More corruption for WRE vanilla
Let’s face it, at Very Hard the WRE is a joke, too easy for those who want a real challenge.
Why? By some Divine Intervention the WRE has lost its original maximum corruption level, it has been lowered to 60% in later patches.
Well, we Western Romans are totally corrupt and we are not ashamed of it. We want this hard-earned money back.
This is a very simple mod that gives a maximum corruption of 50% for the first 40 setttlements (was lowered to 40%) and 90% when you occupy more.
Makes the game difficult again, especially the first 20 turns and late game.
The first turns – WRE starts with many settlements – you have almost 80% corruption. In my campaign I still had a corruption of 50% at turn 15 with 41 settlements. Finally some barbarians started to occupy cities and corruption went down. But now comes the fun, as soon as you have 40 cities again after a lot of hard work, and think you can easily win, it gets tough again. And that’s what we needed, a late-game challenge.
This is a mod that I made for my own amusement, but I thought that at least a few True Romans have got what it takes to fight not only barbarians but also the degenerated, blasphemous, decadent and corrupt governors, statesmen and tax collectors that ruin our magnificent Empire.
