Greetings! Just a question does it works in multiplayer?

@Cogssytem, I would have to check the files to be 100% sure the default state of the game. But from memory you are correct. Each has a different value based on how hard you set the game as. My mods here don't keep the default values as it is for the AI nor player however. So in this case/mod, both the player and AI upkeep values are at -50% no matter how hard you set the game. I made sure both would be on the same footing when making these mods.

This applies to only the upkeep however. Any other bonus or negatives you or the ai gets, say in battle bonus to morale etc, are unaffected.

Hi Rhet.

Could you do the same mods but only upkeep reduction cost for the AI ? But with different values, like 30 % / 40 % / 50 % also.

I'm assuming that this AI bonus is combined with a % reduction with the upkeep cost linked to difficulty, but maybe I'm wrong ? For example, if I'm playing legendary and the AI has -30% and I add a mod that gives - 40% for the IA, then the AI will get -70%, right?

Thanks for the update! Shows how little I looked into the new custom campaign options. I didn't even know it had a option for it lol.

@Rhet: well, I found the problem and it was entirely my fault. I forgot that there was an option in the campaign options before you start, which changes the player's upkeep. so I had set that to 50% upkeep and then forgot about it, and when I installed you mod, it reduced upkeep further by 50%, so it became 100%. apologies for thinking the mod does not work, it does!

@brokentool, thanks for the information. I'll have to look more into it tomorrow when I get time to see what could be causing that not to work. Haven't noticed that issue on my end but seems easy enough to reproduce.

@Rhet: I am using this mod, which is the 50% version.

I can confirm that it works as intended when starting a new campaign.

however, when loading an existing campaign, even on Turn 1, all upkeep is removed completely, except for the general's bodyguard.

not work

@Agodin, I know it affects the food and bronze upkeep at the very least. I can see that from the early campaigns I've played so far. I don't have any units that requires gold for upkeep currently in my campaign. But I would assume this mod would reduce their upkeep as well with how I made the mod. But I can't 100% guarantee it since I haven't seen it work in game yet.

does this just reduce the food upkeep rather than the gold, bronze, food etc?

I'll just end turn spam a campaign when I get home/free in a bit and see if adding it later doesn't work or see what it's doing.

@Muffintop, it could be. I haven't gotten deep into any campaigns myself yet so I've only tested it personally on new games or games that are less than 10 turns. In those cases I've been able to add/remove it and the upkeep goes back to default or is reduced.

I'm using no other mods, only have 50% reduced mod. Could it be because I used it mid campaign?

Just launched/tested the mod again on my end. I'm not seeing the issue you mentioned @MuffinTop/@Brokentool.

I do have a 100% reduced upkeep mod, https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3049811994 . Could be you have turned on the wrong version of my mod maybe?

If your getting this issue with the 50% mod, what other mods are you using (if any). Maybe there's a conflict I'm unaware of.

This mod will be great, but at the moment it completely removes upkeep. Thank you for the mod!

thanks for making this!

I hope the feedback helps: I tried loading a Turn 1 save in an existing campaign, and all my units had no upkeep, zero. only the generals had upkeep.
