Internal Strife
A mod aimed to increase difficulty and interactivity in internal management, as well as to reduce the amount of blobs on the map as a whole. I have tested the mod a lot, and can confirm collapsing is a skill issue.
See Tags you’ve never seen emerge from the corpses of dead empires! Watch in satisfaction as your rivals tear themselves apart in civil war! Cry in fear when you do the same to yourself!
KEY FEATURES
==========================================================================================
– A Global Balance modifier that makes managing an empire the struggle it always should have been
– Numerous changes to separatist rebels, now being more frequent and as organized as you would expect an armed uprising in the thousands to be
– Many changes to static modifiers, including Corruption, Governing capacity, and prestige
– Equal Opportunity killer: No one is safe just because paradox says you should be
==========================================================================================
What this mod isn’t:
A "Die after X Years mod". This mod isn’t like those, and instead adds gameplay.
A Difficulty Setting. The modifiers affect both the player and the AI, leading to much more dynamic game scenarios.
A Buggy Mess. Due to the relative simplicity of the mod, nigh no bugs are included!
Other important features:
Instead of making the player memorize a slew of new mechanics, this mod makes use of mechanics already implemented by paradox and makes them much more prevalent!
Tested with ET, and Vanilla, so should presumably work with any modset (although make work better with some than others)
Numerous new things one must manage, with added risks and gains to each.
WARNING
This Mod is very unkind to blobs that exist at the start of the game, and may cause them to pop much, much earlier than they should. (Read: Ming) So be wary of this. New blobs typically emerge, but rebalancing for big nations (Such as letting large empires that exist at the start avoid the modifier for some time) will be in the works if enough attention is brought to this
If this mod gets enough subs, I will gladly make a discord for it as well as update it
Comment any bugs, suggestions, etc. Below!
