This mod is essential, I hope it makes the transition for Warhammer 3

One of my favorite mods, thanks.

Hi! will be there a version of this mod to WH III?

It's strange that almost every time I open a gear my green orcs are killed by dwarves, and the order camp including the Elector is very powerful... My evil forces were wiped out in a dozen rounds

Yes

Is this compatible with SFO?

It tends to make the effects of the script on overall outcomes much milder. All the major factions will pretty much survive, but they aren't guaranteed to expand as far.

It means the script will only ever act in favour of the defender. Same rules apply but major factions will only be super-powered when defending, not when conquering.

What does the Defensive Battles Only setting do?

@Darbie means one of you had corrupted downloads or a malfunctioning launcher.

unsub and resub, Verify game caches, use Keadrin's Mod Manager instead of the launcher.

This mod causes Version mismatch with my co-op games. I had 5 mods on, all the same for both of us, even in the same load order, Version Mismatch. turn this one off, no problems.

Alright, thank you for the heads up!

No. Hordes for the most part are exempted factions (the mod doesn’t touch their battles).

Will this make new Beastmen main faction stay alive longer so they become a threat too?

thanks!

So basically: the way this mod works, auto resolve massively boosts the chances of major factions against minor factions. This can cause the player's allies and vassals to get crushed in wars very easily against major factions, so we disable it by default. You are correct in that it prevents allies from getting affected by the mod.

You can see what is default using the "revert to defaults" button on the left hand side of the Mod Configuration UI.

and if the "script" is disabled for allies, I assume then that allies will not be given advantage or disadvantage based on the mod?

is "enable script for allies" enabled or disabled by default? it's unclear whether checking this box will enable or disable it in the mod configuration tool.

GTFO LMAOOO DEAD ASSS?

Maybe he's coming back :)

Gotcha, thanks

Celtik quit modding. Other AI mods will similarly work with this one.

You mention "Celtik's Advanced AI", but I can't find that by searching. Has the mod/user been renamed?

Hey man, love this mod,

Was just thinking i really like this mod because it keeps the main factions alive. But even then some major factions steam roll and wipe out other major or loreful factions.
Do you think its possible to mod a massive auto resolve bonus to major faction CAPITALS, so that even if they don't build an empire they still survive.

This is not asking to make this or that.. its just a thought :)

@Drunk Flamingo, I love your mod man, but can you please tone down Karaz a Karak? They shit all over the orcs EVERY time and then it's just this blue wall of Dwarves to the south east. I would rather have the Orcs have priority than the damned Dwarves. I appreciate it.

this is compatible with SFO

make it compatible with SFO pleaseeee

Update for new dlc?

Yes

Does this work with the Random Start Position mod?

Great mod, always love your stuff, just to check, I see Averland listed as a secondary, but none of the other Empire states. So are the other Empire states considered minor and major factions will get bonuses against them?

Yes, it would be nice if this had functionality with the MCT again. It appears to work be default, but the interface is bust.

Can you update it for new version of Mod Configuration Tool? It shows up in it but the text is missing, it's all blank.

unbalances SFO, i dont recommend.

Is this multiplayer compatible?

So basically what this mod is to restore the original CA auto-resolve boni given to the LL factions, right?

Does this need an update?

With recent patch waagh is not a separate entity on campaign map anymore, so theoretically that's not needed. Not sure how they're calculated in autoresolve now though. That's why I still have them in major list - together with their LL factions. Just to be safe.

When manually adding the new Greenskin factions to the lists should we also add their corresponding Waagh faction to the Secondary Factions list like the other Waagh factions?

@Hemaka I only think of it if the author would agree

Keep in mind that it's currently outdated - check the comments section for additional info.

@kosakop
I could, but I'm not gonna just steal someone else's work no matter if it's not being updated with every patch.

anyone have a link to the advanced AI mod in the description?

@Hemaka would it be okay for you to take over the mod as I am a complete greenhead with modding therefore I don't really know how to add the tables or modify them. Of course if the author agrees?

@Hemaka you're a life saver thanks the advice. I ended up just opening the factions table through RPFM and copying the relevant faction names, luckily I didn't have to find any modded faction names due to the other mods only adding lords/heroes to already existing factions.

I'm gonna see how balanced my changes are then see about editing the auto-confederation section, I've only got 1 or 2 factions from each culture classed as "major" in my list so hopefully there won't be any need to make changes.

I may actually disable it for Empire when I'm playing as them though to avoid getting negative authority from other major Empire factions confederating with the minor ones but I'll see how my changes play out before messing with that.

Thanks again for the help!

Also one tip - if you'd like to modify the availability of auto-confederation option for other cultures (it's below secondary list in major_empires.pack), you'd have to add there names from "subculture" column, not the "key" one. Vamp coast and Tomb kings can't confed.

Good luck!

2. Not sure about Mixu's mods cause I don't use them. Perhaps just open his files with RPFM or PFM and look for factions table. But if they won't be there - perhaps it's worth looking into game's database, in which case you'd have to:
- download and install TWW2 assembly kit beta from steam (you get it with base game purchase and it's in tools section, not games) - you'll need it for database files
- open PFM or RPFM and look for "load all game packs" or "load CA packs" options - in PFM it's in "game" dropdown menu
- when they're loaded search for "db" dropdown list, then "factions" table, and open "data_"
- needed names will be in a "key" column as shown in this screen [imgur.com]
As you can see in my case the factions table is modified by some mod (hn_eb_data - propably banners), so maybe it'll be the same case with Mixu's and you'll be able to find your names there

1. Yup - any faction that is NOT listed in one of the two lists is considered "minor", which means that it doesn't get any autoresolve buffs and is susceptible to the "major" factions autowin mechanics. What it means is that unlisted factions get wrecked quickly
I guess it might be nice if you're just bored and want to get to the big LL factions showdown asap, but otherwise I wouldn't use the option to treat secondary factions as minor.

@Hemaka Hey man I see you're answering a tonne of questons so sorry for asking some more, but I'm making changes to the pack file and just want to make sure I'm getting it right.

I notice there isn't a minor faction list, only the major and secondary factions. Does this mean that if a faction is removed from these lists they're considered minor? I ask because I usually just select the option where the mod treats secondary factions as minor ones in the mod manager so want to change things up a bit by having the actual factions I want in the secondary list instead.

This leads me to my next question which is where can I find the database names for each faction? I use Mixu's LL mods and want to add some more factions to the secondary list that aren't on there yet.

Thanks!

@hypnos_72
Did you use RPFM or PFM? Try saving .pack file as a separate, new file for example on your desktop, and then copy & overwrite into proper workhshop folder. Also I'm using KMM (mod manager), don't know if it works properly with default CA's launcher.

Hi! @Hemaka. I've personalized this mod many times, but after the new patch I can't get it work properly. I follow your instruction about edit the original mod in its workshop folder, and test it with MCM, but it doesn't appear there.
