Stack/Army flood preventer image - Third Age Total War Extended (4.0) mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms
This is an unofficial CONTINUATION for Third Age Total War, the classical Lord of the Rings Medieval 2 mod discontinued many years ago. It adds lots of new features, changes some existing ones and add many bug fixes. This unofficial release has no link to the original TATW mod creator, its a independent project. Though it uses the original mod as basis, and all credits are given to its original creators.
Thanks to EOP project we were able to implement a new improvement to the mod, the merging of nearby armies.
Basically it merges nearby AI army stacks in stratmap given certain conditions are present.
Bennefits are:
No more many small stacks spread in stratmap, proividing a more clean campaign view and gameplay with less armies around and less meaningless small battles happening all the time, increasing gameplay quality and immersion.
No more generals unprotected in small stacks
Improvement in turn times (game performance)
It wont merge armies if:
Army is inside settlement or fort
Army is participating in a siege
The two armies already have a general
Armies are more than 7 tiles distant
PS: Works for fleet too
