in plain english

World Resistance is a mod for the strategy game Total War: Rome II. It targets a common problem in that kind of game, where once a player becomes the dominant power, the rest of the campaign turns into an easy mop up against weaker opponents instead of a real challenge. The mod works by making every computer controlled faction stronger as the human player's empire grows, regardless of whether that faction is at war with the player, allied with them, or has never even had contact. As the player's territory, army strength, and treasury increase, the mod boosts the AI's income, construction speed, research, public order, recruitment, unit quality, and army recovery. It also nudges AI factions to cooperate with each other more, discouraging them from fighting among themselves so a single dominant human player cannot pick them off one at a time. The README is upfront that the resulting numbers look unrealistic at the highest difficulty settings, and explains that this is intentional. A hegemonic human player already has major advantages beyond raw numbers, like better tactics and resource management, so a small numeric bonus for the AI would not be enough to create a real challenge. The goal is not historical realism but making the late game of the campaign interesting again, with large, well equipped armies fighting each other instead of one side steamrolling the map. The README notes this is a standalone mod written for the base historical Grand Campaign, is currently in a beta labeled 0.1.8, and points players to a separate compatibility and testing document before using it in a campaign they care about. The full README is longer than what was shown.
