Description:

This makes the Successor Wars mod compatible with the series of Para Bellum mods. Keep in mind all of the Para Bellum mods are optional here, but they do require the patch to play with them.

INSTALLATION ORDER

The mods should be placed in the following order with Para Bellum:

1. Armies, recruitment & garrisons
2. Better Campaign AI
3. Better Sieges
4. Edicts
5. Seasonal conditions
6. Para Bellum – Combat
7. Successor Wars – Para Bellum – Compatibility Patch
8. Successor Wars – Part 1
9. Successor Wars – Part 2
10. Successor Wars – Part 3
11. Para Bellum – Effects*
12. Para Bellum – Interface
13. Para Bellum – Population
14. Para Bellum – Units
15. Para Bellum – Units II
16. Para Bellum – Units III
17. Para Bellum – Weather

(See the Required Items section on the right if still confused)

NOTE ABOUT PB EFFECTS

Para Bellum – Effects requires to choose and download one of the movie file type files at:
-> https://1drv.ms/f/s!AkxsjR9oKKNhhboC1_0QSo1WsnVXQg?e=ceYtHc

Para Bellum – Effects movie.pack <- This includes blood, dust, fire and smoke effects
Para Bellum – Effects Lite movie.pack <- This one only blood effects (less GPU intensive)

Following the download, you must place the file in the game data folder (located at: SteamsteamappscommonTotal War Rome IIdata) then activate the Movie type mods in Rome 2’s main menu (click on Options-> Mods)
This way it loads the effects correctly but also doesn’t interfere with other effects mods and movie files in data folder. So this requires you to unsubscribe + delete movie files from the data folder to avoid any conflicts.

Also it’s recommended to set the terrain quality to Very High/Ultra to prevent blood stains to disappear from the ground.

IMPORTANT

Do NOT use Para Bellum Collection with Successor Wars, as it will crash your campaign a few turns in. But the mods listed above are basically the equivalent of PB Collection.
