Description
Updates the factions to include some more sensible wars from the start of the game

Zyarth is now at war with both Hatikvah and the Godrealm of the Paranid

Holy Order of the Pontifex is now at war with Segaris Pioneers, Terrans and Hatikvah by default

Works mid-save but might cause some chaos loading into mid-save as ships that thought they were safe are suddenly under attack. Can also be taken out mid-save but you will have to live with the aftermath of the wars.

Thanks again for your help!

@Lechrenski those type of errors are usually benign, you can get that error using my sector mod and my economy mod since they both add <matchextension ="false"> I probably should just add a silent="true" so it doesnt print as an error

But the errors provided are related to the terran meaning it needs to load the terran_dlc first for load order, I've only used the customizer for vanilla files so I'm not 100% sure how to adjust the load order

add -logfile debug.txt to launch options in steam and it will print you a legit debug log in your documents folder when you run the game

Strange. I'm new to modding, so I've never seen the "multiple xpath matches" error before. I agree that X4 Customizer tends to get easily confused, though.

@Lechrenski i have no idea, never seen that in my error debug, it probably loaded terran_dlc after this and didnt know what the line was trying to tell it since terran dlc didnt print yet, I dont think X4 Customizer respects the content file for loads

Any idea why SirNuke's "X4 Customizer" extension checking tool is outputting these errors?

Checking extension: z_wars

@DouDou39 I've never tried it, but a quick glance through his github for dynamic wars says it should work and eventually overwrite this with dynamic relations but again it's not something I have tried. I think if you took this mod off and loaded a game without it then put it back on and load in again then it might reset to these values?

I am interested in your mod to trigger these wars, but I do not want it to be permanent but subject to the DeadAir Dynamic Wars mod.

Can I download your mod and will I have to delete it afterwards so the war is not fixed? Or your mod just starts the war and it can end normally with DeadAir Dynamic Wars?

@Dakier "Wretched Skies X was claimed by Paranid forces only recently, after the Gates reconnected. Looking to secure their position against the Xenon sited in these parts of the universe, they began to fortify the sector, and have contacted the Godrealm in a bid for support. Paranid-Split relations are tense, and their forces clash occasionally, but due to the fact that these Paranid troops are acting as a first line of defence against the Xenon, their presence is begrudgingly tolerated by the Patriarchs, for the time being."

As per the encyclopedia for Wretched Skies X, this is my main reasoning for including the war between them, they are more closely aligned with the Holy Order then the Godrealm.

Sensible wars?

I'm not sure how the Split Families being at war with their only ever ally, a loose one at best, the Godrealm of Paranid. There's more precedent for Split and Teladi being at war than Paranid.

hi.... is there any possible way to make the ai/npc not so F-ing stupid??? because cap ships will attack fighters even if the is another cap ship near by or even if u are attacking it and wreaking its face !! they keep on attacking the same target (very aggriVATING ))any body who plays the game knows this (((except for the developers of this game))) of course
