Supply Lines Rework

This mod reworks supply lines mechanic so that extra upkeep depends on unit quality in your forces instead count of armies


What does this mod do

1 Sets extra upkeep per army to 1%

2 All units in game now have new parameter: supply cost. It depends on unit quality and varies from 0 for early game units to 6 for dread saurians. Total supply cost of your forses converts to upkeep penalty depend on mod settings. So army of spearmen and archers will not require any supply and army with 19 star dragons will require 76 supply points

You can see supply demand for each unit when recruit them

3 Legendary lords can reduce supply cost for their favorite units. E.g. Black Guard of Naggarond for Malekith requires 1 supply point instead of 3. Some lords require unique skill to do this.

4. There is special variable called Supply Influence that defines how supply points will be transformed into exta upkeep. By default, this value depend on difficulty level, but you can change it via MCT or MCT: Reborn . If Supply Influence = 4 then army that that requires 30 supply points will be increasing your forces upkeep by 5%. If Supply Influence = 8 then extra upkeep for this army is 10%


Example:

We have Karl Franz with 3x Halberdiers, 6x Greatswords, 2x Crossbowmen, 4x Reiksguard and 4x Mortars, player supply influence is 5 (it means multiplier is 0.2)
Greatswords and Reiksguard normally requre 2 points per unit but Karl Franz makes them 2 points cheaper in his army so they become free, Crossbowmen doesn't need anyway, 3x Halberdiers require 3 supply points, 4x Mortars - 12
Total supply demand for this army is 15, that means extra upkeep is 15*0.2 = 3 %
If we disband all Reiksguard and replace them with 4x Demigryph Knights, it will require 16 supply points extra. Final extra upkeep is 31*0.2 = 6%


This mod does not affect Bretonnia, Tomb Kings, Horde factions

If you want a connection between supply lines and military buildings you can activate Militant Supply Reserves in MCM read more about it
