Hi all!! A few weeks ago I asked here how you wanted your infantry to fight ( old post ). The top answer by far was "make them hold the line", so that's what I built. It was called Better Infantry AI back then, now it's Hold the Line , and it's out as a beta. Available in Nexus Mods. What it does: No more moshpit: soldiers keep their place in the line and step in and back a little instead of turning into one big blob. AI formations that make contact switch to a charge, so both sides fight the same way. Shields in the front rank: shield and spear first, then other shields, then spears and pikes, then everyone else. Works in shield walls too. No more falxmen eating javelins and arrows in the front while the shield guys wait in the back. Rear ranks fight with spears: the second rank thrusts past the guy in front instead of hitting their back and getting stunned. AI spearmen also keep the spear out more instead of always pulling the sidearm. Deep format...
I noticed that Swadia and Sarranid (relations 65) has not gone to war with each other forever. Same with Rhodoks and Khergits (relations 50), Rhddoks and Vaegirs (relations 40). I discovered that usually after two factions are at 0 for some time, they will go to war. Defense, trade, non-aggression pacts will increase the relations, but then will degrade down to 0 as the pacts expire. But the Swadia-Sarranid and Rhodok-Khergit and Rhodok-Vaegir relations have not changed in forever (currently nearing 700 days) -- they're merely at peace. What affects those numbers? I'm hoping for a three-front war so I can sneak in some sieges without getting counter-sieged immediately, but that seems unlikely with these kingdoms.
Using Diplomacy.
