Restricted Auto Resolve 85/40

→ This mod deactivates the usage of auto resolve for battles between the win percentages of 85% and 40%.

→ Auto resolve in Total War games are great for skipping battles where you have overwhelming odds, but it becomes a very murky mechanic when the odds are close to even. Simulating battles through auto resolve will never reflect an actual battle result, and can lead to many situations you can win a battle that you shouldn't have.

→ It also affects the troop composition of your army, in the vanilla game I always spam hellfire rockets units because the game shoots all the ammo of ranged units in AR. In addition, offensive fort battles/sieges are heavily trivialized by auto-resolve. Lord skill point allocation is different as well.

→ This provides a terrible dilemma where the game forces the player to choose between winning a battle instantly with a guaranteed outcome, versus having lots of fun fighting evenish battles with a deep suspense of whether they will win.

→ This mod is one of many variations of the original mod by Marthenil.\

→ As a house rule, I also avoid unticking the control large army exploit.
