I've never understood why CA didn't add this feature. Garrisons are military units too—they should be subject to redeployment. Nice work, you've changed my gaming experience.

God mod!!

@mcsuppe base game settlements can reinforce (this mod doesn't change that range) but this mod allows them to themselves to be the main force (not reinforcing force) attacking an enemy and this range is about 3* as large as the reinforcing range

Huh, I thought this was already a feature in the base game. Did I genuinely hallucinate a game feature from the dev videos/trailers??

Thanks for this mod! I think this has changed gameplay for me more than any other mod, and now almost every town has walls built.

Cool, thanks for the info. How hard would it be to set up, in the MCT, adjustable: sally out range, and (I know your mod doesn't touch this) garrison reinforcement range? That would be awesome if possible! For me the sally range feels a bit too big and the reinforcement range too small and I feel like it could be 2/3 or 3/4 of sally range?

@cybergroover
Yes, it works in forts, bastions, and gates as well. I don’t usually play with SFO, but in theory, changes like that are applied globally, so it should also affect the distance at which garrisons can join as reinforcements.

And I see that SFO increases the reinforcement range (sorry I didn't check that before). So would SFO increase the range at which garrisons can join as reinforcements (when using SFO and this mod)?

Thanks. I mean does this work in forts/bastions/gates?

@cybergroover
If you mean Ogre camps, then no, since Ogre camps are technically armies, not settlements.

Does this work in forts too?

Thanks! I didn't know vanilla reinforcement range was this long, which I think is a good distance (I assumed it was from your wonderful mod :) ): https://imgur.com/a/mBAzvRf

@cybergroover
Thanks! The reinforcement mechanics are the same as in vanilla — garrison armies will only reinforce if the attacked army is very close to the settlement. The sally-out range does not affect the range at which the garrison can join as reinforcements.

This is an awesome mod! Can the sallying happen to reinforce your other armies that are attacked if within range (or just when your own armies attack)?

Amazing mod. Been using this for a while now. Makes the game feel so much more fluid. Not having to move one of your main armies to deal with some small army that is just on your land is so nice. Can just kill them with the garrison.

10/10 mod.

@Cattsy Yes.

is this work with iee mod?

@LiQuiDaToR
Someone has already made a mod with the mechanic you described. Try searching for "Garrison Sally for All" on the Workshop.

This might be more suited for a submod rather than an update to this one, but would you consider tying this "sally out" mechanic to having the "watch building" (+discoverability, -corruption) building in the region/province? Would be neat to finally have a viable, impactful use for it

I can see this as a future QOL for total war genre keep engineering good ideas!

This has been a fun little addition to my campaign. Using Malakai I'm battling waves of chaos hordes from all the factions, waiting patiently for kislev's armies to come north and help. Having garrisons help me chase down enemy armies is awesome, especially with landmark mods that add unique garrisons.

@ArthasL1 Thank you! I thought it was it just being finiky, after I played I tried what you suggested and it worked

Much Appreciated !!

Updated for Patch 6.2

You may please update the Mod

@Grim Harvest
Glad you’re enjoying the mod. In my tests, I was able to get reinforcements during a sally out. If it’s not working sometimes, it might be because the reinforcing army isn’t close enough to the enemy target to be included in the battle.

Absolutly amazing, the only problem I had is an inconsitency where I can sometimes reinforce the garrison in a sally out attack with a lord in the settlement and sometimes can't

@黯殇轻语
本Mod不会影响任何其他内容。可能是因为你的城市被围困或者单纯增援距离不够。

666，想问一下我目前军队站在城镇旁边被攻击时得不到驻军增援是因为本mod吗

@Marcus Aurelius You right click on the army u want to attack once u see the purple outline.

太666了

666 虽然还没通过 但这个想法我玩这么多年全站都没想到过

Would it be possible for port garrisons to also help in naval battles?

How do i use it ? I have the range effect but don't know how to sally my garrison

@Gravenwitch
Wow, I actually hadn’t noticed that myself—great catch!
Yeah, your theory makes a lot of sense. It does seem likely that the garrison is still getting settlement defense autoresolve bonuses even when sallying out.
At the moment, I’m not able to tweak that behavior directly since that part of the functionality was ported over from Ataman’s system without major changes.
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!

Great mod! I noticed that garrisons seem to have some extreme autoresolve bonuses when sallying onto the map. On VH campaign difficulty w/ no combat stat modifications they can autoresolve kill LL lead armies with double their numbers (for example a level 3 minor settlement garrison vs level 30ish skarbrand with 20 units) when an equivalent player army would get a valiant defeat in AR. I also notice that it does not happen when I have "remove minor settlement battles" enabled. Is it possible the garrisons are getting settlement defense AR bonuses even when attacking? Or is it just normal Lizardmen autoresolve bias?

King !

@STOPTIMUS CRIME
No, this mod doesn't affect AI behavior.

Does the AI react like it can be attacked in the area? Just so there's no easy sniping.

@bbbnn, yes by creating a mod with rpfm and changing the value in ui_colours_tables (garrison_attack_range)

Thx for the mod

The garrison mod happily works with Grimhammer and Multi-player! Did a grimhammer pack with my friends. Love this mod!

love the mod. is it possible to change garrisons's range color?

Amazing, thanks!

Спасибо за мод

spasibo bratan

@大龙666 Ты забыл, видимо, говна покушать

It's not possible to make the AI use this function at all? That's a shame

These explanations here (incl. the comparison to the other currently-featured "competition" mod on Steam, in a nutshell) are absolutely excellent - to-the-point explanations especially in terms of compatibility is a field where some of the biggest names in modding could learn a thing or two here. <3 Thanks a lot! Cool mod too

Ah, you understand mod compatibility. Thank you for making the simple version of this function, I was looking for this!

这个效果原来只用一个effect就能启用啊
