Stellaris+ [Armies & Attachments Module] v1.8

Update №33.

This is unofficial update of Stellaris+ [Armies & Attachments Module] by Wolin. Unfortunately, the author of the original mod for a long time not updated, so I had to take matters into my own hands.

It is standalone mod.

In addition to the update of the following changes have been made:
- Armoured Division and Mech Squad(now Brigade) were returned to unoffical update. Mech Brigade requires Planetary capital or Empire capital-complex on planet. A planet can build a maximum of 6 Mech Brigades. Ascended synthetic empires have analogues of these armies;
- alien species in synth empires are called only as Legion of Cyber-Thralls;
- Robotic and Android armies require policy to resolve artificial intelligence. They can no longer use attachments, that, according to the laws of logic, are suitable only for living beings;
- some armies have exclusive attachments;
- replaced by a couple of icons for Attachments;
- replaced most of army icons (my art ©) - icons for each armies;
- light rebalance the planetary defense - at 100% fortification, divide damage to defending armies by 4, at 0%, full damage, without multiplying;
- Increased garrison health;
- added russian localization;
- a radical rebalance of primitive armies - for example Post-Atomic Army have 35k health;
- exclusive army tree path for player hivemind empire.

ATTENTION - After update №32 If you play for hivemind with old save - at you in a current of month begin to disappear standard vanilla armies - nothing can be done about it, will have to recruit new armies from mod. I honestly tried to make a trigger for automatic change of standard armies to armies added by me, but completely failed in this matter.

Planetary invasion is a heavy complex of measures.

Top screenshot (the value may be slightly different) is shows the damage and health of armies in mod.

For a more visual display of new icons of armies (some icons do not fit in a standard round) - I HIGHLY recommend the following mod:
C-Interface-Revenge of the quadrate

Compatibility:

Compability patch for AlphaMod 1.6 : !Stellaris+[A&AM] PATCH: AlphaMod - outdated

Compability patch for Machinery of Empire : !S+[A&AM] PATCH: Machinery of Empire - 1.8

Compability patch for Guilli's Planet Modifiers : !S+[A&AM] PATCH: Guilli's Planet Modifiers - these two mods and so are completely compatible, simply raises characteristics of Guilli's armies - 1.8

Compability patch for ( Stellaris+ ) Evolved : !Stellaris+[A&AM] PATCH: ( Stellaris+ ) Evolved - outdated

Patches for Stellaris+ Evolved and AlphaMod(or his separation Machinery of Empire) are not compatible with each other, as well as mods itself.
Patch for Guilli's Planet Modifiers are compatible with all.

This mod uses additive files but replaces some vanilla stuff for balance purposes, the files replaced are:

common\armies\00_armies.txt
common\army_attachments\00_army_attachments.txt
gfx\interface\planetview\army_icon.dds
interface\icons.gfx

In file "00_defines.txt" change the values of damage, morale, maintenance and hp for the armies, size of garrisons (will always be at least 4 garrison), dimensions of planetary fortifications, bombardment parameters*.

* - You can relatively safely use the mods that change only orbital bombardment - there should not be special nocompatibility. Mods, that change only lethality of bombardment for the population are fully compatible.

If you like the mod, go to page of original Stellaris+ [Armies & Attachments Module] by Wolin.

Future plans:
- reduction of morale damage
- adding icons for each type of species (this is if developers will go for such a change in engine)
