@Reithan can you update your awesome mod please?

It is death?

Broken and the modder refuses to fix

Thanks for this!

update pls.

I would love to see this mod updated again. I hate the types of cheats the AI gets in most games.

@Echo been feeling more like it lately. Looks like CA may finally be pulling things together a bit. I'd really still like to see a few of the really long-standing impactful bugs cleaned up a bit, like cavalry formations and stuff, but if we get a few more good updates, I might be motivated to update these mods again.

Hey Reithan, any plans to come back to the game and update the mod? Among the various anti-cheat mods on the workshop, yours is still the most comprehensive.

for some reason this mod isn't loading for me at the moment..

Hey, thanks you verry much for this mod ! I was wondering does it still works pls ?

Hey Reithan. Just wanted to thank you for the mod. It was a staple in tww2 and it will always be a must have for me. Hope you're doing well

Does this mod still work?
I find the game unplayable without it.

Appreciate you letting us know. The state of the game is a disappointment. Thank you for doing this mod, it does help make the game more enjoyable. Will happily be patient for this mod because its worth it.

I know there's been a lack of updates for a while. Sorry to all the subscribers, but I'm honestly just waiting for a LITTLE bit of stability from the game.

With the current state of bugs and the community burning down over overpriced DLCs, I've not been particularly motivated to update this atm.

Hopefully the situation will be resolved soon.

The first 20 turns i played this game the AI cheating was so obvious it did not feel like I was playing a game. Thank you for this

@hefestion Both. Normally I find playing on the higher difficulties annoying. Not because it's difficult to win, per se, but because you end up having to play in a very exploitative fashion to overcome AI cheats.

With this mod, you can play at high difficulties and ignore exploits and play 'normally' and it should feel like relatively the same challenge. But if you're still trying to min-max and eke out every advantage, it'll probably be comically easy.

I'll see about updating this weekend or next. Was hoping for more fixes from CA, but it is what it is.

News ?

when you say to bump the difficulty, you mean both difficultys? campaing and battle?

@CMDR Youth tbh I'm waiting for a hotfix or fix patch. This one's busted and I don't want to have to do it twice.

Will this get a 3.1 Update soon? It's probably not necessary, based on what this changes, but the hazard sign in the mod manager always concerns.

@Dempsey Yes. :D
It's missing from the changelist for some reason though.

Does this mod remove the upkeep reduction the A.I. gets in immortal empires?

Tried the chaos dwarves with and without this mod and the difference is like night and day. Without the mod i got attacked by everyone and there mother. Each controling full stacks. With this mod not only do i not get overwhelmed by endless hordes of people comming all the way from uthan to kill me but they also dont have massive stacks.

Thank you.

@Captainbeastfeast We will find out.

@reithan will this still work following the 3.0 update?

@Grictalio AH, sadly there is a bonus the AI gets when they're down to 1 settlement remaining. Some kind of "last stand bonus". It's hard-coded into the game, I can't do anything about it. But basically an AI down to their last settlement gets a boost so that they can basically always field at least 1 stack to defend themself. It's pretty bullshit.

@Reithan
I was playing a N'Kari campaign, and I was fighting, for example, Eltharion the Grim, who had, if I recall, 2 settlements, if not 1, and was able to consistently field at least 1 full stack army. Granted, it was largely a cheap army, but he was always able to consistently recruit it, and be a thorn in my side.
It's not a particularly egregious action of the AI, but I was curious if the AI has a coffer of money, or if they only are concerned with whether or not the armies they have are affordable in regards to their current income.
I could absolutely be misreading that, but I was more curious than anything.

@grictalio I'm not sure what you mean, can you give an example?

So, how does the AI interact with the economy? Because, from what I can see, playing with this mod, they seem to be able to pump out armies with impunity, albeit cheap. Like, they seem to only interact with the income portion, and don't seem to be all to concerned with what may or may not be in their coffers.
Am I wrong on this assumption?

Thank You, yeah it working well

@Jack Greedy, I haven't tested that specifically, but since this is just db edits, it should be FAIRLY compatible with most things. If you do test it, let me know how it goes!

Is it compatible with Radious? Just asking, as this mod looks great.

I'm not seeing anything flagrant. Thank you, @Reithan.
I've found that in TWW3, at the moment, the AI is wildly anti-player and loves to declare war as soon as you discover them. Your mod has made that a lot less unbearable.

I know this is like, a gaze forward, but I presume you intend to keep this up to date with the release of the Chaos Dwarfs?

Been playing a bit with the refreshed mod, not noticing any obvious cheats atm, if anyone has seen any new discrepancies I need to address, if you could post a screenshot or example so I can look into it, that would be awesome.

hi @Reithan, can you update warhammer 2 version? Thank!

Ok, did an initial check-over with tools to make sure nothing is EXPLICITLY broken. Going to be playing through some campaign and seeing if there's any funny-business going on, and I'll probably need to do another (UGH) manual comb through the db files to see if any 'cheat' values got added, renamed, etc.

I prefer to die with cheats then to win with cheats

thankyou :)

@Captainbeastfeast it still needs update, but when working, yes, removes anti-player bias
@Malaficus Shaikan I think I may be able to finish up this weekend, otherwise it may be another week or few.

is this mod currently functional?

to confirm, this removes AI anti player bias?

Polite: Any idea how long the update is going to take?

@Fané Yeah, now that the new patches are out, I definitely need to put out an update, sorry for the delays.

I have been using this mod for some time and I thank you for it. I see skavenblight raising 2 x 20 stack armies + a 3rd one with 10 units, while owning just skavenblight and a small settlement (their starting ones), this is happening early in like 10 turns. I tried a belegar run, but cannot leave and I am stuck in defending because this fucker having 3 armies. Maybe some tuning you did is not working now with the patch? Idk how to check :)

I do plan on giving this mod a look at and overhaul once the new patch(es) drop after CA's current radio-silence. I'm just not sure there's much I can do to improve on things with the current state of the game.

@Antonius factions with only 1 settlement get a hardcoded bonus that I can't change, sorry. It's some last-man-standing holdout bonus or something. They get a big boost to income and recruitment. :(

I am 100% convinced that this mod does not work as intended. PLaying on Legendary, factions with 1 Minor settlement have 3 full armies (even though it's peasants). My strength rank is 176 on turn 12 (Generally I'm top 10). Please fix.

@VelvetDrgn yes

can this be added mid game?
