Yeah would be pretty easy actually, just give it via campaign difficulty handicaps table to ai only, using a unit set to control which units get it or the specific tailored ability you want to give them. Sounds like an interesting ability mate, good luck!

And to double check that my dream is dead. If i made an ability that restores vigor to units when they reach Exhausted and are out of combat, at the cost of speed and reload until a new threshold of vigor. It would be impossible to only give the AI's units that ability? Thx in advance

Sadly not :( Dont have control over that

Do you know if it's possible to make the AI rest its units sometimes when theyre out of combat? Probably takes a ton of coding and testing if it's even possible, since the CA devs didnt do so. Hmmm.... might a feasible bandaid be an ability that slows the ai's exhausted units' speed and reload when out of combat, in return for fatigue regen until some threshold...

Yep

@Cerb Thanks for this, if I can cut down damage from the f-in cycle charging the AI does when it is godsdamn exhausted, that will be worth it alone.

Save game compatible?

All good dude, enjoy it!

@Cerb

I just started an SFO campaign for the first time since a while and you are correct. SFO does some really solid decisions when it comes to recruitment restrictions. Please disregard my last comment lol

Yeah you probably could do actually

is there a way to make exhausted units has small mortes engine effect (they take small amount of damage while exhausted)

Thanks mate :)

SFO does a lot of those sorts of recruitment restrictions, which do you feel are missing?

@Cerb

Loving the mods my friend.

You ever think about dipping into modding for AI army composition? I know you play default but the community could always have another modders take on AI recruitment behavior. Or even making it so that certain AI factions can't recruit certain units to make certain factions more thematic like certain greenskin factions only being able to recruit orc units over goblin units and vice versa. I feel like it would pair well with your SFO realism mod collection list.

Either way thanks for the mods that add such depth. Really amazing creations :D
