Awesome thanks for the info

@shadow spion

i think so yeah , i still see sometimes diff factions growing stronger then others , so this mod jsut buff or nerf them after the random roll of the game i think

Does the game still roll faction potential at the start and if I add a bonus if gets added to what they already rolled. Or are all faction potentials set to zero at the start of the game unless I give a faction a specific buff?

for me the mod works , i can set up estalie on -4 and they get destroyed instantly .

so i guess the mod still works .


only faction that doesn't seem to work is the decievers (changeling faction)
atleast if i put it on -4 he keeps around (so not getting killed but i have no clue how that campaign works xD) normaly i try to make some enemie sof the empire weaker so they can atleast do something before vlad the dad destroy's everything :P

Is the mod really broken? I only see one comment for Tilea and one for just asking classic update. If it is, hope someone is up to take the mantle and fix the mod?

Vanilla minor faction potential is so boringly flatout increases potential for everyone. I need a randomizer like this mod gives. It was the best middle ground.

@kirin lasuerte yeah sorry dude, as I said below, I don't really have the scripting skills required to fix the mod so that it works again. I'm fine with just adding more factions so that people can change the potential of factions that are added in later dlc but if something changed so that the mod is just broken now, there's nothing I can really do sadly. :/

@kirin lasuerte read his answer to my post just below you'r question :-)

Hallo! First: Thank you for updating the mod. Its essential for me to enjoy my campaigns. It also still worked fine till the last hotfix - now its having no effect anymore (I used it to buff Cataphs factions: Tilea, BPrinces to be able to see and fight them...they now die instantly again)

is there any chance you can update the mod and make it work again?

@Slaanesh well the issue is that I only update this mod when they add factions so that the mod can use them. I don't really know much about Lua and stuff so if the mod breaks, I can't really fix it...

@redwalrus Got any plans on updating the mod in the near future? :)

The recent game update is a good improvement that gives minor factions potential, but I still prefer the potential randomizer of this mod.

Hope in future they will add faction potential randomizer to the vanilla game.

-4 doesn't remove factions anymore, it worked fine until last patch.

@RedWalrus, thank you for this mod. I made small translation in Russian of your mod. If you don't mind, add it to the description of the mod. Thanks!

I'm guessing this is not compatible with any AI mods like Hecleas overhaul? I would love the variety from this mod on top of the personal difficulty his mod provides.

For me killing factions by setting them to -4 doesn't work. I can set the value but after 1st turn it gets randomized to one of the specified values (default -1 to +2). Seems like the -4 simply gets overwritten by the randomized value.

Having the same problem with the original mod. I tried turning off all other mods, but didn't help.

It seems the lowest score is -3, and highest is +6? If so what are the vanilla major faction potential number? I did a playthrough with major faction potential as 1-3, and minor faction as 0-2. But even that was massive and almost all minor factions lived and wiped the most major factions..

What are the optimal settings if I want some potential for minor factions, but still not for them to always supersede major ones?

I did not want to go above +3 as it was described too much from the mod description, but in vanilla major factions had even more bonus against minor ones? Is it clear what number they had? Should I set major factions to +6? Thanks for the lovely mod, spiced up the game a lot!

if we are lucky, it's as simple as hitting the update button... perhaps., thanks for your efforts!

hmm let me look into it... ive been busy and so i haven't been able to really look into what these comments say but maybe i can fix it. keep in mind that i'm not really a modder to the same scope as someone like jadawin is. i was kind of just adding the factions that were being released with the dlc so people could use it for those factions... maybe i can fix it but don't get your hopes up. lol

I really hope this get fixed, its the one mod that keeps the factions in check and lets us tailor a game.

from reading other comments I think it's currently broken.

Is this working? I set dwarves to -2 across the board, and they're still winning even with orcs/etc +2

SO GREAT

Do I need to sl after set one's buffs in the middle of campaign?

Is there anyway to add factions from mods to this?

Dumb question from a new mod user here: Where exactly in the UI am I supposed to be seeing the tool to make the faction modifications? I've installed MCT (beta version) as well as this mod here and I can't find any option to start tuning the world factions.

Is the ‌max buff‌ harder or easier compared to the ‌Stronger AI (SA) mod‌?

I'd also be curious.... Users, author, would anybody who knows more please be so kind? <3 Thanks

Does anyone know whether this mod is actually working? I set VCs to +6 and they are still losing to The Empire

Remove woodelves. Remove kebab.

thanks

Anyone notice it working or not with the beta branch? I'm currently testing, just curious.

thanks for maintaining this mod! It's a staple in my campaigns :D

Thank ye

@888Umer Be aware that modding isn't really my thing. I'm just updating this mod for every all of the new factions that are added in the future. I think I fixed your issue though so I'd check and see.

Hi.
Quick question:
The WH2 version of the mod had an extention for the more popular custom factions (OVN, Cataph's, etc.).
Can we expect that?

Thanks for the mod

getting an error after turn ends in your log....

No MCT setting exists for active faction:
wh2_main_rogue_jerrods_errantry
wh2_main_rogue_hef_tor_elithis
wh2_dlc11_cst_rogue_bleak_coast_buccaneers
wh2_dlc11_cst_rogue_boyz_of_the_forbidden_coast
wh2_dlc11_cst_rogue_freebooters_of_port_royale
wh2_dlc11_cst_rogue_grey_point_scuttlers
wh2_dlc11_cst_rogue_terrors_of_the_dark_straights
wh2_dlc11_cst_rogue_the_churning_gulf_raiders
wh2_dlc11_cst_rogue_tyrants_of_the_black_ocean

then game crashes

Using this, Siege AI & Mechanics Overhaul and Loreful Strategic threat has made any AI mods redundant on my part. AI mods seem to break more than they fix so instead guiding the AI to the prefered outcome in a more elegant manner like mentioned above is the way to go imo.

Anyway thanks for mantaining the mod, much appreciated!

Great, mod. I'm starting to use it and am hoping someone with knowledge can answer the following:

Does this mod override or apply a modifier on top of the default faction potential value?

For those that don't know, in the base game every faction gets a (somewhat) random value for their faction potential. Major factions all get a bigger value than minor factions and there is some variation in what value a faction gets from campaign to campaign. This can help create a variety of outcomes between Major factions. I believe faction potential impacts certain campaign buffs (e.g. base income, upkeep reduction, local/global recruitment) and also impacts auto-resolve outcomes between AI.

I've done a little testing and I can make Minor factions "beat" Major factions for example, but I still want to understand the underlying mechanic at work.

Thank you!!

This mod alters the faction potential of set or random factions so yes it most likely alters any ai mods behavior in a way not intended by said ai mods creator.

Dpes this mod work with Deep war AI?

@RedWalrus

Does this affect AI mods? For example: modifying the factions with this mod could affect the decision making of Heclea's AI or no? Thank you for any future feedback :D

thanks a ton :)

Oh I'm dumb. Sorry I'll fix it right away.

It should... In what way does it not work? Like causes desync immediately or just doesn't do anything?

Not working with multiplayer atm.

Thank's for the update mate

Thanks for keeping this updated!! If you have time, we all would thankfull if you update it also for the new DLC! TY!!

Thanks for keeping this updated was worried nobody would do it.

it's safe to remove mid game but the effects from the mod will persist i believe. you might want to return the settings all back down to vanilla before removing the mod i think but im not sure. and no it doesn't overwrite anything that ca did
