Trusty Research

Description
This mod allows nations to allocate their starting research, instead of the game allocating it randomly or uniformly. The total amount of RP is kept the same. Each nations starts with temporary wisps according to their magic scales. The wisps disappear after one turn, and so should be used to research on the first turn.

Note: the number of wisps scales with the magic scale in a nation's capital. Nations that have a site that changes their capital magic scales may have a different amount of starting research than they usually would due to this mechanic.

Compatibility: this mod should be compatible with nearly all other mods. It adds a single monster, and 7 events, and sets start (non-wisp) research to 0. No custom fixed IDs are created, and no existing IDs are modified.

Thanks to Lucid for doing the graphics and Banner!

Since MA Man has a site which gives them more magic scales in their capital, when using this mod they start with more research than they would otherwise. I don't know that there's anything that can really be done about that, but it is an advantage Man gets over other nations that is probably unintended.

@Entropy @FacePerson the .dm file for this mod has a space instead of a _ in the filename. Renaming it to Trusty_Research.dm worked for me.

Loving this mod. Is anyone else having issues with playing using the Illwinter multiplayer lobby with this mod turned on? Players seem to crash to desktop when joining if the mod is enabled. Other mods seem to work fine.

Just a warning, mods are loaded in the order they are clicked in the game. Since this mod doesn't use fixed IDs, the game will generate a new id for the wisps, then when you load another mod, they may be overwritten. Sadly, mixed non-custom IDs and custom IDs mods don't work very well, and most have decided to go with fixed IDs.

This is a great idea. Though I wonder if there's away to make it unaffected by inspiring researcher.

The wisps get bonus research from inspiring researcher.

The AI used them to research as normal
