4.0 also no workee :( no rival button

A similar mod (slightly more restrictions) for version 3.12

Incompatible with 3.10, removes the rival button completely.

Won't work for the new version

just wondering when this and the rest of your mods will be updated?

Is there a way to remove the cool down?

Seems like it'll need an update for 3.9, as if you take the new tradition, which expands the acceptable range, it overwrites the default, which this mod makes no limit.

Updated for 3.8+

Probably not given this mods not been update in some time, the mechanics were different back then.

I wonder if this author is aware that the mod allows subjects to rival their overlords. This causes a closed border issue every time you subjugate someone by force, which really kills Overlord gameplay. A shame, really because this mod was the only way I could meet my militarist faction's rivalry demand.

Rival and Humiliate Anyone My newest attempt at something similar.

@ensavil ty. That clears things up. Shame as this was a v. useful mod.

@LordLony ty. Your mod seems to get caught by the same issue described above I think and I still can't rival anyone other than vanilla behaviour.

Following a lengthy struggle with this mod's seeming inability to work, I have determined the cause of the problem to be a conflict with another mod overwriting the same game_rules section. To my knowledge, overwriting game_rules is fundamentally different to overwriting defines in that rearranging the load order is insufficient to solve compatibility issues. Simply put, if any mod that overwrites the is_valid_rival is loaded alongside this one, it becomes impossible to rival anyone.

As of known incompatible mods, I have identified three of them: ! The Merger of Rules 3.3, Expanded Diplomacy and Espionage and Additional Vanilla Buildings 3.3.4 Patch. Since these are all popular and useful mods, the fact that they conflict with Rival Just Anyone is greatly concerning. To make matters worse, a potential patch solving the conflict between Rival Just Anyone and the above mentioned mods would be prone to becoming outdated due to the need to overwrite those mods' game_rules files.

I have created a similar mod to this, hopefully work for those that are having problems.
Rival Anyone

Yo Raptor, you still alive?

I'm still unable to rival others, says that I can't rival anyone pathetic compared to me. Maybe this needs an update for 3.2?

doesn t work for me sadly

Will the lift restrictions apply/effect the ai's ability to rival me/each other?

Hai. Is there any way you can make this mod allow Driven Assimilators to mark rivals? I find it kinda dumb that I can't rival a fellow machine empire, or some purifier empire next door.

thank you!!!

Can we get a ko-fi donation option?

Wonderful!

Updated
Now also ignores all the restrictions from Federations (bad relations, envoys etc.)
If you don't want that there's a version to just change the pathetic/overwhelming here (that one won't be further updated though): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2465025220

Thanks FGRaptor

It still "works" as for the original scope of the mod. Which currently is the change to allow any relative power to rival (pathetic to overwhelming).

But it seems they added more checks to rivalry now like envoys, bad relations etc.
I thought this mod was safe, but looks like I need to figure out where they have hidden all these checks.

seconded ^^

FGRaptor, can we please get this mod updated?

Hello, can we get an update to 2.8.x. Is this mod abandoned?

This mod works for me. Just need terrible relations or a envoy harming relations. I just rivaled 3 pathetic level exterminators who hated me anyways.

can you update it doesnt work now thanks

I'm seeing requests for update to 2.8.0 Butler, I would like to add my request to this also

is the relation requirement hardcoded or can I change this as well? I don't like having to wait until the relatiions are low enough to declare a rivalry.

2.8 update ?

Can this be updated to 2.8 please?

can you get this too work please

nope

Does this work for 2.7?

这下舒服了，不过若是关系不够恶劣还要派个特使损害下关系，不科学哈哈

@ Evil_Lord_Proteus As far as the Casus Belli thing, Since the Federations release I've noticed that if a galactic focus has been set where you force open all borders to handle a crisis it will disable your ability to go to war until the "threat" is dealt with. I had this occuring in my recent no mods playthrough and can confirm its definitely not from this mod.

Odd. Must be some other strange factor. I am actually encountering other strange behaviours in the game, such as certain Megastructures not being buildable despite all criteria being met, like the Dyson Sphere.

I had no issues so far, and this mod does not change anything other than just the rival thing

Anyone getting a problem where the player cannot initiate Casus Beli or set war goals? Not sure if it's the mod, but it's only 1/3 mods I am using and am trying to get to the bottom of it.

great mod now i can hate my neighbour again XD

Cool, thank you for doing so!

Updated to 2.6.1
@binky I am updating my mods right now, so check back in a few minutes for my Safety Off mod or others

Hey thanks for updating this, really wish it was integrated into the base game. On a side note, is your Safety Off for Colossus mod compatible with 2.6?

hoping for an update or confirmation it's compatible

pls update to 2.5

Update, please?

when is next update?
