Mass Effect Mod for vanilla and TT mod 1.5.28

Hi guys,

Notice that you cannot play in Multiplayer with following modifications

I think some of you would use it as i do.
Do a copy of your squads.csv in your you may find in something like :
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Field of Glory II\Data
then replace by the downloaded file

the one for TTmod is in something like :
C:\Users\Utilisateur\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\CAMPAIGNS\TT_Mod_CustomBattlesV1.5.28
and
C:\Users\Utilisateur\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\CAMPAIGNS\TT_Mod_CampaignsV1.5.28

Number of men :
1 chariot (no change)
3 elephants
7 cavs (non light)
12 foot (non light)
7 foot skirmishers
3 skirmishers cav

For vanilla :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/a93lsvgu1 ... s.csv/file

For TTMOD :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/n9uuzf71u ... s.csv/file

You can do it yourself directly on the CSV in less than 5 minutes (sorry for average english) :
do a search on 8,60,25 then select "replace all" by 12,60,25
do a search on 5,60,25 then select "replace all" by 7,60,25
do a search on 4,60,25 then select "replace all" by 7,60,25
do a search on 2,60,25 then select "replace all" by 3,60,25
for elephants it is better to do a research on "elephants" and change number from 1 to 3 manually (as chariots are also called "elephants", but you can search "1,60,38" to find them easily)

For unknow reason (i have french version don't know if it comes from it or not) there is a bug, the "8" replace by "12" became "13" when you launch the game or re open the file. So :
do a search on "13,60,25" then select "replace all" by "12,60,25"
=> And the bug disappear definitively.

I also get a vanilla "half cost" version for bigger battles, but you need to work in the ArmyList.txt to change limitations :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/lgc1li95y ... s.csv/file

=> Notice that it will result that you get 2x more units for "Field of glory Empire" battles. But using the ratio converter from 50% conversion to 150%, still work. I lower to 50% when i don't want bigger battles and sometimes push to 150% when it is a great decisive battle (but you need a PC who can handle it).

Another version with mass effect + texture size 40% lower :

for vanilla :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/lanziwujv ... s.csv/file

for TTMOD :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nxum9denu ... s.csv/file

And finally for vanilla : mass effect + half cost + texture 40% lower :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/r8pv4re7f ... s.csv/file

Also very easy to do it yourself directly on the CSV in less than 5 minutes :
do a search on ,,-1,0 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,600
do a search on ,,-1,900 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,540
do a search on ,,-1,930 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,558
do a search on ,,-1,1100 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,660
do a search on ,,-1,2500 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,1500
do a search on ,,-1,2550 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,1530
do a search on ,,-1,2600 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,1560
(some values, i think about "930" and "1100" are only in TTMOD, you will not find it in the vanilla CSV)

For example a 25% lower version would need those values :
do a search on ,,-1,0 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,750
do a search on ,,-1,900 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,675
do a search on ,,-1,930 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,698
do a search on ,,-1,1100 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,820
do a search on ,,-1,2500 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,1875
do a search on ,,-1,2550 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,1913
do a search on ,,-1,2600 then select "replace all" by ,,-1,1950

I also get a WIP on tier cost for TTMOD, with many armies reworked on ArmyList.txt, but i think it would need to go back to half cost, and for now i have no time (and get to find the file where i listed armies done...)

IMPORTANT

You absolutely must not follow the above advice if you ever intend to play MP.

Any mod whatsoever to the main build can mess up the synch of MP games. This include mods that only alter the number of models displayed in a unit.


Modding the TT Mod will have the same effect on TT Mod games. (Unless a different folder name is used, in which case players without the modded version will not be able to accept the challenge).
