After some more brute-force testing, I found the problem event - it's the 5th (3rd to last), the event for changing governments from monarchy to republic/theocracy.

After a bit more digging I realised the problem: Theocratic ideas was referred to as "aristo0", while the actual name of the idea group is "theocracy_gov_ideas" - this caused the game to kill itself when an AI switched from Monarchy to Theocracy.

Changed it, now it works without a hitch!

After a lot of bisecting, can confirm - the issue is in "Idea Variation.txt" - if I delete it, I can continue without any crashes

I'm also crashing around the 1550s. I've noticed it only crashes on the pulse event dates, which leads me to believe that crash is due to a idea group event.

In addion, it happens to every country. Maybe a bugged event, trigger or smth?

Great mod, but all my games keep crashing around 1540-160ish. Sometimes it helps to reload a few years ago, but this is not a optimal and reliable solution.

I'm consistently crashing at around 1560 playing as Asarta - tried disabling every other mod (graphical, monuments) to no avail, however turning Homebrew off seems to have done the trick. It's very clearly the AI doing something funky, as if I turn off AI using the console, the game runs without a hitch.

The main mechanic-heavy mods I'm using are Homebrew and Dwarven knowledge (I'm aware of the outdated patch, but I'm only using the tech part that lets me have more idea groups)

I know this is not much to go on, but I'll gladly help if I can some way, really don't want to restart my game (or play without Homebrew :P)

Also massively appreciate the work you're doing, especially this quickly after the new update!

Damn brackets

The Impressment Office bug is caused by a misplaced { on line 4396 in the 00_buildings.txt file. It should instead be placed between the two modifier scopes, at lines 4354 and 4355.

You can find the file at: <STEAM_PATH>\steamapps\workshop\content\236850\3105283657\common\buildings\00_buildings.txt

Until Anscylla has time to update the mod, you can manually fix the file by editing it in a text editor.

tysm for keeping this mod alive, i really appreciate you continually working on it alone for free. u deserve a lot more recognition <3

Impressment Office is still not there.

Say again. Can't get Homebrew inventions from artifisery events. event homebrew_idea.18 for example

Fixed

The mod removes Impressment Office from the game. Instead of there is placeholder building that does nothing and cannot be build.

thank you for promptly adressing it! i love this mod a lot and the idea groups make anbennar way more engaging personally. good work bro <3

Fixed refund (I hope)

also added to assimilation and nationalism ideas, some free focusing and purging

i`m agree. refunding mp doesn`t works.

Ohh, racial menu is now built on "custom gui", but old way of dealing with it was left in files, that's why I didn't noticed that something THAT importat has changed. I'll check how does it works, maybe I will come up with something interesting for that idea, in exchange for that 2.5 admin eff which was just to partialy refund loss of admin eff from purging

the refund of mana points on selecting a racial interaction in the new racial menu doesn't seem to work for the nationalism ideas 2nd idea. Development does increase when a minority is purged still, but i still had to pay 100 admin points to enact the purge edict/button click/whatever its called.

i was playing Duran Blueshield and was purging the Orcs after getting nationalism's 2nd idea as a meta strat id developed. the only other submod i have is ages reformed for anbennar.

I'll get to Silverdoged tommorow, I mean today, gotta sleep sometimes

Also if there are any compatibility mods for HB, about which I don't know, tell me, I'll add them to the description

Everytime there is an update, im basically checking every thing that homebrew introduced, and that's not even all of them

Update is out. I couldn't test it properly in game (only with console), I will apprecieate feedback after playing for 100 or 150 years, soo:
Does artificer's capacity is doubled from relic with artificery ideas?
Does assimilation idea give proper bonuses from minorities?
Does nationalism idea makes racial interactions free?
Does government ideas (aristo, pluto etc) works properly?
Is racial menu always working?
Does absolutism reduction from court ideas work properly? (and to an extent, superiority of the state gov reform)
Does mercenary ideas feel underpowered?
Does "can create client states" fit as finisher in influence ideas?
Does new decision to show provinces excluded from adjacent fort penalty makes any issues? On top of that, does information provided by that decision, match what's happening in reality? (applying modifiers, and highlighting such provinces are 2 eniterly independent systems so there might be some problems)

Does ramparts, stacked with mage towers and defensive + fortress ideas combo with fort on dwarven hold, with magic fort (as kobold), seems fair? (probably not, but that's peak of engineering)
Is there any problem with advisors?
Are artificer inventions working on tier 2-3 + unique and cultural?
Is there any problems with events regarding migrations?
Are there problems with buildings in general?
(i know that there is some weird interaction with insta building for sailors, with conscription ideas + highseas combo, but I couldn't find out why, Ovdal Tungr game??)
Is there any problem with factions?
I've threw some modifiers around, in mil ideas, regarding forts being too weak, so, is now leaning into defensive ideas even worth (countries with any MT's and defensive bonuses are favoured anyway) on every country, or you can just get offensive and don't think about that?

[*]

I still have to check every file by hand, separately, if I didn't fck up something during taking updates from anbennar, then check ingame if everything HB related works (like, bonus from assimilation ideas, can fck up race menu so it won't work entirely) aaand then, if everything is fine i'll update

we still waiting for update

<3

Tommorow I'll get to it

anscylla my goat please update

Currently not, at least as far as orcs are concerned

This was working more or less fine, as far as I could tell, on the previous Anbennar version, but as of today there is now new Anbennar version. I wonder if it will still be compatible.

If it's not, I suppose one could always download the older Anbennar versions from github manually.

you uploaded .git folder together with the mod, I'd recommend to remove it, save 6 mb of disc space for everyone

will this mod get be made compatible to the upcoming main mod update when it is released?

Love the mod by the way. I remember Trying to make the old mod this is based on compatible before you mad this one... Huge respect for actually being able to make it work.

update it pls

Does this mod break the mage heir event? I had two mage heirs and neither of them actually became mages!

Hi Anscylla, I am a huge fan of the HB submod and I want to congratulate you on the military changes, I liked some and other not too much but that is fine. But there is a huge issue with playing defensive now, the AI can easly doom stack artillary( I dont know why, but they do) and there is a lot of bonus of art vs fort in the ideas. I was playing as dwarfs with fort, serpentspine and defensive ideas, and my forts where made of paper. I know you dont have the time with your studies, but something has to be balanced here.

And another thing... is it possible to make a variant submod that has the old HB ideas?

Thank you my friend, and have a good one.

I can just add a decision which will highlight provinces with exceptions. I won't make it toggleable because defensive buildings are balanced to favour at least some degree of planing how to maximize your provinces (salt,holds or literally any modifier which just makes certain province just better location for a fort, for example) and just to discourage fort spam

also @BalkanMontero
I have no such problems, make sure You don't run incompatible mods and Your EU4 install is OK

Please if possible add either a map mode that shows valid fort provinces or just a startup option to disable the fort limiter entirely. Figuring out what provinces are exceptions from it and what aren't is annoying.

what on earth

oh no, lizard apocalypse, again

Oh yeah and are there supposed to be Lizard minorites in every province across the world? and whats with the mechanims?

Lich kings keep arising in every country after every reload and when your ruler dies a lich becomes king. Do i go back a patch or 2?

Ohhh okay. Thx. Glad everything works as intended.

Yeah, shock and fire are unlocked at mil tech 7. War production at mil 11. Artificery at mil 14 with artificers estate. Colonial empire at dip 13. Industrial at adm 11 with artificers estate

I might be talking outta my ass here, but I don't remember seeing them right from the start, so I reckon they come with a tech level requirement - they're kinda bad at best in early game anyway, at least Fire ideas certainly are.

Somehow Fire and Shock Ideas are not being shown eventhough they show up as having potential policies. In total I have 13 military/adm/Diplo Idea Groups available. Is that supposed to be like this? I only have Anbennar and Homebrew running.

@anscylla thanks

I can try to add some more logic to every idea / borrow something from xorme, but it will take some time to update since I can't spend as much time as I would like to code, sadly
(trying to not be kicked out of uni, again)

There would be needed compatibility patch, since xorme modifies values for AI, which are inside vanilla files etc

idk how to post screenshot but it supposed to give (+20% National manpower modifier -5% Discipline) all of the Quantity inno ideas vanila ones stays same if you use xorme - ai idk if they can fix that or i should ask the xorme - ai maker
