Fight to the Death - Unbreakable Siege Defenders LITE version

Original mod here https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1682570645

The original mod makes Siege defenders completely unbreakable, this one, not so much.

I did a quick test, I put Karl Franz with two crossbowmen units vs Grimgor, a Giant and some trolls attacking altdorf, then I set some poor crossbowmen units on the doors to be smashed by them.-

Without any mods, the crossbowmen broke at 60-65% percent of their health, around 60 men still alive (ultra settings), With this mod, they broke at 15 men alive and like 10% HP, with the original mod, they fought to the last man.

Another difference is that the morale bonus I gave them is not enough to bypass the army losses penalty, so an injured unit will break under the penalty, ending the battle without having to wipe out every single unit.

I'm testing to see which one I like best, still, both will remain uploaded and updated.


So, in the original Rome Total War sieges were a little different (and i think Medieval 2 and Shogun 2 had this too, at least to some extent), defenders could rout, but they wouldn't try to escape the city, they would rout to the center plaza to make a last stand, and inside there they would fight to the death (unbreakable like a slayer or a flagellant). This mechanic was also present during battles, if you surrounded a group of soldiers in Rome and they had nowhere to go, they wouldn't rout, they would fight to the death. For me this makes even more sense in Warhammer, because you are not getting colonized if greenskins or skaven get the city, you are getting killed either way, might as well keep fighting.

This mod tries to do that, I can't really make them rout to the city center and all that, but siege defenders will be almost unbreakable inside the city, essentially I gave them a huge morale bonus to defenders so they can bypass even the army losses penalty.

The bonus only applies to defenders INSIDE THE WALLS, defenders outside will be just vulnerable to routing like any other battle. Regular battes will not be affected. Works with both AI and the player, as well as every race.

**TL;DR: Huge morale bonus so defenders won't rout so quickly.**

Compatible? yes, no problem with that.

Will it work? Well... It should, as long as the map author properly labeled the zone inside the walls as a fortification.

It should work with any mod unless of course they tried to increase defenders morale too, even so, load order should take care of that.

The mod is save-game compatible.


This mod will never be out of date, it literally edits one number, still i will give it a fake update with every patch, but if I don't, it should still work. Keep in mind that it won't show as updated on steam because I don't need to make any changes.
