AzzMod RTR 5.4 PROLONGED BATTLES MOD

README:

I was basically happy with 5.4, but I missed the old 2 hp system.
So I tried a new technique and it appears to work well.

Here is what I did:

> Added 1 HP to all units. If its too unbalanced email me @ ntkb@ghostdogs.net I would like some feedback on balance.
> Doubled unit attack bonuses. Example: If a skirmisher recieved a +6 vs Elephants, he now has a +12. Pikemen had +4 vs horses, now its +8, etc. Also doubled charge bonnus to retain shock value of cavalry.
> Doubled missile damage. Pilum did 15 damage, now they do 30. This allows a volley of missile fire to kill as it should, while allowing melee to be more prolonged.
> VERY MINOR tweaks to certian stats on units like Spartan hoplites and other elite units.
> Peasants units are left at 1 HP. #$#*& em. I never liked fighting all those stupid peasants anyway, now you should mop the floor with em.

Enjoy!

Doesn't this screw over elephants and chariots onto the point of them being rather useless?

onIf you want to host files at this site, look here
and this looks usefull, battles are way to quick to end, theres no such thing as a proper meat grinder.

How will this affect moral? will units still break as quickly?

OK, first off, this mod if for the RTR 5.4 mod.

Elephants a chariots are still forces to be reckoned with, however they are much more realistic and not so uber as the game potrays them as the romans proved in real life at Zama. Either way, they still are the single most powerful unit in the game. And remember, there archers power was doubled just like any other missile unit. So there archers are still powerful... same for chariots.

Morale is effected as normal, if you smash a unit from every angle with cavalry it will break, regardless of damage. HPs have nothing to do with it. As I mentioned before in another forum, What this mod mainly does is emphasize tactics and special units in the field battles, with Infantry mainly there to "hold the enemy in place," but in city battles, Infantry reigns supreme. With the extra HP you can really hold off alley ways and walls. Infantry shines in city battles.

Either way, its much nicer to see battles lasting 30-180 seconds rather then 5-15 seconds.
