Description

Features

In vanilla, two armies can reinforce one another as long as they aren't enemies and are attacking a common enemy. A good idea in principle, but it does cause some lore breaking situations. If my Greenskin army gets attacked by a Skaven army while an enemy Dwarf army happens to be near, they'll join forces. That just doesn't happen in the lore.

This mod restricts which cultures/factions can reinforce each other, somewhat based on the lore. Check the table above for details. This only affects reinforcements between neutral factions. Allies will always reinforce each other when faced with a common enemy, regardless of the limitations introduced by this mod.

It isn't perfect in its lorefulness. Whether or not two factions would aid each other in battle in the lore depends on a lot more factors. But for the purpose of neutral reinforcements specifically, I'd say this is close enough. Do let me know if you have suggestions for improvement though. In practice, this mod won't have that much of an impact, as neutral reinforcement tends to be quite uncommon. But it's nice to have in those situations.

Some details

Chaos factions and Skaven can all reinforce each other, but monogod factions (the Daemon factions and the monogod Warriors of Chaos factions) cannot reinforce factions dedicated to one of the rival Chaos Gods. This is to reflect their constant infighting.
Dwarfs, Empires, Bretonnia, Cathay, Kislev, Wood Elves, High Elves, Lizardmen and Tomb Kings can all mostly reinforce each other. Though I felt like Bretonnia, Wood Elves and Lizardmen would dislike the Tomb Kings more than the others. The same goes for Volkmar the Grim and his faction.
Arkhan the Black isn't like other Tomb Kings, he follows the same pattern as Vampires.
Dark Elves are an odd one, as they aren't aligned with Chaos at all, but the rest of the civilised world also hates them. Tombs Kings less so, as the Dark Elves presumably can't use skeletons as slaves. They can also reinforce with Vampires, as there is nothing in particular for them to hate about each other.
Morathi can reinforce Slaaneshi factions, as can the Cult of Excess.
Nobody wants Greenskins on their side. but more importantly, Greenskins aren't very interested in sides. They just fight. Only Azhag the Slaughterer, because of his Crown of Sorcery, has some affinity with Vampiric factions.
Generally, nobody wants to fight alongside Vampires, except the Dark Elves, Arkhan the Black and Azhag the Slaughterer.
Kemmler is, unlike the other VC factions, Chaos aligned, so he can reinforce with Chaos factions.
Ogres will fight with and alongside literally anybody if there's food to be had.

Compatibility

factions

Mods that add new factions will just have those new factions able to reinforce as in vanilla, but I have made it compatible with Mixu's Legendary lords mod. The new factions in there have been given the appropriate restrictions.

You may have other mods that edit the same table. Or this mod is just drastically outdated with all the new game updates in the past 2 years.

Thank you, thumbs up and award sent! (A separate mod where 3 way ffa battles can happen ect would be sick!)

I've spent days trying to figure out which graphical mod was deleting the textures from the shield and spear of High Elf Silverin Guard and... it was this one.

I'd recommend emboldening the compatibility issue at the beginning of the description. It's not immediately clear that a mod like this would affect unit models. It's a great mod... it's just disappointing about the faction colour table.
