Hello everyone I made a compatible version of this mod. it works on MK1212 and Vanilla. I dont have Fall of the Eagles but @Malekith maybe you can try and see if it works ?! If it doesn't I will spend some time to fix it for the Fall of the Eagles !

As Brainlaag said, this works with Vanilla, but Fall of the Eagles is practically compulsory, and it does nothing in that mod. Unfortunately, this mod seems to be long-dead, and I doubt anyone here knows how or is willing to put the effort in to learn how to mod something like that. Myself unfortunately included.

I'm impressed at how such tiny changes make a huge difference to gameplay. THank you for the mod.

Not working. Please update.

This mod is currently broken.

Beware, while the current version works with vanilla, it is incompatible with Fall of the Eagles. A compatible version would be much appreciated for this essential mod.

Hello Caratacus,
I just wanted to let you know I've placed a link to your mod on my page because someone was asking me for a no melee penalties work-around into my mod.

Doesn't seem to work for me, does it require a new save game? I have a quicksave right outside a siege and every time I go in it still applies the penalties

essential mod! I too asked myself why would siege escalation should affect your attack and defence - morale loss is enough IMO

What is the name of this mod? I cant find it in data folder.

This mod is great could you make it compatible with the mod fall of the eagels?

do hope this works

A must have mod, without it assaults are horribly unbalnced.

i agree its excessive, so why not reduce or remove the morale penalties too?

Does this mod work??? When I used it a while ago, it still said there were melee penalties. Also, is not updated now >.<

Can you update this mod please?

New Patch.

does it work? I did a custom battle with lvl 1 escalation and i still penalties for melee attack and defense.

Thanks for updating!

Update

Need for update?

the reasoning behind this is that your troops are much more willing to defend a city that has been burned down to the ground which makes perfect sense!!

Please update!

please update for latest patch when you have 10 min :)

Seems that the mod is not working D:

So I'm using this mod and in the mod manager, it has the same yellow triagle with ! inside indicating the mod is out of date even though I see that it was last updated on Sept. 20th. Anyone know why that is? Also in game, when I hover over the icon that shows siege esclation penalties, it still shows melee penalties so I'm not sure if the mod's working or if that's just a graphical display thing.

@Mr. Pingpong - should do!

does this mod work with the new update?

Thank you. Is there going to be an update for the new patch?

@Roman501st - Yes, this should not cause any incompatability provided you use the same set of mods.

Multiplayer compatible if both players use the mod?

ya, this need update.

Update?

can you make it so the walls are not knocked down as it make it pointless to make siege equipment as there will be hold in the wall already?

Another nice one Mackles!

Great, I've been using the non steam one (glad to have it on steam!). Rated, favourited, subbed.

one of the most flawed parts of the game is now fixed. it makes no sense when under siege your weapons and armour magically break. Now its just a moral negative which makes far more sense.

Just what I wanted, thankyou

Thanks I agree. Moral penalty is enough. I hated it when I would start a new settlement and get atacked before I could finish building it and my men had bad melee and defense.
