Balancing:

-

100% matched combat is now implemented in the mod.
-Hybrid rework.Hybrid units have been divided into three different types:First type is pure Skirmishers, they don’t have a cost penalty and act like normal missile units with penalties in melee stats (example: Dale Riverman).Second type is pure hybrid, they have a small penalty cost and very small melee penalties and they are listed as melee units although they have throwables (example: Mirkwood Raiders).Third type is “melee with missiles”. They have very low ammo amount compared to missile units, they don’t have any melee penalty and half the cost of their throwables is added to the cost of the unit (example: Pelargir marines)·Melee with missile types units now use precursor throwables so they won’t be able to exploit the javelin anymore during a melee engagement.·A lot of armour and shields entries have been changed across all faction’s rosters in order to match more accurately their visual to their armour type. A lot of shields and amour have been changed in both stats and costs.Spears have been strengthened a lot against cav. They now have the reflector trait which gives “expert charge defence”, they hold much better against charges, especially cavalry ones when bracing. All of them also have much more bonus vs cavalry which was previously only given by shield wall and therefore at a higher tier.
-Charge rework. Charge have been reworked for ALL infantry, is now higher across the board to have more satisfying and better performing charges across units. Shock infantry benefit the most from this change as they were nerfed during missile rework and removal of block chance for non-shielded units.
-Pike rework.Pike’s box has been changed in order to produce a more realistic behaviour for pike wall used by polearms and pikes. They are now slower and less deadly frontally. They are still able to win against the vast majority of the infantry frontally, however they can now be “overwhelmed” the more units works against a pike frontally, the more the change that the pike will lose. It will still do enough kills, but it won’t be an impassable wall anymore.·Orc onagers have their “head” projectile back.·
- Missile changes.oAll missiles muzzle velocity has been slowed down. This will produce a more realistic and higher arch when shooting. This will produce better results against units on walls, but also will give better change to fast cavalry to dodge arrows.oElves and rangers now perform better in accuracy. This was to counter the fact that elf and rangers usually have less men or inferior armour to other missile units, losing 1v1 engagements, however elf’s that had ranges over 200 are capped at 200 now, which is the longest range for missile units.oRanger spacing was also increased.oFire arrows deal more damage to siege equipment and structures in general.oAll horse archers perform better in accuracy. T3-T4 archers will be hybrid type 2 units.oRohan melee cav has a new spear throwable. Single use and precursor.
- Formations rework.Most formations has been rework across the board, both for infantry and cavalry.
- Sapper changes.Sapper explosion is less random, is more controllable, and makes the sappers die during the explosion, the explosions throws debris.·Resupplying from supply barrel now makes the unit unmovable and the unit itself needs to be much closer than previously. Siege ladders more slower, ram and siege tower move faster.
- Cavalry changes.oSpear cavalry is backoThe three cav types are now divided into:§Melee cav: More powerful than prior in dealing with infantry in prolonged melee fight§Spear cav: its not a shock anymore so it has less charge bonus (although more than melee cav) but it perform worse than melee cav against infantry, especially in prolonged melee fight. It’s the best at dealing vs other cav.§Shock cav: it’s the best at charges and its similar as it always was. It now cost more.
