Roger's Scenario Thread

Ok I played more and it is basically WW1 Entente vs Central Powers dynamic. As the Sturlungs have to hold out heavily and secure the Northwest peninsula before you push back. I'm curious of making a mod of this that implements better unit balancing, better movement, less insane stacking, unit resource limits/costs, and maybe new units (maybe catapults and pikemen could be added?). Also try to make objective base for obvious reasons

This war was fought by part-time soldiers without specialized equipment. The largest battle involved fewer than 3,000 men total.
If you want to try to simulate it, most military units should be immobile. Mobile forces should have an upkeep cost. There is no justification for pikeman and catapults.
Give a mod a try. It should not be hard to come up with something better.

Could "pikemen" picture spearmen armed with two-handed spears (like the "atgeir") as opposed to spearmen armed with one-handed spears and shields, or do you tend to think that virtually all Norsemen used shields and one-handed spears and never two-handed ones? If having two-handed (shieldless) spearmen, how to call them if not "pikemen"?
Off-topic, regarding a game of mine: do you think that immobile infantry is a must-have in a XII century European game? For example in France. I'm very undecided whether to have all infantry being mobile (like in most TripleA games) or to allow for immobile infantry at lower upkeep costs.

Yes if you want to make some effort to simulate pre-modern warfare, immobile forces are a must. Otherwise, the result is WW1 with different unit images. Combine that with stacking limits, limited combat rounds and multi-hit fortifications with limited repair and you should get a pre-modern war of sieges with occasional battles.

@rogercooper honestly shouldn't a Sturlung War game be based off raiding and by raiding more (taking territories, winning few battles, destroying infrastructure, etc) you get points and your trying to reach the highest quantity (or a certain limit)

Yes, but I don't see how to make that work in TripleA engine.

@rogercooper maybe get points based on TUV destroyed (similar to how you get leadership points each time you take off 100 TUV from the opponent). Just an idea

What mod has you getting leadership points by killing TUV?
-
@rogercooper Civil War: A House Divided ... you get Leadership points after killing 100 TUV. You do that to buy generals which cost 2 (sort of meant to replace the dead generals you likely get as the civil war goes on)
