📋 About This Mod
Mod version 1. 0. 1 is bugged and does not work. Use 1. 0. 2 instead. See comment section for details.
Sometimes it can feel like no matter how often you completely wipe out the enemies armies they come back almost instantly at the same strength. It can feel like your victories have no effect on the war.
The reason for this is, that the AI lords get a large amount of free instant elite troops when they are released from capture.
This mod reduces the amount of free troops the AI gets to 6-12 tier 2 and 3 basic infantry troops. They still need a small force because otherwise the AI lords get captured a lot by bandits. But this means it takes the AI longer to come back after a defeat. It also makes recruits a bit more rare because the AI has to recruit a lot more troops.
Overall this mod should make single battles more decisive and efficient use of your troops more important. Basically it reduces the amount the AI can cheat.
The mod only changes certain party templates through XML transformations (XSLT) so should be compatible with most game versions, savegames and mods.
True Parties reduces the free elite troops AI lords receive when released from capture, making victories more decisive. It changes party templates via XML transformations for broad compatibility. Version 1.0.1 is bugged; use 1.0.2. Has 271 endorsements and 34,944 downloads.

- Since it uses XML transformations, it should work with savegames, but test on a backup save first.
