But knights don't use axes in dominions, they use broadswords.

So a giant with lesser training is cheaper than a normal human with more training?

No, bigger units have a higher baseline cost. Are you just trolling here?

Thanks. I have to agree. I meant a slightly different thing with the name than let's say the CBM use of the word. I was also debating the name of the mod with myself until the very end of making the banner.

I'll fix that today and post that. Sorry about the confusion. I feel the not-quite-well-thought-out name caused much needless drama.

I guess "realism mod" in all it's pretentiousness will give people the right idea?

And thanks for the support :)

This is true, but the weapons are the basis of nation mods as well. This makes it more fun, at least for me, to create nations with more varied weaponry.

I'm going to want to make a late age (and early age) version of the Independent Kingdom mod for instance, and now that you mention it, axe armed heavy cavalry sounds like something I should try ;) ...not to mention anti-heavy-armour troops using hammers.

The Sonnenkinder mercs are quite interesting under this mod. Their effectiveness is mostly unchanged, but the anti armour weapons can come handy occasionally.

There we go. Name shortened to Adept's Mod to avoid confusion. v 1.10 should be definite now, unless somebody finds and reports a bug.

If somebody can tell mow how to change the name of the thread, I'll fix it there as well.

First press edit, in the edit window there is a button named "go advanced" next to the save button, press that and you can edit the title of teh thread.

Hmm, I think I missed out something obvious when doing this.

Currently I think that the price of hiring militia should be dropped from 7 to 5 gold. That way it would actually be worth it sometimes to get militia instead of properly trained infantry. Currently militia is just practically never worth the purchase and the upkeep.

i've longed for the pivotal moment when militia rush would become a viable strategy
