Realistic Tribes

This is a relatively simple mod that serves one purpose: to make tribes more realistic.

The accuracy of tribes in Imperator Rome decays over time with the questionable civilization growth, the easy reform decisions for AI, and the ability to found tons of cities. Most tribes from the Imperator Rome starting date were actually relatively static and didn't undergo much growth, with few exceptions. Though this isn't entirely accurate, it's more accurate than currently in the game.

How does this mod accomplish the directive?

•At gamestart, a modifier is applied to all tribal nations (including players) that adds a culture and government-specific civilization value modifier and makes cities harder to found. It isn't impossible to overcome though, as AI nations can reform if they are federated tribes with a certain civilization amount and players retain the Tribal Reform mission tree.

•Tribes fighting a Great Power not of their culture group in a defensive war will unite and ally with surrounding tribes, along with gaining very bonuses. This should accurately simulate events akin to the rise of Vercingetorix.

•Every year, the mod checks again to see if any tribal nations have been reformed or changed government type and removes (or adds) the tribal malus accordingly. It works with releasable nations, new nations, etc. This should not cause a noticeable performance impact.

•You can turn the mod on or off with the settings at gamestart

That mod makes it so that tribes collapse with certain criteria. Use if you don't want to enable AI mods.
