Guv's Anti Nerf Skarsnik AI Mod

Description
Frequently Asked Question (FAQ): WORKS WITH SFO/Radious?
Frequesntly Answered (FA): Seriously, stop. I have really no clue.
Frequently Asked Question (FAQ): Ok, then make a compatible version?
Frequesntly Answered (FA): Sigh, absolutely not.

This will be worthy for Skarsnik!
Ever wondered why Skarsnik's AI does pretty much nothing in campaign? I have wondered that as well. Until I recently figured out that CA essentially nerfed Skarsnik's AI. They removed the upkeep and recruitment bonus for Goblins that the player has. They also increase cost for performing agent actions by +50%. Like, why? His start position is really bad and he can only recruit gobbos. Would be fun to be swarmed by gobbos if you ask me.

What does this Mod do?
  • Removes the nerfs for Skarsnik AI.

Some Info
This mod simply removes the +40% increased recruitment cost and upkeep cost for all goblin units (essenitally + - zero skarsnik's unique effects) and adds a +50% cost to use agent actions that CA added.
These values are set to 0.


This will of course make it harder for players who play's Belegar. Be ware! Thought, if you play Belegar you should enjoy a challenge.

Optional Mods
None yet.

Compatibility
Should be save game compatible.

Wow, good observation Guv, really annoying when they do stuff like this to a poor ai faction like him. his lore has him as a compelling cunning goblin, yet ever since TWW1 he's little more than a speedbump faction that only ever has 1-2 cities out of dozens of campaigns.

@gongoozler I might. I know about his nerf.

@BettyTheMale not surprised. Giving AI better starting army is an easy fix with scripts. Seen it before

I think a major issue for skarsnik is the bot simply doesnt play right. Even given time they will have very odd army makeups and not even use his main lighting strike. Also fantaic use is pretty important and the bots kinda just vomit out spells. I think giveing the ai a better start either with more units or better ones.

Anyone see Skarsnik perform better with this mod? I don't see any difference as he is always among the first to die.

any plan for buffing Leechmaster's AI? He always sit home forever just like nerfed Skarsnik AI.
Lampros Jul 20, 2021 @ 6:31am 
I see.

Well, who knows. Maybe he's always had the anti trait.

When exactly was Skarsnik nerfed? Frankly I don't ever remember Skarsnik being a factor in WH2.

Cheers Guv!
