It's out
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3295227503

In case you were wondering what was up with the mod, the problem with it was that CA's assembly kit has stopped worked for me and I could not find a resolution for that.
However, I managed to make my new startpos mod suit mixer, so big progress has been made and the work is gonna continue.

In addition to keeping an eye out for additional new things and content.

The mod is mostly done by now, but I've been doing additional testing to figure out how to keep things balanced and not too easy.

It might take a few weeks, for now I'm working on the building slots mod

I'm currently working on a new mod that will:
1. Keep all the changes of Empcon
2. Integrate Brecon
3. Add in new features (New Buildings for the Empire)
4. It will also have come with a separate mod which will increase building slots
5. Will increase the basic income.

@OneWingedBotherer
I'll update it when I can, but it should be fine as long as there are no problems arising because of the update itself.

Perhaps needs to be updated

@Guts
Possibly Cathay and Kislev

@Reitschuster

That is a bummer, is there any other faction you will make a mod for Like empcon and brecon?

@Guts
I don't actually dislike them, I've just never played them as them. Never found them interesting.

The Dwarfs could use a mod like Dawicon

@Reitschuster
Why not like the short bois?

@ChopChop
Can't do it.
Never played as the dawi even once.

Maybe time for Dawicon? 👀🙏🙏🙏

@ChopChop
You're welcome.
I'm thinking of making a new update with newer features, but first I have to think about what to add. I'm thinking of turning Empcon & Brecon into one mod.

Thank you for the update

@Reitschuster Thank you for the clarification.

@Guts
Neither.
I mean that the default Southern Realms factions get the same additions that Empire does. And you can access that with Mixer.

@Reitschuster By The Southern Realms, due you mean this mod is compatible with Cataph's Southern realms mod or Empire gets unique building when occupying southern realms settlements?

For more, see screenshots.

The Academy is back, some changes were made to it, mainly because I couldn't find the effect for the +1 Lord Recruit Rank, so instead it gives +1 Lord & Agent Recruit Rank, but no longer gives +4 rank for the Imperial Captains. Also, it's available to the Southern Realms, so it's no longer called Imperial Academy. Overall, I believe it's better. I'll give it some more attention when I recover, but for now, it's good as it is. It's a useful building.

@Tasu'Kaan
The standard port chain is supposed to give more than the riverport.
And the industry is not supposed to give the same amount as in vanilla.

It's most likely a compatibility issue, likely you have a mod that gets in the way of building effects.

I just recently tried this mod and it looks very fun. Some things I noticed is that the Imperial Wharf gives the same as regular medium river ports (not sure if that is intentional), and industry gives the same income as in vanilla (unless I messed something up during install)

Just checked, all the information on the Imperial Academy building is still available on the internet. It's more than doable.

Make sure not to plan too much in the way of Empcon campaigns within the next 4 days

[ED] Lucius El'Cliffhanger
Yeah.
I'm currently sick, though. Not able to work. I'll see what I can do this weekend. If I recuperate faster, I'll look into it earlier. I'll let people you know once it's done, or if I can't do it. But if I do it, the update will break campaigns, so that's a heads-up.

Would you be able to bring back the Imperial Academy? it was my favourite building and the +1 to Lord Recruit Rank made it one of the most valuable assets the Empire had.

Changed the Southern Realm port income.

Updated to support the Southern Realms! All new buildings have been made available for them.

@Lord of the flies
You mean building_effects_junction_tables? Where did you find them?

There are a couple of duplicate keys for buildings and effects in the mod. Just a heads up , you might want to clean it up in rpfm.

awesome thanks for all the hard work, cant imagine it would have been easy after they revamped most of the buildings. Thank you!

@Luthanor
I had been unable to reproduce the problem since the economic buildings all showed up for me on base Empcon with no extra mods, as far as the rest, it's fully operational again.

@Everyone

The mod has been updated. The imperial armory mod will also be updated later.

Oh, and it goes without saying but the update will break your campaigns. So if you're having any, don't have Empcon on.

@Warcrime Johnny
So far, the economic buildings all work fine from what I tested. Since the armory doesn't serve a key military/production anymore, it's going to turn into a more economic building. It'll still give armor and experience + global/local recruitment, but it will also give more money. It will probably become a little more expensive, though.

Thank you for your support. I'll think overnight what else can be done but it's probably going to be what I just described.

@Reitschuster I will be honest, i think the Economic buildings are the most important part. But even still, tale your time! There's no need to rush, and I greatly appreciate the work you've done!

Okay, so updates so far. I've restored the armory chain to operational capacity, but it's going to undergo some changes because of the update. It's becoming a more economic building than it is military. Might increase in price as well. The update should be ready today or tomorrow. The rest seems to be working as is.

Okay, so this is most deplorable. They've actually removed the armory chain. This might take longer to remake than I thought, I might need a few days, but I will begin today.

@Luthanor
Will look at that too

@Warcrime Johnny, thanks for the pointers, I'll take a look at it today.

@Reitschuster Some of the Empire Buildings have been moved, namely the Cav Recruitment is now a Military Support Building, as is the Gunsmith. Gun infantry is now recruited from a new line of recruiting buildings. Otherwise, not much has changed in terms of Empire Buildings

i have a number of mods installed along side this mod, so it may not be broken - but all the economy buildings are not showing up, though the tailor shop has increased in its income - so its there just not the other buildings

I will update the mod, but I will be able to do it quicker if I know what needs to be worked on. Tomorrow, I'll have a look. Or the day after tomorrow at latest.

@GorFreeze
I was not aware of the overhaul. Did the overhaul break anything? Or change the buildings anyhow?

Hi ! Will this be updated for the Empire overhaul of patch 5.0 ?

Personally, I’d be more in favor of a unique new building chain that introduces new things on top of existing changes made to the armory chain, because as things are described, it mostly boils down to being a compatibility issue with SFO and Radious, something I still consider to be their responsibility to deal with since they’re a total conversion that in this context really just infringes on minor mod territory that is based on default game.

@Captain Caveman
I think it can be done, all in all, but it should include more to it.

I think it’s a good idea, but it’d upset people that like things as they are, because even with the biggest slot unlocker mods there are never really enough slots due to inherent Mixu limitations. It’s best implemented as a submod. In addition, I think dropping changes to the armory chain is not enough to warrant a separate chain, even with profits. Additionally changes should have to be made to make it a viable choice beyond profit and increasing munitions for the local garrisons and armor. The opposite is also a concern, it may potentially make armory a less attractive chain, and it will conflict with the imperial armory submod which is based on making changes to the armory chain as well.
