No Walls! (Removal of siege battles)

Removes walls from the game! (mostly)



Tired of fighting siege battles on the exact same walled map with the same buggy gates, easily cheese-able AI, and just having to fight through a slog of a battle with very little tactics/depth? Then this mod might be for you!




I've removed walls from all normal major settlements and from minor settlement garrisons. This effectively removes siege battles from the game.

However, I feel that just removing walls with no other changes dramatically changes the balance of the game, so i've tried to compensate a bit.

First of all, racial capitals still have walls. Settlements like Itza, Hexoatl, Altdorf, Skavenblight, etc. This is partially to help those settlements not fall easily, and also because i'm lazy and its like 20x the amount of work I spent making this mod to include those. Forts and Gates also still have walls.

Major settlements and minor settlement garrisons, the buildings that previously granted walls, now grant a scaling buff to morale, melee defense, and reload speed for any units under siege in the settlement. It goes up to +20 to MD, +20 to leadership, and +40% to reload speed at a Tier 5 major settlement.

Additionally, major settlements have received extra units with their garrisons. Typically a few normal units, and one is always an artillery piece (monsters/cav for VC). This is to help compensate for the lack of walls, every major settlement should have artillery in the garrison allowing the AI to play defensively.

The major settlement garrison buildings have also been granted 2 extra units of artillery for their garrisons to make up for the lack of towers. Now instead of upgrading towers, you get 2 extra artillery units.

Minor settlement garrisons have also received 2 units of artillery, although always the lowest tier ones.
