please update

your mods don't work anymore

As DeI makes some changes to the balancing of buildings in the base game I was unable to continue providing support to that mod within my base mods. Instead, I'm now offering full support in the form of an mod addon that includes all of the extra DeI buildings and rebalancing.

For those who don't use DeI: Nothing has changed.

For those who do use DeI: This mod will revert some food consumption balance changes that came with DeI, and DeI buildings are no longer reduced. Pick up the addon pack to get everything as it should be.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but this seems to be the best way to offer 100% support to all users.

Wonderful...thanks Iyerbeth!

For those waiting for the updates, I've managed to finish the reduced food today and I'll be checking for DeI compatibility tomorrow as I think there are some changes from DeI that'll be imported currently to people who don't use it, so I need to iron that out. If it's successful I'll be uploading a further reduced food version with DeI support, as well before working on the reduced squalor and finally re-adding DeI support to further reduced squalor.

FYI, I am using the Further Reduced version of your mods...no crashes yet. Using with DeI 1.2.

Thanks for that information, I'll spend today seeing if I can update with DeI then. :)

Iyerbeth, I appreciate you taking the time to explain and I thank you for the mods. I have them loaded into my current DeI 1.2 game. Since I am experiencing no issues, I will simply leave them active.

@RexJayden I'm currently in the process of removing the DeI aspects of all the mods, as I was under the impression they no longer worked after a DeI update a whole back. I'm going to put the old versions up somewhere in case people still need them though, and I might add it back in to the updated version if it works for people.

Finally, owing to the deserved popularity of Divide et Impera (DeI), all 'Iyerbeth's Reduced' mods now also provide appropriate food and squalor reductions for the additional buildings available in that mod for those who choose to use it. I am not affiliated with the development of DeI in any way.

In reading this, does one assume all 'reduced' mods only or does this include the 'further reduced' mods as well? Thank you for any clarification!

Update coming in the following days, further reduced mods were updated today.

Tested. Definitely still there. It is a minor settlement only building, if that helps you locate it. On the encylcopedia it is under town centre in the City Center tab.

I'm not 100% if it is or if the new update just doesnt effect previous save files. The building chain is the Meeting place for Rome and its mirrors for other cultures. The Auditorium chain from that building is supposed to cost 0 food, but the first upgrade ends up costing -2, then -1, then -5.

While I'm still working on the DeI issue I've uploaded a new version of this to fix any incorrect values. The problem is, there are no buildings in the uneditted Rome files which have 0 food cost, except those without food_consumption values, and since I don't add any food costs to buildings that don't already have them I'm not sure if I've addressed the issue. If it's still an issue now could you give me the full names of the buildings please? I don't actually play Rome 2 anymore and haven't for a long time so I'm not sure which are the new buildings, I just try to maintain these mods for those who do still play. :)

Thanks for reporting that Peregrinus, I'll have a look at that today.

Makes the new culture + public order village buildigns cost -2, -1, and -5 food on their II, III, and IV upgrades respectively where as in vanilla they are 0 food cost buildings

Not working with the latest version of DeI (works fine with vanilla though), food and squalor are so annoying...

There you go Riz. :)

Hi Lyerbeth can you make the mod for me Thank You

Hi Riz, I can make you one if you like and link it here, but I don't really want to maintain it would become out of date on Steam over time. If you would like me to post one up for you, let me know here.

can you make a mod that removes food requirement

Ah, thanks for the update. Was just coming on to say I couldn't find any problem, but that explains it.

ok the problem was with the taxation exploit. i thought they fixed it. i was only building food buildings in non taxed cities..

does this still work? i did the math for one province manually and i was supposed to be getting a +12 surplus according to the displays but its showing as 0. as a result i am permanently stuck in this food shortage even though i am continually building food production buildings.

Thanks for your mods !

Hi Valeriopelagatti, I've updated these mods for patch 12 beta now.

can you update your mods please?

Very good man, thanks. Yesterday having outdated mods went from being a minor inconvenience to quite the hassle. Thanks again!

Hi Romulus! Yes, all these mods are completely up to date, I added the new buildings from the 26th March Seasons and Wonders update (which seemed to include Hannibal data) and uploaded a dupilicate of it yesterday for the new out-of-date mod time stamp feature the launcher has so it should be correctly identified as up to date.

Are all of these mods updated for the latest patch? Specifically this and the further reduced squalor mods?

Hi again TheFlyingRoss, it should work fine with saved games. Before uploading any version I test it on a game where I've already won and several new games where I play for 50 turns to look for any issues and can confirm these should work no matter where you load/start from.

is this save game compatible?

Hi Juroanetkazoja, I'm really I missed your comment over the christmas period! I just noticed it this morning and wanted to to thank you for your kind comment.

good job

Thanks Hunter! :)

Nice Mods, you are probably the best Rome 2 moder I've seen so far
