Semi-Random Start Positions

Description
Still works, I'm not updating it until it actually requires an update. If the launcher warning bothers you use a mod manager.

Shuffles the start positions of the factions on the map when you click a button (see first screenshot) on new campaign start. It's not completely random, but looks at the faction culture and only shuffles the faction starts belonging to the same culture. So for example Queek can get moved to Hell Pit (a Skaven start location), but he can never get moved to Altdorf (a Human start location).

Wars get auto-declared based on the map positions. So the new faction that owns Hell Pit and the new faction that owns the Kraka Drak regions will declare war on each other, since the original factions at those positions had been at war.

The mod automatically works with any new modded factions you have.

Has Mod Configuration Tool options:
- to skip shuffling around the human-controlled factions
- to keep the ingame button visible after turn 1, otherwise it auto-hides

Compatibility:
It's a 100% script mod that is compatible with everything. Should work in Multiplayer.

also the mod worked fine without updating AND 99% will continue to work fine without any updates, this is a simple script mod that doesn't have any database changes, it is HIGHLY unlikely to be broken by CA patches

Updated:
factions will now stop being at war before being moved, without this the AI ended up in wars across the map and couldn't handle this
they still get into new default wars that depend on their new location, based on the wars the faction they replaced had had

Can we get a version of this mod that only shuffles major factions with major factions and minor with minors?

Absolutely love this mod, definitely takes out the monotony of playing a legendary lord you used before.

@Joe Barry has a point, although I'm sure you specifically wanted it to just shuffle settlements around - in that case, maybe renaiming it to "Semi-Random Starting Settlements" could be a solution ;)

hey, great mod, I'm noticing it doesnt change location for factions without a starting settlement. Unfortunately including almost all the chaos factions. Assuming this isnt just happening to me, any way to include them? thanks

Can I uninstall this mid campaign if I didn't end up using it?

it works for IE, why wouldn't it?
it's an extremely simple script mod, it's very unlikely to ever stop working
if you don't see the button your scripts are broken (nothing to do with this mod)
