---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey folks,
It's time for another mod. This one adds three updates for all mob units. They can be unlocked via civil construction technologies. All the new units look different for each mob line.

Updated Units
  • Carthaginian Mob
  • Eastern Mob
  • Egyptian Mob
  • Greek Mob
  • Italian Mob
  • Roman Plebeians

Level 2 - Armed Mob
With this first upgrade mob gets a small round shield and a sling with short range like a skirmisher. Some of the units wear helmets but they are still using daggers. However, you are able to kill some weaker units with this upgraded mob.

Level 3 - Armed Militia
Most units now wear helmets and greaves. They fight with clubs, daggers and axes in melee and throw wooden javelins like skirmishers. With this upgrade the mob becomes a usefull defense unit and can decimate enemies that are in combat with allied units.

Level 4 - Townguard
The townguards wear chainmails, helmets and greaves, some of them wear cloaks. Noblemen of your cities pay for their equipment to gain security. They fight with swords or axes and throw javelins. Townguards are a valuable defense unit against other infantry.

After researching the necessary technology the upgraded unit will replace all mob units in every garrison.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update Febrary 2018
  • Town Guard (level 4) is available in custom battles for all greek factions and also for Romans, Etruscans, Egypt and Carthage
  • As soon as you unlock level 4 you will get an additional townguard in your garrison with every city/town centre or water building and with every religious building level 4 or 5. This should guarantee cities get growing garrisons with growing size.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compatibility

>>>Updated to work with and without the latest patch<<<

The Townguard is compatible with save games and most other mods. Issues might occur using mods that …
  • … remove mob or the ability to recruit mob
  • … replace garrison groups or add new garrison groups with mob
  • … change construction technology tree

If you find any issues write a comment below. A thump up is always fine to help other gamers finding this mod.

Does this mod need to be in the top or bottom of the load list? It won't work for me. Thanks in advance.

Srry if this has been asked, but I use a mod, Garrison Tripled, which does as you can imagine the name says. How would I edit the files to reproduce this same effect if this is possible at all in this mod? Srry, I am not a modder. If you have paypal link I'll donate!

Hi there. Big fan of this mod. Was wondering whether you can make it apply to Syracuse. They are Greeks and I thought it would apply to them but apparently it doesn't. Appreciate you taking the time to make this mod.

I totally disagree. You are free to set difficulty lower if you feel the game being too hard. But since AI is stupid and cannot act like players, even for a small challenge it needs several buffs. Buffs for players only is not at all what I want. However, this mod does not give AI any advantage. You can find enough mods in the workshop to lower difficulty.
Nor Dogroth  [author] Mar 22, 2021 @ 9:47am 
How did you come up with the idea that the mod should only work for players? Of course it works for AI too, I do not even know how it could not.
And no, I won't post all the stats here. There are other things I have to do. Currently I do not play Rome II at all and this mod is more than 3 years old. But you can check all the stats in game. I personally believe the description above is more helpful than any stats though.

Hello there! Your mod does not work with the AAA Generals mods unfortunately. Just pinpointed this one out of about 40 mods. I didn't expect it, considering this is a units mod kind of and the AAA ones only edit the generals I believe.. But they caused helmets to become dark grey and certain characters on the campaign map to stand in a jesus position. Really annoying,

Hey, since you updated the mod my game crashes at the loading screen.
I can start a new campaign without any problems though.
I'm not 100% sure if it's your mod tho but it's the only one that got updated recently of the mods that i use.

But if people who like mods express interest Creative Assembly may see the potential of investing in this.
Elliot_Ostrand Feb 22, 2019 @ 4:24pm 
This means their market is opened wider to people who have older or weaker computers. The problem is that if a bunch of games started to do this then software companies, like intel wouldn't sponsor creative assembly, who specifically helped make Rome 2, because, while creative assembly would make more money from all the games in the total war franchise and would make more money from buying the game that works as a dlc for each of the games, the problem for intel would be that people wouldn't be incentivized to buy a better computer, like I was. The only people that I could think of that would be incentivized to buy a better computer would be the people that wanted to make mods for the game.

I think the number one goal of Creative Assembly is to make money. However, if mod content became better than what’s in new games, some people would only play old games and Creative Assembly would lose money. If there were good mods for games on the other hand, more people would buy the games with good mods. One reason mods are great is that people with slower computers (I just got a gaming computer so it doesn't affect me) can still play a game and have new content.
