you can always imagine that a few of his soldiers asked him to hold a grenade i mean there´s plenty of stories where soldiers got their officers killed when they considered them incopetents

barbarossa oficially drowned but nobady thinks that a few of his men where like "crap he must think he is the new alexander wanting to march us all the way to india, anyone remembers what happened to alexanders army ? HEY KAISER THE WATER SEEMS GREAT FOR A SWIM"

Very good point. Desertion and rebellion against incompetent commanding officers could lead to said officer being bumped off. After all, if he's facing desertions he's likely going to be trying to instill order and discipline - probably by means punishments. It would certainly make you careful about campaigning without adequate supply lines - which is what the aim would be, surely.

quick idea how about if an army has no supplies it starts losing some men every turn until they resupply

you sir are a genius now if you can continue and crack the rtw code and code that in since nobady can do it and thats why we´re having such a discussion :|

moonburn i dont really get your sppech are you calling me an idiot or asking me to code that which i cant really do?

Calm down folks.

@ EB rocks

There are only two ways to make units loose men, apart from fighting, that is desertion during a crusade and plagues. Both would be possible workarounds - but only if it can be turned on and off at will via script. And I don't know any way to do this (what of course doesn't necessarily follow there is none I have overlooked).

i´m under the impression that there´s no viable workaround imho there would need to be a few more code lines inside the game engine to represent that wich is why i was so "less friendly" towards eb rocks :| even tough i like his name

there´s basically no way to represent suply lines or their effects on troops and army size there´s only way to reduce moral when they are not there

Another mod for M2TW, Bellum Crucis, has a script that make mercenaries of all factions to desert if the finances go red. Maybe it can be adapted to the purpouse of simulating attrition because of lack of supplies.
