Scales bandit raid frequency and size based on your total wealth (regional wealth + treasury) and army size. A gameplay mod for players who want raids to become more challenging as their empire grows. 79 endorsements, 7,216 downloads, updated October 2025.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Dynamic difficulty keeps late game from becoming a steamroll.
- Uses both wealth and army size for more nuanced scaling.
- Community-approved with 79 endorsements and 7,216 downloads.
- Updated October 2025, so recent compatibility.
⚠️ Cons
- No mention of scaling caps or limits—raids could become overwhelming.
- Only scales bandit raids; other threat types remain unchanged.
For players who find the game too easy once their economy and military grow. For strategy fans who want a passive difficulty curve without tweaking sliders. Skip if you prefer vanilla raid behavior or predictable late-game challenges.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Keep your treasury and regional wealth low early on if you want to delay harder raids.
- If raids get too intense, reduce your standing army size to lower raid frequency.
- Test on a short save first to gauge how quickly scaling ramps up.
