No, it doesn't. It does not even touch skill trees.

This mod makes master engineer lost restock and ballistic master skill

Doesn't matter whether it's the player using it or the AI. CA added a fatigue penalty to lightning strike and reduced the morale penalty from -8 to -6 in the same patch. The scope of this mod has nothing to do with buffs to the AI - vanilla or otherwise - only the reversion of specific nerfs to lightning strike.

Don't like that? The modding tools are freely available on the internet and easy enough to use that a child could mod Total War. I implore you to use them.

.. I mean when the player is using it.
Additional note: I wanted this to force 1v1 battles at all times. Ive since learned that you cant use LS when defending - -. multi army battles are very unfun, unbalanced and tanks my performance. Auto resolve almost allways favors your multi stacks too, further destroying the game balance. Multi army battles just suck in so many ways, poor design. we need a mod that forces 1v1 only. With enough mods buffing and fixing the AI, 1v1 battles can be actually challenging, even in the late game.
Im too advanced of a player to play on anything but very hard, But than the game just gets boring and tedious. Just a mass stack auto resolving fest. I want to actually play the game.

If a difference of two morale is OP to you, then you have other, bigger problems.
Violen Apr 18 @ 8:22pm 
Removing fatigue penalty is what i want. The moral penalty however... Seems really OP. Id like it to be a normal battle, this is all.

No reason for it to have stopped working. It's a single variable.
Skull Oct 23, 2024 @ 4:20am 
damn, is this mod still update or still working? I tired being for one vs many stacks as same times for being "Exhausted".
Benjideaula Jul 2, 2024 @ 1:43am 
update?
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] Jun 19, 2024 @ 5:26pm 
Because not being outnumbered 4-to-1 is anathema to CA.

thank you for this, until just now I thought there was a bug with the game. My army would be tired for no good reason and at first I did not realise it was lightning strike causing it. I do not understand why CA changed.

You're doing the lords work, thank you!

For anyone warded off by Ulysses, it IS working for me in SFO. Maybe they loaded it before SFO and it was overwritten? It's at the bottom of my load order, and it's working in my Skarbrand campaign.
Ulysses S. Grant Oct 22, 2023 @ 5:10pm 
This does not work with SFO unfortunately
Curithane Aug 4, 2023 @ 3:49pm 
Question? does this also make it like in Wh2 where the enemy had no reinforcements??
Benjideaula Jul 4, 2023 @ 2:43am 
seriously. why the fuck do you punish players for using good strategy
Benjideaula Jul 4, 2023 @ 2:43am 
CA when actual military tactics are too OP for their shitty campaign AI
Bashula Apr 21, 2023 @ 1:20am 
doesn't seem to work in MP
Solaire Apr 14, 2023 @ 5:28am 
Does this need an update for 3.0?
Raitøx Dec 6, 2022 @ 10:21am 
Thank for the mod, i can't understand the logic of CA to overnerf every tactical option while not fixing more important things (like the shitty AI) seriously moding is saving CA ass (like bethesda)

Lightning strike is not just only -5, it's explicitly set to -5 by the version of the pack file I've gotten from the workshop here (unit_battle_setup_night_battle_defender_morale_bonus -5.0000)
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] Oct 29, 2022 @ 9:18pm 
Yes.
Solaire Oct 29, 2022 @ 9:17pm 
Is it still good even after all this time?
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] Sep 9, 2022 @ 11:40pm 
Nope. The involved line remains unchanged.
Ihavemanybullets Sep 9, 2022 @ 10:22pm 
Does this need to be updated?
Onyx Aug 25, 2022 @ 1:51am 
if you can it would be great to make the old lightning strike
Leaf Jul 26, 2022 @ 9:39pm 
yeah bro as great as this is. the old lightning strike is best. pls make it if you have time
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] May 18, 2022 @ 5:56pm 
Then it's an issue on your end, full stop. It works.
Burninwolf May 18, 2022 @ 5:24pm 
I'm sober and it still doesnt work
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] May 18, 2022 @ 5:09pm 
The mod functions as it always has.
CA hasn't changed anything about how the TWO lines in the mod work.

What am I supposed to assume? That you got high and just happened to accidentally type what you've typed? That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
Burninwolf May 18, 2022 @ 4:31pm 
I dont see why you would think I need to lie? It doesnt work and needs an update
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] May 18, 2022 @ 4:20pm 
Lying to me won't cause me to change the literally nothing that's requires changing.
Burninwolf May 18, 2022 @ 4:16pm 
Doesnt work
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] May 17, 2022 @ 1:02pm 
No it doesn't.
Ragnarjan May 17, 2022 @ 9:45am 
needs update
MaS Apr 18, 2022 @ 5:45am 
Thanks, I normally spot those things, no idea why that went straight past me this time... my bad
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] Apr 18, 2022 @ 1:28am 
Read the description.
MaS Apr 18, 2022 @ 1:23am 
is this save game compatible?
Commisar Jon Fuklaw  [author] Apr 17, 2022 @ 8:19pm 
Did you even fucking read the description?
Lightning strike doesn't make your army Very Tired.
You still have to tick the lightning strike tickbox.
SteakDriven Apr 17, 2022 @ 6:01pm 
Your mod actually doesn't do a thing: It still allows reinforcements, thereby making it completely useless.
SteakDriven Apr 17, 2022 @ 5:49pm 
Whoever decided to nerf lightning strike should be pimp smacked so hard he flies across the room and smacks into a server.
roguestates Apr 6, 2022 @ 6:49am 
"fair" lol
Ada Apr 6, 2022 @ 2:15am 
Cheers mate. Nice work.
