Herald's Starting Diplomacy Mods - Golg Maneater

HSDM - Golg Maneater is a small mod for the Immortal Empires and IE Expanded campaigns, which turns either (1) Ostland or (2) Nordland into a starting enemy for Golg Maneater when he is controlled by the AI, as otherwise he doesn't start with one - resulting in his passive AI behaviour.

There is a 50-50 chance for either of these options to occur, except if the player uses Herald's Start Positions - Kislev & Norsca alongside this mod. In that case, (3) AI Golg will always start at war with Ostland, which also starts owning Norden.

That is to halt AI Azhag's early expansion into the Empire while using HSP - Kislev & Norsca (where he starts in the Trollheim Mountains), and to free Wulfrik to expand into Nordland, avoiding border gore in the Empire in both examples.



This mod works well on its own, how it was first imagined. However, I also recommend using it alongside the aforementioned Herald's Start Positions - Kislev & Norsca, which rebalances the starting geopolitics in Kislev and Norsca through carefully repositioning the factions in the region.

I also recommend using these mods with my other Herald's Start Positions mods, and my mods in general, as they are all being developed in conjunction.

This mod is fully compatible with Mixu's Unlocker and Immortal Empires Expanded. It was not developed keeping any new faction mods in mind.

Herald's Start Positions mod series should work with mods like SFO: Grimhammer III, which rebalance different aspects of the game, but generally do not touch the start positions of the factions.


Credits go to Porkenstein and Swissbob for the script framework which I'm using across my start position lua script mods, and to Acephelos for helping me out with randomisation for the first two cases explored in this mod.
