Hi. I'm playing with this mod in my 110 mods modpack and I'm loving it. That being said, this mod is absolutely broken but can be, I think, easily fixed in some ways.

Context: year 2340. I own 80% of the galaxy. My diplomatic power is literally over 10 times the rest of the galaxy, and I'm outscoring 2 fallen empires by about 20%. I'm playing on commodore.

Federation fleet is absolutely retarded and fleet cap is around 10k right now.

I have 36 member states.

Now this is all fun. Like really damn fun, I adore this mod for allowing my dream to make a federal/feudal empire.

That being said, this mod hardly allows any other mods to exist and be viable. If this mod is in the game, it's the only viable playstyle.

What i'm talking about is fairly simple:
1. Build up a decent empire
2. Decentralize
3. Form federation with member states
4. Make federal fleet
5. Force decentralization on a large empire
6. Repeat step 5 until you own everyone

Because of the way vassals work, it favors number of vassals rather than strength of each vassal for the score. This snowballs really fast and makes decentralization the only viable playstyle when this mod is present...



Simple really: make the force decentralization wargoal have a much lower base acceptance.

Currently, the AI will (at least in my modpack, but this should be observable by others too) give up when you've taken just a few system. The worst I've seen is when I was occupying half of the AI's system, which was easy with the 5 overpowered federal fleets I had.

The AI gives up too easily, which I think is due to base acceptation being not low enough.

Making it 2 or 3 times lower should be good in my opinion. If I could know where the file to change this parameter is, I would gladly do testing myself and suggest a concrete number that would be adequate.


That's about it. I just wanted to bring this to the author's attention. I really like this mod and I would have a few other suggestions, for example an event "failed decentralization" after winning a war or stuff like that.

Anyway, have a nice day.
