Agion's Experimental Alteration Pack

Updated: 9/27/2016

This is an experimental mod pack I made. It is designed to change a lot of underused features in the game to make them more usable. I also added in some features to adjust balancing. Note this is my first mod and it is not perfect.

"T2
-Boster Squad

Good lordy 5 man Panzer Grenadier squads is going to be OP. Panzer Grens don't need a 5th man.

Agree on that one. Giving Grens a 5th guy might not be the baddest idea, but PGrens are fine with 4 men

Perhaps that was a bit too far, has been updated.

Updated the mod, now more experiment adjustments

Spent an entire day off, with another update. Now I need to get some sleep.

Another Update, I think I may have altered the game into entirely different game play.

I'll try it out. I like how you manage to use the officers of the USF to be useful in order to get the mortar.

Yeah better gives Pioneer 5th man, same with CE, vanilla factions repair slow as fuck compared to WFA and UKF.

A minor update involving the Puma dispatch, KV 2 and radio intercept. If anyone has experimental change or balance advise, please post.

I have been trying to slow down the use of fast/mass weapon teams and trying to move focus to infantry based play, hence the swapping out starting engineers with infantry.

love the pathfinders change. Has been such an under utilised unit in current state of play

Minor update
UI Aiming recitals appear for all turretless vehicles to assist in aiming and prefacing.

Starting to add in balancing to the mod.

Added in more balance changes and add in Guard Divisions for the British.

I really like this. Some great changes, especially for USF. Any chance the OKW could get some smoke options? Perhaps on leigs?

New update.
Adjusted Osteer Teching to make it more stream line and more equal of timings with other factions.
Additional balance changes.

The leig was on my list to adjust, smoke maybe a good idea. With all the support weapon changes, all required teching of a sort, it is hard to tell what is needed and what is not needed.

New, large update. Bulletins reworked, Teching reworked, veterancy for infantry now matches Generals Gentleman's veterancy (I liked it).
