08:37 Combat advantage got a massive rework. Attacking a fortified hill over a ford gives your opponents army +600% damage... so as you were only outnumbering your opponent 2:1, they still had the capability of dealing quadruple your armies total damage. Combat width also means that only a portion of the total troops can deal damage to each other per tick, mitigating numerical advantage even further.

Fun fact: Laith's estranged American uncle and cousin founded the mid 2010s pop duo LMFAO. Laith actually composed their second hit "Sexy and I Know It", but since he was only fourteen at the time, they wouldn't let him join the band. Unfortunately for Laith, but fortunate for the rest of us, they broke up before Laith was old enough to join.

A liege gets the option to either give into a faction's ultimatum, or declare war against the faction. Directly declaring war on your liege for your own independence means that you are the aggressor and therefore have to siege down your liege's capital.
@anisamir49464 сағат бұрын
Ohhh this seems like an oversight from the devs, i also realised it when declaring independence directly costs prestige or piety when you can just create a faction and send an ultimatum immediately

@KasaazКүн бұрын
Dissolution War and Independence War should really change the way it treats ticking War Score, for sure. It should probably scale on size too. The bigger the top liege is, the less they get. Or at least Distance-based.
@josh1072211 сағат бұрын
One of my biggest peeves is that if your liege tries to take a title or imprison you, and you choose war over submission, the game counts you as the aggressor rather than defender and you have to go siege his lands rather than defend your own
@Kasaaz5 сағат бұрын
@@josh10722 I always wondered if that is because it's needed to create the trigger for imprisoning / revocation. It does feel weird. I guess they don't have a system for wars where neither side is technically the aggressor.

Fun tip if you wanna ramp this up further: The great conqueror mod: it predates the conqueror trait but has the same premise. It still works in 1.13 and can stack with the conqueror and scourge of the gods and synergies in an unholy way if the stars align. Buffed mongols mod: Increases the power of the mongol empire when it begins overall. Has a difficulty slider and at maximum difficulty is INSANELY op.

Mhm, Chaos my favorite. This felt like another Burgundy situation where you are just another side story in the Ghurid annals. Also, female Ghenghis? That sounds even more horrifying than the vanilla one. I mean, she appeared and tried to murder the Ghurids. And she forced a white Peace with them. Totally badass woman. Imagine telling an empire you will fight them later. Aura 💯. This was fun. ☺️

Uhoh, guess laith didn’t check out the warfare changes. Basically combat advantage is now the most important thing when it comes to combat so you need to be very aware of the numerous things that go into calculating that and if you’re on the offensive you need to pick battles that you can actually win. Otherwise you need a massive numerical advantage and good MaA.
