There's an existing mod on the workshop (although it hasn't updated in a bit it shouldn't matter for this particular change):
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... ord+upkeepAs for how it's done, you need either the assembly kit installed or the tool Pack File Manager. I strongly suggest Pack File Manager, myself. The official editor erases your work after the game updates. Then you need an empty .pack file. Go to the data folder where Warhammer II in installe and copy an existing mod, then paste the clone somewhere for editing, rename it to whatever you want, and open it with pack file manager. Delete whatever is there already then right click the mod's name in the left window, select "add--from pack", it should take you to the Warhammer II data folder, open data.pack. In the new window for adding open "db", and right click the tables "campaign_features" and "effect_bundles_to_effects" to add them then click ok. Inside the tables you'll have files called "data__",
rename both "data__" files to something else, that is very important.Then you need to change the two tables:
*campaign_features--change "additional army upkeep" assigned to "wh_Feature_all" and uncheck it. Delete the other entries.
*effect_bundles_to_effect: there are five "bundles"--"wh_main_bundle_force_additional_army_upkeep_easy", and four equivalents for each difficulty setting (normal, hard, very_hard, legendary). Delete everything else and set each of those bundle's value to 0.
Just doing it without adjusting the AI bonuses in any way will make the campaign easier. Those bonuses can be changed in the table "campaign_difficulty_handicap_effects", also under db and added the same way. They're pretty self-explanatory--the number on the left corresponds to difficulty not directly but in how it favors AI or Human. Here's a chart:
If the bonus is set to affect human, than -3 is legendary, -2 is Very Hard, -1 is Hard, 0 is normal, 1 is easy.
If it isn't set to affecth the human this is in reverse: 3 is legendary, 2 is Very Hard, 1 is hard, 0 is normal, -1 is easy.
