Description
Strategic war mod focus on unique movement patterns, morale, and role-based combat.
Companion Mod: Dynamic World, Dynamic Units, Middle Kingdom Map.

A self-contained mod balanced for both base game and Dynamic World/Dynamic Unit. Compatibility with other mods are expected too. The mod adds many interesting battle dynamics that create more tactical depth, more fluid battle lines for a fun war experience.

Key features:
Skirmishing: new unit mechanic where skirmisher units will retreat when attacked.
Friendly fire: AoE damage (e.g. Pierce, Splash) will now affect all units caught in the crossfire, including friendly and neutral ones
Hit-and-run: select ranged units can "Kite", that is move after attacking
Charge: select mounted melee units can now charge and scatter the target, pushing their way into a hostile tile
Significant AI, UI updates to handle the new features

Graphics provided by AND. Thanks for playing my mod, you can find me on the Old World Discord as ```Harry!```.

friendly damage is a feature of Dynamic Units (not dynamic battlefield)
Individual features cannot be turned on and off; you could turn the entire dynamic unit mod off, but I recommend you plan with friendly fire in mind instead. Like in real life, if your frontline is engaged in melee with the enemy, ordering archers (or onagers) to fire into the crowd will certainly cause some self-inflicted damage. Note friendly fire damage is limited to the splash, so it's a small number usually; you also benefit from usual protections like standing in a forest. Finally, you can always move your unit away, shoot with archer, then move your melee unit back into position. It will save you a bit of HP, but cost you 2 Orders.
Friendly fire affects AI as well; so rest assured they are hitting their own men as much as you are hitting yours.

After many reinstall, verifications, restarts, unsubscribe, resubscribes, etc., the miracle occurred: it works perfectly like it always has. ;p

are you on Main branch? with the latest version of the mod? I just tried to reproduce and not seeing the same issue. Did you get any warning text in tooltip?
If you still have issue, might be easier to pop over to official game's discord and post there--I need a bit more info, like the Log file and screenshots.

Possible Bug: Since the most recent update this mod results in my scouts being unable to harvest resources. It worked fine before the update. I have not changed my mod setup. If I remove this mod (and The Huns, which is dependent on it) , the game works fine.

War is expensive to start, even more expensive to maintain. Just ask <insert your favorite example of empire that bankrupted in war here>

Ooh the base game gave me troubles too, seems I'm using resources without a proper reserve. This mod encourages that as you can save for battlegear so you can hit the enemy full power for a short period. Reserves a good thing to have.

haha, sorry :) when in doubt, check the Pedia. The mod makes a LOT of changes (and more everyday, clearly it's being very actively supported) so assume you know how certain thing works because that's how the base game used to work will get you in troubles big and small :)

That's actually how I found the Odeon, it's the many hours spend it being rural that fooled me. After a restart as that solves a lot too. I like this mod, even if it tricks me sometimes.
