Mod Request - Removing Events With Militia

[quantum_mechani]

Well if you already have the militia costing 800 rec, then making them 0 gold should be fine, if odd.

Upkeep is recruit cost times 1/15 or 1/30 for sacred units.

Keep in mind that increasing the resources that an independent costs to such an extreme number causes queue backups in the AI fortresses where indies can be recruited. My guess is that it does the same thing in provinces without fortresses too. The result is that the AI will build a half way decent army at the beginning of the game, that army will get smashed then the AI struggles to recover the entire game. Basically, the AI is much weaker with the independent units being fixed in such a manner.

Can we get KO to create new unit IDs for the militias? Ideally, recruitable units from independents should not be the same with unit IDs coming from national recruitables and events. This would allow the modders more control and resolve the workarounds for Better Independents mod.

I remember KO mentioning that the artwork for militia, slinger and light calvary units from MA Man needing a color change anyway...

Even better if we could get modding for events... where map makers could create timed events as well as moddifying existing events.

[ryo_akashi]

I'll put my chances with unit ID changes, since the event modding will most likely fall under JK's plate

[Edi]

I've requested that a separate new unit ID militia be created for events so that it can be modified without screwing up recruitment. The answer to that was a 'maybe', but wasn't on the cards at that time. This thread is a good indication that I'm far from alone in regarding the issue as a problem even though it is not a bug.

Perhaps we will get this in a patch. Then again, perhaps not.

little out topic but..
Is there another way to make enemy AI's be more like nations instead of mages + indy militia chaff? Other than to crank up the res cost.

Instead of changing their price, make them extremely old. They'll be dropping like flies in no time. Like so:

#selectmonster 30
#maxage 1
#end
