Grand Campaign minimod

[Livebyte]

Hello everyone. This isn't the first campaign mod, but I thought there was room for more. The Grand Campaign minimod contains minor changes to improve your campaign experience without going to unbalanced extremes.I have not yet extensively tested, but do not expect any major problems. Enjoy!

Changes:
* Armies: Now available at 4+4 per level of fame. 4, 8, 12, 16, 20.
* Navies: Now available at 3+3 per level of fame. 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
* Edicts: Now scale up to 10! 2, 3, 5, 7, 10.
* Agents: An extra agent available at every level.
* Commanders: Should spawn faster. Let me know if this works.
* Slums: Take longer to construct. Untested, let me if this works. Reduced cost to destroy by 40% (500->300).
* Food: Should provide more bonuses and penalties in general.
* Attrition: Maximum increased to 20% from 15%.
* Raiding: More significant in general. You'll do more damage and factions will like you less for it.
* Zones of control: Increased by 1 for armies (20%), 2 for navies (40%). It should be more difficult to evade hostile armies.
* Campaign camera: When you start a new campaign you will be able to zoom out 3x as much! Does not conflict with startpos mods.

Works like a charm. Thanks for the mods.

Hey, I'd like to use this with Radious' army size mods, but I dont think I can since I'm assuming both his and your mod are MOVIE pack file types instead of MOD ones.

So uh, care to explain how to modify army limits? If you did I would just edit them myself and use your mod over his

[Livebyte]

Massive attack, there was a thread very recently describing how to set it to any arbitrary limit. You can use that, but the easiest way to do what you want is either replace the campaign_variables file in his mod with mine, or simply load mine after his - prefix it with a "z-" or something, I think that works.

Thanks for the mods.

[Massive_attack]

Good stuff, I like that rename idea. Thanks Livebyte! I'll need to find that thread too, any idea where it is?

+Rep, by the way, for this and all your other mods. I'll be looking forward to see what else you do!

[CXZAR]

Amazing!!! thanks a lot man, nice changes!

Hey Livebyte,
I posted a question about changing army limits and thank you for this. On the other hand, would you mind sharing how you actually re-pack the data? Just like Mitch I got, having edited a lot of entries, Tweak open the db files and I found what I wanted to edit. Except I cant re-pack the data and I cant get it working. I am only asking because, although your did and excellent job, in your mod there are lot of changes I do not want so it would be great if I could do my own editing...
Thanks in advance for the info.

The most recent PFM beta version works for saving RTW2 packs. If you try to make a "new" one it will fail, though, so replace the contents of an existing pack and save it as something else to create a new pack.

Thanks. Maybe this was the problem, i got it into a mess. I will try tonight!

Can you take a screenshot? I've tested the edits and that wasn't happening.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Excellent thanks. How is it installed?

[Buggs]

If steam is installed on C drive Just extract it to: C:\Program Files (x86)steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II\data. And thank you Livebyte for an excellent mod - It makes a world of difference!

[DeathDenial]

Possible to have a separate camera mod? Having the ability to zoom out more seem really nice! Thanks!

[Livebyte]

I think that's available standalone very nearby in this forum section. :-)

[VektorT]

Save compatible?

[Livebyte]

Of course. :-)

Yeah I found it, too bad I don't know how to install

Ah, the slums and raids changes sound are a good idea!

Massive attack, there was a thread very recently describing how to set it to any arbitrary limit.

Radious_Campaign_Mod.pack
zLB_GrandCampaignVars.pack

So by doing this I should get:
- Radious' diplomacy changes
- your slum and raid changes
- your changes on things you guys both changed in your mod
is that correct?

That would be excellent! I am liking this TW modding. (RTW is the only one I played for a decent amount, but that was aaaages ago, back then I never even knew there were mods, except for silly stuff like LOTR flags.)
