I will test this scenario out. It doesn't sound like a major issue since this is just one more case of AI stupidity on top of many many others, and if their attacking formation is already basically dead, having it losing a few more times doesn't really hurt the attackers any.

They will still get pushed out eventually though, the "clear mechanism" you mentioned, its just it will have do 10 times more battles than usual. This mod only nerfs defensive recapture, it doesn't remove it.

Thanks for the mod.

One issue I've run into is that this also reduces defensive recapture during naval invasion. This means that naval invasion progress basically never gets reduced. Since a naval invasion only gets gets cancelled after three failed attacks at 0% progress, there's no longer a clear mechanism by which a naval invasaion can get cancelled after it has won a battle. This isn't much of a problem for the player, since we can just manually cancel if we see this isn't going anywhere, but the AI seems unable to do so and can get stuck naval invading a place with a near-dead army if it manages to win a single battle.

Great mod, actually makes warfare tolerable. Thanks!

Many thanks for this mod. :-)
Please keep the 90% for defensive battles as long as the devs won't introduce counter-offensives. If you want to recapture / occupy land then send offensive armies (like it was before 1.5).

They still lose an INSANE amount of battles.

I looooove this mod as it is. Saved me from going insane. Plz dont change it.

@KopiG
did you notice them losing offensive battles still?
KopiG 1 Dec, 2023 @ 10:45am 
noooo plz dont change it. My allies would ruin the game again.

I also think 25% might be more reasonable. There is *some* sense in defenders being able to recapture a limited amount of territory in the wake of a fleeing attacking army, but I agree that its way overtuned in the base game.

@Gunteraz
You have to consider the fact that losing an offensive makes less and less sense as warfare evolves into trench warfare.
That said, i'm considering upping it to 25% right now, ill give it another day before committing

90'% nerf is too much for sure, otherwise a decent idea.

Thnx boss, even with the fix this is a welcome addition to the mod list
Ferrous  [author] 29 Nov, 2023 @ 2:34am 
it stills nerfs defensive recapture, which is think is valid. I might up the numbers now though @Rayor

1.5.10 patch now helping our alies fight with me. so this great mod haven't anymore

This mod single handedly fixes wars and Prussia never forming Germany. Strongly suggested.
Archene 26 Nov, 2023 @ 11:00am 
Thank you very much for this fix. I literally quit a game recently due to it. <3
The Interrogator 24 Nov, 2023 @ 12:37pm 
praise you for a needed temp fix :*
Ferrous  [author] 24 Nov, 2023 @ 9:11am 
i'll consider it.
John Star 24 Nov, 2023 @ 9:01am

John Star 24 Nov, 2023 @ 8:58am

Ferrous  [author] 23 Nov, 2023 @ 1:12pm 
@neonJ

Gurman 23 Nov, 2023 @ 1:06pm 
Working now! Thx, great mod collection btw
NeonJ 23 Nov, 2023 @ 12:51pm 
@Ferrous ah nice! thx :)
NeonJ 23 Nov, 2023 @ 12:51pm 
maybe I found the problem. You have one folder "script values" between "commen" and "defines" and this folder is not needed.

@NeonJ @Gurman @Flavius Arkady August
Sorry for the wait, the mod should work now
unsub wait a little and then resub
Ferrous  [author] 23 Nov, 2023 @ 12:22pm 
i understand, ill investigate
NeonJ 23 Nov, 2023 @ 12:04pm 
The mod doesn't work for me either :/ I have no other mode, with change military modifer, so i do not see where could be a conflict
Gurman 23 Nov, 2023 @ 12:01pm 
Not working for me midgame. i only have some mods from your collection.
Ferrous  [author] 22 Nov, 2023 @ 5:47am 
@Flavius Arkady August

It should work midgame, but there might be incompatible mods. try launching the game with just this mod enabled
Flavius Arkady August 22 Nov, 2023 @ 1:35am 
doesn't work with save game:(

@kimms071711
I'm afraid that is not a thing. If you want to recapture land go on the offensive instead.
kimms071711 20 Nov, 2023 @ 9:52pm 
can you edit this mod only for allies? not for player.. this makes super harder to recover my state occupation..
