Fog of War Mod Guide

Alot of stuff needs explaining to others brave enough to subscribe and a lot of stuff needs remembering by me about what this rambling mod does

So here it will begin to be writ Very slowly im guessing, foucus on stuff that needs explaining priority first, that is no Guarantee it will get done thou

Just some very very sketchy basics 1st – wip stickers all over this thing

Intro

Steel Division 2 - How to Make Mod + Game Lobby Set Up Guide - Intro - 161170E

Introduction

Well this wont be much of an intro yet

This humble mod so far has grown from 1 table and a dozen edits as stealth mod to 49 tables now

The last calculation i tried i put edits at about 1.2 million+ edits and changes…..

So..Summarising all that is a job for someone else, But its just me so were a bit stuffed

Vanilla stats but almost everything else has been tweaked – summary

Triage info will follow

Game Lobby Setup

Mod and AI are designed to be played on very low incomes for very long games , but this is not necessary . Can be played up 1.5 Income and works fine

The lowest income is the 2.0 it is actually 0.25

Income is delivery twice as slow every 2 minutes so anything you pick including 2 (0,25) is actually half of what is normal

Time to victory is alot longer so use the duration setting in lobby to modify. 0,75 is about an hour higher duration gets alot longer

AI Difficulty is Different

– To setup and tweak the pain/difficult , Ai difficulty now looks like this for options

Hardest + 100 and +100& Deck sIze and a different AI Strategy

Very Hard AIt + 15% and +100% deck size (basically if you need a zerg)

Hard Ait + 10 % income (boost and enemy or ally)

Medium Ait – is default

Easy Ati – 10% income (nerf an enemy or ally)* u

Very Easy +100% Deck Size (normal income good for ally or enemy if you need larger numbers)

– Hard Medium and Very Easy share the Same AI

-*Easy has a different ‘strategy’ profileand may be good for defender or on low points so remained

– Hardest has a Unique vanilla profile i haven’t tested

Can use this to change size of enemy difficulty income a fair range

Vision and Recon

Steel Division 2 - How to Make Mod + Game Lobby Set Up Guide - Vision and Recon - F730D0C

This is a long one so to start, stealth is up, even planes can disappear

Optics or what ill call vision is down for recon vehicles closer to SD44 levels, some low vision units got a buff as terrain is much more concealing

Chart shows the basics- more explanation along one day

Planes

Steel Division 2 - How to Make Mod + Game Lobby Set Up Guide - Planes - 41DC38D

The basic changes for most planes

– A whole stack whet Up 1/3 in altitude and the middle moved around a bit

– Planes are more Durable, less accurate with bombs and weapons in favour of evasion

– Many Fatal Plane crits (like ground vehicles) remapped to longer but non fatal crits

Steel Division 2 - How to Make Mod + Game Lobby Set Up Guide - Planes - 177D702

– Plane Refuel Reload faster but repair slower

– Planes gain Xp when on the battle for time and a small amount for kills (for balance)

– Keeping Fighter and Recon on patrol near your spawn is good for both their role and the xp they gain

– All planes gain optics from XP

– All planes take 2 to 3 times the time to evacuate the battle, makes fighter pursuit much more worthwhile.

– Fighter will not see so far horizontally and are often heading up and down more instead

So it makes stuff much more vertical – high alt Bombers are less vulnerable to AA but less accurate, fighter have more a roll in chasing them down, and friendly AA will not protect bomber against them as much so escorts become a good idea

IT all needs lots of explaining that ill do sometime (maybe)

For low flyers, not much of a list so far 3 of them, had 19 but not sure how many to rebuild

The Two Lightning Recon’s French and US

The British Red Devil’s Proto Recon Mosquito

These are pretty simple, they fly real low so use to ‘path find recon’ Can get in recon stuff other cant and might even survive

So set a path (holding shift) for their entire run from spawn to enemy fly by back to your safe territory, At end of path can hit V to set evac but usually i keep them on map, planes gain xp when on map. You can then set follow camera and enjoy the ride

Flying low has benefits and risks

– Most AA if you carefully navigate will not have time to track and engage, this needs careful navigation plots

– low levels are harder to spot for all but if seen by fighters are in trouble

– all low levels climb steeply when panic or ‘Evac’, this can make them very vulnerable or be life saving evasion if timed correctly

– Winchester off thou not needed for these as they are unarmed is highly recommended (options – gameplay)

humble start but planes take a bit of getting used to so had to start somewhere
