Delaying Chaos invasion

[sebseb]

I made this mod for myself as I like to take my time playing and I found that the Chaos event starts way to early in my opinion.

This is the first time I mod the lua files so please help me test it.



Vanilla trigger for the chaos invasion:

Mid Game event
imperium = 4
Turn 50 - ifplayer is not at the required imperium

Late Game event
imperium = 7
Turn 100 - ifplayer is not at the required imperium

---------------------------------------------------

Modded trigger for the chaos invasion:

Mid Game event
imperium = 6
Turn 110 - ifplayer is not at the required imperium

Late Game event
imperium = 8
Turn 200 - ifplayer is not at the required imperium

imperium = 8

So I was looking at that last night late myself. I'm curious about the imperium variable. Any idea where that gets calculated? I'm trying to determine if it is a straight number of provinces or if it is more complicated. I couldn't find anything that said what imperium_level() is using to make the determination. At least not yet.

From my testing the imperium_level is still the number of provinces. I was annoyed by the fact, that even 1 province faction can spawn armies like crazy (and the bigger the faction and higher the difficult level it takes some crazy turns for some factions) and re-used a similar formula from DeI's Rome II to limit their armies according their imperium size/fame level.
And while playing with humans, my next rank unlocked roughly after getting the full altdorf territory (+1 army).

In that content and compared to Rome II (didn't really like attila so far) it would take ages for some players to reach rank 7 or 8 (including me^^).
if that helps...

And thanks for this mod

Is this save game compatibel?

Is this save game compatibel?

No, I don't think so.

I also think it starts too early. But I'm afraid that the chaos horde will be easier to counter if the event occurs so late in the game as I would have a bigger army. I may try it for my next campaign

Could you perhaps also make a "turn 80, turn 140" (or so) version? I find vanilla invasions too early but with your current mod a bit too late.

Can someone help a brother out please: I am currently editing the chaos invasion lua script file and am looking for the imperium value triggers, but can't find them. Anybody know where they are?
