Supply and Demand

“The line between disorder and order lies in logistics…” – Sun Tzu

This mod is simple but adds complexity. By implementing a rudimentary supply Meta-game into the campaign, it adds a new layer of depth that promotes a more strategic way of thinking. Depending on the "Stance" "Situation" and "Location" of your army you will now pay different upkeep costs and recruitment costs as a direct result. With careful management of forces you can now save money on your stacks to help support the building of more stacks to better stop the AI from back capping all game. If "Garrisoned" or "Encamped" for Horde factions, upkeep and recruitments costs are reduced. Raiding your enemies lands to steal income now also helps to sustain the army doing it resulting in a bigger net income for the action. To compensate, armies in enemy lands cost more to upkeep (unless pillaging) with sieges being even more expensive. This makes raiding, camping, garrisoning etc an essential part of your economy, now the Stance system can properly reward or punish you for army positioning in the way that matters most. Your Treasurey. This adds a sense of urgency to conflicts that they didnt have before. Sustained wars with multiple sieges and forces out of country can easily outpace your capacity to fund it. With this mod your income will never be static or predictable. Every movement of every army changes your current perspective budget. Every dollar counts. Therefore every move matters. It gives decisions more weight. This really ties the game together for me, with Mortal Empires massive map, this helps break up the tedium of army management. It makes you carefully evaluate each option available in an attempt to maximize profit. And thinking is why I play these games. The mod also adds a few additional quality of life changes to the defensive stances I felt made sense. The biggest being the "Encamped" stance now provides passive Exp to units in the army to simulate drilling them. Below is the full list of changes added to all "Stances" and "Situations" and their corresponding effects. No existing effects were changed in the making of this mod, so this should work with any mod you throw at it. Examples pictures are above. Built for Mortal Empires. Built with love. Built for you. Enjoy.
