for the answer.

on balance maybe about the same, my mod massively increases the AI bonuses for each faction potential bracket, where as his puts every faction in a high potential bracket (but doesnt change the vanilla bonuses much), so for high strength factions mine will be much harder since the bonuses are much higher, but for other his will probably be harder

Hello Loupi.

Could you tell me if this mod is harder or easier than yours ?

Does this mod do anything for Tomb Kings and Beastmen factions? I've noticed whenever I start a campaign with this enabled, Beastmen are wiped out instantly (whereas they do prevail for a while normally) and Tomb Kings rarely prosper. Giving them an additional army capacity might help?

it doesnt need updating from what i can see

Its a good mod, does it need updating?

Thanks for this. It sounds like just the mod I was looking for. Gonna try it on my next campaign.

Ill let you know then, although I do have a few other mods to help the AI, i have 12k hours and the game is for kids right now, no challenge for me right now so ill test it.

I mean i know it is harder, but i havent played entire campaigns with multiple factions to see exactly how much harder, been bust actually making mods

If anyone knows, its going to be you? Does not sound like you know what you have done at this point.

yeah its a bit too easy, but not quite sure how much this changes it

The game needs this - its to easy on legendary

It just worked (new game) in IE for me too.
And I can see AI upkeep is lower, a very good beguinning ! Thank you Loupi.

Nice ! Higher difficulty is what I need to not abondon the campaign turn 30. I'm curious about the (slightly) changes you made but I suppose you don't fancy to share theese details.

oki i've update again and tested, no crashes yet, some of difficulty setting are slightly higher

Second try new game with an other faction failed too (IE). The only change is your mod... Could you fix that ?

Okay. I will try again.

le me know if it doesnt work, but i think i was lucky that none of the table used here were messed with

I just got a crash trying to make a new game with your mod on, in Immortal Emprire.

And do you think you can make this mod even harder on IE ? New greater caps, maybe ? I don't know if limites changed.

It seems very easy to update. Nice.

Oh, thank you mate.

I don't know, but I suppose it won't, because a experienced modder told me that the new database is now very different, he told me "you can forget not updated mods".

just updated, but i dont think anything was broken

does it not work?

Hello mate.
Could you update this mod please ?

I see, there is nothing more to do...
Thank you for your answer.

hi, i originally wanted it more hardcore as you say, but i think there might be some hidden cap,because when i went beyond the current values it kept crashing, so it will most likely stay as it is, sorry

Hello dude.

Hum... I'm sorry if I ask to much from you... I don't know.

Could you create a hardcore version of this mod, simply by changing fiew files ?
Maybe you could just buff even more AI growth, and AI base income.

The idea being to improve the quality and diversity of the AI soldiers very quickly without artificially increasing their combat statistics. And also to allow them to bear the cost of an advanced army set and so on.

It would be great...
