Description
The Synthetics have Arrived

Ground Command is a mod the attempts to expand upon the ground battles in Stellaris. It does this in several ways allowing for more control and greater roleplay potential.

Firstly Assault Armies are dead. To replace them are the parts that would in theory make up an assault up. This added granularity allows for much more influence by the player, going heavier on armor or infantry or even focusing on air support.

Secondly is Roleplay. Because of how granular this system is it can be expanded significantly. You will unlock various armies as you progress through the tech tree naturally but others are locked behind specific Origins/Authorities/Civics/and Ascension Perks. With plenty of room to add more or incorporate civics/origins from other mods.

Third Industrial worlds are now more important as more advanced army types require industrial districts to be produced. Tanks, air support, and more cannot be built on worlds without at least 1 industrial district. This is both to add a sense of logistics and strategic importance as well as cutting down on the number of possible armies on some planets so that a xenophile empire does not open the army tab and blow up their computer.

Russian Translation

Alright so this made it to the front page of the workshop somehow. Thanks for everyone who has subscribed and made the mod a favorite. I'm really excited that people are liking it!

@Akashi Zetsugou I definitely tried to keep things balanced when designing it, invasions should still be a challenge with this mod, just a challenge with more answers than "Big Number". As the game goes on you should unlock stronger armies that make things easier but nothing is stopping you or the AI from just stationing those stronger armies on planets to defend them. I haven't seen any complaints about the balance so i'd like to think i was successful.

The AI will absolutely use this mod, in fact they don't have a choice since the vanilla assault armies are disabled when the mod is running. Will they use incredibly realistic army compositions? Probably not. But they'll use the new armies and even use special armies or stronger armies that get unlocked later on.

@Risker the 34th Hey! I been looking for a nice ground combat mod that improves it and yours sounds amazing, I am just curious about a few things I would hope if you could answer, is your mod balanced and is the AI able to use it well or is it only for players?

@Civ5Fan Ah, so i have played with that mod and the compatibility patch a little bit. I'm not super familiar with the current state of it, but i do know that in his system certain armies, from both mods in the patch, are locked behind buildings that he added in. I'm honestly just grateful he made a compatibility patch at all since it saved me from having to do one lol.

I had this, military enhancements, and their patch. Tested and for some reason patch messed with things, mod works great now.

@civ5fan I'm not entirely sure what you mean by robotic assault divisions, there shouldn't be any assault divisions at all if the mod is working correctly. Looking back into the code, the war bot requires some form of industrial or robot related buildings, such as the robotic assembly buildings, the forges, or the civilian industry buildings.

It requires you to not have ai outlawed, and to have the droids tech. If you fit all those requirements you should have the option.

Cant seem to make them and was wondering if I missed something. I can make robotic assault divisions but not war bots even though they were both in the robot tech.
Risker the 34th  [author] 29 Jun @ 8:41am 
spec academy? If my memory is correct war bots are just the next level of robot tech.
Civ5Fan 29 Jun @ 8:38am 
What are the requirements for war bot army? Got a world with robots and spec academy. Are industrial districts one of the resource ones?

Im not sure when you can unlock Psi armies if you are really trying to rush them but the main issue there is that this mod just doesn't tough the special armies, Psi/Gene/Xeno/Legion etc... so they are at the same stats as if assault armies were the best there was.

For compatibility reasons the less vanilla things are touched the better and psi armies are probably one of the few that other mods might interact with. I believe the feudal roster actually has a unique army if you are also psionic.

The balance of this mod renders psionic armies obsolete before you research it.
