📋 About This Mod
I mod total war games since 2005 and Rome Total War 1. I like to balance the game to my liking, making it somewhat harder in some aspects, and more real in other aspects. After 10 years this is first time I actually decided to upload
NEW! Update 1. 4! Changes are located in "Articles" section!
NEW! Update 1. 3! ( I will post patch notes here, and after every patch notes you can find main description of the mod. All information is below!)
Three Kingdoms Patch 1. 3 This update focuses on ENTIRE unit rebalance! All information below:
- Lowered unit HP, so one soldier has 500 HP
- Increased Hero HP by a lot due to missiles being really strong now, in order to prevent hero focus with 10 archer units.
- Heroes have around 75000 HP to 125 000 (depending on type) Vanguards have most and strategists have least.
Exact numbers:
Vanguards: 125 000 Hp
Sentinels: 110 000 Hp
Champions: 100 000 Hp
Commanders: 90 000 Hp
Strategists: 75 000 Hp
Number of men per unit has changed:
Light Units --> 75 men --> 100 men
Light Cavalry --> 80 men --> 90 men
Medium Units: --> 125 men -->150 men
Medium Cavalry --> 100 men --> 110 men
Heavy Units --> 250 men --> 200 men
Heavy Cavalry --> 120 men --> 130 men
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Tower damage balanced around missile changes (they have more damage butt hey fire a lot slower)
- Same with hero arrows (maximum hero bow damage is 2500 with unique weapons)
- Fixed a bug where not all ranged units had 2 ammunition.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Armour Values Redone:
Segmented heavy armor = 65 armor
Segmented light armor= 40 armor
Leather armor = 20 armor
Cloth armor = 10 armor
Segmented heavy cloth = 50 armor
Shield Values Changed:
- Shield defense value buffed a bit (5%)
- Shield missile block chance nerfed (15%)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upkeep Redesign:
Light tier units: 7 gold per person --> since light units have 100 people = 100 x 7 = 700 upkeep per light unit
Medium tier units: 15 gold per person --> since medium units have 150 people = 150 x 15 = 2250 gold per unit
Heavy tier units: 25 gold per person --> since heavy units have 200 people = 200 x 25 = 5000 gold per unit
Recruitment Cost Redesign:
Heavy tier units: 65 gold per person --> 65 x 200 = 13000 gold per unit
Medium tier units: 45 gold per person --> 45 x150 = 6750 gold per unit
Light tier units: 30 gold per person --> 30 x 100 = 3000 gold per unit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Economy Rebalance:
- Due to higher upkeep and recruitment costs, economy is more re-balanced to give more gold, but not much!
The idea is to „earn“ heavy and best warriors, not just gain them at 50th turn!
- Flat economy values are not changed, but % gain is hugely increased (especially for cities).
For example:
Level 10 city gives you 1000% increase to commerce income in that province. So it is actually worth investing into max level city.
- Tons of tweaks on other % increase for industry/trade/p
