Sylvania: Faction Overhaul
"At the edge of the Haunted Hills by the source of the Black Run River, Leicheberg lives in fear of its neighbour to the east, Sylvania. Its ruler, Count Petr von Stolpe, has faced the Walking Dead many times in his life and is convinced the von Carsteins mean to expand beyond their ancient borders."
Probably my most complete mod yet, this mod adds a whole new faction to the Empire; Sylvania.
FEATURES
- Sylvanian Expedition – 1 new Faction, 1 Legendary Lord, 2 Legendary Heroes, 1 new RoR, and 5 new units
- 2 new landmarks and 3 new building chains
- Custom Mechanics
- Stuck in the Past – Sylvanians are unwelcome to any new technological advancements. Sylvania will have a faction debuff to gunpowder/artillery units until you complete the "Sylvania goes BAM!" quest, issued after capturing Castle Drakenhof.
- Empire Politics – Kinda. Mostly works, except for Reinstating (IE)
PLEASE READ
- This mod is balanced for vanilla gameplay. It aims to insert itself into vanilla campaigns as seamlessly as possible.
- Tier 3 Forges and up are locked until you finish the "Sylvania goes BAM!" quest.
- Gunpowder nerfs will be removed when finishing the "Sylvania goes BAM!" quest.
- Jovi Sunscryer can be recruited by building the Templehof Light Order landmark.
- Reinstating this elector/faction will not work in IE. I’ve tried everything I could and it just won’t work, as I suspect there will be some changed needed in the startpos for it to work. Please don’t bother Mixu or anyone to ask about this.
- However, I highly recommend to play this faction in The Old World, as all Empire Politics mechanics will work there.
RECOMMENDED
- Added Tabletop Caps compatibility. Requires Tabletop Caps.
- Compatible with Immortal Empires Expanded.
- Compatible with The Old World Campaign.
