Hello Everyone,
Small update again with iterative fixes and additions. Also the first set of balance changes to the new campaign attempting to decrease the snowball of larger factions while keeping it playable for smaller factions.
Fixes and balance changes will continue while I start working on the next bigger additions: Cannons and new campaign mechanics.
Thank you for all the support! Love the reception of the new campaign
If you have suggestions, bugs or just general ideas for the next update, feel free to join the discord or drop by in the discussions. Always happy to hear your input.

Hello everyone!
This update significantly expands the tactical side of battles with a new AI difficulty system, improved delegated command behavior and more intelligent formation movement.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41865338/38613371d99bf78f7b936b87a91b4b6955f4df94.png
You can now choose between Cinematic, Normal and Tactician AI for both enemy formations and formations under delegated officer control. The new Tactician setting gives ranged and cavalry formations more advanced manoeuvring behavior, while the broader AI improvements also bring better pathfinding, order handling and formation movement across battles.
You can also prepare your army more effectively before battle begins. Formations can now be set to delegate or manual command during deployment, and mounted units can be ordered to begin battles mounted or dismounted.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41865338/76ba65347c1eff513577b198888c7dd04400500e.png
This update also adds a new dynamic action camera option, improved reinforcement feedback and several new equipment pieces, including a crown, multiple helmets, shields and pavise variants. Three new inland grasslands maps have also been added for big hillside combat.
Alongside the new systems and content, this patch resolves a number of issues with formations, mounted combat, reinforcements, campaign terminology and battle behavior.
The 14th Century Armory Pack has also received new helmets, armor additions and visual improvements to several existing bascinet variants.
Thank you all for the continued support, as always!
