Excommunication Issues

[merkava]

I am a casual player so I tweaked (lowered) units' upkeeps and AI money things and started a game as Avelorn on M/M. Fifty turns in, every 'loyal' faction but me, Eatiane and Chrace have been excommunicated. How did this happen? Was it somehow because of my tweaks?

I have played this a bit previously but never had a storm of excommunications like this. I know that there is code in place to change the religion of factions who are excommunicated, so is reconciliation even possible in this mod?

Hi merkava,
Reconciliation is not possible for AI factions after they are excommunicated. That's only possible for the player.
Lowering the unkeep may have caused a financial boost for all the factions and this can increase their agressivity.
If some faction is at war with Caledor, it will be excommunicated, so it has a direct relation.

Thanks, but doesn't solve the issue-Mr. Phoenix King just seems to randomly hate people . Is the excommunication chance also based on % cultists?

[Kolwen]

No, sorry.
The excommunication is working just like in the vanilla game.
I have tried by all means to reduce the chances of Caledor attacking any Asur faction but sometimes he becomes crazy :\

I know what you mean. I started a new game as Saphery and when the Cultists and Nagarythe are at best minor annoyances Calendor starts attacking lots of people...one of which was mostly beating them down . I am kind of surprised there is no way to code in an auto-reconciliation though.
