ABH2 my idea always was that ruling people who have a different culture than their overlord shouldn't be such a pain in the neck. Before nationalism emerged as an idea between the 17th and 18th centuries people were not than crazy about being ruled by whoever. Also , they were a lot fewer. And cultural assimilation wasn't sth that polities really pursued.
Gamewise, since you go for cultural diversity in this submod perhaps lower public order penalties (which I think you did) , and fixing the recruitment issue. PO is a very troubling thing in this game in general.
This is why there is a tiered system and it's supposed to represent political influence. And consolidation is something necessary to forming a large empire along with political affiliation. Any group of Gauls will have trouble expanding, especially in the first stages, do to conflicting cultures. All cultures do not interact the same, either.ABH2 my idea always was that ruling people who have a different culture than their overlord shouldn't be such a pain in the neck.

The point is ruling new territory in general should be a pain. Because it was. Rome faced revolts among its Italian allies in the 1st century BC. It had revolts in Gaul, Illyria, Greece/Macedonia, Asia Minor, and Britannia. Obviously Judea. It had client states become unruly and threatened Africa (Numidia). It took a series of wars, rather than one, to pacify most regions. Rome dealt with Illyrian revolts for several centuries where as in this game, you conquer and public order is something you barely have to worry about after the initial few turns it takes you to get it straightened out. Any barbarian group would have had a lot of difficulty conquering its neighbors, and when one gained dominance over the other it didn't typically last long. Dacia, for instance, is broken up at the start of the Imperator Augustus campaign in this mod because while it had in the 1st century been turned into a larger kingdom, it quickly broke up.
Where empires failed to create any unifying aspects, such as in the Hellenistic states (the Seleucids), they crumbled from far flung revolts. Attempts to impose their culture in the 2nd century led to revolts closer to their 'home region' in this game in Syria. They conquered much faster under Alexander, and the colonists made up a small percentage of the population compared to Rome which expanded slowly over a period of time, but colonized its territories more heavily such as in Italy. It created a larger and more stable core.
The Carthaginians established a hegemony over other Punic colonies, but showed little ability to do so with conquered people. Iberians and Numidians were only kept in check with force and gifts.
So I object to your overall argument. Public order should be hard. If people don't like it, a submod isn't too difficult. But the main mod has a particular vision here, and public order is a part of that.
The solution would be for Member diadochi event on the possibility of colonization. He had to cost a lot, for example, 5000 and operate 10 turns. Hellenic culture would increase by 0.5%.
So, releasing a fix now. Quite a few fixes:
- Combat balance changes.
- All units should now have lowered stats. Every. Single. One.
- Added improvements to the better water mod thanks to VHS/Voythas.
- Fixed bug related to the rough ground region effect impact native armies instead of foreign.
- Fixed Pontic starting general having a naval unit.
- Sardinia rebel faction flag works now
- In tech tree, buildings unlocked will now show up for research (hat tip Dresden for this one)
- Fixes to emergent factions in Dacia and Parthia which were causing CTD's.
- Reduced public order penalties for occupying, and looting being too severe.
- Immunities to attritions given to new factions, such as Massylii.
On the recruitment in home provinces - no one should actually be barred from doing so. Macedon isn't from testing it, Pontus isn't, Massilia isn't. The main issue right now is AOR doesn't work.
And as for the dropping religions, Mietek88 - it's impossible in this mod for Hellenistic to lose its dominant status in Macedon within 4 or even 10 turns. The conversion rate is too slow for that. Even if it did, the home region mechanic should be working for Hellenistic. Massilia also wasn't barred from recruiting in its home region.
Does AE have something preventing camera release mods? Pretty sure its in DeI but I also tried with a separate camera release mod and wouldn't work.
Is your mod compatible with this....
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...2015-UPDATE***
I have contacted XIIICaesar about making it compatible, but the talks didn't go anywhere. It wouldn't be too hard for us to scale the stats down and make a small submod of this...submod for those who want to use it, though initially I wanted to include it in the mod itself.
The submod seems great so far, but I just have one question. Would it be possible to have a version with authentic faction and unit names, such as in default DeI? For example Rome=Roma.
I don't see death animations in your mod. Is it normal?
Now I play Seleucid. All the time hellenic cultural level drops.
This mod is pretty hard. I keep getting destroyed about 10 turns in as the Cantabri on normal
Temples do not give a growth culture, and they should.
The control zones for armies might need to be increased a bit, armies slip by my stack too easily and directly when they shouldn't be able to do that.
Is this compatible with the latest DeI release (today) and patch 17?
"You hurt me long ago; my wounds bled for years. Now you are back, but I am not the same."
I've noticed AI blitzing through two my cities in Italy in one turn, the two cities were close to each other but when I tried to do the same from a nearby city I couldn't as my Action points are depleted once I take a city, is that working as intended?
If you liberate a settlement, you can keep moving. Which is what the AI is most likely doing. As for the zone of control, armies have always been able to pass through it in Rome 2. Vanilla or mod. It's an unfortunate bug on CA's end rather than the mod in question here, though it may be a bit more pronounced with greater movement points.
Yes.Is this compatible with the latest DeI release (today) and patch 17?
