does not work at this point...

The opinion modifier is not for you being stronger, its for you being weaker. While you might think that "but their stats are pathetic in all categories compared to me!" It combines the power of all of your subjects, and if that combined power is stronger than you, you get a negative opinion modifier. I have tested this before and made my fleets 10 times stronger in an instant using console commands to see if my hypothesis was correct, and the opinion modifier was wrong. There is no bug, its just a misunderstanding of the mechanics (at least im pretty sure, but i could be wrong but I tested it so i dont think i am)

If you are wondering if this still works.... the answer is yes at lesat to the date I am making this post, it still works

Does it still work?

@KinzerRS - It really shows dedication for fixing bugs on PDX's side.

I love how this mod is still going after half a decade

I don't think it makes sense, nor does "global power politics" work that way either. So I'm glad I have this mod.

it is not a bug, but a feature. look on how global power politics work. it is a perception bias.
so it is Ok if it is not fixed.

The issue is still present and this mod is still needed. It's insane how after 4 years this bug is still not fixed

As far as I can tell the issue is no longer present.

i'm as curious as you

Is this issue still present?

works great in 2.3.3

PSA: This mod still works perfectly fine on 2.2.2 as far as I can tell, while @MisadventuresVG's does not (at least for the opinion modifier; not sure about any other changes).

I have recently published my own vassalization mod to adjust how empires view amongst other things the difference in population size as a positive factor. In the absence of an update to this older mod, please consider using the one listed below;

Apologies for the obvious poaching of subscribers but given the fact the author hasn't updated this mod since 22 Oct 2016, I think I can be forgiven on this occasion. :)

Does this work with 2.2.1? Is it still needed?

Still working for 2.1+. Lol. I swear, this mod is immortal. XD I wish other mods had this ones lasting power.

To anyone who doesnt know, most mods will still work even if the mod manager says they are out of date, unless its major. For example a name set will still work in any version because it doesnt change the Game's mechanics or doesnt add any mechanics.

For anyone wondering - yes, this mod still works 100% fine in 2.0.1 and the 2.0.2 optinal/opt-in patch - the data line changed for vassals is the same still.

Mod still working in 2.0.1. Love it.

Is this mod needed in 2.0?

damn finally i can get my -125 Opinion modifer away

it still works you retards... doesnt need an update -_-

please update

Need an update :)

For those wondering, all this mod changes is the -1 to +1 in this section:
opinion_relative_power = {
opinion = {
base = -1 # per 1% power
}

min = -1000

Which is found in: 00_opinion_modifiers

The mod will continue working as long as PD doesn't change the structure of the vanilla file.
It will even work when the launcher says it's outdated, this is due to the version supported being a seperate field, motivating content creators to update their workshop files on patches.
(As all it does is scare people from using the mod, it doesn't actually do anything except show you when the creator last worked on it, which you can see in the workshop already).

Thank you @Red Aria, was a bit concerned

To everyone who asks - this WORKS on 1.8.0 synthetic dawn capek update. No issues.

@TargetofTarget Do you know the specific line it changes in the files?

For those reading still: it says it's out of date but it's fine - it doesn't break anything because it's literally a tiny little math change.

>>>>This Mod is No Longer Compatible With The Current Version of The Game<<<<

Does this mod at all still I notice between with and without Mod since no difference?

1) Still working in 1.6.1 !
2) It swaps the negative impact of relative pwoer into a positive one. So the more powerfull you are in comparison to your vassals, the more they'll love you instead of hating / fearing you

And no I don't think they changed anything to Vassals. They still only help you in wars, don't give you any income. BUT with the Domination tradition you can gain 20% of their MAX Naval Capacity for yourself.

2 Questions.
1) Is this 1.5.* (Banks update) compatible?
2) Does this mod make any noticable improvements?

After all these paradox updates i'm wondering if vassals make more sense now in vanilla, witought needing this mod.

of course not it changes game files.This is not cosmetic so no.

ironman?

I find the whole vassal opinion thing ridiculous. They love me and they want to become my vassal so i do that. instatly from +100 orso to -200 but i thought they wanted to be protected because they asked for it.

becom this Mod a Update to 1.5?

Compatibility update?

that's strange... cause yesterday i had a vassal that had about 2k fleet, i had about 300k and the opinion was -600...

This mod is outdated by a vassal fix that happened at some point in the past.

Iisn't "broken", since it does exactly what it says it does. In the current patch (1.4.1) though, it's completely unnecessary: vanilla Stellaris already makes your vassals less happy with you as you become weaker relative to them. If I use this mod and delete my fleet, my vassals go from +24 happiness with me to +2,955; if I were using vanilla, they'd suddenly hate me when they were so much stronger than me and declare for independence.

Any chance for a compatability update?

Great mod that does exactly what it promises to do. Still works as of writing.

@RexRocks124 Also how does it make sense that the strongest you are the more they want to fight you, its like going against a fallen empire on the first 10 years

It still works as of 2/6/17. and by all indications will work after the 1.5 update

The thing is that they hate you less if you're not so strong, thus making rebelling unlikely when you're weak.

on one hand it makes sense that vassals would hate you being stronger because it means they can never be free unless u grant it but on the other hand wouldnt u love having a stronger military protecting you?

Not updating this?

does this mod still work?

Hey dude this is a nice mod but could u please update it to be compatible to ver 1.4 thanks dude
