Conquest Rebalanced v2.3 - AI Rebalance + New Units

• This mod changes what the AI chooses to deploy in conquest: The AI will buy much less artillery and will instead deploy more tanks, infantry, anti-tank/anti-air guns and mortar teams. Battles will become more intense -- make sure you bring supply units!
  
  
• Adds new over 60 new infantry squads to Conquest: a mix of Early and Late squads for USA, GER, USSR both for players and the AI
  
  
• Adds vehicles to USA, USSR + Germany including (Late) models of AT guns (better ammo), snowmobiles, beutepanzer and more
  
  
• Introduces a small probability of the AI spawning supply and engineering units that you can capture
  
  
• Gives the AI a selection of "tank squads" that it can deploy and use. You will see formations of 2-4 tanks/SPGs moving and fighting together. The AI still has individual tanks to buy as well.

*Not the US because the US has no early option




New vehicles:

• Sdkfz 10/5 (with hull armour) for Germany

Other changes:

• Air Supply!: In addition to off-map artillery and airstrikes, players now have access to off-map air-dropped supplies. GER+USSR+USA now have access to air dropped small arms, munitions and explosives that can be used to turn the tide of battles and strengthen weaker infantry units.
  
• Campaign length is now GONE -- all campaigns are now set to 'long' difficulty and the player now controls the start date only. This will hopefully fix the problem of 1944 and 1943 start dates leading to artificially short campaigns.
  
• Conquest nations and map selection is now fully unlocked -- you can play as USA vs USA or play as the Soviets on Liberation maps. Many, many thanks to Coopy for allowing me to integrate his excellent mod into this one.

The campaign length feature in particular is highly experimental. I expect players will find problems and I encourage you to report them as best you can -- if it's a crash, ALWAYS include the last bit of your log file.

This mod sets defense mission preparation time to 10-13 minutes by default. If you want to change this, please do this:

• Open the mod directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\400750\3167249047
  
• Open resource/script/multiplayer/modes/conquest.lua (Don't be scared, all you need is notepad)
  
• Change "StartSpawnTime". This sets how long the AI will wait before deploying units (in miliseconds). The first numbers (10, 13) are how many minutes the bot will wait.:
  -- Bot is attacker AttackMin = 10 * 60 * 1000, AttackMax = 13 * 60 * 1000,

For those of you that prefer to play without new conquest units, you can use the Legacy Edition. This version only rebalances the AI's unit purchases, nothing else.

If you want to play as Finland, I strongly recommend downloading both this mod AND Sandels' Finland Overhaul mod that adds lots of new units and voicelines to the game that make it much more authentic and immersive. The two mods work well together, and I will try to keep them working together in future.

This mod will either not work with, or ruin the experience of any mod that adds new units (e.g. Valour, MACE or CE). Use this mod at your own risk!

In testing, I have found that this mod works with:

• Finland Overhaul Mod (Use this to play as Finland!)
  
• Arrows Infinite Mod
  
• Unlimited Corpses Mod
  
• Liberated Nations Mod
  
• Various cosmetic/texture mods like the excellent Finland Camo/Texture Mod

Users have reported that this mod does NOT work with:

• CE (Conquest Enhanced)
  
• German Reskin Pack - War Over Europe

This mod changes the file inside the game that the AI uses to decide what to buy during Conquest. Here are a few lines from the game's original settings:
This mod knocks the 'priority' figure down to 0.1 for all cannons, and between 0.1-0.5 for self-propelled artillery pieces. In testing (mostly against a US AI) this forces the AI to spend much more on frontline units. I also increased the priority values of most frontline units to really push the AI to stop wasting so much money on cannons.

If you want to set your own figures for the AI to follow, it's quite easy to find and adjust these figures yourself. Make a copy of the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call to Arms - Gates of Hell\resource\gamelogic\script\multiplayer and then pack them into a mod following this guide.

This mod also changes the wait times for the AI. You now have about 3 minutes at the start of an attack mission before the AI will start to send reinforcements. Defense missions also have a slightly longer wait time for the AI.

I took inspiration from Sir Johan's Latewar Infantry mod for the v2.0 update which introduced a large number of Earlywar and Latewar infantry squads. Since then, I have also added missing tanks, anti-tank guns, artillery pieces, trucks, snowmobiles and tractors for players to use. I have also given squads small arms and grenades that exist in the game files but are missing in vanilla, like the 'Hawkins' AT mine and GGP/40 rifle grenade.

Some squads have been put together using historical TO&E info rather than being copied from MP, so they might play a little differently to other GOH squads.

The AI has access to tank squads of 2-3 vehicles that it can deploy. These armoured groups will move and fight together, giving the player an extra challenge especially on the offense.

• Thanks to Georider for his excellent Panzer I desert skin
  
• Special thanks to the people on the GOH Discord #modding channel -- without the help of users like Mine_Detector, KapitanSWAT, MrCookie and others, this mod would never have got off the ground.
