Hey Pezhetairos! Can you make this mod for TWW3? The current one only increases research rate for the player. I like for the playing field to be more even and have the AI to have the increased research benefit as well

Theoretically, that could work, but I cant say for sure if a reduced percentage would work for the AI.

Hi. If I want the oposite effect to slow down campaings I could edit to 50% and apply me and ai right? Tyvm

COOP GOOD

update plz

update of sfo plz...

SFO changes partially the same entries so it will probably always be incompatible with SFO.

sfo not work...
Please update... thank you

- DOES NOT REQUIRE AN UPDATE -

Thank you for your mod Pezhetarios.

hong2882 why? he work without any update

Please update... thank you

sfo not...

Ok thx, we can't remove the other so we will do without, too bad for us.

It works for me in Coop, so maybe its a mod-compatibility issue.

Do not work in coop.

Thanks man!

It is updated, and (at least in my own tests) works, its just that steam doesnt count something as "updated" if you dont change the main file in any way, even though the main file doesnt need to be updated and it works even when its "outdated" (unless CA changes something substantial)

Please update this great mod!

what is the name of the PACK-file for this mod?

Unlikely, as I cant predict how the AI could even interact with it. Considering the many different buffs it gets based on the difficulty-setting, which could cause extra conflicts, it would probably make the mod a lot less compatible with other mods, especially if there are more changes from CA regarding AI rules in the future.

Bummer, do you have any intention of making a mod where the AI also gains the benefit of the mod?

No, the AI is not affected by the mod.

Does it also buff the AI?

I suspect that it would not work with SFO because it probably also changes sth about the same handicap tables, but as I dont use SFO, I cant say for sure.

great mod speeds up game and it neede a bit of that espeacialy on mortle. many thanks works with new dlc.

would it work with SFO grimhammer 2?

Aye, this or using kadrins mod manager is (supposedly) one of the ways to get it to work, however for me at least the "rename-method" only worked when manually changing the files name using the PFM. Its annoying but until CA fixes it, I am using this method to at least play with the most important mods for me.

Not quite true - there is a workaround.

Copy the .pack file of the mod from the steam workshop folders into the data folder of the TW WH2 folder and you can load all your mods using physical copies (suggest renaming them, you'll know if you've done it right because youll get a hard copy of the mod which is usable)

Both official launchers have a bug right now which makes using mods almost impossible, nothing anyone can do until CA fixes it.

Doesn't work.

Still works for me, possibly a mod conflict on your end.

dont work ((

In theory that could work, even though i cant say for sure that it will affect the AI in exactly the same way as the player. You would have to use the Pack File Manager and change the numbers into negatives, for example -200 or -300, depending on how much longer you want research to take.

I would like to ask you, can I use the principle of your MOD to change to the opposite effect? In other words, increase the construction time of the research, and at the same time affect the players and AI?
Thank you very much

This is not necessarily related only to the mod. But, does anyone actually know for certain if the ai factions even HAVE research times at all? I mean, do they just have access to everything from the start? Or, do they have to decide which and when skills are to be researched, like the player does?
I'm ony asking becasue it often times seems like the certain ai factions can field some of their highest tier units much sooner than they should be. Even though the ai does typically spam a lot of cheap units, by (perhaps) the same token.
Well, by my estimations, at any rate. Again, this seems like something which has been happening long before i ever began using this mod.

Okay, thanks!

Depends on how the other mods do it, if its the exact same method then they will conflict and one of the mods will override the other, but if they do it differently, like for example by giving/increasing research bonuses to buildings or skills or any other way then it could work.

Does this mod work with other mods that increase research rate?

Not 100% sure, but probably not, as it is embedded in the players difficulty settings, which (as far as I know) dont affect the AI.

Does this mod also half the research for the ai factions as well as the player?

Aye it does, provided that none of your other mods interfere with it.

Does this work in the current version of the game?

Thanks for much for checking on that! I haven't found any other mods that work with the research points sadly. Thanks for trying though!

Thank you for looking into it! The only research speed mod that I found to work was 1 turn research, which is to fast for me. Thanks again for trying! I'll keep my eye for other mods and updates.

After taking a look at how SFO does it I'm sorry to say that I cant really circumvent the compatibility-issue. The only way I can think of to make it work would be to manually take both mods' files, save them elsewhere, unsubscribe from both and then use the Packfilemanager to copy my database-lines into the same section of SFO and then saving it as one mod. But you would have to do it for every single updated version of both mods.

However as there are multiple mods for increased research out there, chances are that some of them will use a different method like instead of increasing research points some mods maybe lower the time the individual technologies take. Perhaps those will work with SFO depending on how much it changes about techs.

It currently does not, do to some changes within SFO. It worked just fine with it previously. Maybe you could bug Venris (the author of SFO) and he could help you write a compatability so yours overwrites his. I've been using your mod since TW1 and I love it, I'd really love to keep using it.

I also would love a patch for compatability with SFO. Love your mod and am sad to not use it : (

Unlikely, I dont know if it works with SFO as I dont use it, but if both mods change the same line in the database then incompatibility is inevitable.

Would it be possible to get a SFO compatability for this mod?

@FullAutoAttack: The mod is supposed to double your base research rate, but it doesn't. My base research rate remains at one hundred percent, rather than two hundred.

@Pezhetairos: I'll try that, though I don't understand why a mod that blocks Rogue Armies and a mod that purports to reduce the AI's cheating tendencies would conflict with one that increases your base research rate.
