This mod changes borders, diplomatic relations and starting armies for Empire Divided Campaign. This is the new version of my old modified start and balance has been improved.
Main Changes:
– Campaign is now 24 TPY
– Roman Pretenders now named SPQR. Their leader Quintilius is immortal like the other major faction leaders since he is the "pretender" Aurelian is fighting with. SPQR starting army nerfed. New government => Empire
– Rome no longer at war with Buri and neither with Gallia at start
– Roxolani now a client state of Rome at start, since at start date Aurelian already had defeated them
– Gallic Rome renamed Gallia. No longer at war with SPQR at start. Lusitania and hispania at war with each other at start
– SIcily and Sardinia controlled by an indipendent roman faction, Italia. Italia starts at war with SPQR and if destroyed could re-emerge also on the paeninsula, with exception for the city of rome itself. Italia replaces Numidia
– Mauretania now holds the old numidian territory. Both factions now have roman roster.
– Greatly increased cult buildings conversion rate and demolition cost. They are more of a concern now.
– Nerfed some OP temple bonuses. e.g. No more rambo-herculiani with sol invictus temple spam
– Improved relations between Sassanids and Palmyra
– Lydia now bigger
– Galatia renamed Syria, now an emergent faction in the palestinian territories of Palmyra
– Sassanids at war with stronger Dahae and Kwarezm at start.
– Armenia no longer satrapy of Sassanids at start. Now they are only military allies.
– Minor Roman leaders now named Dux instead of Governor.
– Changed re-emergence conditions for Rome and Palmyra. Now they can only re-emerge from their eponymous cities.
– All factions can now re-emerge and be regionless. ( except SPQR )
OTHER CHANGES:
-Minor modifications for some faction leader titles and faction names
IMPORTANT: If you like this mod, please rate and favourite it! This mod unfortunately is not compatible with other mods that change the start_pos files like the general overhauls. (eg Divide et Impera)
Have Fun!
