Total War: Attila "Tactical Battle System - ToMeKo" [v 1.0]

When two armies clash, a tactical battle begins.

This mod aims to enhance this aspect of the game through:

- increasing the variety of tactical maneuvers

- introducing elements of realism

- patching blatant gaps in AI behavior (dumb intelligence)

The central idea of the "ToMeKo" system is the clear advantage of one type of weapon over another in close combat.

Units of roughly equal cost are not equal in battle. Axes are more effective in combat against swords. Swordsmen in the "Shield Wall" formation will overpower spearmen. The "Spear Wall" formation will destroy an unorganized crowd of axe fighters.

Because of this, it is no longer enough to just gather a lot of money to crush the enemy with expensive units. Skillful battle management becomes more important. At the same time, the value of veterans and their combat experience is significantly increased.

In the original game, as in many mods, veteran badges were no more valuable than drawings in the sand.

The system works easily on vanilla Attila, although it was mainly created for the global mod Radious Total War with the official add-on Radious Total Units Mod. Additionally, several other mods have been considered and balanced accordingly.

Installation

Extract the necessary files from the archive and place them in the data folder. It is located in the game folder. Use a mod manager to set the order of mod loading.

Required files

1) core_asp_mod.pack — core of the mod

2) asp_translait_ru.pack – Russian localization

other submods can only be connected together with the corresponding base mods.

- asp_Radious_Total_War_Mod.pack — Radious Total War

- asp_ttw_imperium_mod.pack — Terminus Total War – Imperium

- asp_aum_att_mod_rad.pack — Additional Units Mod – Attila, for Radious

- asp_drama_lucio_renovatio_imperii.pack - Renovatio Imperii — submod of the Radious

Using the "Russian localization" from this mod is mandatory! (Other localizations will not find descriptions of new abilities and effects, leading to game crashes).

Fans of a wide variety of new units can connect all these mods at once. An example of connection using a mod manager is shown in the attached screenshot.

Compatibility

The "ToMeKo" mod is compatible with any mods. However, the addition of new units works correctly only with the four modifications mentioned above. New units from other modifications will not fit into the balance of "axe-sword-spear".
