Description
I disliked how AI Gelt ended up conquering much of Cathay. When playing as him the choices you have are interesting, but AI Gelt really feels like he should be starting somewhere else that keeps the campaign's flavor intact.

This mod moves the Golden Order to Akendorf in the Border Princes, starting at war with the Border Princes. Gelt serves to reconquer the lost province of Lichtenberg and spread Sigmar's law to his homeland.

I definitely recommend using this alongside True World Light so Skrag doesn't start in the same province as Gelt.

Changes:
  • On Immortal Empires, AI Balthasar Gelt now starts in Akendorf in his homeland of the Border Princes instead of in Cathay. His player-controlled start is left unchanged.
  • When not playing as Balthasar Gelt, the Border Princes start in control of Varenka Hills and are at war with the Golden Order to contest the Empire's violation of their sovereignty.

Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with any other mod that doesn't mess with the starting location of factions being moved, as it is almost entirely script-based. It is compatible with both Mixu's unlocker and Immortal Empires Expanded.

The pack is just a single .lua file, so an RPFM edit is perfect. Line #5 checks if Gelt is played by a human instead of AI.

In case you're German, ich spreche auch deutsch falls einfacher <3

Hey! I'd love to play a campaign as Gelt with this start position and wonder if this is possible somewhat "easily" with a RPFM edit? I'm not a modder but have opened and saved a .pack file before. Would it be possible to point me to the change I need to make "in short" or is that more difficult than a few database edits? Thx <3

Never mind, all the minor factions are super passive anyway, so it's a not a big deal. Good mod

Zhao Ming being at war with Burning Wind Nomads is kinda annoying :steamfacepalm:

thank you for replying so quickly, i might try the mod once i installed the old world mod.

Btw i only got the idea, because i'm pretty tired that everytime i finally get to confederate him, it's already way past the late game(even past the endgame) ,and i haven't get to play 1 of his quest battle. but if i use a cheat mods(force diplomacy), it blocked me from getting his 4 Legendary Heroes.so i figured, maybe if can just established diplomacy with him from the start, i might have the chance of getting him either by confederation, or by destroy him and get him by using the recruit defeated legendary lord mod (this mod usually also bring the legendary heroes of destroyed faction if you accept the refugees)

@albarrizal92, AI versions of them? I like that idea although those areas are already a little crowded and I enjoy fighting Marcus as a lizardman.

As a player, that would change their campaigns too much for my taste. If you want to play a fun campaign with Volkmar in Mordheim, check out the Old World campaign with my Victory Objectives mod for it: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3103509908

can you also make marukus wulfhart to start on black pit and volkmar in mordheim?

Ooh create starting positions for the Warriors of Chaos.

Maybe throw Sigvald at Morathi she'd make an IDEAL vassal for Sigvald.

Put Azazel over in Cathay!

Maybe put Valkia over at Doomkeep!

Throw The Mountain Lord into the Wolflands and let him be special because he gets Chaos Dwarf Vassels.

No notes on the rest.

Could you make Zhao Ming be at peace with the Burning Wind Nomads ?

Since Gelt is gone, it doesn't make sense for him to be at war with them anymore.

Plus, it would help him focus on reconquering Shang Yang.
