    Once again I cannot express in words my gratitude for you and your team, Dresden. I feel like a 6 year old on Christmas day when you post an update.

    A question, do the changes to the major faction autoresolve script break the no major faction autoresolve bonus submod?

    No, any custom script will need a callback into campaign script (which is another sheet) so to remove a custom script like autoresolve you'll just have to remove that callback and that's what that pack does.
    Beware that autoresolve script is extremly needed for balance, without it major factions will loose a lot of regions in less than 50 turns (cathago for sure).

    Have no idea.
    Ask this into realism submod thread or go into realism discord.
    That's not the place to ask about other submods compatibility.
    Thx.
