SFO, Radious or Vanilla

[Adeptus]

What do you prefer? I love the additional units and the overall "vibe" the mod (radious) has.

Im thinking about an SFO run. To change things up a little.

Edit: Appreciate u guys. I decided to continue with Radious. SFO just isnt my cup of tee.

[Rūshi]

Sfo has a lot of awesome changes but what killed it for me was income/recruitment cost. My entire campaing grinding to a halt because i need to spent 10 turns only recruiting units 2 at a time was not fun.

My personal preference would be Radious.

Not really sure what you're referring to, and I play with SFO all the time. You can recruit things and get armies going just fine.

I play as Daemons of Chaos right now (SFO Testrun) and i understand him. It usually cost me 2300+ Gold per Unit (Tier 2) Upkeep is high as hell too.

Radius for the units

[Malkavian]

I haven't tried radius, but i found SFO to be poorly balanced in WH2. So its been vanila for me ever since.

SFO all the way. Makes the game so much better. Radious I don't like. Everything is too much, too fast.

The answer to this is to just get better economy or more money from looting and sacking, in terms of chaos factions that IS the answer in SFO. You will be starved for passive income, especially at the start, you need to be proactive and finance your war machine with war itself. If your faction cannot earn a lot of income from settlements, this means you are supposed to raid and pillage. You cannot really play SFO like the Vanilla game, it's a bit different. Some people like it and some not.

Also small tip about SFO: many factions require synergistic effects to get a good settlement economy, so there is more thought put into planning your provinces than just building that one building that gives you gold.

SFO adds great lore friendly additions to certain races. The dwarfs for instance, get much enhanced building options. For me, this allowed the creation of a dwarf mountain trading empire. I wouldn't play Dwarfs without SFO until the dwarfs get a vanilla rework.

For other races, the changes can be more subtle.

The biggest downside of SFO for me is that it limits which other mods you can use as other mods may need a submod for compatibility with SFO.

Personal preference is key but I would easily recommend SFO with some other mods to add maybe some additional units to a few factions or legendary lords. SFO + MIXU + Legendary Characters is a decent base to build from.

SFO is crap the upkeep and recruitment is all wrong. (the rest of the mod is good)
Radious is great mod if you wanna something extra

How?

at "mid game" turn 50 you have like 3 a 6 armies AI have like 8 to 10 armies
you getting constantly attack do to this imbalance.

if SFO return economy back to Vanilla it would be much more popular mod.

This is dependend on the difficulty level the same way as it is in Vanilla.

try radiuos its fun. especially with them adding units to all armies

SFO is a bit more hardcore. Radious tends to be more soft core / casuals.
