Hello,
Greetings and salutations! Here's another untested mod without a descriptor. Again I can create one if and when I get the time. It's a Game of Thrones friendly mod of Steam Workshop mod --- Here's the description of the Steam Mod. My adjustments were to eliminate the tech stuff and tweaked so it won't do stuff that AGOT cannot do. Another than that, I was thinking of what if scenario say....dragons and what people may do to counter. We had canon attempts to recreate dragons mechanically (think Aegon IV's pathetic attempts) and we had TV Qiburn with his bull-nanny. (I hate Season 8 as a fan, a writer, a professor and a middle school Special Ed teacher!) So I thought experiments with wildfire might lead to....this....Granted even the most powerful cannon WILL NOT equal an adult dragon or maybe even a young adult but it will provide an off-set (sort of) to those players who want to play the mod after the Targaryens and their Dragons or as House Stark, the Daughters or Yi Ti (the Chinese in our world were first on the ball with this). Anyhoo....have fun. Again I'm new to modding. I HOPE this works, if not and you know how to edit. Lemme know I'll give permissions to the folder and hey an improvement will help us all right?
Any way all credit for the original Steam Design of this Mod goes too...... Delnar_Ersike's Workshop
And now what it does (direct copy from Steam)
Description:
==============================
This mod adds Hand Gonners and Bombards as new special units, adds retinues and buildings that enable Hand Gonners and Bombards to be fielded, and changes tactics to allow Hand Gonners and Bombards to be integrated with armies.
Hand Gonners are effectively Archers that cost twice as much to maintain, but have twice as much morale, three times as much skirmish attack, and three times as much skirmish defense. They are meant to be the hands-down best Skirmish unit in the game per individual unit, but cost a lot to maintain and provide no real tangible improvement in Melee and Pursue phases for their increased cost.
Bombards are effectively the Skirmish equivalent of War Elephants: they have identical stats as War Elephants, but have their Skirmish and Melee stats exchanged (i.e. Bombards' Skirmish stats are the same as War Elephants' Melee stats and Bombards' Melee stats are the same as War Elephants' Skirmish stats).
Generic Hand Gonner retinues are available for everyone with Siege Tech 6 or higher. They have the exact same composition as the unmodded generic retinues, but use Hand Gonners instead of Archers and give bonuses to Hand Gonner offensive and defensive instead of to Archer offensive and defensive. Yes, the higher maintainenance cost of Hand Gonners means that they are more expensive to maintain than Archer-based retinues for the same troop count, this is intentional. Han cultural characters also get access to a Hand Gonner version of their cultural retinue called the Chongbing that is available with Siege Tech 5. As an aside, the Chongbing retinue's Pikeman offensive and defensive has been increased to match that of the generic Defence retinue.
Bombard retinues are available for everyone with Siege Tech 6 or higher, though characters with Han culture get access to them at Siege Tech 5. They are composed of 150 Pikemen and 20 Bombards, give +10% Pikemen offensive, and give +30% Pikemen defensive.
All holdings that have buildings that add Archers to the holding's levy now also have buildings that replace those Archers with Hand Gonners. In general, these buildings require Siege tech 6, 7, or 8 depending on their level and have levels that correspond with that holding's Archer-providing building. They cost the same amount of time and money to build as their corresponding Archer-providing building at that particular level and require that said corresponding Archer-providing building be built at a given level before they can be upgraded to that same level (so indirectly, they also require the construction tech of their holding). At maximum level, Hand Gonner-providing buildings will have replaced all Archers provided by both generic Archer-providing buildings and the base value of their particular holding, though archers provided by cultural buildings and/or steppe-specific buildings will still remain. Do note that while Han cultural characters get Hand Gonner versions of their cultural retinue, they do not get Hand Gonner versions of their cultural Castle building; this is intentional.
Due to a bug that is in Crusader Kings 2 as of v2.8.3.2, holdings can only properly process one special unit type in their levy at a time. As a result, buildings that add hand gonners to a holding's levy can only be built if none of the buildings that provide other types of special units in the unmodded game have been built. Should such buildings be built at a later time, the hand gonner-providing buildings will disable themselves.
All terrain-based combat modifiers (e.g. attacking over a river, defending mountains, etc.) that apply to Archers have been duplicated to apply to Hand Gonners with one exception: in Jungle terrain, Hand Gonners get penalties just like Horse Archers instead of getting bonuses like Archers do. In addition, terrain-based combat modifiers for War Elephants and Camel Cavalry are missing from the base game (so e.g. Camel Cavalry wouldn't get hit with a massive penalty for an amphibious attack), so they have been added in as well: War Elephant modifiers are duplicates of Heavy Cavalry modifiers, while Camel Cavalry modifiers are duplicates of Light Cavalry modifiers. Bombards get the same terrain-based penalties as War Elephants in cases where they get penalties and get the same terrain-based bonuses as Hand Gonners otherwise.
Tactics have been updated so that with the exception of Massive Longbow Volley, all tactics, cultural and generic, that require or process Archers in their triggers, probability modifiers, and/or effects now also process and/or affect Hand Gonners in the same manner. Note that this processing happens by effectively adding the percentage composition of Archers and Hand Gonners, so e.g. a tactic that previously required minimum 30% Archers among light troops can now trigger if light troops are made up of minimum 30% Archers, 25% Archers and 5% Hand Gonners, 20% Archers and 10% Hand Gonners, 15% Archers and 15% Hand Gonners, 10% Archers and 20% Hand Gonners, 5% Archers and 25% Hand Gonners, or 30% Hand Gonners.
Bombards gain the same bonuses and penalties as Hand Gonners in every tactic, but they do not contribute to any tactic's triggers or modifiers.
The following changes were also made to tactics that do not directly affect Hand Gonners or Bombards:
Barrage and Confused Orders tactics now work off of a setup of additive percentages for their triggers and probability modifiers between Archers, Horse Archers, and Hand Gonners. They used to process Archers and Horse Archers separately, so an army with them mixed together at compositions just below the appropriate thresholds would not end up getting the appropriate triggers and/or probability modifiers triggered.
Harass, Disorganized Harass, Harass Swarm, Raid, Charging Own Skirmishers, and Heroic Countercharge tactics now work off of a setup of additive percentages for their triggers and probability modifiers between Light Cavalry and Camel Cavalry. They used to process the two separately, so an army with them mixed together at compositions just below the appropriate thresholds would not end up getting the appropriate triggers and/or probability modifiers triggered.
Clever Ambush and Desert Ambush tactics now work off of a setup of additive percentages for their triggers and probability modifiers between Light Infantry, Light Cavalry, and Camel Cavalry. They used to process the three in an odd hodgepodge, where triggers would perform additive percentages for Light Infantry and Camel Cavalry separate from Light Cavalry, but probability modifiers would perform additive percentages for Light Cavalry and Camel Cavalry separate from Light Infantry.
==============================
Compatibility:
==============================
This mod is not compatible with any mod that adds new special units, changes technology effects in any way, changes static modifiers in any way (i.e. modifiers that are always present as a function of some variable, e.g. bonus gained per Stewardship point, health effects depending on age category, combat modifiers depending on terrain, et al.), changes any of the tactics present in the unmodded game, or adds new tactics through modifying the 00_combat_tactics.txt file instead of adding a new file.
Due to the way holdings process special units in their levies, there is mixed compatibility with mods that add buildings to holdings that add horse archers, camel cavalry, or war elephants or that change buildings to add those
