The direct question is: If I do not select the 'horse artillery' perk at the 1* level for ARTY units, then will I be able to select it (or something like it) at a later point?

Not directly, but there may end up being more ways to get speed other than just the current t1 and t3 perks. We are still limited by the number of perks that can be selected in the UI, so we can't add a third t3 perks that is horse artillery for example.

Eventually the perks will probably change significantly as a lot of the current decisions were based on the types and number of bonuses the game let us add to each perk.

It would be possible to make one of the combination bonuses give the same benefits as horse artillery. That's probably way more power than we are likely to put in those, but the system would easily support changing one of them to that.

What is emeerging now is not just The Rebalance Engine, but a practical interface for players to manage attributes in the Rebalance - primarily thru the documented configFiles. You gus have done some exceptional work.

Along these lines, we're hoping to have the entire perk system moved into config files in the next release. Will give us a lot more flexibility in designing them, and make it more convenient for anyone to make their own changes.

Some preview images below

The combination bonus values are all placeholders, but they will allow the selection of a lower tier perk to apply additional benefits when selecting a higher tier perk. In the current implementation, when a t1 perk is selected, the type of that perk will determine which combination bonus displays and applies.

The files will probably need an entire document explaining how they work once that system is finished.

Thanks for the in-depth explanation of Medicine. If I understand it correctly, Medicine increases the raw number of Veterans who retutrn to become available in the reinforcement pool - and that's a good thing. But it does not actually increase the value of the individual Veterans.

Not directly. But over the course of multiple battles it will end up having that result. Medicine helps retain the stats gained by a unit, which means when that unit takes casualties the men being added to the pools will have higher stats, which means you end up with better veterans.

35 minutes ago, dixiePig said:

Training does actually increase the combat value of new Recruits, but has little or no impact on the combat value of Veterans.

Again, it has an indirect impact in that the higher the stats of the unit, the better the veterans you end up with after the next battle. Additionally, If you end up leaving any men in the veteran pool, training will improve their stats as well assuming the pools stats are below the threshold where training applies.

Fiddling with the individual Experience Gain Modifiers gets pretty deep into the obscurity weeds, with values ranging from 7 to 2900. From a novice perspective I'd ask if we couldn't just have one experienceGainModifier value which would adjust each of the indidual values appropriately. If the base default value is 1, then experienceGainModifier, 1.2 would increase my likelihood of gaining xp by 20% across all of the values (killsPerEffectivity, killsPerMelee, movePerStamina, shootPerFirearms, timePerMorale). Or you could use some other mathmatical expression. I suggest being consistent whenever possible: s.a. higher numbers = more/better result.

These values apply in a lot of different places in the code so it's not convenient to add a generic modifier at the moment.

hmmmm ... The Veteran troops in the replacement pool are about as good as you're gonna get in terms of xp. I continue to disagree that adding Veteran troops to a 1* unit can actually result in any loss of xp. Just doesn't make sense. Nor is it 'received knowledge' within any military. XP must at least remain the same - if not improve.

Whether or not adding veterans increases or decreases the stats of a 1* unit will depend on the unit you are adding to. There is a wide gap in stats between a brand new unit with low stats commanded by an experienced officer that just barely has a star, and an experienced 1* that is nearly at 2* even with a mediocre officer. In the first example stats will usually go up, in the second they will likely go down unless the majority of your army is composed of such units and your veteran pool has stats to match.

Since the veteran pool uses an average of the stats of all men that go into it, all veterans that come out will have that average instead of some being exceptional and others poor.

With all due respect, I don't see what Medicine has to do with it (other than general well-being). Training should have some effect on everyone - of course. But no one in the real world has ever argued that a trained Recruit is anywhere close to a combat Veteran in terms of actual 'experience'.

When a unit takes losses, a percentage of those losses will go into the wounded pools with the stats of their parent unit at the end of the battle. If you have points in medicine, some of those men will return to the unit immediately, and more of the wounded pool will survive to return to your veteran pool.

Here are some simple examples showing how both medicine and training result in helping retain stat growth from battles.

Assuming:
A unit of 1000 men that has a stat go from 20 to 30 in a battle, and it takes 25% losses.
A recruit pool of 1000 men with a base stat of 10
A veteran pool of 100 men with a base stat of 20.
Medicine return numbers will be simplified to reduce the amount of math.

Example A with 0% return from medicine and no training:
750 men with a stat of 30. Add 250 recruits results in 1000 men with a stat of 25((750 * 30) + (250 * 10))
Veteran pool receives 30% of the 250 casualties. Results in a veteran pool of 175 men with a stat of 24.3
If 175 veterans and 75 recruits are used the result would be 1000 men with a stat of 27.5

Example B with 10% return from medicine and no training:
750 men with a stat of 30. Medicine returns 25 men with a stat of 30. Add 225 recruits with a stat of 10. Results in 1000 men with a stat of 25.5
Veteran pool receives 40% of the 250 casualties. Results in a veteran pool of 200 men with a stat of 25.
If 200 veterans and 50 recruits are used the result would be 1000 men with a stat of 28.8

Example C with 10% return from medicine and +5 stats from training:
750 men with a stat of 30. Medicine returns 25 men with a stat of 30. Add 225 recruits with a stat of 15. Results in 1000 men with a stat of 26.6
Veteran pool receives 40% of the 250 casualties. Results in a veteran pool of 200 men with a stat of 25.
If 200 veterans and 50 recruits are used the result would be 1000 men with a stat of 29

It's impossible in game for your recruits to be better than your veterans, but outside of the mechanics I'm not sure where the disconnect here is. Medicine helps make sure more of your veterans return to their unit after being wounded so their combat experience is not lost. Training improves the base quality of your recruits. The better your recruits, the better they are likely to perform in combat and the less detriment they will be to the veterans in their unit.

I see now that the 'experience Gain Modifiers' are all indirect. Can you provide some parameters for adjusting these values?

Note the below examples will not be 1:1 in game because there are diminishing returns the higher a stat gets. So for example, if it takes 225 kills to go from 0 to 1 efficiency, it could take 300 to go from 99 to 100. The below values are unchanged from 1.27.4.3, battles are just harder and less time is available.

killsPerEffectivity,225 : Efficiency goes up 1 for every 225 kills.
killsPerMelee,75 : Melee goes up 1 for every 75 kills
movePerStamina,1300 : Stamina goes up 1 per 1300 distance moved
shootPerFirearms,7 : Reload goes up 1 per 7 reload cycles completed
timePerMorale,2900 : Morale goes up 1 per 2900 time units in game.

Values used by the base game:

killsPerEffectivity, 150
killsPerMelee, 25
movePerStamina, 1000
shootPerFirearms, 5
timePerMorale, 1800

The mod also applies a portion of the shootPerFirearms to Stamina on every reload cycle completed.

BTW, PK> Is there such a thing as a 4* unit? If not, then aiMaxStat, 75 is redundant.

3* is the max. If you want to allow some 3*s but not face 100 stat units, or something else along those lines then higher values may be useful.

As noted before, the current version makes it tougher to gain xp in order to earn more * (adding Veteran reinforcements works to add stats to units with less than 1*, but is not very helpful after that). I'd rather to earn xp 'ogranically' thru battle anyhow. But - is there any configFile attribute which will increase my xp growth?

For higher xp units, their stats are rarely directly increased by veterans unless you are disbanding some other veteran unit. The stats go up for actions taken during a battle and then are often lowered as more men are added to the unit to make up for casualties. The better the quality of replacement, the less your stats are lowered. This is why using veterans and points in medicine or investing in training to improve your recruit stats are useful for more than 1* units.

In the unitModifiers file there is a section on Experience Gain. Reducing the values for any of those will result in units gaining xp faster.

Perhaps I can 'equalize' by fiddling with the config files (AIscalingExperienceMultiplier), but continue to suggest that the current game profile for the Union AI forces in 2ndBR is profoundly out of whack with the rest of the game up until this point. I do not know what the profile of Union AI forces is beyond 2ndBR.

I think the new aiMaxStat option may do more what you are looking for. This puts a limit on all stats for AI units, so if you set it to 25 you should never see a unit with more than one star. 50 two stars, 75 3 stars. The exact outcome will depend a bit depending on how good of an officer the AI unit has.

I did some quick tests and setting it to 50 on my legendary save reduced the AI to only 1 and 2 star units. Setting it to 70 resulted in more 2*s but still no 3s.

Just to compare I also checked AIscalingExperienceMultiplier set to .5 and saw all 1*s with a single 2*.

So I have a functioning 1.9.2 1.11 version of the game and can change the uiai folder and see results. I figured put how to use numbers. I now need an explanation on what each thing means. I get some of them like timer multiplier, but what about surrender and charge logic updates? And the melee morale routing and wavering, what will increasing them do, and what will decreasing them do? I hope you get what I'm asking because it's been so much fun since I've had it I have adhd and will forget to look for changes so it's hard to experiment myself. Thank you

The majority of the modifiers exist to allow the player to disable changes that have any balance impact. Some players prefer as close to a pure experience to the original game with only a few quality of life changes and bug fixes.

Below are some basic explanations of what everything does

Multipliers that increase the displayed timers and end of day time
timerMultiplier, 1
endOfDayMultiplier, 1

Enables or disables the fixed size curves so that adding men/guns always results in a net increase in damage with diminishing returns.
replaceSizeDegradationCurves, true

When enabled, rifled artillery will prioritize enemy artillery unless some other target is within a minimum range. Disabled by default because it makes smoothbores very hard to use.
improveArtilleryTargetting, false

Minimum and maximum multipliers to volley time when a unit is flashing white and sporadically firing. The max value was changed from 99 in the base game.
fireAtWillMin, 5
fireAtWillMax, 30

The melee damage penalty that applies to a unit when it is in contact with more than one enemy unit in melee. Base game value was .25
meleeMultiplePenalty, .45

When enabled removes the damage penalty that applied to infantry units when in fortificaions. In the base game fortifications let infantry units fire faster but deal less damage.
removeInfantryFortificationPenalty, true

Changes the way weapon recovery works for allied units. When enabled you recover more weapons from surviving men than from dead men. In the base game you wanted to get all of your allied units killed to recover more weapons.
enableSurvivingAlliesWeaponReturn, true

When enabled modifies surrender logic slightly so that it accounts for wounded officers. Also no longer requires that a unit have no nearby allies that are not routing to be able to surrender. Short version is surrenders are easier to get, but should feel a bit realistic.
enableSurrenderLogicUpdates, true

When enabled the AI better accounts for its stat advantages when determining if it should charge.
enableChargelLogicUpdates, true

When enabled adds a 5 minute cooldown for reattaching detached skirmishers. Helps limit a variety of the exploits frequently attaching and detaching allows.
enableAttachSkirmisherCooldown, true

When enabled shattered player units will show up in camp instead of all men and the officer being lost.
returnShatteredUnits, true

Modifiers to melee when a unit is in the routing and wavering state. Base game values were both .7. This helps reduce the damage that routing units deal when in melee.
moraleMeleeRouting, .5
moraleMeleeWavering, .65

When enabled allows you to use AISizeMultiplier to adjust the size of all AI units up or down.
enableAISizeMultiplier, false
AISizeMultiplier, 1

When enabled increases the size of player units somewhat in the tutorial battles for both sides. This makes them a bit easier as the community universally felt they were much harder than they needed to be and compared to other early battles.
modifyTutorialBattle, true

When enabled disables scaling entirely. AI unit sizes will only change based on difficulty and cross battle modifiers. Using AIsizeMultipier to adjust battles as you go is almost mandatory. As some battles become harder and some much easier. Many of the default sizes were setup under the assumption that scaling was applying, so AI units can be quite small at times.
disableScaling, false

I've never liked the way detached skirmishers behave like modern day special forces dropped behind enemy lines, running around completely devoid of any attachment to their parent unit, able to stand and trade volleys with brigades numbering thousands of men and laugh at death... its one of the absolute worst parts of the game.

I've also never liked the fact you can't split brigades down into its component regiments, and either use to cover a quiet flank better or micro manage a position. Like Jacksons brigade at the 1st Bull Run battle.

It seems to me there is a solution to both of these flaws in the game.

Have you considered replacing the detach skirmisher function with detach regiment or regiments(s)?

It's not possible to add the ability to split multiple children off of the parent.

Changing the unit type of the child that detaches is possible but is a mess from a technical perspective.

The ability of detached skirmishers to stand up to brigades should be significantly reduced compared to what has been possible in the past. When not near another non-detached unit, their morale regen is reduced significantly. Combined with their small size they are usually only able to exchange a handful of volleys before being driven off.

The tier 2 maneuver perk currently doubles the size of detached skirmishers, which is a step towards something similar to regimental detachment. This will probably get expanded upon in the future when the custom perk system is implemented.

Hi, I have the 1.11 custom. 1.9.2 version on a Mac that has the uiai configuration file. This mod sounds ds better because I don't know what the vales and thing are to edit the campaign how I want, so would I just verify the files, then download this one? Or do I just add it sortve? Idk much about computers I'm sorry

In the UI mod, the main configuration options that are usually changed are the following

timerMultiplier: use a larger value than 1 to increase the amount of time available in battles.
endOfDayMultiplier: use a larger value than 1 to increase the amount of time available in battles.

enableAISizeMultiplier: set to true if you want to adjust the size of AI units using the next value
AISizeMultiplier: use a value larger or smaller than 1 to adjust the size of AI units up or down.

The J&P mod has a lot more options, but also changes many more parts of the game. It is not compatible with the UI mod, but all of the UI mods features are already included in it. If you want to switch mods, just verify files and then follow the same installation process with the files for the J&P mod.

Did ye ever play Take Command 2nd Mannassas? That was a great game. The "Take the road" option was brilliant for moving troops and saving energy. Is that an option in this mod? Also the "move into column" button was good when moving troops too.

I have not but Jonny has. Unfortunately the only way to keep units on roads in this game is to manually draw the path along them. The roads are just painted onto the map and have nothing that could be used to enable that kind of pathing.

Units in the game automatically move into column when they are far enough away from enemy units and when given a movement target far enough away.

We've discussed adding a manual option, Jonny likes assault columns, but it's never ended up happening due to UI and balance reasons. Perhaps at some point.

Currently the AI is fairly uniformly AGGRESSIVE. Such aggression is a function of command decisions. Makes for tough battles. But enemy commanders are not always uniformly aggressive. Aggression can lead to rash decisions and uncoordinated attacks (thank goodness). Some commanders are more defensive - or careful - or methodical. Perhaps the 'profile' of the enemy AI commander(s) could be reflected in pre-battle 'Intelligence' (a function of RECONNAISANCE perk).

The AI general profile names would not really be helpful for the player to know in most cases. There are around 20 of them and I have useful information on the differences of maybe 2 of them. These can also change phase to phase within a battle.

In general, the AIs aggressiveness seems to be tied more to perks, weapons, and stat selections. I'm basing that off of restarting battles over and over and seeing significant differences in ai behavior. We do have some plans to generate templates which set ai units to favor one aspect or another. The perk optimization configs are a step in that direction to help us test.

No firm plans yet, but if that system is added the player will likely get some information on the type of personality they are facing with recon involved in some way.

Thanks for the clarification, PK. FWIW: In rare cases, sometimes units did actually remain 'engaged' overnight. Still, it would be nice if there were more graceful options for redeployment. Especially since the current hard reset often places units awkwardly - in a way which does not reflect the actual dynamics of the battle.

Yeah, it did happen it's just one of those no win scenarios where both forcing units to reset and not resetting them have scenarios that don't always make sense.

As far as I know the hard reset positions were all attempts to roughly reset the units into the historical positions at the start of the day. Though some were clearly more carefully crafted than others.

Does this effect behavior (i.e. a unit with stronger melee stat is likelier to charge?)

The AI charge logic does take perks into account, so if a unit ended up with all melee perks it would be more likely to charge.

These optimization values are currently disabled by default and very basic to allow for some testing.

I find it strange that systemic global reset of troop positions between phases/days doesn't cause problems itself, rather than the-other-way-around. My preference: Leave troop positions "as is" by default. Allow reinforcement in CAMP, if appropriate. Perhaps allow some re-positioning on map within limited range. PS: Staying in postion allows 'entrenchment'.

Speaking of which: an entrenchment attribute in configFile would be nice.

When positions are reset, all of the units on the field are cleaned up and then redeployed into specific locations. This avoids all kinds of problems like units no longer being on the map after it resized, new units spawning in on top of where the old units were, and a variety of bugs and exploits that can occur based on what the player does in camp. It also solves the issue of units being able to end the day in melee, camping overnight on top of the unit they are fighting, and waking up to resume the melee.

Repositioning like what grand tactician allows would be the dream, but also wildly outside of anything I can mod in.

I'm not sure what you mean by an entrenchment attribute. The mod does have a dig in feature where units that stay near the same spot can build up a cover bonus. Indicated by their unit flag slowly gaining the white fortification outline. These values are not currently configurable. While carrying this over day to day would be nice, its a pain to do on the technical side and in most cases units would have time to regain their bonus before engaging enemy units.

Changelog Highlights

- A Major General Light difficulty is now available. When starting a new campaign and selecting MG difficulty, a prompt will show up prior to entering your name.
This difficulty is the same as MG except the AI units will be smaller and less experienced. This should be closer to playing MG in the base game or in earlier versions of the mod.
- AI weapons quality throughout the campaign has been standardized to be closer to what is used on legendary.
- All config files have been reorganized and comments have been added in the files to indicate what values do.

- Bugfixes and minor balance changes.

-Save game compatible.

Because

AO Level: 3 only gives you another Corps which adds nothing of value and is ... utterly useless

SOLUTIONS:

AO Level: 3 gives you another Division (1 Corps / 3 Divisions / 4 Brigades : 12 units)

AO Level: 4 gives you another Brigade (1 Corps / 3 Divisions / 5 Brigades : 15 units)

AO Level: 5 gives you another Division (1 Corps / 4 Divisions / 5 Brigades : 20 units)

AO 3 doesn't give you another corps. AO gives +1 corps at 1, 7, and 10. You're probably seeing the increase from the bull run battle reward which gives +1 corps. The CSA side doesn't care, but the union cares quite a bit about having 2 corps for Shiloh.

Swapping the brigade and the division from AO 3 to 4 doesn't change much, you get to bring one extra officer to bull run as the union and the csa get to wait one extra battle before going from AO 3 to 4.

But it also doesn't cause any problems and the progression is a little smoother so why not. Will be in the next patch which should be out soon.

I shall try the "-50" modification. By way of context; What is the realm for stats (i.e. "That's -50 out of 200 at 1stBR" or "You start with 100 and usually gain about [x] in minor battles and [y] in major battles. ") Is there an absolute threshhold?

Unit stats go from 1-100. It is possible for stats to go above 100 behind the scenes, but 100 is the cap at any point these are used for any kind of combat purpose.

The stats of ai units don't carryover between battles like the players. Ai units have preset stats for every battle. These get adjusted up or down based on the difficulty and the current recon report training value.

Sorry - does not compute. The default aiconfig file value is "historicalSouthSizeMultiplier, 1". Are you saying that the default state is that all southern ai unit's stats are increased by a full point? My challenge is: How does one reduce the stats on all enemy AI units?

You are getting confused between two different config values that function differently.

historicalSouthSizeMultplier has a default value of 1 because it multiplies the size of all allied or ai CSA units by 1.

historicalSouthAddStat has a default value of 0 because it modifies the stats of all allied or ai CSA units by adding 0.

If you wanted to reduce the stats of CSA ai units you could use a value like -50 for the historicalSouthAddStat to subtract 50 from each of their stats.

JV>By its label aiScalingsizeMultiplier should change the size of all ai units (both enemy and allied)

As I believe is mentioned in the guide and I've mentioned before this applies to all ai units only. This does not include allied units as those are not controlled by the ai. From a technical perspective this value applies during scaling which is a process that allied units do not go through.

29 minutes ago, dixiePig said:

historicalsouthsizemultplier shoulchange the size of only southern ai units

This modifier applies on unit spawn rather than during scaling. This allows it to apply to custom battles which do not go through scaling. It also allows it to apply to any unit not part of the player army. This includes allied or ai units of the relevant side.

historicalSouthAddStat to 0.5, which should weaken the AI CSA forces considerably.

Unlike the other values which are multipliers this is an additive value. So .5 is increasing all ai unit's stats by half a point.

aiScalingsizeMultiplier and historicalsouthsizemultplier both change the size of ai units when playing union bull run. There is no need to use both of them.

You may want to try resetting both files to their default state if you are seeing weird behavior. Then try changing the size multiplier to verify that is working before reapplying any other changes you have.

The historical north/south would apply to allied units though, so maybe you had one of those was active and that is why it appeared that the ai scaling values were affecting allied?

Has anyone played Union Legendary on the new mod? I'm stuck at 1st Bull Run,can only get a draw due to getting blitzed by the reinforcements at the end.

The key to this is getting into a good enough position prior to those reinforcements arriving. This usually means you want to have the majority of your units across the river, the VP in your possession, and hopefully with a little time to setup your defensive line and rest while cleaning up the remnants of whatever CSA units are left from the earlier phases.

Preserving your condition through all of this tends to be the hard part since early union stats are terrible. One trick, that was a bit of an oversight and might get fixed in the future, is that you want to trigger the 2nd phase pretty early. This is the opposite of older versions where you wanted to avoid triggering it as long as possible to get into position to rush across the river.

The reason for this is that the extra time from the first phase is now added to the timer in the second phase. This was done so that accidentally triggering the phase early didn't result in a large time loss. But what it enabled is that you can trigger it early to spawn your reinforcements sooner and give them more time to walk over to the objective and then rest before crossing.

You can still win the old way, but it's much much harder. Took me probably a dozen attempts to get it right when I was testing.

This is on MG but the core ideas should generally work on legendary as well https://youtu.be/5IBIQQCKKc0

These are a not quite the current version but forefall has a partial legendary campaign as well. Important to note that he ended up with one of the easiest versions of legendary I've ever seen due to a few things that I've since patched. So while a lot of this is still valid it's probably not possible to get as good of results anymore. https://youtu.be/VPmVKwplK2I

Hope that helps, if you have more questions please ask.

The J&P mod is on 1.28.3 and is not compatible with the customizations mod. J&P already includes everything in customizations.

So if you installed both I'd reinstall the one you want to be using and then modify the config files in the respective mod folder. There should be a separate one for rebalance and for customizations.

For editing the files I'd recommend trying to open them in a text editor instead of a spreadsheet program. There have been problems with excel and such adding extra characters that break the file.

When is the next update supposed to drop, is there any ETA regarding it? So far, I gotta say the mods for this game really make it way better! Mainly in terms of replay value.

Nothing major in the works at the moment unfortunately, just haven't had time. There is a small patch with a variety of bug fixes and additional config options that is coming soon. It's available as a test version on the discord, but I'm still trying to track down a few more bugs before it goes to release.
