New Sea Peoples Spawning

Glad you like it :)

I did some quick testing and this frankly seems way more reasonable and a bit less predictable. Lukka and Merneptah now engage in a much more protracted and rather equal struggle instead of it being a super steamroll where the Lukka just annihilates half of northern Egypt before turn 15

Ok, I thought what the heck, I made the turn 4 and 10 spawns of Lukka and Libu less strong. Compare this old spawn chart at the start vs the current one in the screenshots. :)

The Libu+Lukka Wave ones now total 3 Stacks vs old 10. :)

As I see it, it's has positives and negatives. I'm considering it, maybe making the first wave 1 stack instead of 4 and also maybe nerfing the first wave of Libu a little too. :)

That's totally fair. I just tend to prefer things to be more slow in general

Yeah, I noticed the dominance. My goal wasn't ever to make it easy for the AI. This is a split the KPO at request of an player. So the focus was to try and and bring an somewhat historical-ish schedule to the different invader factions. The Lukka were rolling around these parts pretty early on. The chaotic feel is something I went for, I'm atm playing as Kush with the Lukka ruling the Nile Delta as Pharaoh, different Libu factions holding parts of middle Egypt. When the 25th Dynasty (Kush) took over Egypt, this was the they took them from an foreigner Dynasty (Libu) and trumpeted that they were liberating Egypt from foreigners and restoring Egypts Gods etc. So in a sense it feels like an collapse of one Dynasty and an struggle for who would become the new rulers.
I hear your pov, personally I prefer it like this. I feel like I'm liberating Egypt from Chaos.

However if more people think it's too strong I'll turn the starting waves down. :)

Cool seems like you managed to fix it.

Now for a bit of hopefully constructive criticism. I personally feel like the first waves sorta need to be tuned down a little. That or maybe pushed back somewhat to let factions consolidate a little more before being hit with multiple full stacks.
Right now Merneptah, and really most of northern Egypt, get completely dominated by the Lukka from turn 4 and the world tends to get plunged into crisis super quick due to Mennefer or Iunu getting razed, which sorta throws off the pacing of the game imo.
The pre dynasties version of the invasions weren't perfect but I appreciated the feel of the slow gradual decline towards collapse, here some of that is lost it feels like due to it being a little too early and too much for the AI factions to handle effectively.

I do however also play with Bringing the Collapse which makes it even worse but that's on me lmao.

Oh, I think I figured out what the issue is, spawn is at turn 4 but the wave has an spawn variance of 5 turns +/-. I'll fix this first chance I get :)

Strange indeed, needs investigation, though I'm not the best with Lua. I'm going to see how the feature locked affects it

Strange, I use the default 3 turns per year.
