guaranteed major faction empires and Dei 1.0

[Joysong]

Looks like guaranteed major faction empires isn't working properly with Dei 1.0. its loaded before Dei used it since release of the mod so know the basics.
this battle report should not exist in my opinion. am i wrong?


UPDATE: i came with the following conclusion. DefensiveBattlesOnly insn't working (maby because of the Dei Defensive script). When i stared for the 3 time with only a factions.txt the script worked. battle reporst below in this tread.


cheers.

someone an idea?

You'll have to ask in the thread for that mod if they plan to make it compatible with DeI, it's up to them.

And same thing happened to me either. Macedon was destroyed by Epirus.

At the begining of my campaign I got the event massage "mod activated". But something like "defensivebattlesonly" was off despite being on with the 0.96 version.

Isnt Epirus a major faction?

i just wanna know if more peeps experiencing this to. so i can be sure that its not my mistake

Isn't Epirus a major faction?

not if you use a factions.txt and remove rom_erpirus from it. as you see its a minor faction now.

Buddy it works perfectly with DeI, to get that option on again you have to create a settings.txt file with a line with defensivebattlesonly to get it activated

thx for your reply. i have a settings.txt and factions.txt with defensivebattlesonly on. when i start a campaign this is the eventlog shows its on. due your comment i will try a new campaign once more. in my factions.txt i will delete rom_athens from the list so this is set as an minor faction. if athens attacks epirus an its a win the mod isn't working in my opinion. hope im wrong will let you know

Is it recommended to use this mod with DEI? Doesn't DEI encourage growth of major factions anyway?

We use our own methods to help major factions, specifically Rome and Carthage. However, if you want to have a more guaranteed (and set) campaign experience then you can use the major factions mod. I prefer a bit more variation each campaign personally. I like the idea of heading into a new area and not knowing who the local big boy is at the moment.

As I said many times before, if the major factions mod isn't working for you please post in their forums. We can do nothing to change that mod, it isn't our mod

Just a remark, the DeI method to strengthen Rome and Carthage seems to work fine in my game so far. Both future enemies of mine fare rather well, unfortunately they are not at war against each other but construct their empires in Hispania (a huge struggle between Carthage and the Lusitanians) and the Alp/Illyrian regions.
