Has anyone created a mod to tweak the cost of unit upkeep?
Unit upkeep right now is so high, that building a single squad of heavily armored cavalry can put you in the poor house. It has become the case that I am no longer building troops, but rather outfitting any crappy hero that comes along instead, as they apparently have no upkeep cost. And that of course renders much of the technology tree and resources rather moot.
I expect that unit upkeep could be tweaked with a single setting, but I as of yet have no clue as to how to mod this game. Rather than spend who knows how many hours learning to mod just to tweak one setting, I figured I would ask if anyone has bothered with this already?
And does anyone know the exact formula as to how unit upkeep is calculated? I suspect it is simply a fraction of the original unit's gold cost, but I cannot find anything anywhere that specifies it.
