Ave, esteemed commanders and tacticians of the Steam Workshop! Do you love Divide Et Impera? Do you dream of the visceral cavalry charges of Antiquity? Eager to command the marches of Roman battle lines? Ready to (literally) crush your enemies underfoot?! Then this is the perfect DeI submod for you!

Realistic Charges, Speed, & Mass offers an authentic, carefully crafted overhaul of the charge, speed, acceleration, and mass values of Divide et Impera. Meticulous historical and contemporary research, attention to detail, and calculations have gone into the development of this submod.

Special thanks to KAM 2150 for providing extra information, historical sources, and helpful consulting! It’s much appreciated!

⚡ Thunderous Charges: Shatter enemy formations! Charges across the board are now much deadlier, with refined unit collisions allowing the full mass and momentum of units crashing into each other to be felt. Units now begin their charges sooner and are quicker, and Cavalry, elephant, and chariot charges can now completely flatten unbraced formations, while Infantry battle lines now throw their full weight into breaking through and pushing back enemy units. Feel the fury as your cavalry smashes through enemy lines, instilling fear and chaos across the battlefield.

🏃 Realistic Unit Movement: Forward march! Unit speeds have been carefully recalibrated with realism in mind. A unit’s speed, acceleration, and deceleration now directly correlate with their mass. Your lightest skirmishers will be able to rapidly redeploy at a moment’s notice, while your heaviest phalanx units will need some time to get up to full speed. Additionally, marching speeds have been aligned across all units to the Roman standard of 3 mph / 4.8 kmh so that your formations remain fully intact for coming battles. Whether you're executing an ambush, launching a flanking maneuver, or engaging in a tactical retreat, your units will be primed to maneuver across the field.

⚖️ Authentic Unit Mass: Understand the weight of your warriors! Unit mass is now realistically calculated based on the bodyweight, clothing, armor, and weaponry of your troops, with values derived from historical works, studies, and research. Shock cavalry, elephants, and chariots can now be used to break through enemy formations due to their concentrated use of mass. From simple tunics and slings to the full panoply of a Parthian Cataphract, witness the battlefield as it truly comes to life with the impact of massive forces clashing.
