Light Version of DeI?

[Felius]

Is there or would be reasonably feasible to make a light version of Divide et Impera? Both in terms of script load and overall changes to the game, not only to allow a gradual change from vanilla to this mod, given how big some of the changes are, but also to give a version more easily played by those with less powerful computers.

Personally I've tried the mod but not only I got a bit too lost, the turns were taking a bit too long even at the very early game, not to mention the occasional freeze-crash. As such, I would really like a version that give me some of the mod without being too heavy on my computer, at least until I stop being so lost.

Hey,

which freeze-crash we are talking about? In the loading screen after battles? Between turns?

After battles: Long loading times. This is not a freeze, simply wait. Without a SSD it can easily take 1-3min.

Between turns: There are reforms which require loading times at certain turns or events. Also resulting in a state which is similiar to a freeze but is not.

A cut down version of DEI goes against the whole philosophy of this mod. We strive for depth, realism and challenge. There is a sub-mod for less powerful machines that reduces the unit variety a bit (but biggest effect is your own graphics settings). Unfortunately to really get out the most of Rome 2 and this mod you need a fairly decent machine. I find a SSD drive makes a huge difference in loading times too. There a threads where you can ask advice on best graphics settings here also if that helps.
